ESB Fett by Dark Mavis

Looks good. How tall is your jet back, thrusters to rocket tip and how wide? I have never heard the prop's actual size. Thanks.

Thanks. I don’t have those dimensions yet as I’ve only printed out 3/4 of the main body.

The main body is approximately 16.5” x 17.5”. Bottom to top and fuel tank to fuel tank. Thats without the rocket assembly. Given that it’s a MF file I’m sure it’s very accurate to the screen used one.

I did order a MOW pack as he decided to do a limited run of the raw kit days after I decided I was going to print the pack, so I’ll do a comparison once I have both fully assembled and choose which one I want to use.

I'm ashamed that I didn't immediately think to just import the full assembly into my slicer and get the measurements DERP. 31.24" x 23.3" x 7.32"
Four years at the engineering academy wasted! You can reference the screenshot below to double check my hasty unit conversion from mm to inches.

That is huge compared to mine. Did anyone ever get to measure the real prop? Who/how/where did those dimensions come from?

That I can’t say. That might be a question to ask MF on boba fett builders. Assuming the lineage/photogrammetry of his other parts I would hope the jet pack is a similar story.

The Anovos pack is the closest we've gotten to the real thing's measurements. I can say it's much better than MOW's.

I like darth vorhees jetpack alot as well.

He’s not making them anymore right?

No, however I believe Neo Fett has the jetpack molds currently.

Well I'm always happy to send more business her way. I know she isn't actively selling jetpacks. Speaking of Neo...

I recieved in the replacement EE3 stock castings from her. They look great! still need to do more cleanup on them, but they look way better than the 3D printed ones that came on the rifle. Did some comparison photos. Notice the beautiful lack of layer lines I also seem to gotten an early start on weathering the stock while removing the 3D printed ones. I scraped off and sanded off the remaining glue and continued sanding down the stock because I'm not really happy with the color it came with. The stock is walnut, but I suspect they coated it with something that is darkening the hue. I'll probably sand it down some more and restain it once the damage is done. I've already taken some preliminary peeks at some great threads documenting the stock. So I'll get around to weathering it and trying to get the correct color.

I also recieved my braids from Tunafett and they look awesome.
