Parts needed are:
Access to a 3D printer.
Corn starch
Clear silicone caulk
Vaseline

Step 1: Download and 3D Print the Mold.

Dowload the file from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:563586 and print it.

Step 2: Make Your Homemade Sugru.

I used a 49-49% volume mixture of corn starch and clear silicone caulk
and added some water, lets say 2% at the end.
You can follow the steps in the https://m.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-Your-Own-Sugru-Substitute/ instructable.

Step 3: Final Step

Take some vaseline and apply to the inside of the mold.
Shape the homemade sugru into a ball slightly bigger then the mold, put it in and leave the mold closed under pressure for two hours. After the time has passed take the ball out and leave it somewhere to cure for a few more hours. And thats it, you now own a DIYS Deathstar.
