Just like I asked. Does anyone make machined metal copies of the beacon washers?

Quick disconnects... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CFN57VJJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Mesh cable sleeve... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071ZV6MZ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 And for the actual hose I used (I think) some 1/4-1/3" silicone...

Of course. :) I'll likely recycle my vambraces and shoulder/knee armor since they're not too shabby. Jetpack and back plate I want to redo as I want a more hollow design for electronics and snacks, er, I mean accessories. ;) . Maaaybe the chest armor as I think mine might be slightly under...

After I get my new printer up and running, I'll be doing Mysterymakers latest build, which uses the "screen used" mount pattern and hardware which I reeeeally like. It seems VERY secure. My current pack though... it would take a pretty good yank on it to pull it free. The bottom magnet helps a...

The vest side access is a gamechanger. What's funny is I came up with the concept and then like a week later a Bo Katan cosplayer on YouTube posted a video doing the exact same thing. Great minds must think alike I guess. :) One thing though on my vest. My vest and soft goods were made by an...

heh heh heh... I DID paint every layer. Why didn't I mask it in advance? Uh, umm... because... er... reasons? Okay, you caught me, I admit it, I didn't plan that far ahead. And when I initially painted everything it was early in the spring, in the north central USA and temps were borderline for...

My suit up path is... Swap shirt for Under Armor Heat Gear compression shirt. Seriously, compared to a cotton T-shirt, these are a lifesaver. Put on Boba pants. Compression socks. These SERIOUSLY save my legs and feet. Been wearing them for a few years whenever I have to be on my feet for...

They key to my solo suit up, is the vest. My back plate is attached to the vest with the shoulder strap/tabs, waist velcro tabs and 2 HUGE velcro plates in the center of the back, with matching plates on the armor itself. That bad boy ain't goin' nowhere without help! Now the real key to this...

In honor of May the 4th... My first full suit up! I've test fitted parts of this, but have never worn everything together until now. Discovered a few things that need tweaking, like adding additional magnets to my vambraces to keep them closed, and maybe shortening the hoses but overall it...

Finished the vambraces over a week ago and got my shoulder and chest emblems painted. Still need to blackwash the chest emblem. This part was evil. And so is my sewing machine... I suspect it's a Sith. It's hard to make out, but this was a major snarl of the thread because I made a...

Three days worth of work, maybe a little more. Next time... Spend the money and buy one from the fine Cosmaker in Italy! :)

I appreciate the info/files though! Maybe if I redo them, I'll use that idea.

I ended up epoxying elastic at the hinge on mine and then adding neodymium magnets at the opening. So far it seems pretty decent. I might add a couple more magnets just to be sure. Might also add Velcro to the top of the sleeve and the interior of the vambrace.

Been seeing ads for ages. Paid up on the RPF a while ago also. Same username. Thanks!
