[@imaada9505]

Keep it clean!!!!!!! (For my sanity please 😅)

[@jokerinthepack1986]

I think you need to gift a kit to adam savage! Would love to see him do a one day build of it!

[@rochellelee4002]

Tell us when Adam Savage contacts you. ;)

[@Yakeru35]

Thanks for sharing the files ! Definitely going to buy them :-)

[@BravoNinerOne]

I think you should make a second one and weather that one and keep this one clean!

[@SuicideNeil]

If you listen carefully, you can hear Adam Savage getting... excited. ;) I imagine he will want to borrow those molds fairly soon though- we know him too well.

[@punishedprops]

Hey *miiiiiight* have already got his hands on a set of castings. =)

[@nutrox84]

Yeah hes probably vibrating as we speak! :D

[@jonathan__g]

As soon as I saw that he was casting these I instantly thought that he would want them too.

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

I wouldn't be surprised if Bill had already given Adam one.

[@jacobp339]

Soooooo jealous, I would kill for a set of castings. Or pay... or both if nevessary.

[@cmdrdarklight]

I think you should keep this one like factory new and make a second for weathering😃👍

[@punishedprops]

I like how you think. =D

[@AndrewHasara]

I am going to second this. I like making most of my props without weathering, because I want them to look like they are for display. That said, there are times when the weathered and worn look makes it feel more authentic.

[@DominusFeles]

My thought too 😃

[@JesseCohen]

You have the first one "fresh off the line" as it were. Take a look at some images of pistols in a similar state, and apply that light touch that would represent test firing and light oiling that most factories use prior to shipping a piece out. Then, with a second casting, go for the "in service" look of a good 5-10 years of wear and tear. A bit of friction wear on moving parts will really pop with that thin metallic casting job worn back, and then highlighted with darker metallic tones and just a touch of oxidation. Superb work man, makes me wish 3D printing was in my realm of ability, financially or otherwise. There's a few lightsabers I'd like to iterate in similar fashion.

[@MrSpacepauls]

I agree, do a second weathered and keep this factory new. Would also be cool to see some custom package for the gun with a security lock to get into it and a beginner handbook or maybe a certificate of ownership... All in the style of the blade runner universe of course.

[@ToastedFanArt]

Adam will be proud

[@punishedprops]

I think so too. =D

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Just incredible, man! You can easily see the joy in your face when you talk about the finished piece!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks buddy! This is easily one of my most ambitious builds and finishing it has been incredibly satisfying. =D

[@trovearts9509]

@@punishedprops It's SO cool and satisfying to watch too! Really fun vid!!

[@Miniac]

My God...the amount of work that went into that....hundreds of hours. Absolutely top job. I literally can't think of enough nice things to say. Legendary!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much!

[@JSHayward3]

Wow. Ok. I can make some pretty neat stuff but this is one of the first builds where I realize...I will never be as good as Bill. Hahaha. SO many skills!

[@johnmoore9590]

You didn't even get finished saying that you were offering this for sale before I had completed the purchase. Thank you sir!

[@punishedprops]

Thank *you* so much John! =)

[@gabrieleVFX]

How wonderful ... If only I had a 3D printer

[@aaronbanquer9712]

I say leave it unweathered. 99% of all props made today are all weathered, and that’s just to hide flaws and make it more realistic. This prop looks real enough without weathering and is almost flawless! Keep it pristine!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

WOOOOO that was exciting, and also after going through a very small part of this... EVERYONE, this was a HUGE amount of work and it turned out awesome. Hopefully this does well for you my friend!

[@punishedprops]

Awe, thank you so much!

[@tasmanianerd2558]

That piece of pew pew magic is amazing! Give yourself a huge pat on the back for the way it all came together!

[@punishedprops]

Awe, thank you!

[@Ramjetjetpilot]

You've done a man's job, sir... The .stl files you have produced are superb. The CR10 printer has been working overtime on this prop. It is a beautiful kit.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much!

[@guinhill]

Talking about printing your own. Should I print in ABS ( to account for shrink ) or is PLA also acceptable. That depends on the tollerances. And since I had trouble printing the 3DKitbash stuff in non ABS materials ( simply doesn't fit any more ) , I'd rather ask now, then Cry after hours of printing.

[@Ramjetjetpilot]

@@guinhill I used PLA and I am very happy with the fit. Like in any model kit, there is going to be some sanding and Dremel work. It is the nature of 3D printing as opposed to a injection molded kit.

[@w0mblemania]

Very nice work Bill. The attention to detail is amazing. I would suggest a _very_ light amount of weathering -- almost invisible -- mostly as dark "grease" in the inner workings. Just something to make the parts look as though they've seen a bit of action.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much!

[@JasonPatz]

I was going to say the exact thing. After all this work, I wouldn't make it too dramatic. Maybe take a look at some real pistols that have been in use for a few years. Maybe the Tested video showing the original prop.

[@Kajerman]

I don't even know what to say. This is beyond pro level. Not just making it look fantastic but to have the mechanisms work... wow. Now all I need is a 3D and laser printer :/

[@nerdyraptor]

The mad lad actually did it...again...

[@jedizero2]

I love the Alec Steele-esque showcase at the end. Great job Bill! It looks unreal.

[@punishedprops]

HAA! You KNOW I was totally copying Alec!

[@denniscalderone7913]

Just got my first 3D printer (Creality Ender 3) up and running, and the right barrel cover is now printing, as my first ever 3D print. Like many have said, keep it new in a mfg. package display and a used version with accompanying holster. I do have to say I am impressed Bill, keep up the good work. Looking forward to more videos, and thanks for selling the files.

[@punishedprops]

Super cool! Have fun. =D

[@CutTransformGlue]

Amazing work there... The fact that there's no glued parts is mind blowing!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@charmofmaking3973]

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH!!! I have wanted to pay you a hefty sum for pretty much every stl file of everything you have ever made. I am now in the process of printing all these parts on my Anycubic Mono X in the actual colors so I will also not have to paint it. I'll let you know how it comes out. :) I'm sure to make two. One factory fresh and one that has seen some action. THANK YOU for sharing your journey for all these years!

[@punishedprops]

That's awesome! Have fun with the build!

[@Propsbyben]

Bill you bloody legend. That is absolutely incredible!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@JD-be7ys]

Bill, this is a piece of art, my friend!

[@punishedprops]

Aw thanks so much!

[@DominusFeles]

Couldn't care to much about the gun, but the process of making it! Loved it!

[@halbertwalston]

Dude! Above and beyond on this project. I started watching, thinking, "Meh, let's see what he did differently." Totally impressed with how you incorporated the lessons learned from all of the previous variations, as well as introducing those very fine extra touches. And for once (and only once) - holy hell, don't weather it.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much!

[@jsweizston5410]

Damn.. aced it Bill. I hope one day to have all of the workshop space and materials like yourself because that is a beautiful piece!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much! It feels really good to be in this space!

[@ThumpertTheFascistCottontail]

Everything about that turned out perfect. Great job Bill.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@MaaveMaave]

Holy crap you went HAM on this gun

[@Miguel_morales99]

The most impressive part of this build was the way you git the firing mech to work, that was extremly impressive

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much! That was kind of tricky.

[@bcostell69]

Stunning work bill, a real culmination of your experience coming through in one piece . I think you should keep that as it is and cast another one with the metal parts rust colour for chipping later , or with iron for rust treatments . Let’s image they haven’t made rust proof guns in the future . Very generous to share your files, thank you .

[@punishedprops]

You're most welcome. =)

[@bigbrassballs]

There is scant few times I comment on a video, but this is one of the few that I just have to say: I love this. I love this to death, to pieces and I'm tickled pink every single time I watch it even if I've watched it enough times to basically memorize it. A while ago there were STL files of a pistol from Warframe that my friend from Texas printed, and he sent them to me. (still have to pay him...) The reason I bring this up is because there's nothing more in this world that I want more (other than like, happiness of course) than this build. The only problem is: not only do I not have a 3D printer, not only do I not have the equipment to make it, I don't have the funds to pay to even attempt it... *sigh* the life of a broke college kid. Some day. Someday I'll be able to have a Blade runner Blaster like this...

[@bigbrassballs]

I would also like to add that I've watched this so many times because of just how clean it ends up being. It's all so smooth and wonderful and amazing and I love it.

[@punishedprops]

Thank you so much. =)

[@gordontarpley]

Doooood! It's BEAUTIFUL!

[@punishedprops]

Awe, thanks Gordon! =D

[@bsrobinson]

I think a tiny bit of weathering will make it look even cooler! Thanks for sharing!

[@coregeek]

Having held this in person I have to say it is a truly a masterwork.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much good buddy! =)

[@damionchrist]

Do you mean that you held the actual “Hero” Blaster from the 1982 film Blade Runner!?

[@coregeek]

DamionChrist No. I’m referring to Bill’s blaster seen here.

[@DougPalumbo]

I’ve never been into Blade Runner but damn, that is an amazing prop! I throughly enjoyed watching this video!

Awe, thank you! =D

[@gronith]

I love that you cold casted this, I always wondered why so many people paint instead of cold casting.

[@punishedprops]

Wellllll cold casting makes the molding and casting MUCH more challenging and time consuming. It is totally worth it though.

[@joshfletcher6178]

Bill, this is next level!

[@LordGarth6]

please keep it clean and pristine :D

[@andybogart2503]
