  1. James, You’ll need to sign up to their forum and post the question there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I’ve got the 3D Props NL armour. Haven’t started printing it yet though as I have other projects queued first. ABS armour, specifically vacuum formed ABS armour, is more pliable and more forgiving its 3D printed equivalent in PLA, PETG or even ABS. I took a fall in my stormtrooper costume about a year ago. Apart from a few scratches, there wasn’t much damage. Had it been printed, the parts would at best have cracked, at worst shattered. The advantage of 3D printed armour is that one can easily resize parts to ones own unique dimensions. The strength of the parts depends on a variety of factors though, such as print material, print wall thickness, infill %, and even heat the plastic was fused at. This is in addition to how the parts are finished, e.g. spray filler/putty vs. Plastic wood filler vs. Bondo, vs. Auto car putty, vs Epoxy resin, vs UV resin. I don’t believe there’s one best medium for our hobby. One has to pick those that one is most comfortable working with.
  3. Nice start. Who’s the mask and armour by?
  4. Looks fantastic. How did you get the thigh armour to stay in place?
  5. The photos looked great. Not sure why you deleted them...
  6. Fantastic update. (I bought the 3D Props NL files too [emoji6])
  7. G'day Florian Enjoying your progress thus far. If you don't mind me asking, who's the pattern maker of the 3D parts? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. That’s so cool! How do you plan to make the blade though?
  9. Fantastic work! Good luck in your application
  10. G’day all Tarok (TKID-27777), Knightfall Garrison, checking in. I’m approved for a OT TK (ANH Stunt) and OT Imperial Officer (Staff). Well before I joined I’d been looking at putting a Revan costume together, and recently started researching it again. In doing so I’ve become distracted by the Sith Acolyte costume which seems a bit easier to do. Given I’ve also got a ShoreTrooper on the go, whichever costume I do (why not both?!? Lol) will be a slow burn.
  11. G’day Tarok (TKID27777), Knightfall Garrison, requesting 501st access. Legion profile: https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=26124
  12. Trust me I understand your issues with the word “approvable” (I should probably update my profile with my Legion number), and take your point about the use of the words. My bad. Glad to hear that the details in the designs match those per the CRL. I’d hate to buy the STLs only to find a mask prong isn’t present.
  13. Is that the set from VK3Design you’re referring to? i know it says “501 approvable”, but I’d be curious to know if it is.
  14. Nice start. Is that a face mask or full head version? do you mind if I ask where you found the 3D files?
