Description
NOTE: This model was printed in PLA and is intended as a display and cosplay photo prop only. It is not made for rough handling, swinging around, or play, and will likely be fragile under stress. The barrel assembly is quite heavy, so there is a small visible ~1 mm gap at the break-action under load. Cables are required for the build, while magnets are optional—the 5 × 1 mm magnets are the more useful ones, while the 5 × 3 mm magnets are not strictly necessary.
Inspired by the Rostović DB-2 Satara from Cyberpunk 2077—the game’s heavy, overbuilt tech double-barrel shotgun with its distinctive electromagnetic barrel and two-shell layout—this fan-made prop is my attempt to bring that absurd and iconic Night City design into the real world as a cosplay and shelf piece.
This model features a working break-action barrel, a moving trigger, and display shells. It also includes a stand and a Cyberpunk logo for presentation. It was designed first and foremost as a display prop and a cosplay photo piece. It is not intended for rough use, and of course it is not a functional weapon. This is a fan-made replica inspired by the game.
One thing I want to mention right away: the barrel assembly is fairly heavy, so under its own weight there is a small visible gap of about 1 mm at the break-action. The hook still holds the barrel securely, but I think it is better to mention this as a known flaw from the start. Anyone printing this is very welcome to experiment with lower infill settings in order to reduce the barrel weight as much as possible.
Magnets are not strictly required. The 5 × 1 mm magnets are the more useful ones, because they help return the locking mechanism to its original position and add a satisfying click. The 5 × 3 mm magnets are much less important, especially since the barrel is heavy enough that they do not make a huge difference.
You will also need cables for the build. I used one old round power cable and two old flat Ethernet cables, cut into two 130 cm (about 51.2 in) pieces each. That combination worked very well for me, and I strongly recommend using at least two flat cables, since round cables may not fit through some of the tighter internal channels.
I strongly recommend downloading the 3MF file, because all parts are already oriented and were test-printed in exactly those positions. That gives you the best chance of reproducing the intended result without extra setup.
I personally printed my own build mostly in a single color and painted it afterwards. For the truly dedicated, I also included an AMS profile that color-separates the few parts that really benefit from multi-color printing. The non-AMS profile still includes some color separation, but as my own example shows, that is absolutely optional.
This project got a little out of hand in the best possible way. I recently played Cyberpunk 2077 again with a few mods, fell in love with this ridiculous weapon all over again, and decided I needed it in my display case next to my other game and cosplay models. The design, the exaggerated proportions, and the tech details are just too good not to build.
If you run into any problems, feel free to leave a comment or send me a private message. This is a fairly complex model, and even with a lot of testing, small mistakes can sometimes slip through.
