The Fusion Generator is what charged Artoo on Dagobah in the Empire Strikes Back. Presumably it could be used to power lots of your droids!

The Fusion Reactor thread on astromech.net details SavageCreature's process while he created all the digital files.
The generator has plans in the Fusion Generator Construction Plans section!
3D Printed Parts are also needed of the Fusion Generator 3D Files
Plans
There are Fusion Generator Construction plans and Fusion Generator 3D Files in the files section.
The current plans are "beta" quality and require both 3D printing and Styrene flat packs.
- Several parts are intended to be cut as a "flatpack" and assembled
- Other curvier details are expected to be 3D printed.
- Parts like hoses will need sourced. Please let everyone know if you find the perfect thing!
Build Logs
Fusion Generator Construction plans details Savage's creation of the plans.

TBD
Construction
Let everyone know if you have construction tips!
The top was originally some sort of fan, and those tend to have odd #s of blades, in this case 11. It seems a little odd when first looking at this project that some bits have multiples of 11 and others happen 8 times. Which also leads to a strange alignment trying to get some bits on 45 degree centers and others on 32.72... degree centers.
Parts List
3D Printed
The 3D Print file names say how many you need of each part, eg: x11
baseKnob_x16.STL baseSlantCableMount_x8.STL baseUpperCableMount_x8.STL heatsink_x11.STL hose_socket_x11.STL mainHoseMount_x8.STL TopSeg_01.STL TopSeg_02.STL TopSeg_03.STL TopSeg_04.STL TopSeg_05.STL TopSeg_06.STL top_cap.STL top_fin_x11.STL top_lower_nipple_x11.STL upper_hose_mount_x8.STL
Flatpack
The Flatpack files have multiple copies of each part and seem to be designed for ~25x34" sheets. If you cut all 3, then you'll get a full set of parts.
00_flatPieceLayout_2.pdf (1/16" (1.5mm) Styrene) 01_flatPieceLayout_2.pdf (1/8" (3mm) Styrene) 02_flatPieceLayout.pdf (1/8" (3mm) Styrene)
02_flatPieceLayout has markings for a slot for the rest of the parts to slide in on the top piece, that may need removed for some machines, Savage cut the slot with his CnC. Similarly the bottom parts on that page have an extra line where the rounding begins, you may need to remove that line.
Additional
There are additional parts not listed in the above plans:
Hoses x8 Upper clear lens - ?? x ??" Inner grill window - optional? - ?? x ??" Inner cylinder ??? - ?? x ??"
Suppliers
If you find great sources for hoses or whatnot, let us know!
