Loving this 3d print you started. I just finished up a print of the one on Thingiverse. I can print, but I cannot model and would love to get something more on the approvable side.
If you ever make the files available for download or purchase I would love to know and print one.
Thanks

Force Pike from Star Wars: The Blueprints
Re: Force Pike from Star Wars: The Blueprints
Similarto the last bit, if you end up distributing the models for this pike I'd definitely be interested!

Re: Force Pike from Star Wars: The Blueprints
Hi all, just checked back here as I was informed that nobody is currently making pikes and I guess my link to the runs I did of these in metal doesn't exist anymore...
I do still have a few from my second run left on my Proplicator Etsy store, not sure what the policy is for sharing shop links here tho. I also sell a 'con-safe' hard rubber cast accurate tip.
Quick summary of progress that isn't posted in this thread; I did manage to get hold of a lot of really good reference photos of the 4 pikes in the lucasfilm archives (a condition of getting them was that I am unfortunately not allowed to post or share them at all) which were used to greatly improve the accuracy of the design of the 3d printed one I posted here.
If people do end up wanting them and I run out, I could always do a third run if we have the numbers. I am also looking into making a cast resin (or maybe hard rubber, like the tips I currently sell?) version, which would presumably be cheaper and lighter than my current full metal ones. The real props were resin, cast from a wooden master, and fishing poles, so I guess a resin version would be more materially accurate..
