Agree with Glen, 12v fans will run a 9v battery flat pretty fast. 5v and the AA batteries are the best alternative and should run for approx 6 hours non stop. I use rechargeables personally.

I'm yet to see something accurate enough in OT files, there are some available but not worth the spend.

This all sounds very promising. Vacuum pots aren't too expensive for a small that would easily fit scopes mags and many of the smaller parts, and I'm sure well worth the quality difference. I'd happily pay more for bubble free casts that require less time to clean up Cant wait to see some product and pricing.

How do you intend to strap your armour? If using the bracket system as the originals did, you will need to leave some return edge at the bottom of the chest and back pieces, as well as the top and bottom of the kidney plate and top of the ab and butt plates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tremendous work !!

It would be really great Bryan, if you could add to your first post, what printer you are using and some of the settings you chose for this print. Layer height Print speed Print temp for the material you used, and any basic info you think will be of help to others that may attempt this print. Keep up the great work, and you really should consider cross posting this in our 3D section too.

Awesome!! Take that house number painter guy

Nice work Heston.

Sorry to hear your armour is no longer operational Candido. Generally after a year if you do not log in to FISD you will fall off the roster which means you can no longer vote for FISD candidates in the Detachment election. One of our Administrators can deactivate your account if you feel it is necessary. I wish you all the best sir

Looking good, are you going to paint it up and use as a trooping blaster or just for fun piece? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At last count, what number are we at that have received the FO armour from Anovos? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Ian, you look great, but I would like to resonate what has already been mentioned. Most look like basic dressing issues which should be very easy fixes. I believe there are 3D files available to print a replacement cod piece, if I can remember where I saw this, I’ll let you know, or perhaps fashion one from ABS yourself as Glen did.

RT-Mod. It was made to suit larger troopers, and can be found on the vetted makers list Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Some pretty cool detail for a toy.

Like Alay, I have built multiples of both kits and each has their pro's and cons. The AP of which I own is thicker than the RS kits Ive worked on, and is definitely a different white. AP has changed the ABS they use in recent years so those kits seem whiter again than their older version. AP: Pulls are still pretty darn good and not as soft as some others makers out there, but the RS kits are a touch more detailed. The stand out differences are The helmet as mentioned, AP is a cleaned up version but still cast with movie lineage as is most of the suit. The Ab plate is also cleaned up and I believe cast from an RotJ suit originally. more symmetrical and aligned. The fore arms and Biceps are identical as the suit cast from was missing several pieces, these are a cleaned up version. Both shoulder Bells are identical. Originally the back and butt plates were joined but Mark has since separated these and uses individual molds. Overall AP is a more sanitized version but a very hardy and quality kit. RS: Not as white as the AP kits pulls are sharp as the ABS is not as thick. The Helmet is full of original detail all paint runs etc bumps and lumps very visible. Most of the suit is cast from an original so both the arms are different from each other. (number of dimples along the ridge of forearms and differing length, different shaped biceps) Ab plate: is slightly twisted and asymmetric compared to AP Legs both have a fair difference in shape around the top. Shoulder bells are both different in shape. There are more differences but I think you get the idea you cant go wrong which ever you decide, cleaned up idealistic, or warts and all original they both look impressive.
