Interesting design

Very cool! I used it at school when I was in my “Darth vader star wars” phase.

My lord here is your pencil :P

Still a really nice model. But had to scale the connector a bit. Printed in Recyclingfabrik Funkelnde Nacht (Black Glitter) (edited)

Sank the pedestal a bit through the buildplate and used organic supports.

Couldn't for the life of me figure out what the connector was for as it didn't seem to fit anywhere for the head. Modeling superglue and accelerator attached the head just fine. Love it!

Printed it in Prusament PLA Galaxy Black.

One of my all time favorite models! Also works great as a toothbrush holder.

I've printed multiple of these in Black Silk PLA using close-to-default Cura settings for my Ender 3 Pro (.2 mm layer height, 15-20% infill, 50 mm/s, tree supports, no brim/raft) and they've all turned out pretty great so for those scoping this print out, I don't need you need the more precise and time/filament intensive settings outlined in the item description. Definitely make sure to use tree supports though not "normal" as you'll have to place supports everywhere and normal supports are much, much harder to break off underneath Vader's cloak, under his legs, etc. without breaking parts of the print in the process.

Oh and use a dab of superglue to keep the head secure to the body!

I had problems the first time with the leg and arm supports. I switched to strong tree supports and now they did come out fine, but they were hard to remove.
