Well, might as well get an interest thread started.
This is the original trilogy (OT) split plug replica run. I originally thought I would just draw the Hirschman (HR) plug and change the outside to reflect the different exterior of the OT plug. I realized pretty quickly the shape and some interior details were different. As such, the HR model was modified to reflect these differences so they are more accurate to the OT plugs.
I should also clarify this is not a 3D print. These are made using a special modling process with material used to mimic the material of the original plug and its ability to be flexible at the joint. I think this is as close to the original plug as we will get. (Note: I did not have an OT plug in hand to model, although I believe there are people in the community that apparently have these. If you would like to help the project and would be willing to share some details prior to the final run, please reach out to me. Many thanks in advance.)
For reference, the OT plugs were used on the Fett Rifle (ESB), Hoth Life Scanner (ESB), and Darth Vader Reveal (ESB/ROTJ).
Initial pricing will be:
Split plugs - $18/ea
Split plugs (8 or more) - $15/ea
Price does not include shipping and will be determined later. Again, this is just an interest thread to gage quantities. Please reply to this thread with quantities and I will update the original post. Once I have the total number for production, I will gather more details on timeline, calculate shipping, and request payments.
Photos below are of a sample OT plug (left) next to the HR plug (right). As shown in the photos, the OT replica plugs will be flexible at the hinge points like the HR plug.
