My first memory of Vader is the scene in Empire where he chops off Luke's hand. I was probably too young to watch it because it made a lasting impression on me. While I'm now more of a Trekker than a Star Wars fan, I still enjoy the movies greatly (with some exceptions), and sculpting Vader was ultimately unavoidable. I see you've re-designed him a bit... I wanted to leave my own mark on this Vader, so I redesigned his body a bit, which I hope you don't mind. I believe the spirit of Vader is still there. I left the helmet as canon as possible! So does this print without supports as well? Yes! With one caveat. Because of those annoying little sticks that stick out of Vader's face mask, I had to separate the body from the base, so there are two pieces to print. The Body The body part leans quite heavily, so place a nice wide brim on it to keep it in place, and if you feel safer, put some supports down as well. The body can also be printed without infill, which is how I printed mine. The Base The base needs infill until the three little "feet" end, but beyond that it can be printed without it. There should be no need for any printer to use supports. This is fan art, provided for free, and I fully acknowledge the Darth Vader likeness is the property of Lucasfilm Ltd.
