Here is my Han Solo DL-44 Hoth version from The Empire Strikes Back. It’s not a 100% dead on replica, but I got as close as my skills could get me. This was my first attempt at making a prop, and my first real dive into using Fusion 360. Also my first post to Thingiverse, so please be gentle.
I searched around at different places getting measurements from sites like the RPF, and Google Image Searches to come up with these prints.
Again I know it’s not 100% accurate, but I think it’s servicable enough to pass as a decent DL-44. It’s all built on a Denix Mauser replica pistol. I didn’t include the small motor/coil greeblies here, since I wound up having to get mine from Shapeways.
Enjoy, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
