Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I use a snap system on my FX armor and it's fantastic. Takes me just a few minutes to put the armor on/off, they never pop, I never have to adjust them, and they never get tangled with each other like velcro. I tried doing snaps for my TE2 suit but the plastic is a bit softer and I'm not sure it can take the strain. Also, I'm having a hard time making snap plates with styrene. So... 1) Has anyone ever put a snap system on their TE/TE2? If so, which method did you use? 2) Can you mix/match plastics, e.g. use an ABS snap plate on HIPS armor? Lastly, if you're not doing snaps, what can I do besides velcro? I've seen one neat system where they basically used a strapping system but instead of snaps, the bases have a resistance slot where you can put a strap through. Thoughts? The armor's pretty much done, just need to get the strapping system figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
