The DL-44 was a powerful, highly modifiable and accurate blaster pistol. It packed a heavy punch compared to other pistols without losing accuracy, which made it a prime choice among many groups and individuals, ranging from smugglersand bounty hunters to military and the Rebellion.
Aside from being a powerful and reliable sidearm, the weapon had other attractive features such as a vibration system built into the handgrip that pulsed gently to alert the user that the weapon had only five shots left, and the ability to charge a bolt twice as powerful into a capacitor without damaging the sidearm. Like most handguns, its gear typically included a motion-sensitive scope and galven circuitry that allowed the pistol to deal more damage with a normal energy drain and fire rate.
The DL-44's design is based on the German Mauser C96 pistol. This famous gun was wielded by both its German creators and the Ottoman Empire during World War I, and wound up in the hands of such notable figures as T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) and Winston Churchill. The C96 pistol also saw service among various revolutionary movements throughout the world following the First World War. The original DL-44s of the classic trilogy were created from Mausers with simple muzzle and grip accessories, as well as a rifle scope mounted on top.
Each section should fit together nicely, print the pistol grip facing upright, the lower section facing upright, the top section lying horizontal on the print bed and the two muzzles facing upright. If you want to achieve a full scale replica be prepared for a long print total print time can be over 20 hours depending on scale. Print with a medium to high infill for added strength. Print at 200 microns. You can finish the model using a can of black spray paint with silver guilding wax.
