Judge Dredd Lawgiver Mk II (1995 Film Version)

🛡️ Two Versions Included – With or Without Electronics Support!

This is a detailed 3D printable replica of the iconic Lawgiver Mark II as seen in the 1995 Judge Dredd film. Designed to capture the futuristic aesthetic of Mega-City One's most infamous weapon, this prop includes two build options:

🔧 Version 1: Electronics-Ready

This version is designed for hobbyists who want to add functional lights and electronics. Features include:

• LED Support:
  • Front barrel has space for 2x 60mm red LED filaments
  • Rear indicators can be printed in translucent red and blue and backlit with a single 40mm white LED filament
  • Optional: print light elements in white to diffuse the light more evenly
• Power: Runs off a 2xAA battery box with the on/off switch magnetically hidden under the front grip
• Easy Access: Grip is held in place using 6x 8mm x 2mm round magnets for quick battery replacement or recharging
• Functional Trigger: Uses 2x 4mm x 20mm compression springs for spring-loaded trigger action (non-functional, just tactile)

🎨 Version 2: Static Display

Don’t want electronics? No worries. This version replaces LEDs with printable red and blue parts, making it easy to create a great-looking display piece with coloured filament. No soldering required – just print, assemble, and display.

🛠️ Assembly Instructions 

1. Trigger Assembly
   • Insert the trigger into the Trigger Guard, ensuring smooth movement
   • Add the 2x 4mm x 20mm compression springs
   • Test-fit the Trigger Guard into the Grip (slide it in from the front for easier alignment)
   • Once satisfied, glue the flat faces where the guard meets the grip, and add a few drops to the front seams
2. Lower Front & Rear Housing
   • Glue the Front Lower piece to the Trigger Guard/Grip using 2x 5x5mm pins for alignment
   • Add the Rear LED Housing (or non-LED version), inserting diffusers or the triangle/square parts depending on your version
   • Install the rear LED cover to reduce light bleed
   • Install 40mm White LED filament and secure with a dab of hot glue
   • Thread power wires through the tube into the Front Lower section
3. Front LED Assembly
   • Glue the front diffuser in place, noting the wire cutout
   • Insert the 2x LED filaments into the holder:
     • Positives to the center, negatives on the outside
     • Orient filaments so the brighter side faces the diffuser
     • Secure with hot glue to prevent sagging
   • Lower the holder into place; it should rest on the diffuser edges—secure with glue in each corner
4. Electronics Housing & Wiring
   • Route wiring through the hole in the Electronics Cover and glue the cover in place
   • This ensures the battery box sits flush and doesn’t interfere with the filaments
   • Connect the 2 positives and 3 negatives to the battery box (preferably with built-in switch)
   • Test before gluing to confirm everything works
5. Magnets & Final Assembly
   • Add magnets:
     • 1 in each magnet holder
     • 2 in each hole of the Foregrip (watch polarity!)
   • Glue the holders into the two Front Lower slots
   • Attach the Top Slide Lip to the Top Slide (or use the one-piece version) and glue to the top of the grip assembly
   • Add Top Barrel and Bottom Barrel pieces, aligning seams downward
   • Add Bottom Barrel Round, Mag Bottom (using pins), Safety, Mag Release, and Left Side Button
6. Finishing Touches
   • Weathering can be applied using silver Rub 'n Buff or AK’s Silver Metallic Wax
   • Use a cloth wrapped around your finger to lightly apply it to edges, corners, and high-wear areas like the trigger

🏆 Includes a themed display stand inspired by Mega-City One industrial design
