Thermoptic Pistol By Duplex Designs

Overview of Duplex Designs’ Thermoptic Pistol Model

A highly detailed, screen-accurate 3D printable model of Major Mira Killian/Motoko Kusanagi's thermoptic pistol from Ghost in The Shell, based on Glock 19 dimensions with multiple variants and build options.
Inspired by Major Mira Killian/Motoko Kusanagi’s weapon from Ghost in The Shell (2017). ​
Multiple build options available.

Reasons for Creating the Model

Dissatisfaction with existing models' size and detail accuracy. ​
Desire for a screen-accurate, multi-part, detailed model. ​
Used available screenshots and stunt photos for reference.
Ensures most parts lock together like a real Glock, requiring minimal glue. ​
Adjusted barrel position and geometry to prevent misuse with real Glock parts.

Advantages Over Other Models

Based on actual Glock 19 dimensions, allowing use of real or replica parts. ​
Highest part count and detail level among available models. ​
Minimal assembly glue needed; parts mostly lock together like a real Glock. ​
Offers multiple frame variants for different visual styles and states.

Skill Level and Assembly Requirements

Not suitable for beginners; requires proficient 3D modeling and printing skills. ​
Parts have tolerances similar to real Glock, resin prints will need sanding/finishing. ​
FDM printing at 0.08mm layer height yields good fit; resin parts may need more finishing. ​
Final model is static; no functional mechanical action, slide racking may risk damage.
Designed for display, but can be assembled and disassembled like the real Glock.

Material Choices for Printing

FDM: Good for non-transparent parts; uses PLA; may show ghosting; suitable for internal parts. ​
Resin: Necessary for transparent parts and small components; requires careful handling due to shrinkage and other distortions. ​
Hybrid: Combines resin for transparent parts and FDM for larger or accurately fitting parts; results in high-quality display models.

Parts List and Assembly Instructions

Comprehensive list of STL parts and step-by-step assembly guidance. ​
Includes frames, slides, barrels, internal components, magazine parts, and detailed small parts.
Assembly involves sub-assemblies: magazine, barrel, slide, trigger, frame. ​
Detailed instructions for each sub-assembly and final assembly process.
Emphasizes careful fitting, optional internal detail omission, and finishing for best results.
