More repairs today On my 2nd troop (I know, I know only 2 but child care is an issue) I cracked my right shin at the top at some point. Poormans fibre glass to the rescue! Same as I did on the bucket but now with added Billgram: I of course forgot to T the crack with a knife (again) but only after 2 layers of T-shirt and glue. This is a very thick reenforcement and the crack isn't moving at all any more. I also have glue covered fingers so am struggling to unlock my iPhone I'll leave this to go off completely and then sand back the repair as the little bits of fabric rise up and make little spikes that won't do the under suit any favours. My CO also recommended I trim down some of my returns so I'll be doing that before my next troop too.

On a DT but I'd be amazed if it's not the same stuff on the shores neck seal (which appears to attach direct to the under suit) Rogue One Death Trooper Reference CE 2016 by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr Bottom left corner, right of the webbing you can see a cut edge of the gasket material (not the under suit). It appears to be a cloth covered neoprene or rubber. This looks to be used for all the "rubber" looking gaskets and neck seal, perhaps in a different size. This has to be a commercially made material?

Just noticed: On that last image, zoom in look at the bottom left next to the webbing. You can see some cut gasket, it's fabric covered neoprene/rubber.

The boots are certainly DMs (that sole is pure DM) but not Talib or Mayer. Those are the closest 2 but the seam around where the top of the shoe isn't there and also the rear tab isn't right. Rogue One Death Trooper Reference CE 2016 by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr Rogue One Death Trooper Reference CE 2016 by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr These are photos I took at CE on the Sunday. Click through to be able to see and download at high res. Also the gaskets are fabric, not rubber. If you zoom in to the rear knee you can just about see the texture. It's sort of a waxy finish cotton looking fabric. The under suit looks to be the same jersy material as used on the shore trooper with a 3d mesh arm pit vent. Rogue One Death Trooper Reference CE 2016 by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr That image shows all 3 fabrics if you zoom in on the high res version.

Talib was the closest I saw but still not quite there. The seam around what would be the top of the shoe is missing, and I've not seen it on any of the current range which is disappointing.

Just a case of figuring out which ones now.

There's a whole bunch of reference I took on my flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/themaninthesuitcase/albums. All are available for download at full resolution, there where taken with a D700 and a SB-900 flash so quality should be better than a phone picture I'm new to reference photography and now I'm wishing I spent longer on this but: A: I over heated the flash. It was dark and was firing on full power most the time I think. B: The eldest and wife were very much getting impatient with me. FTW I'm pretty sure the Death Troopers boots are Doctor Martins. Those soles are too recognizable for them not to be.

Looking good. Had a chat with Ross at the weekend lovely chap. He helped me with a few bits for my Anovos build, total and utter gent.

I feel all inadequate now with my diddle little printrbot play. 4x4x5. Lots of cut for me!

Would some one mind PMing me roughly what these are costing you for the models?

Just remembered I took a reference of the back pack with fill flash so you can see inside better. Rogue One Stormtrooper Reference CE 2016 by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr Looks like a direct mount to what ever the bag is, looks to be a bergen with a few extra packs.

As soon as I saw that I knew it was a found part, wonder how fast they become gold dust!

I had a look at these at CE at it's not corduroy. If I had to guess it looks similar to a jersey type of material hoodies are made from. Reference image: Rogue One Shoretrooper Reference CE 2016 by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr If you click through you'll be able to see the full res version on flickr, there's also more for the shore, death and new TK on there.

It can but the import costs and the size limits don't really make it worth it.

is that in ABS? I can only do PLA which won't be as tough.

They won't as it goes against their core beliefs, its explicitly listed on the ideas site. "i. Large or human-scale weapons or weapon replicas of any kind, including swords, knives, guns, sci-fi or fantasy blasters, etc." - https://ideas.lego.com/guidelines

I fall in to one of those labeled categories people throw around with out understanding what they mean, but yes I am very introverted by nature though there's a whole heap of asterisks after that. In the past I have been unable to talk even to a waiter or similar unless the interaction was initiated by them. Think they asked me what I want, but I couldn't ask them for a refill for example. Essentially a lot of social interactions people have by nature are learned behaviour for me and requires conscious thought to not mess up. Over the years I've taught myself ways to be able to interact more with people, and the internet has been a great enabler for me. The TK armour has taken this to new levels, not only am I meeting more new people I am able to interact with strangers that would have been impossible before. A lot is probably the anonymous nature of the bucket, some might be "I'm an imperial troop in the Galactic Empire" but with each troop I am getting better at being the trooper and not a mannequin. I guess this a long winded way to say I have a lot to thank the 501st, UKG and FISD for.

I can't see a downloadable file on there, I take it I need to approach the designer directly?

Over the last few days I've had a bunch of emails saying all the v1.1 cylinders have successfully printed in a couple of colours. If once you start receiving them you could let me know what you think that would be lovely.

Thanks for the tutorial on the lenses. I want to pick up a new casting (or 2) at some point and do this mod.

fair enough, though I'd ask.

Would you be willing to make the files available at all for those with their own printers?

Running a single fan (I've got mine individually switched) I got well over 5 hours. I do need to do a full test and see what I can get out of them.

If you prefer a sharper bend in the aluminium strip you can do it. If you just try bend it that sharp then the strip will snap. However if you cut a groove about 2mm wide half way through the strip it will bend easily and cleanly to a nice sharp bend. Thought I'd mention it as I can see this thread becoming a sort of defacto tutorial. Edit: The wider the slot the further you can bend. This is a 2-3mm slot: This is the width of a hack saw, so around 1mm:
