Han Solo's Blaster
June 11th, 2021
Our colleague Paul (the one who in logistics handles all your orders and has printed the T-Rex and Akira bike before) knew we were working on PETG Semi-Matte Black and had a great idea: print Han Solo's Blaster (DL-44). Using the design by theFPVgeek he printed the main body on the Prusa Mk3. The entire print took about 40 hours to complete.

About PETG Semi-Matte Black
As our most recent material release PETG Semi-Matte Black we took our PETG to the next level. By reducing the glossiness of the material we made it possible to create high quality finish with PETG printed parts. Parts no longer look like high gloss cheap plastic, but have a high quality matte finish.
Like our regular PETG our latest filament is easy to print and no fibers or fillers have been used to obtain the semi-matte effect. Compared to the most widely used material in 3D printing, PLA, PETG has a higher toughness and higher temperature resistance.
Other materials used where our Color on Demand RAL 8001 Ochre Brown for the handle, PLA/PHA Shining Silver and a tiny bit of PLA/PHA Dutch Orange to indicate it's a prop (making Greedo breath a sigh of relief).
