Star Wars Darth Vader Brick MegaFigure (5:1 Scale)

This is a set of pieces that can be used to recreate a Darth Vader figure at 500% scale.   This figure was introduced as part of the TIE Fighter and Y-wing set published in 1999 and appeared in 4 more sets between 2000 - 2003. There have been many variations of the Darth Vader figure released over the years but this version was the first.

All of the the stl files needed to create this have been included in the "stl files" folder below.

For those with Bambu printers, there are Bambu project files located in the “Bambu Projects” folder to simplify things even further.  These files contain the parts in an ideal orientation for printing.  Parts that need painting have been painted in these files as well.  Note that you will need BambuStudio to open or work with these.

This minifig was remixed from the Brick Megafigure published by Julia Ebert.  The changes made to the original design are:

• All parts were scaled down 50% to work with other models we've published at a 5:1 scale from original parts
• A modified torso which includes cavities to hold the torso sticker parts provided with this design (the sticker parts will need to be glued in place at these locations).
• The waist parts were modified slightly to make them easier to assemble.
• At 50% scale, the pins were difficult to work with (and really not needed) so these were removed from the print list (Glue was still used to attach the connectors to their respective parts)
• Modified the hands to print with their connectors attached (This will require supports but eliminates the need to glue these pieces).

The basic instructions for assembling the figure can be found in Julia's post. This is a fantastic model that's easy to print and assemble.  Special thanks to Julia for sharing this work!

All the accessory parts were taken from thal72's Printables profile and scaled to 500%. He has a massive library of brick parts available at this location.  If you wish to do any additional customization to this mini-figure this is a fantastic resource to find additional parts.  Special thanks to him as well for sharing this work!

The Light saber used in this make was created by Printmajstr and was scaled to work with the rest of this set.  Thanks also to Printnajstr for sharing this work!

NOTE:  You can see in some of the photos that the light saber was illuminated.  This was done through the use of a battery operated LED.  These can be found on Amazon here. Once the saber is printed, these drop right in to the base and the blade fits nicely around them.

If you decide to print this, we'd love to see it.  Please post pics of your makes, and please consider liking this design by clicking the "like" link above.

Happy Building!!
