MStalkid[TK] Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Hey all, So I figured I would start this as I have confirmation in quite a bit ha. This all happened a lot faster than I expected. What started as meer digging became a full build. Go figure! I don't have basically any photos as a lot is in transit ha. But here is what is going on, and going big so I'm doing it right the first time! Belt from JAFO is on the way Commissioned gaskets, harness and seal from Soulart My new aerator is coming from VaderPainters ImperialBoots has confirmed shipment of boots and gloves. Got on a wait list on the metal holster from R2Dan Basically all that is left is ordering my TLJ armor from Jimmi (going to happen soon) and get soft pouches. As for weapons I've started a scratch built Executioner Ax but don't have pics or much to show. I'm also 3d printing my blaster rifle (standard rifle) so have a teaser photo! 38 hours left on the first parts. Then I'll start the second grouping.

MStalkid[TK] Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I used to use photobucket...until the dreaded 3rd party money wall showed up. Guess it's time for a imgur haha. Also this just got REAL. My aerator showed up to my house!!! My first part of my kit is officially here. It's real now. This is crazy. Ha!

Yay BBB (big brown box) oh wait, IBB (itsy bitsy box). Well every piece adds up in the end I also use imgur and have had no troubles so far, it's really hit and miss with free hosts, any of them can start charging at any stage, I'm just cheap and don't want to pay for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MStalkid[TK] Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Got my Imgur all situated. So here's a photo dump for my 3d print stuff. Had to delete the first couple photos for space on here ha. I love this printer! Straight off the printer with no finishing. Looking like something!! Two more batches after this then smoothing (not that it needs much!!!!) Also got my order into Jimmi for my armor and TLJ bucket as well as pouches. Everything is basically ordered for this build! Sorry it's so 3d print heavy until more goodies show up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a finer nozzle that will enable me to go even smaller both diameter and layering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 You can adjust the thickness in your print settings, looks pretty fine, the finer the longer it takes to print but the less clean up and sanding you have to do. Looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good Yeah I have this set as fine as I can currently with the nozzle I have installed. If I changed my nozzle I could get an even finer thickness setting but double the print time ha. Just the "main" sections took 51 hours to print. 18 minutes ago, JAFO said: Terrific!

As these are I think all I would have to do is fill with a little bit of spot putty and then filler primer!! Should finish printing in the next couple of days. I was going to be competing in a cosplay contest at the local con but I just got my refusal letter. So more fun time with 3d prints for me! Maybe more goodies will show up and I can mess around with things till my armor shows up eventually 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
