Sorry, I’ve been working on a DC-15E print and a couple Amban pulse rifle prints. I’m not a wood/metal shop teacher, I’m the guy trying to build a tech maker space (Arduino, 3D printing and finishing, 3D design, etc). I get access to the shop for my 3D print finishing option I teach after school.

Just putting this here... I have just a few finishing touches on this before I reprint this for my actual costume. I have learned a lot about 2K finishes, what to do and not to do to accelerate the curing of paint on a 3D printed part (all the rippling on the Mohawk crest), and how work With a...

Thanks for the sling buckle suggestion, Malibu139. I do hear that ThinkBox Mfg is working on this part as well. I think I am going to reprint everything... 1. I used PLA as it was what I had on hand. Not very sandable. I’m going to use PETG instead. 2. While my later applications of...

Nice work so far!

Here’s a link to ThinkBox on Etsy. They are making a bunch of aluminum Mando parts (Din, Jango). https://etsy.me/38TxElW One last thing: it’s no secret that the production Beskar was painted with Alumaluster, which is pretty cool but pretty pricey. An Etsy seller markets Duralumen, which is a...

No pics yet. But I am plugging away at the filling and sanding of print lines in the beskar armor parts. The only Stuff I have at home right now is my left gauntlet and the gunsight parts for the Amban sniper rifle: Pencil marks are areas where I still have print lines showing. Helmet is on...

Well, would you look at that... Thanks for the heads up, sandtrooper8867! I think with a swap out of a few items I could do a s1 Beskar suit if I wanted.

Long time, no see everyone! I thought I’d keep a record of my progress on this build here. I’ve been printing parts for the costume for about the last 2 weeks on my home printer (PrusaMk3) and on a big Snapmaker A350 printer at work. I’m taking a finishing cue from BKBT’s build where he...

Beautiful looking!

Hello BKBT, About the epoxy you’re using to smooth your 3D prints, specifically what kind of epoxy resin are you using? Bondo fibreglass resin? Artist resin? XTC-3D? I looked through your thread, but I didn’t see any mention of specifics. I‘m printing the S2 Armor, and I’m wondering what kind...

Sorry I'm late to the party. Shenphong, I got a Stormrider foam blaster & holster about 6 months after FP took my money. Thanks for looking out for this old bounty hunter!

Sidearm and holster, ordered on June 19, 2013. $337 USD with shipping, paid in full. I would e-mail him about every 6 months. I haven't tried since he announced he's quitting making props.

Nice work! Glad that my musings around here have been helping you out. :D

A shout-out to Nomisha, who is visiting from the Australian Garrison. She's trooping as Juno Eclipse with us! And I STILL haven't seen the movie!!

Just got back from a troop for the Children's Wish Foundation.... A young man at our city's Childrens' Hospital wanted to see the new movie, so the theatre gave him a private screening complete with a red carpet entrance and an escort with this motley crew! The worst of the bunch sharing...
