File Name: Galactic Empire (LED) Lantern Designer: 11Parsecs Last Update: 18/10/2025 File/Link: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1897528-galactic-empire-led-lantern-no-ams-no-glue?from=search#profileId-2033167 Description: Introducing G.E.L.: Galactic Empire Lantern v1! Even the Dark Side needs a little light sometimes! Inspired by adventures (and awesome set design) in a galaxy far, far away, this easy-to-print Galactic Empire Lantern requires no AMS, no supports, and no glue (depending on printer tolerances, you may opt for a drop of super glue to secure the magnets in place). Designed to simply fit together without any adhesive, all you need are your preferred filament colors, eight 5x2mm magnets, and a Bambu Lab RGB Puck Light (KC007) or equivalent. This super portable lantern measures 6" tall by 3.25" wide and makes for a great night light or just a fun ambient/mood light. After some experimentation, strong recommendation to use a white or light color for the internal light diffuser to make the most of the RGB LED colors. Supports are not required for the Galactic Empire sheath, but, as always, it does help to print at higher quality (and/or slower) for better output. NOTE: The 3mf includes two different options for the top – one is blank (situated with the other components) and the other includes a Galactic Empire logo. You only need to print 1 to complete the lantern. There are also unique print settings for the diffuser that are enabled if you use the designer profile.

Model Details There are 3 print profiles, one for the Bambu Lamp Kit, one for the Bambu Puck LED and one for the optional power bank case. Both the Bambu Lamp Kit version and the Bambu Puck LED version are suitable for using an LED strip light if you desire. The power bank case is designed with the listed power banks in mind but a .step file has been provided if you wish to modify to suit a different type/size power bank. If you are not going to use the power bank case ('Power Generator') then its recommended that you use the Bambu Puck LED or a LED strip light as the Bambu Lamp version requires you to place the switch on the cable (in the on position!) inside the emitter and use the power bank to turn the light on and off. See image below: If you choose to use the Bambu Lamp Kit or the Bambu Puck LED it is recommended that you apply some foil tape or tin foil to the inside front area of the emitter to help with light transmission/backlighting to the control panel.

Need Help Ask the Deployment Officers Advance to 1500 Advanced Tactics Awards Newsletter Editor Staff List 2025 Follow FISD Andrew Ledford , TK 22308 and a dear member of the Georgia Garrison, passed away peacefully while surrounded by his loved ones on Sept. 10, 2025. Andrew joined the 501st in Nov. 2015 and was an active Stormtrooper and Tie Pilot for many years while serving his community as a Special Agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations. Andrew's work as a Special Agent focused on the agency's Firearm training and he often helped provide us with real world handling suggestions in proper blaster etiquette. Andrew served as COG (Captain of the Guard) for several command staffs over the years and he often could be found visiting children's hospitals and marching in parades. His calm and reassuring presence helped bring comfort to children and smiles to their faces in times that they had little to smile about. We will all miss Andrew's words of wisdom, but also his one liners at group lunches and after troop get togethers. We would be hard pressed to find a better brother to follow in how to fully live our daily lives. Condolences to his family and friends "Buckets Off" Greetings troopers! This month saw the launch of the new CRL system replacing the aging wiki we've been using for years. This has been a huge amount of work for everyone involved across the legion teams. 100s of hours have gone into this to get it up and running and then migrate all of the CRLs to the new system. We only have 22 CRLs that needed to be moving but IOC have a huge 60 and the Clones a staggering 193 which took a number of people working to get moved over. Check it out here if you've not seen it yet: https://crls.501st.com Now that this completed the freeze on new CRLs should relax and the LMO can begin to work through the backlog of new to the Legion CRLs including Enoch. There's no time lines on this but I look forward to hearing on progress, be that positive news or not. It's also Census season. This is a small but important admin job all of us need to complete each year. It should only take you 5 minutes and will save your GML a lot of hassle chasing you, or if less charitable marking you as reserve for failing to complete on time. Make sure you look up our guide here: With Unquestioned Loyalty Chris Pearson TK-10991 "themaninthesuitcase" Detachment Leader Greetings and Salutations Troopers! Welcome to the "ber" months For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it's time to start seeing some cooler temps. I for one am looking forward to wearing my FISD hoodies again. On to the merch stuff! Old Business "FISD EIB Coins" I am down to the last 2 EI coins for this style. The next EI coin will more than likely be whatever design we do for our 20th Anniversary, so if you are eligible to order an EI coin, and you don't want to wait until 2026, or you prefer not to have an Anniversary coin, please look into it. In order to buy one, you have to have an approved EI costume and you can not have ever bought an EIB coin from any pervious runs. EIB coins are a once and done coin. If you have this one and would prefer one of the older versions, I may have an option for you so please dm me. EIB v11 coin run is still open This run is closed. If you haven't received yours, it is more than likely because you haven't paid for the shipping. Please DM me for more information. You can learn more about the run here Pin Run The interest thread for the pin run for Expert Infantry, Centurion and Attaché is still up. You can find more information here. Flag and Banner Run We are still working on the standard flag run, and hope to run it with the Member Designed "War Banner". Which leads me to the Member Design Contest. We are still asking for "War Banner" designs for this item. Members that are interested in submitting a design will post their work in The "FISD "War Banner" Design Contest" thread in the Detachment Merch section of the forum. This contest will run until the end of September, at which time the Command Staff will pick a winner. As with our other design contests, the winner will receive bragging rights, this MBO's gratitude, and flag of their design, courtesy of the FISD Command staff. Details of the contest can be found here. NEW BUSINESS Helmet Bag Interest Thread We've been kicking this idea around for a few months, and we finally found a vendor that was willing to try and help us. We gave specs, and graphics, and they produced a sample product that was sent to me for evaluation. The proof of concept is missing some things, but I was giving swatches of the real materials that would be used. There is a list of corrections, including changes in the size to make sure it was tall enough to fit a FOTK, covering the zipper so not to scratch the finish on the helmets, more padding, nylon strapping for the handle, etc. But we wanted to get folks thoughts before we proceeded any further.

It is the responsibility of all 501st approved members to fill out the census each year which you can find here (to enter use your legion forum login and password) You must be registered on the main forums to participate in the census:here Here's what the charter says about activity definitions: Operations Protocol/Membership An Active Member is defined as a member in good standing who meets the following requirements: Meets all 501st Membership Requirements (i.e. ownership of an approved costume, is over 18 years of age, etc). Has an approved membership record in the 501st Legion Membership Database Maintains active contact with their CO or GML. Active contact and participation will be confirmed during the annual Legion Census held each year during the month of October. Maintains contact information/membership record in the 501st Legion database either through their CO or GML. Participates in at least one Garrison or Legion activity per year while wearing an approved 501st costume owned by said member as recorded in the Legion Census. One year is defined as the period from Legion Census to Legion Census. Examples of an activity include, but are not limited to conventions, charity events, or any activity designated as an official event by a coordinating administrative unit of the Legion. Members who serve in military branches are exempt from activity level requirements if their service renders them unable to meet these requirements. These Minimum Activity Level Requirements should be administered as justly and with as much common sense as possible. A member may retain active status, even if they do not meet all of the requirements listed above at the discretion of their unit Commanding Officer or Legion Command. Filling out the census only takes a few minutes and you also have the opportunity to update your contact information ie: address, email, phone and so on. Any questions you have in regards to the census please contact either your GCO (garrison commanding officer) or your GML (garrison membership liaison) Census form layout With the last forum update the viewable area of the census may not be full page, as such change your page magnification to 75% and you should be able to see the whole page. Note: make sure you tick the box "Is the above information correct?" please tick YES Census guide in PDF https://www.501st.com/members/501st-Census-FAQ.pdf How to log in legion forum: https://www.501st.com/forum/download/file.php?id=18773 Any problems with the logging in please contact the LWM team here: [email protected] What is detachment affiliation https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/43940-what-is-detachment-affiliation-and-why-is-my-info-not-correct/ So stand up and be counted troopers, you have until 31st October OK so you look at your Legion profile and it shows that your detachment affiliation to FISD is pending, or otherwise incorrect. Why does this happen, and what is detachment affiliation anyway, and what will FISD do about it? The answer is that detachment affiliation is only ever used once a year, and for one purpose. The only time the Legion ever uses it for anything is to determine who can run for DL and who can vote in detachment elections. That's it. Otherwise it is pretty much ignored and not used for anything. The process of validating detachment membership is cumbersome and time consuming because people use different email information between their Legion and detachment logins, and that there is no way to bulk update the rosters. For a small detachment it is not a big deal to do this manually, but for a detachment the size of FISD with hundreds and soon thousands of 501st members, it's impossible. Fortunately we have technical folk both on FISD and in the Legion web team. Once a year they take a feed from FISD's database and do a bulk update on the Legion database. This occurs right before the election cycle starts and is done once per year. Pro tips: 1) Ensure the email address you use on the Legion & FISD boards are the exact same. 2) Ensure that your FISD profile has the correct TKID. 3) IMPORTANT! You MUST be in the right security group. It should be "501st Stormtrooper" in order for the automated system to pull you over. This thread is where you get your detachment access updated. 4) If after the bulk update is complete and your profile is still not updated, and you are 100% sure your info is in sync between the two boards, then ask for to the Legion web team. They should get feedback on why this isn't working. 5) If all else fails, ping the FISD staff. Which basically means that we'll simply tell the 501st web team to bulk approve everyone 6) If still you have no luck you can contact the legion web team directly via email: [email protected] To check detachment affiliation go to the 501st holocron here, login using your 501st forum username and password, click on YOUR PROFILE DATA, then look down the lower part of the page for YOUR UNIT AFFILIATION, then under DETACHMENT AFFILIATION. If you do not see FISD listed reach out to your GML (garrison membership liaison) as they can add it if you are an approved Stormtrooper. If FISD shows as PENDING it will usually become approved before legion elections begin each year as this is an automated process, if you find it has still not change before legion elections please contact our DL Chris @themaninthesuitcase he may be able to do a manual update. Legion Updated CRL Database is Live Hello 501st. For many years our CRLs were hosted on Wiki. Late last year this became unsuitable with many issues popping up. Today I'm pleased to announce our new CRL domain for CRLs. https://crls.501st.com/ I would personally like to thank the web team, Detachment staff, LMOs and all those that have assisted in what was a monumental task. Any issues: Legion Membership Team [email protected] Legion Web Team [email protected] Kris Kobus Legion Membership Officer Lead Bring on the new CRL's INFORMATION & AWARD PROGRAMS For a full list of FISD awards programs head here. *Now Available in Swedish* Want to spread the word about FISD?, you can with our FISD Tri-Fold Brochure. Originally these were done in a limited run by the member who created them, but nowadays, we have moved this to a print your own service making them accessible to all countries around the globe. Files are available to all full 501st members on request by contacting our DL Chris @themaninthesuitcase you can find more info here Currently Available languages: English - Spanish - German - Swedish Are you new to the FISD and wondering what the heck all those abbreviations and strange sounding terms mean? To help you @justjoseph63 has started a list of the most commonly used ones that will give you some insight. If you have ANY questions about a particular term that is not listed or suggestions for new ones please contact Joseph. You can find the list here. Pre Approval Forum allows future Troopers the opportunity to submit photos of their completed build to be reviewed by the Staff, Imperial Attaches and others in preparation for forwarding it to their GML for approval. Any and all advice/suggestions given will be specific, constructive, helpful and respectful. Please note that this program will NOT take the place of your local GML, as Detachments are not chartered for costume approval and can not override a GMLs decision, but is instead a peer review program designed to help you look your best and offer guidance and positive feedback. For more information on this program, please visit the link here. Don't forget to visit our 3D section when next surfing the FISD forums, there is plenty of useful information to potentially help you on your next TK adventure.

Members of the I.A. team are chosen to help out not only those here on the boards, but on a local level as well. Our aim is to have at least one in each and every Garrison, Squad and Outpost in the entire legion to be the eyes and ears of the FISD on a local level. If you are a 501st approved Trooper who wishes to join the ranks of the Attachés, please get in touch with me and/or visit: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/15252-fisd-attaché-program/ For a complete list of Imperial Attaches, go here. Some of the benefits include: Access to exclusive Attaché merch, including patches. You may also be in the running for an Imperial Attaché Award. An award for those attaché's who have gone above and beyond [minimum 1 year of service]. You can find a list of prior recipients here. Imperial Attaché Outstanding Achievement Award Is the Attaché position vacant for your Squad/Garrison/Outpost? Interested in becoming an Attaché? Contact me by PM or apply in the thread below: With Unquestioned Loyalty Jonatan Östling TK-23592 "Nairy" Attaché Ambassador Master Armorer Program FISD has many wonderful programs to help members build and submit costumes for our detachment, whether it be a classic Stormtrooper, a First Order Stormtrooper, or even one of the new Imperial Armored Commandos. While our Expect Infantry and Centurion programs get most of the attention, FISD staff wants to relaunch the Armorer Program (Currently called the Master Armorer Program). What is the Armorer Program you ask? Well, it is a program designed to recognize those troopers that go above and beyond to assist themselves and others in getting costumes built, submitted, and approved. One of the goals of all the detachments in the 501st Legion is to help members build and submit costumes that meet and hopefully exceed the minimum requirements of the Legion’s CRLs. Currently the Master Armorer program has the requirement of helping a minimum of 5 members achieve Expert Infantry status. The member must have spent at least 30min physically helping another member with cutting, gluing, sizing, etc, just because they want to help (no money exchanged). There are 3 levels of the award, FISD Armorer, FISD Senior Armorer and FISD Master Armorer. The new program will add a 4th level at the beginning called the Apprentice Armorer. The point scale will be as follows. 5 points - Apprentice Armorer 10 points - Armorer 20 points - Senior Armorer 30 points - Master Armorer If you love building armorer and love helping fellow members get their costumes built, then this is the program you’ve been searching for. We look forward to awarding more members with this award as we know how much we all love Troopers helping Troopers. More information can be found here Armorer Rocker Patches Rocker patches are now available for the Armorer Program, there is currently just the one patch, and members are eligible to receive two of them once they reach Level 2, "Armorer". More information can be found here Want to setup a "Fire Team? the Fire Team program is completely optional, and is intended to help form a common identity and spirit of camaraderie among 501st Legion Stormtroopers in the same geographic area/garrison that troop together. Fire Teams are not officially recognized by the 501st Legion nor the FISD, although they will be able to access a Fire Team sub-forum on the detachment website. You can find more information here. For those interested here is the original discussion on the creation of Fire teams here With Unquestioned Loyalty Mark Ryner TK-4584 "captsafe66" Fire Team Relations So what exactly are and levels? These programs were designed for those who choose to take their armor above and beyond the minimum requirements for basic 501st Legion approval. It gives you the chance to show a level of dedication and pride that takes your armor closer to being as "screen accurate" as possible, without as much extra work as you may realize! You can find more information on the programs here. For those unaware it is possible to achieve extra awards at Expert Infantry for each additional version costume you have approved, additional awards are not issued with another Expert Infantry number (you are only issued 1 Expert Infantry number) but you will see a star above the award on your profile and the thread title will show [APPROVED] 2nd, [APPROVED] 3rd, [APPROVED] 4th and so on. Multiple EIB award recipients and info here NOTE If you are approved with a "2nd Version" of a particular costume that you are already approved with you do not receive an additional award, there is only 1 award issued for each costume version ie: only 1 x Hero, 1 x Stunt, 1 x HWT, 1 x ESB, 1 x TFA and so on. If you have a second/additional version costume approved you will see "2nd Version" and [APPROVED] added to the thread title, no additional profile stars (more info on profile awards here) For those of you who have a particular issue (or issues) before or after submitting for Expert Infantry / Centurion level approval, in order to get you an answer faster you can now privately contact the entire Deployment Officer team at one time! Questions about fitting, repairs, CRL standards/requirements or anything pertaining to reaching Levels 2 and 3 are not only welcomed, but encouraged. Keep in mind that no question is too small, and that your queries will only be seen by the D.O. Staff. We are here to help in any way we can, so please feel free to send us a message by clicking on this link: @Deployment Officer Team and we will get back to you A.S.A.P.! More info here This area lists all those who have gone above and beyond basic approval toward screen accuracy and obtained EIB or Centurion or both.

File Name: Halloween Pumpkin Wars - Tags, Keyring, Magnets Designer: HMusza_pl Last Update: 09/10/2025 File/Link: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1867546-halloween-pumpkin-wars-star-wars-mag-and-key?from=search#profileId-1998418 Description: I placed a magnet and a keychain on one plate. The graphics are designed for 0.4 nozzles ;) (I've set it to a 10 x 2 magnet. But you can change that :) More below...) To improve the effect, I changed the technology as follows: - first layer line width: 0.28 - wall generator - Arachne - if you want a better color (the draft version is also great), change the rinse to 1.4 ;) I also recommend calibration and adhesive glue, but that's up to you ;) You shouldn't have a problem with that! You can modify the width and thickness of the magnet! Since there's a cylinder that makes a hole! Images:

This should help New to the legion costume info: https://crls.501st.com/crl-guide Good luck with the build

Many of the FOTK and ROTK are painted, just means you have to be a little more careful wearing and packing, I have soft pouches for all the armor pieces. Also try not to rub areas while wearing, like forearms on belt. Make sure you prep the surface so the paint has something to grip too, warm soapy water and wet and dry sandpaper, 400 grit, some prefer to use finer. Here's the paint code for FOTK Personally I used a basic white from automotive store, acrylic as it dries quicker and can be sanded polished, I find enamel paints a little soft and can take a while to dry. The paint I used also matched my helmet well. Some use Rustoleum white gloss, other Krylon white gloss

Have added all to 1 plate but you can also make full plates of these in no time. Have used glow filament and it brings these to a whole new level excited to see how everyone brings these to life and if you would like to sell these feel free to reach out to me here or at Humphr3D LLC group Images:

was just about to post that

You are better taking photos inside to cut down on shadows and light reflections, also use a blank background so it makes editing the images a little easier

Today I'm pleased to announce our new CRL domain for CRLs. https://crls.501st.com/ I would personally like to thank the web team, Detachment staff, LMOs and all those that have assisted in what was a monumental task.
