Speeder Bike (Mandalorian)
Posted on July 7, 2021
Difficulty: 
This speeder bike, as seen in two episodes of the Mandalorian, was one of my first forays into 3D printing. I had access to a filament printer for awhile, and chose this as a reasonable learning project. I consider it a partial success. In-hand, it’s rough. I clearly have a lot to learn.
I used this file by Fine_Engineer. This was scaled for the Star Wars Black Series, but I found it to be a bit too small by virtue of the fact that Grogu would not fit in the bag. I scaled it up 5% and that seemed to work. Even then it still feels small to me.
There are definitely some projects I want to print via filament, but I’m more interested in printing organic shapes (heads!) via resin, so that’s the next frontier.
Created March 2021
Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
