One of my favourite Star wars characters is Count Dooku, especially the Clone Wars version, and I have been wanting to sculpt one for a while now, so here it goes. It was 3d sculpted using ZBrush and 3d printed on a Zortrax m200, then Hand painted using Vallejo paints!

The project was supposed to be a study after the original sculpt of Darren E. Marshall a challenge to see if I can make it look as close as possible to the original and a huge desire to have that sculpt in my office, I ended up learning so much from this project.

Make sure to check out my Blog for the entire project walkthrough

I created this 3D Printed BB-8 droid!

It is motorized and remote-controlled to move around and interact.

I’ve made the design in SketchUp, It’s printed half-size so it doesn’t take tons of filament. The robotic platform is Arduino-based so you can add programmable LEDs and sounds.

The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONnFEvNyB_g

Enjoy!

First my idea was too large and too little time to implement, so I said that the size dosn’t matters and I focus on utility. Too soon I have a ball and decided to make cufflinks for my shirt. I am a fan of Star Wars so of course the cufflinks will be the theme in StarWars. They have been printed with a layer 0.15 in ABS. Everyone knows that the biggest problem is just the smallest prints, so it was this time.

I hope that someone like them and surely someone will use them:)

Hey ! I am glad you like it :smiley:

I don’t really have time for that these days, but maybe after the competition.

My painting skills are not so good, so my model might look very ugly after.

Hello Simona,

I understand that the deadline on March 21st but is there a cut off time? If there is a cut off time, please let us know the time and time zone.

Thank you!

My friend and I decided to make the map to Luke Skywalker from “The Force Awakens.” Then we took it a dozen steps further.

To be clear, we didn’t print the map itself. We printed the flash-drive-shaped object that BB-8 carries around, but with space to fit a real flash drive within it. With this, we came to realize, “What good is a flash drive without a USB port?”

So then we printed a Star Wars themed USB port with over a dozen 3D printed PLA parts. The port is complete with a mechanical descending and lowering vertical port, plus a fully-functional mechanical iris door at the top. The Resistance can finally read USB drives.

Check it out:

Hi Simona,

Is there a specific cut off time on March 21st? You mentioned that the winners will be decided on March 21st so there must be a cut off time in order to give the Ultimaker / 3D Hubs team members enough time to go through all the submissions and decide on the winners.

+1 for NEW DESIGNS. Seems like someone is downvoting people all around and put you into the negatives. I really hope the judges totally neglect the votes. It’s creating a bad aura for the entire community.

I can’t promise it will be fantastic, but I can promise it will be a new model and not something that was an old project that gets thrown in the hat.

At least i am honest i did not make all 3 of them, made 1 of them and altered the others to fit bottles to be part of my whisky collection…

Hi to everyone this is my entry

It’s a R2D2 working with Arduino.

I will keep updating the design (electronic stuff) because many parts are coming in theese days.

Hope you like it.

Why are people downvoting new designs and upvoting old ones who should be disqualified? BAD 3dhubs, bad!

You need to credit the original artists when you take them. So your true entry is the Lars. You should only apply with that. Taking someone’s model and adding a cylinder isnt that hard…

If fully agree with this point. How can someone with an original design, who enters late ever compete with the early entries which have been copied

What a horribly ran contest. Simona obviosuly doesnt care with her copy and paste replies. Bad moderator. Heck there’s no moderation at all as you can see, she doesn’t even actively monitor this contest. I wouldn’t even be surprised they awarded the Ultimaker to a old design. 80% of these entries are old works made prior to this contest. 3dHubs you should be ashamed.
