Well, I more meant how much it would cost to have someone else print it, but I talked to Dutch Props and he's offering to print it himself. But thanks!
Are the greeblies in the pilot suit leg pouches the same as the ones on Han's jacket? They appear to be similar/identical (just scaled up), but I wanted to double check with some experts before I look into getting them modeled and cast.
They're close, but not exact. I have a run planned to do Han's, both in aluminum AND printed versions, but there appears to be zero interest so far. (I'm guessing because not that many Han jackets are in the hands of people yet.) Seeing as they are so similar I could have the machinist do Poe cylinders in metal as well. They look bigger than those on Han's jacket though.
Perhaps they used the same pieces and just stuck them into larger piece in order to make them bigger overall. Or they just scaled them up xD
Vacuum forming is the easiest way, a print won't be clear enough. You could buy a pair of orange tinted safety goggles and cut them up.How are people planning to handle the visor on the print? I actually started a model of my own that I think I'm going to finish anyways (slowly mind you). I'm going about some things a different way than DutchProps and it's a fun exercise. I have access to a Makerbot replicator 5, but haven't the faintest how to handle clear tinted visor outside of vacuum forming, which I don't have access/ability to do. Me and 3D printing are still learning to be friends, admittedly.
I would vac the visor aswell.
just print it up. finish, back it with free form air or bondo it in.

Hi and welcome. Discussions about buying/selling must be kept in the classified section of the site. (The FAQ contains a lot of good info that will help you get used to posting.) Please keep all such discussions there. The run thread can be found here.Hi, I'm new to this forum, but I have been reading posts as a guest for a while.
I could be interested in a set of three Han Solo greeblies, I'd prefer solid aluminum but that depends on the price, the shipping cost to Germany and the possibility to pay via PayPal.
It was suggested to me for the visor to use some transparent amber perspex or something similar (the brand suggested to me was Lexan but I'm not 100% sure where to find it in Australia) and form it with a heat gun. Thoughts?
