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!
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
I finally got around to watching this and this is just... stunning. I mean seriously, the functionality is mind boggling and you should be every bit as proud as you look. This is next level stuff right here.
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.
Bill, this might be your best maker project yet. I can't tell you how great this is. (I've watched 4 times already just because it's really satisfying.)
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!
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 .
You know I was going to skip this video as I've seen the Bladerunner Blaster done multiple times, but then I started watching and damn.... this was just amazing to watch. The processes you went through are fascinating and you seemed to hit every step without making this a long video. Just excellent work!
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 :/
The no glue and paint approach is quite remarkable, I would love to see another one fully weather and maybe with a few customization by the "user" and see them side by side!
No Paint & no Glue! Amazing. Love This Well Done. I am a weathering junkie but for sure with this one, I think you need a nice round number 3 of No Paint, No Glue, no Weathering LOL so good bill
I am truly amazed by the level of work and passion you put into this project. Seriously, I am struggling to find the words. Such a great build, so much detail. Well done.
Very cool! Have to give it a go and print this one in the future... Love this gun. Thanks for the 3D file, $9 is really accessible, considering all the moving parts!
I think I vote for light weathering, if for no other reason than to make it easier to read Made in Seattle :). Fantastic work - I love watching you and Brit acquire new skills over time - inspirational!!
Holy freaking crap Bill! Finally recovered enough from DCon to watch this and I'm blown away. I'm a little sad I didn't get to see this in person. It's... pretty damn awesome! Also I think it should have a little weathering. Just enough to show it's used & oiled.
"I'm going to sell the 3D file" and then my jaw dropped knowing full well how you never do that. All I can say is a huge thank you and how much fun this will be to make! =D
Want to 3D print your own copy of this prop? Get the 3D files here for less than $10! punishedprops.com/shop/replicant-blaster-3d-print-files/
Keep it clean!!!!!!!
(For my sanity please 😅)
I think you need to gift a kit to adam savage! Would love to see him do a one day build of it!
Tell us when Adam Savage contacts you. ;)
Thanks for sharing the files ! Definitely going to buy them :-)
I think you should make a second one and weather that one and keep this one clean!
Just incredible, man! You can easily see the joy in your face when you talk about the finished piece!
Thanks buddy! This is easily one of my most ambitious builds and finishing it has been incredibly satisfying. =D
@@punishedprops It's SO cool and satisfying to watch too! Really fun vid!!
Adam will be proud
I think so too. =D
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!

Fantastic Job Bill this is by far the best prop you have created!
Awe, thanks so much Steve! =D
I think you should keep this one like factory new and make a second for weathering😃👍
I like how you think. =D

It's videos like these that REALLY make me want a 3d printer.
You didn't even get finished saying that you were offering this for sale before I had completed the purchase. Thank you sir!
Thank *you* so much John! =)

Amazing work there... The fact that there's no glued parts is mind blowing!
Thank you!
Doooood! It's BEAUTIFUL!
Awe, thanks Gordon! =D
Having held this in person I have to say it is a truly a masterwork.
Thanks so much good buddy! =)
Do you mean that you held the actual “Hero” Blaster from the 1982 film Blade Runner!?
DamionChrist No. I’m referring to Bill’s blaster seen here.
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!
Awe, thank you so much!
Couldn't care to much about the gun, but the process of making it! Loved it!
That piece of pew pew magic is amazing! Give yourself a huge pat on the back for the way it all came together!
Awe, thank you!
I finally got around to watching this and this is just... stunning. I mean seriously, the functionality is mind boggling and you should be every bit as proud as you look. This is next level stuff right here.
Thank you so very much! =D
I love the Alec Steele-esque showcase at the end. Great job Bill! It looks unreal.
HAA! You KNOW I was totally copying Alec!
Very cool dude! Look forward to seeing you put one together with Adam ;)
Bill, this is a piece of art, my friend!
Aw thanks so much!
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!
Thanks so much! It feels really good to be in this space!
Holy crap you went HAM on this gun
Bill you bloody legend. That is absolutely incredible!
Thanks!
I think a tiny bit of weathering will make it look even cooler! Thanks for sharing!
Everything about that turned out perfect. Great job Bill.
Thanks!
Amazing work. I love seeing the joy on people's face when they are proud of their work
Yaaay! =)

Outstanding work. I've never had the courage to do anything like this but all of your videos make me desperately want a 3D printer
Thanks!
This turned out SO great Bill!!!
Awe, thank you so much! =D
I’ve never been into Blade Runner but damn, that is an amazing prop! I throughly enjoyed watching this video!
Thanks so much. =)
Your the best RUclips prop maker in my opinion
Awe, thank you! =D

Wow. Just… wow. Very exemplary use of all the materials and techniques.
Thanks!
Outstanding work Bill! We may need to make one for ourselves to have in our Workshop :D
That would be great!
Bill, this is next level!
This is the best prop build I have seen to date. You put a lot of work and passion into this and it looks amazing.
That really means a lot, thank you so much!
please keep it clean and pristine :D
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 :/
The best creation yet. Adam will want one
Thanks! He miiiiight already have one. =)
@@punishedprops ha why am I not surprised!
What a stunning build, I don't even have a printer yet, but I am absolutely going to buy the file. Beautiful.
Why thank you!
Holy Cow! That is brilliant.
The no glue and paint approach is quite remarkable, I would love to see another one fully weather and maybe with a few customization by the "user" and see them side by side!
That's a great idea! =)
Nice job, Bill! It is a beautiful rendition of a classic piece of movie culture. Really want to build one as well!
Thank you!
This is some extremely high quality prop making, just beautiful.
Thanks!
Fabulous build. Amazing to not use paint or glue, your design process is brilliant.
Thanks!
No Paint & no Glue! Amazing. Love This Well Done. I am a weathering junkie but for sure with this one, I think you need a nice round number 3 of No Paint, No Glue, no Weathering LOL so good bill
Thanks! =)
Wow holy cow I did not know that they had those kinds of resins that looked so much like metal.
Pretty cool, right?!
Bill Sounds sooo cool!
Aw thanks!
This is the best thing you have done to date.
Thank you so much!
I am truly amazed by the level of work and passion you put into this project. Seriously, I am struggling to find the words. Such a great build, so much detail. Well done.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I love that you cold casted this, I always wondered why so many people paint instead of cold casting.
Wellllll cold casting makes the molding and casting MUCH more challenging and time consuming. It is totally worth it though.
This looks great, Bill!
Magnificent evolution work on the iconic design and even more magnificent work in making the prop...superb work.
Thanks you so much!
damn.. very impressive that you know how to go about making something like this.., i love Blade Runner., that came out very well done
Beautifully presented!!!!
Great job! the files and parts list are deffinately worth more than.
Very nice I love the no paint and working parts. You did an amazing job on this!!
Thanks!
Very cool! Have to give it a go and print this one in the future... Love this gun. Thanks for the 3D file, $9 is really accessible, considering all the moving parts!
You're so welcome!
Props to you - punished props to you.
The mad lad actually did it...again...
I'm blown away by this build Bill. Absolutely amazing and one of my favorite prop videos to date. Weather it up!
Awe, thank you!
The most impressive part of this build was the way you git the firing mech to work, that was extremly impressive
Thanks so much! That was kind of tricky.
Just bought the files so i can print my own can,t wait awesome job thanks Bill.
Fantastic! =D
it turned out BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you!
Outstanding job Bill! Keep up the great work
Thank you!
Insanely cool! My hats off to you sir.
Thanks bill for helping me figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life
yeah T0T
Hahahaa! Have FUNNN! =D
Great job Bill! This is great!
Wow, what an incredible build Bill - very impressive!
Awe, thanks so much Jordan! =)
I think I vote for light weathering, if for no other reason than to make it easier to read Made in Seattle :). Fantastic work - I love watching you and Brit acquire new skills over time - inspirational!!
Thanks for the kind words. =)
You are awesome at moldmaking. Nice job Bill, the gun looks great.
Thank you so much!
YESSSSS! Can't wait to get my 3D printer now lol Awesome job Chinbeard!
That is amazing man! Thank you for always sharing with us Bill! My vote goes towards dirtying up the blaster. Looks amazing!
You're SO welcome!
Thats awesome Bill. Beautiful work!
Thanks!
Holy freaking crap Bill! Finally recovered enough from DCon to watch this and I'm blown away. I'm a little sad I didn't get to see this in person. It's... pretty damn awesome! Also I think it should have a little weathering. Just enough to show it's used & oiled.
Thanks so much Jasper! =D
Incredible level of skill and dedication. Just beautiful. Make another one and weather it!
Thank you!
Incredible project Bill! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Colin! =D
Happy you decided to release STL files to print! I understand why you don’t typically. But man, love this!
I'm excited to see how people finish their prints! =D
holy crap, so good to watch the whole thing, you have outdone it! great job!
Thank you!
Absolutely incredible!
Amazing work!
Thank you!
Oh my lord that looks beautiful
Why thank you!
Seriously guys your props are amazing. Keep being awesome.
Thank you!
this is really some excellent work you did! I think a former myth buster will go nuts about that ;)
Thanks so much! I think you may be correct. =)
Dude, what an amazing job. Far out man, great work.
Oh, I'll have to give this a go.
Have fun!
This was so beautiful and Im absolutely jealous.
You do AWESOME work, Bill!! Thanks for doing this.
Glad I found you.
You're welcome!
BEAUTIFUL !
I love you guys! Y'all always knock it out of the park! Also, I'd like to see a little weathering on that beautiful blaster.
Why thank you!
Nice piece of work. The digital modeling and behind the scenes planning must have been quite time consuming. Great job.
Thanks! It was a lot of work, but it was incredibly satisfying.
Awesome build Bill, well done!
Thanks!
"I'm going to sell the 3D file" and then my jaw dropped knowing full well how you never do that. All I can say is a huge thank you and how much fun this will be to make! =D
You're welcome! Have fun. =)
Incredible Bill, good job. Pity I don't have so advanced shop as you do
Thanks! It's taken me ~10 years to get my shop to this level. Ya gotta start somewhere. =)
This is absolutely brilliant Bill!! Such an amazing job!
Thank you!
Stunning work all around man
Thanks very much!
