The Best Star Wars STL Files for 3D Printing

With May 4th just around the corner, we’ve put together a selection of STL files so you still have time to print them before Star Wars Day. Whatever FDM printer you’re using, these models are a great excuse to make the most of your machine, whether it’s to decorate your home, create a unique gift, or simply enjoy assembling something for the occasion. You can download the files for free from platforms like Thingiverse, Cults, or MakerWorld.

May the Force be with you… and may your first layer stick.

Wearable Darth Vader Helmet

If you’re ready to take on a more advanced build, this Darth Vader helmet is a solid choice. Designed for most i3-style printers, the model is split into multiple parts with alignment holes to make assembly easier, while separate rear sections allow for better fitting, with optional additions like magnets or Velcro to hold everything in place. The lenses can either be 3D printed for display or vacuum formed for a more realistic finish. Be prepared for some post-processing, as achieving a clean result will require a fair amount of sanding, but the final result is worth the effort. The designer recommends a 0.2 mm layer height with 20% infill, using supports where needed. You can download the model here.

Kawaii Grogu Monitor Clinger

It’s hard to resist Grogu, and this kawaii version is no exception. Designed to hug the edge of your monitor, laptop, or a shelf, this small desk accessory adds a playful touch to any setup. The model is optimized for high-resolution printing and remains easy to produce, with minimal supports needed depending on orientation. It can also be scaled to fit different screen thicknesses, making it adaptable to most workspaces. PLA works well for this print, with around 10 to 15% infill recommended to keep it balanced. You can download the model here.

Chewbacca Mate Cup

If you thought you’d seen it all, this Chewbacca mate cup proves otherwise. Turning the iconic Wookiee into a functional container, it’s a playful and slightly unexpected piece that stands out on any desk or kitchen counter. The model is relatively straightforward to print and works well with standard materials like PLA. It’s best suited as a decorative piece unless properly sealed or fitted with a food-safe inner lining. You can download the model here.

Stormtrooper Phone Holder

This Stormtrooper phone holder is a fun and practical addition to any desk setup, doubling as a display piece while keeping your phone upright and within reach. The model is designed to print without supports and comes in multiple parts that are assembled with glue. Assembly instructions are available in the video below, and separate STL files are included to make printing each component easier. You can download the model here.

BattleFleet Star Wars: Rebels vs. the Empire

If you’re looking for a gift for a Star Wars fan, this printable board game is a strong option. It features ships from the Rebel Alliance and the Empire, all housed in a hinged box with a locking mechanism, designed to hold up to regular use. The pieces include numbered and lettered plates, making them easy to read even in low light. The box, plates, and pins can be printed in PLA without supports, while the figures and hinges require supports. You can download it here.

Death Star Wall Clock

Here’s a Death Star-shaped wall clock, with the option to add an X-Wing to the second hand. It fits standard MK3-type print beds, and a scaled-down version is also available for smaller machines. The model prints as a single piece, with supports required only for the central hole, and a 9 mm clock mechanism fits directly into place. The X-Wing on the second hand is optional, and if the mechanism doesn’t provide enough torque to move it smoothly, the designer also offers a lighter version. To mount it, you’ll need a standard quartz clock mechanism with a long shaft. You can download it here.

Lightsaber Lamp

If you’re looking for a more ambitious project, this lightsaber-shaped lamp is a great option. The main body is wrapped with an LED strip that runs along its entire length, while the outer diffuser is printed with three walls, a thickness designed to distribute the light evenly without making it too dim. The designer recommends printing the main body in PETG to avoid potential issues, while the remaining parts can be printed in PLA. You can find the files and printing instructions here.

Multicolor R2-D2 Pen Holder

If you’re looking to print something functional, this is a great option. It’s an R2-D2 replica designed to work as a pen holder or decorative piece, printed in separate parts that are then assembled and glued together. Splitting the model helps reduce filament purge when switching colors, although it’s still a fairly material-intensive project. It does require some patience, whether you’re painting or managing color changes, but the final result is very faithful to the character. The designer recommends a 0.2 mm layer height and 10% infill. You can print your R2-D2 here.

Articulated Jabba the Hutt

Jabba the Hutt isn’t known for moving much, but this articulated version tells a different story. With built-in moving segments, it doubles as a display piece and a satisfying fidget toy you’ll find hard to keep your hands off. The model features built-in articulation and is designed to print as a single piece, requiring no assembly in most cases. A 0.16 mm layer height, three walls, and 15% infill are commonly used settings, and it works well in PLA across a range of colors, with multicolor and metallic filaments being popular choices. You can download the model here.

Princess Leia Planter

Leia’s iconic double bun is reimagined here as a planter or pen holder, depending on your needs. The model can be scaled to your liking and requires several supports. With standard settings, the print takes just under 7 hours and uses around 61 grams of filament. The designer recommends PLA or PETG, though PETG is the better choice if the model will be used outdoors or in contact with soil. You can download the design here.

Imperial Credits

We wrap up the list with replicas of the metal coins sold at Galaxy’s Edge, redesigned to be thicker and produce a satisfying clink when tapped on a table. They measure approximately 36 × 50 × 5 mm. They can be used as cosplay props or as chips for Sabacc games. The models print well in gold or silver metallic PLA, and with metal-filled filaments, the finish is especially convincing.
