Files for a 3D printed replica of the Mini UZI used by the Skinny Man in the 2017 live action movie Ghost in The Shell.
Also see Assembly Instructions
At Duplex Designs we do love a great sci-fi weapon. Although our favourite has got to be Deckard’s blaster from the movie Blade Runner the weapons seen in the live action movie Ghost in The Shell really stood out as well.
This is a very detailed model of the modified Mini UZI used by the Yakuza when they attacked the ambassadors at the Maciej Hotel in the 2017 live action movie Ghost In The Shell.
This download set includes a multi-part, functional briefcase handle/release mechanism along with two options for the Mini UZI build.
You can opt for an easy build, four-part solid Mini UZI model or a highly detailed Mini UZI that can be built as the Briefcase UZI or (with included alternative parts) as a standalone high detail Mini UZI model.
OK, we are a little late to the party with this model as the movie came out in 2017, but we believe the weapon is interesting enough to warrant its creation here in 2026.
We have not seen another model of this weapon.
Based on actual IMI Mini UZI dimensions this model is pretty accurate to the available stunt prop photos.
While not containing all the real Mini UZI parts it is a reasonably accurate model modified to suit FDM printing.
(We include a solid model split into four parts as well in case you decide to take an even easier build route. This still retains the high level of detail externally.)
Also included are the folding stock and retainer pin and an alternative ported barrel. These are not seen in the movie but will allow you to build a full Mini UZI rather than the movie prop.
You will need a medium level of skill in 3D printing and modelling to do justice to this model.
Part tolerances are quite tight so depending on what you create the parts with you may need to do some sanding and finishing to get parts to fit.
For example, FDM printing at 0.08mm layer height using a 0.4mm nozzle is good enough for a great fit for the assembly but as soon as you start to use resin parts the differences in resin shrinkage and tolerance will start to show.
NOTE: Although the model contains lots of detailed parts it should not be expected that final build will perform all the mechanical actions expected of the real weapon.
Please consider this a static model. Yes, you can field strip and rebuild this similar to the Mini UZI and the bolt will retract but this is recommended for display purposes only.
Springs can be used on the trigger, top cover release catch, barrel release catch and grip safety. We decided not to add a spring to the bolt although this can still be cocked backwards and forwards.
The magazine catch has been redesigned to allow for a simple spring rather than the original UZI spring.
Briefcase NOT supplied. Notes are included. along with suitable catches, on how to cut up a briefcase to house the Mini UZI model.
See later for briefcase cutting guide.
Solid UZI + Briefcase Mechanism
Briefcase handle and deployment mechanism is multi-part and functional. A solid Mini UZI model is included that is split into four parts for easy FDM printing. This consists of front left and right parts, rear left and right parts. All parts can be glued together using the pegs provided.
Detailed UZI + Briefcase Mechanism
Briefcase handle and deployment mechanism is multi-part and functional. A more detailed UZI can be constructed using multiple parts that attempt to conform, where possible, to actual Mini UZI construction methods. This UZI model has moving parts such as trigger and magazine.
The magazine can hold three dummy rounds and contains a small 3D printed spring to allow rounds to compress slightly up against the bolt as the magazine is inserted.
Detailed UZI Standalone
A complete Mini UZI can also be created from the detailed parts. Just add the included Handguards, Receiver (With stock hinge), Cocking Knob, Folding Stock and Retaining Pin.
Also supplied is a ported barrel which may be used on this model.
The magazine can hold three dummy rounds and contains a small 3D printed spring to allow rounds to compress slightly up against the bolt as the magazine is inserted.
A complete build and assembly document is provided which includes step by step assembly instructions.
