As always, so very interested in the work you guys do. Tagging in so I can follow the thread!

Dang, I thought I was just going to flip through that and say "cool," but there's a handful of shots of droid domes from unusual angles so I had to download it. :)

When searching for these, don't forget that many of them can be found in public and university libraries. For example, both of the (small) Star Wars Archives books as wells as the Star Wars Costumes book are available from public libraries in Alberta (and could be brought in via ILL if you...

Well, speaking only for myself, I'd probably prefer the Rogue One version - assuming that the props used in the various TV shows are the same as R1. Mostly because, whilst I have my problems with Obi-Wan and how it intersects with continuity, I'm a big fan of Indira Varma and if I were to build...

On the Baddeley version of the flowerpot dome, the panel opening is 2 inches wide about 1/3 of the way in from the outermost edge, which is about where the motivator seems to be popping up in the screenshots. Based on the high-res images that were just posted, I'd hazard the variable air...

It does seem to have the right general shape. I wonder about the width, though. Remember that it has to fit through the panel opening, in the photographed orientation, on the narrow dimension of the panel. Having spent the last fortnight getting a "bad motivator" popup working on my Arfive...

The concept art has a small brim on the rear, too. I agree with the hard-hat or forestry helmet suggestions. Following Mara Jade's Father's link, there's a couple of things called "Chainsaw Helmets" that have the front and rear brims and the reinforced crest visible in the art...

One assumes they were created for Andor, but it would be cool to learn more.

Dagnabit, I know I've seen that grip and hammer shape somewhere. Crsenel's website is down, but I've had a look through the thumbnails on their YouTube channel. It feels too big to be a derringer, though, this is pocket pistol sized. It could be an over/under pocket pistol, but I wouldn't...

I've seen it somewhere too. My brain is jumping to C&Rsenal for some reason. Maybe some kind of Webley? Or a Mateba? Did they make small Matebas? Anyway, it feels like some kind of revolver with the cylinder removed.

I've worked for Ikea. That's just a normal Saturday in August/September when all the uni kids are buying dorm furniture. (Seriously, the U of A Housing Association literally runs buses on September Long Weekend.)

If you search for them on AliExpress, you can find what's almost certainly the same thing for about half the price. Of course if you're American there's a chance of Trump's Tariff War adding to that and if you're not American there's a risk of some customs dude deciding it's a replica weapon...

Looks good! Whenever I've printed in translucent, I've had to sand the surface a little - even the print bed side. If you really want it clear, you need to go for small line widths, small layer heights, slightly high nozzle temps, and ideally a hot enclosure - the idea being to keep everything...

Reverse engineering the boots is well outside my expertise, but I did want to observe that I have several pairs of knee-high boots - including one heavily insulated pair because I wear kilts in Edmonton winters - and all of them are soft enough to flop around the way Jod's do in the show...

I agree with ID10T, that's the sort of look you could argue was deliberate. And it does merge better with the walls, which is all I'd said would happen. :) Realistically, any unpainted 3d printed object that's attempting to replicate a piece of metal (I'm assuming the original on-screen...
