JimmyC Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Awesome kit Tony, I got mine a while back too! While on topic.. would anyone benefit from this 3d model?: Personally, I don't have access to sheets of plastic and found it easier to print in ABS. or if I did a 3d model of the "metal" shoulder part? (Just a thought) Edited April 20, 2016 by JimmyC 1 Quote
fn32940[501st] Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 I would like the model Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
shadan[TK] Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 The shoulder part sounds interesting. Would it be strong enough for that purpose? Quote
JimmyC Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Here you guys go! https://goo.gl/Vkmu46 It's just one, because you flip it to print the other side. (or just print two and flip it over) 100% infill takes about an hour and 40 minutes per part. the final should be about 3mm thick, and at the longest part is about 5 1/2 inches long Also I did not try printing this is PLA, not sure how it would hold up.. The shoulder part sounds interesting. Would it be strong enough for that purpose? I'm not sure, I mean it just needs to hold two snaps and stick out a bit for the shoulder bell, so I don't see why not... I made a model of it but I need more white plastic to try it out. I'm not completely against the metal, I just like to look at other options. 1 Quote
shadan[TK] Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Yeah you are right. This might be more accessible to some people over a metal version. I think I'll give it a go. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Posted April 20, 2016 I first thought about using aluminum but realized 2mm abs is pretty strong, light and pliable. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Quote

JimmyC Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Tony, I just wanted to say thank you again for this wonderful thread. It has been a life saver, since the actual "instructions" suck... I finished up my Strapping system and it looks great; I'm waiting to paint the armor before I attach it. It's a slow process, waiting for a nice days and doing my best to get it done. With that said, here is that 3d model shoulder piece I made up from your instructions if anyone wants them here they are: https://goo.gl/k1g4WQ it's a bit thicker and doesn't actually need the off shoot piece to be bent. it's not perfect, all the holes are the same size but it works for me, thought I would share! 1 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Posted May 12, 2016 Hey James excellent job!!! Glad to be of assistance. Maybe you can make these for the masses Quote
