Darth Vader

This Darth Vader figure is easy to print, requiring no supports, MMU/AMS, or glue and is a blast to assemble! It functions the same as my other BIG BRICK models, which are all derived from my base model: Generic Figure.

Printing Instructions:

• STLs already in suggested printing orientation
• No supports needed
• I would always recommend using a brim if you're not certain about the bed adhesion of any of these parts. In particular, the hands and arms can cause issues if there is poor adhesion.

Assembly Instructions:

Each of my BIG BRICK models are built from the same base model and the majority of the assembly is the same for each of them. You can find detailed assembly instructions for my models on that base model's designer post here: Generic Figure. You can find all other instructions relating to this model specifically below. Enjoy!

Torso: All of the torso inserts simply press-fit into the torso in their respective places. They are all tapered, so make sure you insert them in smaller side first.

Lightsaber: Simply screw the blade into the handle! Some people have mentioned breaking the blade while doing this if the threads are tight - just be careful and go slow if you're concerned.

Cape: If you have a big enough bed, you can print the full cape template, or you can print the half version. If you print the half version, just make sure when cutting it out of whatever material you choose, you mirror the template along the straight line down the middle.
