30401s 3D printed Night Trooper Build Thread

[Flauschi[501st]]

Hello everyone,

 

This will be a build thread for a Night Trooper (NT).

The plan is to provide a more detailed look into the build process of an NT than is currently available and maybe support the creation of the accompanying CRL.

 

Despite this thread only covering the build of my armor, we are in general three troopers from the German Garrison's South Eastern Squad who plan to build Night Troopers: TK-30087 (Jochen), TK-55550 (Danny, who some of you might know :P), and myself, ST-30401 (Max, no TK yet). We are being supported by TK-22504 (Alex), who should be well known to people who were involved in or followed the development of the Ennoch CRL. 

 

As of now, we plan to print (most of) the hard parts ourselves based on the ROTK files from Akira-Yuming on CGTrader.com, which were also used by BigJasoni (TK-51923) for his ROTK. His build process of the RTK was also covered in a build thread in this forum. Below will be a list documenting the sources of files, and potentially other hard parts and soft parts used in the build. As of now, it is rough, rudimentary, and highly work in progress. It will be updated throughout the build process to serve as a collection of sources for the future.

 

• Helmet: to be determined  (We are currently considering the helmet files created by PPCDIGITAL available on Etsy. However, we have not yet had the chance to verify their validity.)

• Armor Parts: Akira-Yuming's 3D files.

• Other Hardparts: to be determined

• Soft Parts:

  • Neck Seal: to be determined  (Keep Trooping New Era Neck Seal being considered)

  • Undersuite: to be determined  (Keep Trooping New Era Undersuit being considered)

  • Gloves: to be determined  (Endor Finders Rogue One Trooper Gloves being considered)

  • Boots: to be determined  (Keep Trooping Trooper WHITE Boots being considered)

 

At the moment, I am planning to print the armor in ABS, as it is a material that allows for effective post-processing due to its high melting point. I am primarily using a Bambulab X1-Carbon for the printing. For larger armor elements, I will seek assistance since its printing space is somewhat limited.

Good luck with the build/s. I would definitely have a look through the ROTK section for printed helmet info, many appear to use Nico helmet

Awesome Max!, looking forward to watching this build progress.

 

The Nico files were considered pretty good back in the day for the Rogue 1 style Helmet.

Here is a build thread where the member explains some modifications they did to those files for assembly and accuracy improvements.

Also, if you haven't already, you check out our Rogue one resource section for several 3d files on helmets and armour parts. May be something here that could assists you.

ROTK helmet is what I used that was a rotomold. Just messing around in the shop
