TrekkinTrooper[TK] Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hey there Does anyone else worry having the snaps inside your armor eventually create bumps from repeated use? I thought of the following process after seeing some snap posts Take a piece of ABS and mark up a grid with a ruler: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170117/aa1c68202f7f2dc271c20ac7f771804d.jpg Then mark a hex so you can find the middle of each square: Then scratch up both sides for glue adhesion: Next create a base to hold the marked up ABS: Then using a spade big cut out the holes. I used another piece of wood to hold the ABS still. Eventually you have all the circles cut out: Take it back to your table and cut out the squares. I used score-n-snap but scissors are just as good: Glue to the underside of your snap: Most times I used 1 piece but sometimes I needed more. All in all they turned out well and now the snap has a cushion: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I heat up the plates so the snap is flush with the plate http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/20893-how-to-recess-press-studs/?hl=recess Couple of different ways here too http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/20999-howto-make-snap-plates-3-different-ways/?hl=snaps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
