Have you thought of adding a speaker jack so you can run a cable up your arm to and amp, I found this solves the problem of using quiet small speakers. I do this will all of my weapons, really stands out at a noisy convention

You can't see the walls in my bedroom due to the amount of suitcases and helmet bags, there's also a shelving system with 3 x 3D printers, I don't have much room to move Coming to the conclusion I may need to start culling soon and look at selling a few costumes, I just don't wear them all as much as I should.

It's all about the research, although the CRL's are full of information they don't always have all the specifics needed to complete a build, hence referencing the gallery sections or having a build thread to receive feedback is the way to go. There's no such thing as a silly question, there are only silly mistakes from not asking Doing great mate, looking forward to seeing the progress

I have the seat covers and the steering wheel cover but we never got the mats here down under. There are some days I just hate not being in the US, was stalking a "the child" Christmas inflateable yesterday, $29 in the US at Wallmart , found online and with shipping works out $130 landed here

Jeff's AM 4.5 TK commissions build (stunt)

Great news BBB finally arrived, shame about the fit but purchasing ready to wear sometimes needs some tweaks, better the armor is too big than too small, looking forward to seeing the progress -
The BigJasoni's ROTK 3D Print Build Thread
gmrhodes13 replied to BigJasoni's topic in Rogue One Build Threads
This is excellent news, congratulations and welcome to the ranks trooper. The more and more I print and the worse my arthritis in my hands is getting I'm realizing I have to suck it up with the print times and go for finer prints, less initial work, less sanding, normally 3 coats of spray putty (primer filler you guys call it) and a sand wet with 240grit and most prints are done. Very rare I need to use blade putty but having to wait 2 or 3 times longer for prints really sucks, hope we see some cheaper large resin printers in the not too distant future, those things will reduce the work. Well done once again -
Nice work, looking good, some times you have to walk away for a while, ears can drive you to drink

Hello and welcome aboard, good luck on this journey, it can be a very rewarding one.

Plate will be fine, you could trim a little off the pipe length if you really wanted but you can just leave it as is, from the CRL The total length is approximately 7.50" (190.5mm). When ever possible we try to supply accurate references, some of these measurements though are generalized for the CRL's
-
The holes are fine as they are for now, it's just my OCD
-
Does look like it's not quite in the right spot, almost looks like the bottom of the ear has been twisted
-
Looking good, holes could be closer to the end of the brackets but not a deal breaker for basic approval , also don't round of the corners
-
If you do need to modify the sides, some of us use heat guns for shaping ABS plastic BUT this comes after A LOT of practice, ABS plastic can go from soft to molten mess in the blink of an eye. Some have had success shaping pieces with a hot water bath A few threads on heating armor

Photo of you wearing the back pieces will help Some references

Question about fan noise and speed
gmrhodes13 replied to Shinyarmour1's topic in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters
I use separate battery packs and only use one fan at a time, even on a 39deg C day one fan was enough, as long as your screen doesn't fog and you can feel air across your face you are set. As for noise I have my fans in front of the ears, you can hear some hum from the fans more so when fully charged. I prefer a separate battery pack for two reasons, one having one fan is enough for me and two you have a reserve just in case your first fan runs out of juice, this can happen at long troops. -
Good morning Troopers.. Steps to my passion.

I find with most makes that you have to apply a little heat to the shin closure to get them to sit a little flatter.

Great news on receiving your BBB looking great, just swap that holster over to your other side It's one of those things with commission builds, they are not always perfect fit the first time, it's better to have slightly larger than too small. Removing coverstrips then trimming down your thighs and perhaps your shins will fit you better. Many of us skinny folk still need some foam in places, you can't always trim completely to your frame as pieces would then look too small. I have foam behind my chest, in my thighs and forearms. Bit hard to tell without a full arms down front image but appears your shoulder bells may be a little large too. A few tweaks and you'll be approved in not time.

Also when ever in doubt head to the Gallery Section, lots of great screen references there

A couple of references
