E-22 Blaster Prop
« on: May 15, 2023, 02:33 AM »
Here's the E-22 from Rogue One and Season 2 of The Mandalorian that I'll be using for my Cosplay.



It's all 3D printed from an Etsy shop and they delivered it to me sooner than I expected. Here's the progression photos of it:

Looks great! :like:

How much sanding did you have to do? I was thinking of ordering my Westar-35s and carbine from that vendor.

Surprisingly very little sanding, I think I was able to have it sanded down in about an hour. I guess I got lucky with this 3D print.

I would review your finish, it may just be me but I still see lines.

Actually I think I see them too now that jethro mentioned it. I think it's just the barrel that might need a bit more sanding.

In this image you can see some print lines through the length of the upper barrel.

Beautiful blaster, but i guess jethroskull and arminius are right, there are quite a few VPL




I circled in red the VPL, and in yellow the segmentation of the barrel that is still visible.

Here some more detailed pic






Just give this blaster some more love, and it will be ready to go in no time   :D

What do you mean by segmentation of the barrel? I'm a little confused with that.

The section of the barrel doesn't appear as a circle but as a polygon.

Oh, that's not segmented, I think that's another print line, i think that's just the angle the picture was taken at

No, it's not cause print layers  (and consequently the visible print lines) are perpendicular to those marks :D
Both are fixed the same way though, filler and sand paper  :cookie:

The weight is fairly light, I would say 5lbs, give or take.
