I have been able to get good results with the SciFiHeaven chestplate, but I had to take a heatgun to it to get the best shape in places. I'm looking forward to seeing further comparisons. Just finished adjusting some Akira ones to give them a chance for better comparison, and got the new image set up as well. Quote
DavidF Posted July 29, 2024 Report Posted July 29, 2024 Fantastic, thank you! The PewPewCrafts chestplate just keeps winning. Do you plan to compare any other pieces? Quote

Do you plan to compare any other pieces? yeah pretty much every next piece that's in the print queue, next will be back plate. I am currently working on modifying the PPC chest to be much closer.

fernferro[501st] Posted June 9, 2025 Report Posted June 9, 2025 Just saw your post, @TheSweatshop want to see your work!!! ive bought some 3d files, and also think the chest and back from PPC are the best, i'm currently making an Tie Pilot R1 that's why im using those parts, maybe in the future ill make an TK. Ive bought the rubber straps from Moncal, ive printed them both in 100%, brushed with acetone/bondo, printed in two parts the back and the chest in 3 parts(on an ender 5plus) putted together with 2 part Epoxy sanded and this past weekend with resin, and reinforced in the inner side with an little of fiberglass. here's some pics of the wip https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WNYYhgJXncQUGYi4ZrnOxmM0iwDcaEl3?usp=drive_link i think i have to make bigger the O II parts just an little bit what do you think?

You may not receive a reply, according to our records Brian hasn't been on the forum since Jan this year. Here's the CRL photo for the RO Tie Pilot, as long as you are close to this you should be ok When it comes to posting images on forums many use a free online image host, like Imgur, great thread on how to use it here Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted June 11, 2025 Report Posted June 11, 2025 Also, to note his post has lost all of Brian's image links from Imgur, so he may have cleared those out. Quote
