Han Solo Blastech DL-44 conversion parts

thingiverse

Others have shared similar parts to transform an airsoft Mauser replica into Han Solo's signature blaster. This version builds upon those efforts, created from a cost-effective, Amazon-bought airsoft Mauser replica. Small Update: I intentionally designed the components to prevent the use of supports during printing. As a result, I split the scope mount and vertical rail into two pieces that can be glued together later on. The resulting glue joint is weak and may break under stress. Therefore, an option for a unibody scope mount without any supports is now available. I've not personally printed this part, so its best orientation remains unknown to me; however, printing with supports will likely be necessary in that case. Another Update: Around a month ago, I uploaded a revised version of the front heatsink model, forgetting to credit its original creator, Delphius. For this glaring oversight, my sincerest apologies are extended. The impressive work done by Delphius can be found at: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1245642 Instructions Print the parts in their suggested orientation for optimal results; no supports should be necessary during printing, with one notable exception noted below. For this replica gun build project, note that supports are built into the model of the heat sink and must be carefully removed before attachment. Print two copies of the scope top brackets. Next, attach the scope vertical rail to the mounted scope frame. After attaching these parts, assemble the upper half of the scope using glue. Securely mount the scope adjustment knob by positioning it atop its mount. Use a gentle pressing action with the adjustment knob and attached scope rings alone will be sufficient for holding them in place. To begin attachment, screw or attach the two widest spacers to serve as mounting points onto the replica gun's body frame. Ensure that these mounting knobs are tightly secured using glue. The scope horizontal bar may then be firmly anchored into its corresponding bracket, using M3 screws. Finally, secure the vertical rail onto a dovetail joint within the lower section of the assembled blaster model. A center knurled knob with another screw should securely fasten it into place for you to start enjoying your replica blaster model with Han Solo signature accuracy.
