T21 3D printed build?

[Short4ATrooper]

Hi all,

 

Currently building a TX and have a T21 on order from ChrisHullProps. I’m struggling to find any WIPs of a build from 3D printed parts. All I’ve been able to find are either finished blasters applying for clearance or from scratch builds. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction so that I’m not completely clueless when my kit arrives please?

Hello and welcome aboard, I think there have been very little builds on 3D T21's on the forum so far, I think perhaps MEPD may be the place to search.

 

You may be able to use some reference build material from the T21 blaster section

Thanks mate, I think it’ll be a very slow build but I’ve had some practice with an E11 kit which went pretty well. I’ll do as much research as possible and look at plenty of reference photos. Hopefully that’ll help

Oh and sorry but what’s MEPD?

Thanks! Well, I searched the weapons section for T-21 and scoured through 3-4 pages of posts. No 3D print builds found so far. I think I might be on my own with this one. But the reference photos of what goes where should be enough to help and I’ll get a WIP going once it arrives too.

I would just advise to use a high fill in areas that could take a lot of strain, thinking of the length of some pieces and weight, you may very well want to do a combined print/pipe build and replace some of the 3D printed pieces, but see how you go.

 

Be looking forward to seeing your progress, good luck

Hi. I built a sandtrooper version of the T-21. My build has some reference pics if you are interested. I didn’t print the parts myself but I believe it has a 20% infill. It’s a good idea to up the perimeters as well. I troop with mine with no problems.

Sorry to derail, but Wook your new Avitar looks sensational!

Thanks very much, this’ll be very useful. Your T21 looks awesome by the way !

If you’re prepared to wait, Eelco at 3D Props NL has just started the research on a T21. Not sure if the files will only be available via his Patreon or for sale though.

Thanks but I should clarify - I’m not printing the files myself, I’ve ordered it as a kit from an Etsy seller (ChrisHullProps)

Ah, gotcha, I really need to learn to read good

It’s no problem! I appreciate all input. I’d honestly love to get a 3D printer, I just don’t have anywhere to put it. First world problems!
