We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A scaled model of the Death Star from the Star Wars universe, generated from a custom topographical map projected onto a sphere. The surface detail follows the distinctive trench and panel texture of the fictional battle station. It is intended as a collector display piece or scale reference model. Grey PLA prints the fine surface relief accurately and is the conventional material for display models of this type.

Original maker's notes

By tato_713 on Thingiverse · CC-BY-SA

This was made with MATLAB R2016a in a similar way that of other astronomical bodies, plotting a topographical map on a spherical projection. I could not find a good, detailed and free topographical map of the Death Star, so I created my own using Paint.net, MATLAB and some texture maps. It is scaled taken the max size of 160 km in diameter. However, there is not consensus on its real (pretended) size. Some details may be wrong since I didn't watch any Star Wars movies.
The file's names explained: name_1_x_10_y.stl is 1 : x * 10y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:60000000 or one in 60 million.

Printing Death Star scaled one in two million

For Death Star scaled one in two million we would normally reach for PLA — it is the easy, economical default and suits the majority of models. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
