Now, everyone, stop requesting Darth Vader! He's here! Print him! Be happy!
My first memory of Vader is the scene in Empire where he chops off Luke's hand. I was probably way too young to watch it because it made such a lasting impression on me. While these days I'm more of a Trekker than a Star Wars fan I still enjoy the movies greatly (with a couple of exceptions), and sculpting Vader was ultimately inevitable.
I see you have re-designed him a bit...
I wanted to leave my own mark on this Vader, so I redesigned his body a bit, which I hope you don't mind. I believe the spirit of Vader is still there. I left the helmet as canon as I could!
So does this print without supports as well?
Yes! With a caveat. Because of those stupid little sticks that stick out of Vader's face mask I had to separate the body from the base, so there's two pieces pieces to print.
The body
Now, the body part leans quite heavily, so put nice wide brim on it to keep it in place, and if it makes you feel safer put some supports down as well. The body can also be printed without infill, which is how I printed mine.
The base
The base needs infill until the three little "feet" end, but beyond that it can be printed without it. Shouldn't be any need on any printer for supports.
This is fan art, provided for free, and I fully acknowledge the Darth Vader likeness is the property of Lucasfilm Ltd.
I printed this on my CR-10S using some PLA (from 3DNet, no affiliation), and the following settings (note this is just how I printed mine, not a straight out print guide):
Layer height: 0.12mm
Nozzle: 0.4mm
Perimeter: 1.2mm (3 perimeters)
Speed: 60mm/s (but S3D slows it down mostly)
Top/bottom # layers: 6
Infill: 10% rectilinear (on base)
Print time: Probably a total of 30 hours

Awesome model! Your designs are brilliant. I started printing this as soon as I saw your facebook post :) I used marble PLA for the base, and black PLA+ for the bust. I made a timelapse video of the print, which you can see here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsbb4AUHvLy/

Very nice model Print on Flsun QQS Layerheight 0.15 Infill 5% (Base 15%) No Supports
So Very Cool. Thanks so much for this, David! It was easy to print. I could have taken more time on this. Printed at .2 layer height. I could have taken more time sanding it down, tempted to go .12mm layer height. I couldn't wait to get this thing setup though. Automotive primer, flat black BBQ pit spray paint, some acrylic color paints, and some Rust-Oleum Triple Thick Glaze Spray.
Amazing model!!, I was able to print the bust part with 0% infill with any problems. Printed with hatchbox3d black PLA 85% scaled .14mm layers high 0% infill (Bust) 10% infill (Base) 40 mm/s to get the best results in details.

Awesome sculpt. Thank you Printed at 90%. On Ender 3 pro At .12 layer height. Sprayed with rust-o-Leum metallic oiled bronze
Thank you for sharing the bust. As I am a very big fan of Vader, I could not resist the dark side of the impression. Painted and lacquered, I still have to improve certain aspects of my work, I am really very happy with the final result.
Thanks David Östman. I printed and painted using a dry brush.

Modelo magnífico, pintura com tinta acrílica
This Darth Vader print is magnificent, especially being able to print it with Zero infill! Thanks for the print, I even created a timelapse to go with it youtu.be/wlkqCFpUQks
Darth Vader printed with resin and then painted with acrylic paints
Printed with black matt filament at 0.08 mm, 55% scale. Awesome sculpt, thank you!
Printed at 65% scale. Printed hollow, except for base of the stand
This looks absolutely amazing, and a remarkable fact is that the design seems optimized for 3D printing, as it can made without supports. Really appreciate it!
Downscaled at 80%
I printed this beautiful model on an Ender 3 in standard precision (ie: 0.2mm) with no infill for the bust as the author said. It works pretty well but be careful as the back of the bust seems brittle. I think that if I print it again I would use some infill for the bust. Anyway I love the design, and I wish to thanks David for it's model.
Thanks for the model!
Thanks for the model, Good STL !

Awesome design and printed really well. Primed with Vallejo white and then back and brushed with silver.
Printed on Elegoo Mars 2 Pro. Painted not so well, but I'm just learning. Learned making infill with SLA on this model... Looks awful when not painted.
This was a great model. It printed with no supports other than a widened brim for the bust. Primed it with matte black primer, painted on the details then gave it a coat of clear varnish. Thanks for the great design. :)
Love this model. Easy to print and funny to paint. Thx again...
