I just cancelled my Anovos FOTK and went with KB Props. My biggest reason is guys in my garrison told me the Anovos armor isn’t very sizable to anything but guys who are fairly thin. So if you have any girth, large arms, legs etc. it’s probably not going to fit well. Also they are slow. They currently promised delivery on these kits since March 20, 2018 and none of us have seen any movement (this is one of many delays they’ve had)

Well it’s decided. I cancelled my Anovos armor kit. I found that they aren’t forgiving enough for my body build. So I’m probably going to go either KB Props pet-g armor or Jim Tripon. that being said I need the belt and pouches. What are the best recommendations?

Tonight.

Just got my Gaskets, harness, and Neck Seal from Geeky Pinks and wow! I'm so glad everyone convinced me to do so. They are absolutely amazing in quality and comfort! @Soulartthank you so much for your service! I can't wait to get my armor and get going with this!

I wasn’t liking the twisty leds in the f-11d because they don’t exist on the screen and I wanted to have the blaster look like it can be turned on and off. So I took to building new internal electronics. thanks to radio shack and some odd shaped drill bits I now have some finished electronics for this blaster.

Imperial Boots for the win! https://imgur.com/a/s375M

Correct no undersuit or neck seal. That being said if the gaskets are rubber like the original suits you’re going to die of heat. I went with Geeky Pink’s gaskets, neck seal, and harness.

Last steps of my blasters were the following 1. Holster Screws...done 2. Magnets to hold the boxes on the F-11D...done. https://imgur.com/a/Aayld 3. Electronics for F-11D...cables, LEDs, resistors. Just need solder tools and a usb battery pack that will fit in the blaster then to drilling the space out and putting that together. Dan’s holster came in and it’s awesome! Going to get it painted and ready for mounting to the armor. Then from here it’s just waiting.

Thanks! I'd say for a first time messing with 3D printed designs and getting them more screen accurate it turned out well. I purchased some heavy duty fabric tape off amazon and used it for the grips on the F11-d as well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07456SBM4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Makes for a nice feel on the grips and should hold pretty strong. The last bits I'm going to do in finishing this will be getting internal electronics to put in place. I'm thinking of building my own LED light electronics that will use a USB battery pack for power. Then I'm getting a few magnets to hold the side boxes in place. This way I can better access the lights should there need be maintenance. The SE-44c still has the plastic "fake" bolts for the holster. Once I get my holster order in from Dan (see below) I will saw those off and screw the holster hardware in place instead. We're getting there. Now just the waiting parts.

That guest post was actually me lol.

Finished SE-44c. I added real toed screws for detail instead of the 3d printed screws. https://imgur.com/gallery/m5PgJ

White paint down. Black paint tomorrow. https://imgur.com/gallery/GS5Tj

Just finished the wet sand of the filler and primer. Here’s the SE-44c https://imgur.com/gallery/jQGKZ F11-D to come after drying.

First spray down with some automotive primer. Most likely going to get another can and throw a second coat on. https://imgur.com/gallery/4LCLC

https://imgur.com/a/FkPSS now to spray with sandable primer to get it all filled in and smooth. Then I’ve got some automotive paint for the finish. Rustoleum brand. Satin white and Matte Black. will gather photos going forward.

Yeah just did that. Link for the images is active. Post sanding images coming.

Looks like photobucket wants me to pay money. Any better way to put them on here without paying tons?

Just ordered my Boots and gloves from imperialboots.com I also ran across this in another forum I'm going to put here for future reference as well. I think it will be something I do with my helmet liner: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JDQ3P18/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got my F11-D and SE-44C they are really great quality for the price. I’m going to be sanding down the 3D print lines though and doing some repainting afterward so I can get them even closer to screen quality. But based on what I’m seeing of pricing for other options it’s going to be the best option unless you jump to a $400 ready made resin blaster of sorts.

Just got my F11-D and SE-44C from Heston Solutions on Etsy. Quick review, For 3D printed material and the price they are fantastic. That being said, there are definitely the expected things with 3D printing such as need to sand down rough edges, not as precise in details, not as screen accurate. I would also venture to say that these blasters aren't the most accurate on Etsy at this time. However price considering they are much more cost effective than the Resin blasters fully finished. This set ran me $150 on sale, where the Resin blasters run $400-$500 I've seen for the F11-D alone. I'm going to try sanding them down a bit, but suspect down the road i will be upgrading to more screen accurate blasters. I'm hoping I can at least troop with these for the mean time.

Yeah I ended up changing my mind after reading and hearing about the original gaskets. I've got an order for gaskets, neckseal, and harness from Geeky Pinks Phantastic Gaskets.
