Limited Run Rocketeer Buckles

[Lapddave]

Haven't hit the 25 like I hoped. If we can get 3 more people, I'll make them at 20 copies rather than the 25.

Love it.

Can I ask, what's the strap width that fits with these?

 

[AGFRX7]

Just did a test print of the buckle pieces since it's been a while. reminded myself how I need to lay them out on the print bed for the best possible print. Gonna need to angle them and turn them a few degrees here and there to get the cleanest print possible.

 

[AGFRX7]

got another name on the list. Only need two more people!

 

[AGFRX7]

So... If I can't get the last 2 persons over this next week, I'm gonna cut the list short to 18 and those coming late to the party will need to go through my Shapeways store like normal

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Count me in. Was eyeballing your Shapeways page the other day.

Hey Aaron,
How did you make out as far as the list? Please keep me posted!
Thanks Aaron @ el-rocketeer

 

[Westies14]

Don't know how I missed this - I'd love to be included.

 

[ShadowX81]

If there is still a spot left I would love to be included. Just finished my rocketpack.

 

[AGFRX7]

Don't know how I missed this - I'd love to be included.

I'll add you to the list. I'm closing the list tonight

Name is added to the list. You are the last person on the list. I am closing the list today.

 

[AGFRX7]

The List is now closed. After I get off work in a few hours, I will be sending deposit info to everyone on the list. As a reminder, the deposit will be 50% ($50) and once the kits are printed, I will then request the remaining 50% ($50) plus shipping. I plan on using USPS priority. If any of you are not in the USA, Shipping will need to be calculated at a later date. Also, as a reminder, this kit DOES NOT include the hardware. you will need to purchase your own rivets, mousetrap spring, smaller springs, finishing nails, and Chicago screw. All the information on how to assemble the kit will be included with the kit.

 

[AGFRX7]

I have sent an email to every person on the list with instructions for sending your $50 deposit.

 

[AGFRX7]

Deposits have been coming in steady. I will update the list as I get them. I will take pictures of the printing and post them on the page. Until then, have a great night, and thanks to everyone who placed their reservations and sent their deposits already.

 

[AGFRX7]

Just a few pictures from the 3D printers hard at work:

 

[AGFRX7]

Well more than half of those who said they want a kit, have paid their deposit.

I took a picture to show the infill level of the pieces. Most of the parts are 50% infill with a thicker wall. What this means is a very light but very strong piece.

 

[ShortWookie]

Looks amazing!

 

[iambrucedamoose]

This looks great

 

[iambrucedamoose]

If someone doesn’t send you their deposit let me know, I would like to take advantage of this opportunity if I can, even though I’m late to the party. Thanks

 

[Jediguy]

Am I too late to the party?
