DarthVader Joystick Stand

Put the galaxy's most famous helmet in charge of your flight stick. This is a themed desk stand built around the unmistakable domed helmet and masked faceplate of a certain Sith Lord. The main body is the sculpted head — flared helmet dome, angular eye lenses and a raised control-box detail across the mask — while a rectangular tenon at the back keys it into the base. The download splits the model into practical parts (head, main body, two arms, legs and base), so it assembles into a small standing figure whose job is to cradle and display a joystick, HOTAS grip or controller between sessions. It's a fun slice of fan-service desk furniture for a sim-racing or flight-sim rig, a shelf mascot, or a novelty gift for a Star Wars fan who games. Print notes: • Print the head at 15–20% infill; give the base higher infill or a weight pocket so the stand won't tip under a heavy grip. • Most parts sit flat with minimal supports — check the helmet dome and arms for overhangs and support only where needed. • Print in black and drybrush gunmetal and silver over the mask detail, or print in colour and pick out the lenses. • Bond the sub-parts with superglue or epoxy, and add felt to the base underside to protect your desk. • Scale to match the footprint of your specific joystick before slicing.
