Jaehyc[TK] Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) In Sept I and my group of friends decided to make our own armor our only stated goal is "to make a repeatable process that results in 501st approved Stormtrooper armor". No big deal right. lol. What this means for us is to be in 100% control of all components pertaining to a complete wearable set of armor. My Part is to make the Vacuum Former which I am 50% done just waiting for my test plastic to come in to build the frame and tweek the process I'll use.

Jaehyc[TK] Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) We've had 5 project meetings for this. Pat is working with Pepakura to see if this will work for us. 3D Printer works well Brad and Craig are working on CAD Files its a ton of work. Our Project group is from top left Matt (He will make the hard molds from the plastic negatives) Me, Vicki, Pat, Brad, Kev (Working on Cloth Stuff) Craig and Stephane.

Jaehyc[TK] Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) ------------- First attempt at vacuum forming. used a plaster cast made from a 3D printed negative of the arm piece. Were planning to try to use a 3D printed cast next. Edited February 21, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
