darth vader phone holder

thingiverse

Someone at work assigned me to create a Darth Vader-inspired phone holder, and this is what I came up with. It measures 200mm tall, designed for the iPhone 7 (I'll need to test print it to confirm the size fits correctly). Due to its size, I removed his head, requiring gluing to reattach it. The plinth provides stability for the phone and bears the words "You will join the dark side". To assemble, align your phone with the mark on the base, then glue the feet in place. *Updated* I revised the helmet to create a more rounded shape and drilled a hole to ensure proper alignment of the post. Additionally, I filled in several unexpected holes that appeared during printing. The plinth was modified to enhance stability after it separated during initial print (a 10-hour ordeal). The base is now slightly thinner due to increased depth. You'll need supports for the arms but not for the plinth. Cura estimates a 30-hour print time for Darth Vader at 0.2mm resolution, allowing you to separate the head and print it independently or together with the body. The plinth takes approximately 16 hours to print at the same settings. I used Tinkercad to create this model as always. The mask is based on a design from Thingiverse (1783), while some body parts originated from Thingiverse (1642699).
