rduda Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Sorry I haven't posted any progress lately I have a lot done, but my work has slowed me down a bit but I'm so close!!! But today I'm taking the time to explore 3D printing some armor! I have found some Scout armor files all set up for printing, and several new helmets including death trooper and shore trooper. This ma take weeks to print everything but since the printer to I'm using prints in abs plastic I'm hopefull the skills on my current build will help me here. More to come today!!!!

rduda Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Were using a Maker Bot 3D printer here with ADS plastic set at a medium resolution. The first pice I printed is the front Top right side, took 2.5 hrs (wow! that was long) but the piece is a lot thicker and stronger than i thought it would be. The nose piece only took 40 minutes Small nose detail printed in a few minutes. and so did the pins to hold the mask. This project may take some time, there were over 12 pieces for the helmet and over 25 for the rest of the armor parts on the biker scout, and I only go to the school 2 or 3 times a month. Maybe I can find a student to print them for me and I'll pay him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 There's a lot of online services that are reasonably priced. I had my TKTalkie case printed at 3dhubs. Pointed me to a local printer and I picked it up the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlooperTrooper[TK] Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Very nice build! As a fellow Ohioan, I hope to see you at a troop as soon as I can get my own AM 2.0 kit complete. Really nice work on the helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hey Richard, coming along nicely. I would remove a good majority of the back plate return edge so its positioned better on your back http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31920-ukswraths-am-10-build/?p=418893 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduda Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I trimmed the back plate, that looks better now. I think I may have made my thigh armor a bit too tight.<br> So either I need to loose more weight faster or adjust, and by doing so I'm thinking increasing the back abs strip to be bigger. But that would make my armor in accurate. I'm mentally stuck on this problem, any thought would help me a lot, please comment and give me your thoughts.

rduda Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Started imperial tech and tie-fighter get up, got hat, jumpsuit and boots so far, suit I got from Amizon cosplay store and I'm surprised on how nice suit is!! I have short legs so the need altered a lot in the leg length. Edited June 14, 2017 by rduda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduda Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 So I got my tie helmet today, tubes and armor are a few days behind. It's from Planet Sith, hope it meets regulations once finished, but I think it looks sweet!!!! Front View Side View. I put my spare S tube on, saw on the certifications it was optional. Me in all my glory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduda Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Bucket is from Planit Sith, I think it looks really nice. It came with requested pain style and lenses and foam were already done when I got it. Packed good too no problems, today I get my jumpsuit legs altered and hopefully the armor and chest will come. Still waiting on some small pieces like gloves from wompa wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
