From a cursory glance it looks broadly ROTJ based like many of the games are. Helmet possibly ANH, proportions are a shade off on that and a few other bits. Plus there’s a few odd ball bits and pieces here and there. If this is something you’d seriously like to take forward then we can speak to LMO about getting it going.

FISD flash logo coaster File-Name: FISD.3mf Last Update: 02/2025 Description: A simple coaster featuring the FISD Beret Flash logo as it's the simplest to print well. This is a 2 colour design, so you will either want a multi colour capable printer, or you're going to have to do it by hand. The black is only 2 layers thick, so it's only 3 changes which isn't unreasonable. Print face down to get the best look, a textured plate will give a nice finish. I also backed the example print with adhesive EVA foam. File is from Orca slicer, but it's just a 3mf so should work in all slicers that support it. Terms of Use: Nobody is allowed to sell these. There is no permission to recast and resell this design. You can print it for yourself, for your friends, garrison or squad mates, but you have to give it away. No money involved 👍 Image: Printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.2 will probably be able to manage the trigger and other details better but not tested. Maybe try "detect thin walls" if that is an option.

Just took a Quick Look and there are no CRL entries for these atm so will need to go via LMO. That said weapons/accessories text is usually pretty minimal and these aren't too dissimilar to the FO ones, which could be used as a start point.

I like the trick with the elastic to webbing join. Not seen that before, clever.

Wow! Love a comprehensive build thread. Looks like you’ve been making some great progress. Cape looks great too. Love the bags I’ll need to make something a bit like them for my First Order build. Will also have to look into that sanding box. The amount of sanding dust over my work space says I need to!

Congratulations Trooper!

2026? So when some one new gets in?

Looks fantastic, good luck

Thank you every one. Another year of service.

If you look at the shape of the shins, as shown by the red lines, close you can see that it follows the natural leg shape too. It's just far more subtle.

The shins on Anovos was a fun exercise in working out. As stated you cant trust the markings. The way I found it easiest was to look at the line at the bottom if you look at the image in Glens post you can see the sides have a bias at the bottom when in the right place so that the "bigger" side is on the inside.

I've sent you a message with details of what the issue is and how we can look at resolving it.

I am on my phone at the moment but I can make manual updates until end end of the nomination period. I’ll have a look either later this evening or tomorrow for you and message you directly with the result.

For an Original Trilogy Stormtrooper I would highly recommend getting a vac formed kit. It will be far less work, more accurate and probably cheaper too. For a First Order Stormtrooper there's a couple of options I believe for files. Again a lot of work to do this. You'll really want something big as its the seams where you join parts that end up being the biggest headache. Glens FDM suggestions above look like solid picks, I have no large printer experience. You could go resin but start adding 0s in material costs (especially if you pick the more suitable tough resins) and the machines get pricy fast as well once you get past the "Saturn" size class.

Green lighting gel is also an option, which IIRC is what the screen used suits used. Very light, flexible and easy to cut. Not super robust though if that is an issue.

They can send me the questions and I'll either answer or find someone who can.

As a quick guess and glance I'm guessing it's you need to set STRIPE1 in Config.h to match your blaster.

Sounds like Kevin has had a really rough few years. I hope this enables him to regain some stability in his life.

I can't even think how much work that must have been! Well done trooper!

Welcome to the FISD!

That doesn't look to be ribbed enough to my eyes. It's just a knit.

I have Anovos which isn’t the thickest of armours. I didn’t do anything ahead of time but as cracks develop I’ve been using bits do an old shirt and superglue to “fix” them. Essentially the same idea as fibreglass. I cut a small section of white cotton from a tshirt a small amount larger than the crack. Put a small dot of glue on the crack and place the material where you want it. Then flood the material with glue. This goes hard in about a minute. It does put out a lot of fumes so goggles are smart. In theory you could also use an epoxy glue too but you’re now looking at an hour or so. Whereas I’ve fixed armour mid troop with the superglue method. Storage for me for a long time was a big Stanley box but it’s a huge thing to keep around or transport so it’s currently in the shed. My armour is in a suitcase. A slightly larger one would be nice but they can be just as expensive as the trunks.

I have issues with Chelsea boots due to my foot shape, which amongst other things include a small (though significantly smaller) bump on the top of my foot. I have to size up a lot to be able to wear them. I am a UK 10.5 but for my TK boots I have a UK 12 (US 13) to be able to wear them. Is this an option at all? It's a bit like walking around in clown shoes but I've gotten used to it as almost no "correct" size shoe fits me.

I am sure @jsilvius can help with that.
