Bonus: College Graduation Photoshoot with my Bucket!

It was SO cool to see him in person this weekend Joey! Seeing you and the others walking around as the Ashoka Characters was awesome! You should also post your kit box somewhere if you haven't already because that was also so cool!

Beautiful!

Can't wait to see your Enoch in person this weekend Joey!

Amazing!! I still need to reprint another Lil’ Nairy as well to finish what I was working on with the holdable hologram

Hey, the Empire needs people of all shapes and sizes! It's also important to never say never! If you were to ask me a year ago if you I would have completed a full set of Stormtrooper armor, I wouldn't believe ya! But yet, here I am now!

I totally understand the fear of messing up weathering, because sometimes it can look a little off if there is TOO much weathering! But practicing on other projects like you said is great! You know what they say, practice makes perfect! Also, there is so much to learn when it comes to props and costuming and you build up to it over time!

I came across this and thought it might be beneficial for anyone who uses ELEGOO Branded Resin Printers since it's a popular brand of resin printer. ELEGOO Official Settings Recommendations This guide tells you recommended settings to use based on which ELEGOO printer you are using and what type of resin you are using in the machine. Probally not going to be entirely perfect, but could be beneficial to getting around the closer settings to get the perfect print. They do also have an Unofficial Recommendation guide from users which is located on the page the official guide is on. But it doesn't seem as detailed. https://www.elegoo.com/blogs/3d-printer-user-guide/elegoo-printers-resin-setting-sheet

Bonus: Small little me with Stormtroopers at Star Wars Celebration V (Orlando FL) in 2010 I came across some pictures of me (I'm the child) when I attended Star Wars Celebration V! It's funny how now I'm a stormtrooper. I hope that one day some child that I meet at a convention will be inspired to join us in the future!

It looks very cool in real life! I need to mess around with it more and make it not so bright. Had a busy weekend with Thanksgiving so haven't had the second I'm going to reprint as well since I just learned about a settings to make it more transparent which might look cool!

So I might need to trim off the base that came with the scan which should be easy enough Most of the glare of the light is because of my screen protector on my phone camera, but it is pretty bright nonetheless so I will add something to lessen that Larger statue Smaller statue

For sure! We can definitely work something out! The light pucks have arrived and I’ve messed around with them a little bit. They are REALLY bright, I’m going to try masking off some of the light so it isn’t as bright outwards and focuses more on the statue. Pictures in the next comment

Oh yeah! I work at the makerspace at my college and we had a guy laser cutting clear acrylic pieces which go into these. They look very nice and not a bad idea for a hologram. I actually ended up going with these puck lights on amazon. They are battery powered which is good for holding in my hand which will hopefully look nice in fun pictures and such. I'll post a picture once they come in and I mess around with it a bit! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RQMC2S2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Welcome! I know Wilmignton is relatively far from me, but hope to get a chance to troop with ya in the future!

Yep! That's the idea! Need to find a good light though. Someone I was talking to before who did something similar in the past got a puck light on Amazon.

Totally forgot to post a picture, but it turned out great! I've printed 3 so far. First one had a print bed issue, so you had a really flat foot. Second one was good, the last one I made larger sized.

Oh that's awesome! I have a resin printer with transparent blue resin which I've been wanting to use to make a hologram and this model would be perfect for it! I'll post a picture here once its finished printing
