I love Blade Runner and there's a huge community around the blasters; especially Deckard's and K's.
I wanted to challenge myself in recreating a prop from references alone.
Since there are already so many designs of Deckard's and K's out there I picked Luv's blaster which has almost no screen time.

Modeled in: Fusion 360 (Personal - Not For Commercial Use)

Scale assumptions
Caliber: .45 ACP
Barrel inner diameter: 11.4681mm (.4515in)
Screw-head in metal cover: 4.5mm diameter
Grip Lines (black): 6mm wide

Approximate Dimensions
233mm x 155mm x 34mm

This was my first time using Fusion 360 and modeling a complex object with parts that have to fit together.

Be warned: The parts are designed with 0 tolerances, so be prepared for a lot of sanding.
But: I've included the Fusion 360 file, so everyone is welcome to improve on the design, or modify it to make it more accurate to the original prop.

I have also included a parts list document which also contains the colors I used to paint the final replica.

Notes:

Sliced in Cura. Cura profile used for printing is attached to design. Some parts were challenging to print on my setup due to either having small details or requiring support in areas where it will be hard to remove cleanly. **Paintjob** Vallejo acrylics + Airbrush 04-m3-smaller.stl, 07-m14-left-smaller.stl, 07-m14-right-smaller.stl can be used instead of the regular parts. These are tiny screw head thingies and are hard to sand, making the original files hard to put in place once the model is painted.
