Luv's Blaster (Blade Runner 2049)

thingiverse

I'm a huge fan of Blade Runner and the massive community surrounding the iconic blasters, especially Deckard's and K's. To push myself creatively, I decided to tackle the challenge of recreating a prop from scratch using references alone. Given that there are already countless designs of Deckard's and K's out there, I opted for Luv's blaster, which received relatively little screen time. I chose this underrepresented prop to breathe new life into it. Designed in Fusion 360 (Personal), my model was based on the following assumptions: Caliber: .45 ACP Barrel inner diameter: 11.4681mm (.4515in) Screw-head in metal cover: 4.5mm diameter Grip Lines (black): 6mm wide The approximate dimensions of the blaster are 233mm x 155mm x 34mm. As a first-time user of Fusion 360, I faced the challenge of modeling a complex object with intricate parts that had to fit together seamlessly. **Important Note:** The parts were designed with zero tolerance in mind, so be prepared for extensive sanding to achieve a smooth finish. However, I've included the original Fusion 360 file, inviting everyone to improve or modify the design to make it even more accurate to the iconic prop from Blade Runner 2049. For those interested in creating their own replica, I've also provided a parts list document with the colors used for painting the final piece.
