3d printed skull holster . . .

Recommended Posts

I made this holster for Halloween on a whim... The skull is 3d printed out of white ABS so as it wears it will just show off more of the "bone".

WOW !!Awesome build!! I would love to shoot cowboy single action with a couple of holsters like that!

Any details on the skull print? and attaching it to the holster??

Do you sell the skulls? What other skull designs have you printed?

Thanks! The skull was from Thingiverse. It's Celtic style, so it has scrollwork on it which I thought would go well with the tooling:

I had to modify it in Meshmixer by cutting off the back and giving it the curvature of the holster. I also added a flange:

then sliced it in Slic3r:

The holster is fully-lined. I cut a window in the outer leather smaller than the flange. Once the liner was glued on I sewed around the flange to "lock" it in.

I then dyed and weathered per normal.

That is a gorgeous project.

I am not a skull guy myself, but the whole design works.

I love everything about it... the muted colors, the unfinished edges, the carving, the "antique" buckle matching the colors... everything.
