Not that simple, unfortunately. 'Seamless' means, more or less, that if you sat the texture next to itself, it'd blend seamlessly into itself. IE the pattern would follow without interruption. Each part would match up with the duplicate texture etc. In this case I think you'd probably have to...

Tis very almost perfect! Seamless textures are a pain, but as you can see in this vid - the result of an almost perfect texture can bugger stuff up later on. IE the lines where one can see where the UV's meet. Not the hugest deal, and fixable with photoshop. But yeah, a quick vid to demonstrate...

Ask and ye shall receive. I'm fairly certain this'll just get washed out in the print. Looks great though!

Thanks for both of those examples, peeps. Here they are applied. If you wanna learn to do the same stuff, just google Zbrush Surface Noise. There are a number of vids, and its really only a few clicks worth of work once you have the model and UV's set up. Its output is a bit messy, and...

Hey! Thanks for all that advice, I'll take it into account for a possible run. So on the weave and the numbers of - there was a reason I went slightly larger: a completely game accurate set would likely be washed out completely in the final print, even in the very highest detail materials. That...

I super need an airbrush for this. And something better than 3M painters tape, I think. Yeah, I was always combining a few different LOD's of the model. Though I am fairly certain the strip is sunken in in each version and that its basically just lighting bloom in that first pic that makes...

Make the back section with the triangles a press-fit kinda deal? That does sound like a great idea, it'd certainly make the insertion of the LED's easier. However I'm not sure I'd be able to print such a thin part, even in Shapeways finest detail materials. Worth a try though, I guess. I'd...

Yeah, thanks. That's an option I will consider. As to the LED's - just found some prewired 0402's on ebay. Might give them a try.

Paint? Yes. That is the plan. The plans to mask off the parts that need to stay clearish and spray. This version not so much, the channel was too small to fit more than 2 in there with some spacing. That issues been fixed now though. As to the battery, yeah. Is very small and probably won't...

Received the first prototype print. Certainly revealed some issues. 1 The ear hook needs to position the Focus much further out. 2 The LED channel needs to be wider, which will likely require a slight scaling of the entire device if more than 2 LEDs are to be accommodated. 3 The ear hook wire...

Hey, So, there are a few nice low-poly Focus models out there, most of which store their battery in the device itself(thus increasing thickness). I wanted to learn some new skills in zbrush and use em to create as close to a photoreal version of the Focus as I could. Used Blender for the...

What are the options for an aux switch on this sucker?

Guess I'll get on that. Will message your fb page some time after chrissy to bug you for internal dimensions.

Wonderful! Any chance it'll be able to accommodate a 26650 battery? I think at least one of the Kylo's can, but apparently I'm already pre-planning a neopixel build so it'd be lovely to know.

A blaster to wear for The Last Jedi premiere - not that I know which cinema's here in Melbourne are popular with the cosplay crowd... Its Sergey Kolesnik's model from CGTrader, although I did make a few modifications and a couple of fixes for some doubles and internal geometry that needed to go...
