3d Printed Razor Crest: With Full Interior

Hello there! This is my take on the Razor Crest from the Mandalorian. If you don't know what that is, the Mandalorian is a Star Wars show that is streaming on Disney+. And the main character, Din Djarin (also known as the Mandalorian) uses the razor crest as his ship. This 3d model has a fully decked out interior, which includes the cockpit, and interior details. This is my first Instructable, so I will try to explain the process as specific as I can. This took a lot of effort, and I hope you enjoy!

Files will come in a few days!

Supplies

The only supplies you will need for this (if you decide to design one of your own), is a electronic device (preferably a computer), some knowledge in using 3d design, and some sort of 3d design software (I used a mix of Fusion 36 and Tinkercad, and I reccomend both!)

Step 1: The Inspiration

So, there was really no direct inspiration for actually making this model. I have really enjoyed watching the Mandalorian and how it connects the original trilogy and the sequels together. Also, I was looking for razor crest models to buy, and I couldn't find any that were in a good price range. The only things I saw was the Haslabs Razor Crest, which was $350 and a Gambody Razor Crest with stl files. At this point, I thought it would be much simpler to make my own model, which I then started to work on. And that's how I got the inspiration to start this project.

Step 2: Getting Good Reference Photos

This was sort of tricky. If you look at the show, it's hard to see full reference material to base your model on. I did end up looking at some scenes specifically to find interior details and other things that I never noticed. But, my main reference material was a fan-design on what the interior of the Razor Crest actually looks like. It had certain sections that were split up, so it was easy to find the details. And that was my reference material for this model. And it really helped me out, and will help you too.

Step 3: Designing the Razor Crest

This was probably the most complicated part of this process. Building the whole ship. It has so many details, and I decided it would be hard to do in Tinkercad, so I chose to design it using Fusion 360. It took a while, but after working on it for almost a whole week, I decided it was done. I designed it to not be hollow, so if you want to print it without interior, you can. Also, I desided to split the ship in half, so it would help me with the process of ollowing it out later on. I wish I could show the process of designing it, but I'm fairly new to Fusion 360, so I don't really know how to show that. Anyways, I wanted to go farther and make it with a full interior, so I downloaded it from Fusion, and uploaded it on Tinkercad.

Step 4: The Interior

This part is the most important and unique part of this model; the interior. It was a fun process seeing all the small details in this ship, and recreating it. I tried to include the most important details, such the cockpit, cargo space, resting area, and more. It was a hard process though. I couldn't get it to 100% accurate, but I am happy with the results. The next few steps will explain how I designed certain areas of the ship

Step 5: The Cockpit Details

Ins ide the cokpit, I designed it to have the control panels and the seating. The original ship has 3 seats, so it took some time to design that. The two back seats were simple, just some rounded cubes which were streached and grouped all together. The front main seat, or the drivers seat, was harder to design. Its a different type of seat, but I still managed to make it in the end. The drivers seat also has black accents, so I added that behind the seat. Overall, I think the seating looks pretty good. Then, I started working on the control panel. This was pretty hard, and I couldn't get to screen accuracy. I chose to go with a more simple control panel, and duplicated over and over again until I liked how it looked. Overall, I think the cockpit turned out fine, and that it adds a lot of detail to the model.

Step 6: The Cargo Details

This is the main part, at least I think, of the interior of this model. The cargo bay is where almost everything is, and it has the most details. In this part, the model has the carbonite-freezing chamber, creatures in carbonite, and extra details. When I was making this a download able file, I accidently forgot one thing, which was the cargo. I will add that to the final file. These sections were made using mostly rectangular prisms. I found this file for a backpack on TinkerCad, and I decided to use it to add details that were really random. I love how the carbonite turned out. You might not be able to see this in the photos above, but all three of the carbonites have a mithrol on it, which is a easter egg back to episode 1 (if you know what I'm talking about!) I think his portion of the model turned out great, and added a lot of detail.

Step 7: The Rest Area & Vac Tube

This part was really fun to design. I kept looking back at the episodes for refernce to try to get as close as possible. On the left, you will see a vac tube, which is basically a toilet. I cus tom made this in Fusion 360, because I felt it would be too hard to model in Tinkercad. I also am going to add more detail in the back of it, so it looks more detailed. On the right, we have the place where Mando and Baby Yoda (aka Grogu!) would rest/sleep. On this specific part of the ship, I couldn't find any good refernce photos, so I also used the show and found specific parts where it showed good details of the sleeping area. This includes Mando's bed, a hammock looking thing for Baby Yoda, and a green thing on the side. The bed was fairly simple. It was made using rectangular prisms stacked out top of one another. If you look at the bed, it has these triangular things on the side, so I made sure to add that. I found the hammock on Tinkercad, and copied and pasted it on my model. It doesn't look perfectly accurate, but it does the job. The green locker was also made using rectangular prisms, and with some notches in between each one. This part turned out good, and was kind of interesting seeing a vac tube for the first time in Star Wars :)

Step 8: The Ladder Details

This section includes the n ladder, and the frame. The ladder is pretty straight forward. Its just a bunch of cylinders that are evenly spaced out, and two long ones that make the pole. Its was really easy to make this, and it adds detail. The second part was the frame. The frame was made using come rectangular prisms and some wedges. I angled the wedges slightly, so it would be more accurate to the real ship. Overall, this wa sons of the easiest parts of making this model, and I liked how it turned out.

Step 9: The Floor and Door Details

The floor is really straight forward. Its just a rectangular prism that was streached to size. You might be wondering why there is a random hole in the floor. The whole is where the ladder from the "first floor" goes through. There, it reaches the "second floor" and that's where Mando would go to for piloting the ship. It leads to the door whcih leads to the cockpit. The door is somewhat unique, and has three lights at the top of some sort of trapezoid shape, and then theres the door. The door is self explanatory. The trapezoid was made using 2 wedges and a rectangluar prism. The lights were made using cylinders. Then, I grouped it all together. I use this door again on the top floor. I can't show that, because it's hard to reach that area on the model. This was also a fairly simple step.

Step 10: Optional Display Stand

This is totally optional. This is meant for if you want to display this model in a fancy way, you might want to make one of these. And it's not as hard as it looks. I started off using a stretched out cylinder, which was used as the base. If you want to do this the easy, way, you could find your own mandalorian helmet and IG-11 head from websites like Thingiverse, and put it in your stand. But, I decided to just model them in Fusion 360, and then add it to my stand. I also made the mithosaur skull logo by myself, and it wasn't so hard. I then added shapes such as wedges to make the part where the ship would actually connect to the stand. I then added a cylinder, which was used to hold the Razor Crest in place. I put it at a slight angle so that it made the ship fly at a slight angle, which made it look even better. And I was finally done!

Step 11: The Fun Part!

Its time for the best part. Getting the model 3d printed! I actually don't own my own personal 3d printer, but my friend bought one, and I thought this would be a good opportunity to print it. He had to scale it down relatively small, so that it would fit.

Rest will be coming soon. (Need my friend to 3d print it!)

Step 12: It's Finished!

It's finally complete! I hope you enjoyed seeing the process of designing this model and hope you will enjoy this and maybe 3d print it yourself. I had lots of fun taking time to design this, and took a lot of work. The best part about Star Wars is that it has some many things you can model, and I look forward to designing more ships. Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. Also, for the main photos (on this step and the first one), I used Paint 3D for the first time. Please let me know your opinions on this, and if I should keep doing pictures like this. I hope this will inspire you to maybe 3d design something of your own!

Files will come in a few days!
