hello, i'm a boy scout and my troop is going to a star wars themed event and i need to make some neckerchief slides and i have a 3d printer, i would really appreciate if you would upload a file format that i can modified (igs, step)for this event. thank you vary much i love the model and can draw nearly as well

Thanks for optimizing. Your version does not show the non manifold edges anymore. There are still some non manifold vertices. It could be the reason why it's not rendered by OpenSCAD.

I think that maybe its because its an All Rights Reserved License.

Instructions

I downloaded the cleaned Darth Vader file from arhimed and checked it in netfabb Studio Professional. The file actually contained 486 triangles with invalid orientation. I fixed this in netfabb Studio Professional with the following commands

1. remove self intersections (under actions in the repair menu)
2. automatic repair (default repair)
3. select shell (select main shell)
4. toggle selection and press delete to remove the other additional shell
5. status update show one shell, no holes and no invalid orientation.

The select shell/toggle selection/delete sequence obviously run some risk of deleting stuff you actually want in the file but in this case I do not think that happened.

This file has been used in several successful builds in the RepRap machine from Bits From Bytes.

I suspect that is because his License is "None (All Rights Reserved).

How he claims that when this is a derivative work and WHY it wasn't created as a derivative I have no idea... *DONT_KNOW*

Here's mine. (There's no "I Made One!" button)

Its weird, because in some things, the "I made one" button appears in the top right hand corner.

Thank you. there was no skill on my part, it was all the MakerBot (batch 10 I think).

I goofed in reporting this under thing 1783, the file I used was darthVader_cleaned.stl not darthVader_cleaned_fixed.stl. apparently I should have reported under arhimed's thing 1636.

wow Ulf ... damn great result you've had there...I wonder how did you got that neat result with so much detail ... 8-)

Thank you this was cool. Made this as the first part on my MakerBot. :)

Nice. I've gotten weird results printing Darth Vader with one of the first models out there! Thanks.

P.s. You can submit it as a derivative next time. This way if people stumble into the 'old' version they will see your derivative pop up.
