Hoth Macro Binoculars Prop from Empire Strikes Back 3D print model

Here are the 3D print files (STL) for a Hoth Macro Binoculars Prop from Empire Strikes Back. These STL files are designed for personal use only, so they cannot be sold or distributed. Inside the zip file are all the necessary files to print this model on your own printer. The scale of these files is as close to the original design as possible, which included some adjustments to make parts fit correctly in place. This resulted in corners being shaved off the eyepieces - a deliberate decision made for the final product. To bring this prop to life, you can print the three buttons in translucent plastic and then place LEDs behind them for an extra special effect. The best results come from printing the body of this model in silver base plastic, as it makes weathering much easier by allowing you to paint in white then scratch off the paint to match the original movie prop. Notice that the front cover can be flipped over in either direction - a detail noticed after examining different versions of the prop. In either case, it's completely reversible, depending on your preference. I prefer to print this model using PETG at 0.2mm layer height for the body and 0.15 for detailed areas. This approach yields great results every time.
