He 3D printed the Coughtrie Lamp base used for the corridor lights

I have an original base. Izzy's base is screen accurate to Starkiller's 3D model. I wonder if Coughtrie made several different sizes?

love those buckles! I'm glad the model I sent you worked out for printing.
I think it's definitely possible coughtrie made two types. As you can see in the print of mine the bolts are lined up with the fins, and on your original they aren't. Now I know I didn't put those bolts there by accident so I looked around.
I can definitely see that coughtrie had at least two variants, one with bolts between the fins and one aligned with the fins.

the dimensions I got were off those specs we found of the coughtrie fixture for sale some years back. It's possible that either the specs were measured wrong, there are several sizes, or I'm bad at reading... haha. Anything is possible! Still, at least the shape is good, if I do say so!
looks like bolts on fins for ANH and ESB

What were the original belts/buckles off of? Any chance of finding a pair of original buckles?
I'm always amazed at what you can 3D print these days. Nice job Izzy!

I am pretty sure this link should be somewhere in the 389 pages, but while waiting for our best weekly series : The last update of the cockpit, this https://sites.google.com/site/millenniumfalconnotes/ deserves your attention.

I am also looking for this "bolt" , this prop is on the death star (room where C3po and R2d2 hide) . The exact bolt you have SofaKing01 has a name? need to found one too and duplicated him .
Um, evidently I missed something. A 1/4 scale cockpit? I guess I need to stop scrolling down to just look at the pretty pictures. That is going to be freakin' awesome!
Cool compressor, if you're into that sort of thing.
Not sure if these will help at all, but here's a couple of cool shots from the TLJ blu ray special features.

Hi Gang,
Just a quick "verbal" update! Things have been somewhat slow these past few weeks and I do apologize. I was hoping to have some real progress done but unfortunately life has slapped me around quite a bit! The car situation seems to have finally worked itself out (knocks on wood) and, despite the financial hit I took, its been almost a week since the engine light turned on. There have been a few other road blocks and financial hurdles I've had to jump but it seems like things are finally smoothing out...
Enough about that! Let's get back to work and have some fun!
When the time comes I'm going to reach out to Coughtrie (I believe they still exist) and see if they can identify the bolts and the actual base.
EDIT: ....Ooh, unless the doc is describing the outer edge to centre of the screw fixing - that would be more sensible, lol!
