All the parts thus far. Fixed up the ab details today too. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

I opened everything and put it all out on the floor. Photos show everything except the screws and Velcro it came with. There's a plastic film on the armor parts that make them look a little off white and dull. That peels off. The belt boxes and TD are solid and heavy. Came with a sticker sheet.

Jeffry, Welcome aboard! I've gotta say, that's an awesome picture. I had to look at it a few times before I realized Krrsantan is standing directly behind you. I can't wait to see your builds.

Hi everyone! I'm Jeff, I'm 40 years old and live in The Netherlands. I'll be turning 41 early September and in my birthday weekend, me and my wife will be visiting RS Props in Stockport to both get ANH Stunt Stormtrooper suits made to measure We're both big Star Wars fans and at our wedding this summer, the Dutch Garrison honored us with their presence Words cannot describe how awesome that was. Again a big THANK YOU to all who were there and who helped us to arrange it, you guys rock! We can't wait to get our own TK outfits and join the Legion. For the Empire!

It took a minute...but at last, TK-37331 reporting to duty. For the Empire! I commissioned my ESB TK, like many others, I was nervous I would mess something up. Now that I am suited, fears of messing something up are relaxing. I look forward to start trooping soon! Thanks to FISD, this place is a great resource for research and ideas.

Thank you gmrhodes13, I just found the instructions somewhere on the site on posting photos. I will get that fixed.

This might be one of the best wedding pictures ever taken! Welcome!

Welcome aboard!

Nice work, keep it up trooper

Mine arrived today. I'm in WI. Just received the email with the tracking number this morning and it was on my porch by 2 PM.

Huge shout-out to my friend@Doggydoc for donating his unused materials to a trooper in need! Thank you for mailing these to me! Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

3 lbs in a week , sounds fast , good luck and best wishes.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks thanks to a massive hail storm and the cleanup afterwards. It's time for my (sorely belated) weekly update! Starting weight: 191 Goal weight: 150 Current weight: On 01 AUG it was 184. As of 08 AUG, it was 181. I've spoken to my family doctor about the medication dosage that caused the initial spike in my weight and he gave me the OK to lower the dose back to what it was before the major weight gain until I can see a specialist. I've got an appointment with the specialist on the 25th of this month, so here's hoping we can get all of this stuff figured out. Until then I'll be continuing with my regular exercise plan, plus some expanded dumbbell workouts. Thanks again, everyone, for the recommendations and the support. Keep up the great work!

A tighter elastic may help, I have my snaps on the inner side of the elastic (most add it on the outside) so there is more elastic that has to be pulled by the shoulder straps. You can also find industrial elastic which is stronger and doesn't give as much. Glue will definitely help keep those drop boxes straight, you can see how far forward the drop box is in this image.

Lol. I had an awesome thread in draft, but I let my daughter play Roblox on my computer. When she was done, I came back and realized she closed my pages. Whatever, I'll save my long-winded musings for the other thread. Tonight I had two more prints finish up and one of them was the deciding factor if 3DTK 2.0 was going to continue or get scrapped. Also, I've decided that since this is another 3D print build, unlike last time, I'll actually post print times for everything so people get a better understanding of what they're up against. First, the shoulder bells: Total Time: 24 hours 18 minutes. Simplify3D estimate: 22 hours 32 minutes. Not much to say about these. I'll throw them over with the forearms and keep printing. Monday I posted the picture of the hot glue on the build plate, but totally forgot to mention what I was printing. Well, here it is: Total time: 46 hours 38 minutes. Simplify3d estimate: 38 hours 40 minutes. Abdominal armor is pretty much the sole reason I justified the purchase of the CR-10 Max a year ago. Thus far, I've printed 2 abdominal sections (Shoretrooper and At-ACT driver) in the same manner, as well as full chests and backs for multiple costumes. Nothing beats being able to print these in one piece. However, as you can see from the print, I had 3 layer shifts that kind of complicated matters a bit. Regardless of all the great things I've had to say about these files, I've been wavering on whether or not I want to go through with this build ever since I started it. Essentially, I traded some Mando armor I had lying around for a couple rolls of PETG, so of course, I had to print something and decided this was the thing I'd try. However, the abdominal section is by far the biggest piece, so I told myself that if it turned out bad, I'd cancel this project. Regardless of the layer shift, I was pretty happy about the end result. This is why we print in PETG. If this were PLA it would have snapped so fast. ABS has similar properties, but PETG allows you to work without having to enclose your printer. I might start printing armor in ABS later, but I just haven't felt the need to yet. The fit is pretty much perfect, but those stupid layer lines were still bugging me. So, the last thing I wanted to do is take a couple hours and just see if I could fix those errors. Ultimately, when I went out into the garage, I told myself that if it was looking like it was going to be more effort than it's worth, the build is off and I'm ordering a kit from Denuo Novo. Unfortunately, I was able to fix it. Lol. A little bondo and I guess this means the build continues.
