DL-44 Heavy Blaster

Post by Floki »

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
-Han Solo: Star Wars A New Hope

The DL-44 was a type of heavy blaster pistol produced by BlasTech Industries that was used during the years of the Galactic Republic and the Age of the Empire. It was considered one of the most powerful blaster pistols in the galaxy, delivering massive damage at close range. However, it overheated quickly. There existed a carbine variation of this blaster including an extended barrel with the existing flash-suppressor and an attachable stock. This was used by Tobias Beckett in the trenches of Mimban before he deconstructed his DL-44 and gave it to Han Solo.

This is my first big project using my new Ender 3 Max FDM printer. The files where made by PortedtoReality and can be found free on Thingiverse

The parts all printed out. The white ones was made on the Ender 3 Max and the grey on the Elegoo Mars

Thank you all very much!

Bruce Kari and Norman,thank you for your support

Tom I have plans of building chewys blaster one day

Dragline I hope you get settled soon, with your amazing painting abilities I can only imagine the wonderful figures you will be producing.

As a teaser, I'm currently printing out parts for a phase pulse rifle. This is the way.

I saw the original many times in summer of ‘77. Have a copy of it on disc. Han smoked Greedo. No return fire. He was a stone cold killer right there.
