About the Han Solo 3D Printed Blaster:
This spectacular piece was designed by Elliott Viles to help celebrate the announcement of the new Star Wars film several months back. For those unfamiliar with the Han Solo Blaster, it is a DL-44 sidearm weapon used by many groups of individuals within the films. It was popular because of its ability to be easily modified and because of its rather lethal firing action. This blaster typically would be found with a motion sensitive scope and a system to alert the user when they are running low on ammunition.
Of course the blaster that we are giving away here is only a toy, so don’t get any ideas. The 3D printed blaster has been printed and finished professionally at My Mini Factory. In total, it took them a staggering 900 minutes to print at a 200 micron accuracy.
This awesome 3D print can be yours. Enter the contest here: https://3dprintboard.com/showthread.php?14030-Win-An-Awesome-3D-Printed-amp-Painted-Star-Wars-Han-oSlo-Blaster-From-My-Mini-Factory!
