Dex Sunrider Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Hi! Here Dex Sunrider. I'm making the sniper knee support to make it expert, but I don't know if it's well positioned. I'd be glad if you could help me with this. The armor is the SDS stormtrooper. Thank you.

TKSpartan[Staff] Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi David, as per the CRL states for leve 2 : OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin. You must remove and level up your Sniper Knee to get it aligned Hope this can help Hola David, según el CRL para L2 el Sniper Knee debe estar alineado con los bordes de al pantorrilla, en tu caso debes subir el Sniper para alinearlo.

Dex Sunrider Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) I thought in SDS in line wasn't so accurate. Fortunately, it wasn't stuck at all... Edited October 23, 2019 by Dex Sunrider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dex Sunrider Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Nice! So... Should I apply the ABS cement? Is it ok for level 2 approval? Edited October 23, 2019 by Dex Sunrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKSpartan[Staff] Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 It looks good to me , but consider that the D.O. Team , that is takes the final desicion would ask for minor changes or not. you can check some EIB SDS approvals to compare with yours. Here's the link Para mi en general esta Ok, pero el Equipo de revision podria, eventualmente, solicitar o No algun ajuste o correccion . Podrías echar una chequead en algun SDS aprobado en IEB. adjunto el link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helotech[TK] Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thanks for the shout outs Mario David (yay! Another Dave in an SDS...) Lining up the knee is a bit of a pain, but doable in the SDS. My link function to my Hero build is not working while on my work computer. Just go under my ANH Hero build, TK 98695. I lined up the center of the knee so it was perfectly level, so not angled low left to right. I clamped it temporarily without gluing. I then made sure the top left and right of the knee plate ran along the top edge of the calf armour as per the pics above. It won't be perfect, but you should be able to get close. I made a very light pencil mark on the front of the calf where the bottom edge of the knee would be. I then applied E6000 glue only to the MIDDLE portion of the knee, and clamped it in place and left it for 2 to 3 days to make sure the glue was set. After the front was glued, I glued the left and right "wings" of the knee plate down, and left it for 2 or 3 days. Hope this helps, and keep up the good work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take some pics showing the left/right side and the front amd make sure they are taken straight and not at an angle and also not so close up as the ones you already posted and I can have a look, from what I can see it looks like there are some glue to clean up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dex Sunrider Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Yep, it was glued, so now I'm correcting the position and then I'll glue again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helotech[TK] Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 It's better, but they still may pick you up on the angle of the knee from the front view. Maybe someone else can chime in? You may need to tilt up the left side of the snipe plate (as you are wearing the armor) Once you do that, you may have to trim the upper 1/4" edge of the sniper knee on the left hand side: The left and right top edges of the knee may not match, but at least from looking straight on or either side it would look good. Your knee has a vastly different top side profile than mine. I have a much higher top edge to my knee. Not sure why? Did you trim yours? I do like the thinner profile of yours rather than my "ski jump" looking knee, but I didn't want to trim mine as it is the only way it would work with the calf armor. Mine: Keep going. You're doing great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dex Sunrider Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I've cut the top of the knee return as it's said in the PDF, that's why it doesn't match at all. I'll try ti fix it but I'm afraid it won't change a lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may try by trimming all the return edge of the lower section, this will allow you to level the alignment. below is another SDS Approved EIB, you can compare Algo que suelen recomendar en muchas casos es quitar el return edge de la parte dabajo del sniper Knee para poder alinear mejor . Abajo hay otro EIB aprobado con SDS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKSpartan[Staff] Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 At this moment I consider It is ok, You can apply first for EIB and wait for the D.O. team, but need to clean better the right side. A mi criterio esta bien así, si no quieres correr riesgos , espera a presentar la solicitud de EIB y ver si te hacen otra correccion. Por lo pronto debes limpiar más los restos de goma del lado derecho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dex Sunrider Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 As I see in the other EIB approved armor, the knee is not aligned with the top and it's a bit curved in the frontal angle, not like mine, but a little bit. I'm trying to make the changes, but I think it doesn't pass the CRL. I will put the knee like the last attempt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKSpartan[Staff] Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) It's Ok. looks better . Just clean a bit the right side. Esta bien así, lija un poquito el lado derecho para quitar las marcas de goma. Edited October 23, 2019 by TKSpartan word correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
