Jawa Ion Blaster

thingiverse

This is a simplified model of an iconic Jawa ion blaster as seen in various Star Wars media. It's not entirely faithful to any specific style, but draws heavily from the original version featured in A New Hope. I created this for my 5-year-old daughter, so it was printed at 75% scale for her enjoyment. The exception to scaling down is the panel holding the LEDs; to accommodate this, two versions were designed: led_panel_100 and led_panel_75. Simply print the one you need based on your chosen scale. To assemble the model, the connector pin for the stock and body must be printed twice. It's designed with screws holding the barrel in place - use 4mm screws for 100% scale and 3mm screws for 75%. For lighting, eight 3V blue LEDs were used, connected to a 3V coin-style battery with a trigger switch. Details on the wiring will be posted once I complete my project.
