  1. Past hour
  2. I'm a huuuge fan of David Tennant and his work! Getting to meet him, see him, talk with him was just an extraordinary experience and worth every cent paid. I think that's one of the best parts of being in such a large Garrison: we got lots of troopers and fantastic events [70] 25.05.2024 -- Comic Park Erfurt, Day 1 It was a long, long travel there, but everyone I'd met told me of the great location and all the fun they'd had last year, so I had to see this event for myself. And the location didn't disappoint! A beautiful park stretching over kilometers, bustling with visitors and cosplayers in hot summer weather. I started off the event by getting to meet and escort the city's mayor -- crazy who you'll meet simply because you thought running around in plastic sounds fun -- alongside a few of my fellow troopers. We had our own Star Wars area together with a handful of other clubs. One of which had organized a bounty hunt for kids, where they had to find several characters. Alas, their TK wasn't actually a TK that day, so I agreed to jump in. Since I was the only OTTK that day (we had one FOTK as well), I didn't want to disappoint the kids who were looking for a Stormtrooper. Still, I tried to get the most out of that day, without collapsing of a heatstroke, and spent lots of it with CC-75367 and a new recruit who was wearing his CT for the first time. We explored the park, stumbled across a fantastic playground, and lazed around in the sun. On the playground I did manage to get a new crack in my armor, but with a quick repair I was ready to face the second day. [71] 26.05.2024 -- Comic Park Erfurt, Day 2 With not enough sleep and even higher temperatures we started into the second day of fun and shenanigans. This time I refused to participate in the bounty hunt, and with one other Stormtrooper from my Garrison we were a total of three Stormtroopers that day -- if only for a short while. Can't say I blame them for not wanting to spend too much time in armor considering the temperatures and instead changing into a Narkina 5 prisoner and club clothing respectively. My fellow TK -- now my escaped prisoner -- had taken a skateboard with him to the event and I joined forces with a few other young people to enjoy some silliness. All of us were pushed along on that skateboard in full armor, desperately trying to not fall over. Video link. Once we'd exhausted ourselves there, we moved on to taking silly pictures. Piggyback rides, climbing onto trees, and silly faces. I believe I ended up with roughly 400 pictures from that alone. Something I didn't expect out of this troop was anything to do with David Tennant, but I found out that there was a Good Omens Fanmeet happening next to our Star Wars area. Of course I couldn't miss out on that one, so I headed over there. I met quite a few of the people from the Doctor Who/Good Omens convention earlier this month and got a bracelet and a rubber duck out of it. Definitely a highlight of the weekend!

  3. Historically it's been a stack of two IKEA LACK tables. They fit Prusa and clone printers very nicely. https://blog.prusa3d.com/cheap-simple-3d-printer-enclosure_7785/ Scroll to the end. I used to have one of these and it worked okay. You want a paver stone to set your printer on or you get a ton of resonance and noise.
  4. Hi, check the below link https://www.etsy.com/listing/1415398176/stormtrooper-first-order-rifle-f-11d?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=first+order+stormtrooper+heavy+blaster&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&frs=1&cns=1&content_source=c126f0291708c815926f7a4e1513d54d5ff46e77%3A1415398176&organic_search_click=1
  5. Today
  6. because on some pictures it looks like the borders are way brighter and the main belt has the same colour as the panels: on others it seems like the borders and main belt are brighter together:
  7. Tell me more about this IKEA enclosure? I've been looking for something for my printers as I'd love to try ABS or ASA. Best I can do is PETG currently and that is if my bed heater is feeling cooperative.
  8. Welcome, Seth! Do you have any questions that we can answer to help you on your stormtrooper journey? What stormtrooper are you interested in building?
  9. One thing regarding the over skirt: Is the main belt supposed to be a brighter red than all other parts? To match the trim border of all panels.
  10. Welcome, Jason! In addition to posting questions and build updates on the forum (highly encouraged), being in touch with your local garrison is also helpful. If you are not familiar, there are two garrisons in Indiana, and those are the Bloodfin Garrison and the Northern Darkness Garrison. Bloodfin is in the central and southern thirds of the state, whereas Northern Darkness is the northern third of the state. The dividing line between the two is based on the county one lives in, and Northern Darkness lists the counties on their homepage (if you are not in those counties, then you are in Bloodfin's territory). The Bloodfin Garrison website: https://www.bloodfingarrison.com/ The Northern Darkness Garrison website: http://www.ndgarrison.com/ I am in the Bloodfin Garrison, and FISD's Imperial Attaché for Bloodfin, so I can be of assistance to you if you would like. Although I have not built a sandtrooper, there are similarities in build construction between a sandtrooper and stormtrooper! Bloodfin also has a few sandtroopers, so we have local knowledge of the requirements of MEPD (the detachment for sandtroopers). My own armor is Walt's Trooper Factory, but as others have said, the kits from other makers may be more accurate for sandtroopers.
  11. Welcome Vascod. Make sure to ask lots of questions, we are here to help.
  12. Welcome, Vascod! Let us know what questions you have and we will provide guidance along your journey to become a stormtrooper!
  13. Welcome Jason, Looking forward to seeing your build.
  14. Welcome, Jason! If you hadn't already seen it, our armor vetted vendor list below lists several other makers as well. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them-updated-2023/
  15. Welcome, Seth! Glad to have you here at the home of shiny white plastic!

  17. Grazie mille è molto utile ma per i lacci del giubbotti come dovrei farli ???
  18. thanks for letting me in
  19. Nessun produttore li fornisce attualmente. Potresti costruirne uno tuo No maker supplies these currently. You could build your own
  20. Made some progress. I’ve got a job out of state but I brought my printer along and have afternoons off to work on my armor. I kept the printer running all week. I’m printing in ABS. I know some people have difficulty printing ABS due to warping but so far with my enclosure I’ve been having success. My printer is a Prusa MK2.5S with a IKEA enclosure. I print at .15mm layer height but I also have been taking advantage of Variable Layer Height to squeeze out detail and print time. I’m printing at 15% infill and it seems super light but pretty damn durable and flexes well. I glued them up with an ABS juice of ABS and acetone, mostly being acetone but I’m adding more ABS supports to see what mixture works best. The actual alignment went spectacular to my surprise. I also did a test fit. Only the outside edges of the belt tabs were having trouble but I bowed the abs by using filament boxes as spacers in the back gap and it made the difference to get those last tabs to set up. Currently printing Nico’s Modified Helmet from @TKModder421 so stay tuned for that glue up as well.
  21. Sto cercando il giubbotto del primo ordine come quello visto nel link qui sotto sapete darmi consigli su dove comprarne uno ??? https://images.app.goo.gl/zxttBgpHqrN7spDA8
