It wasn’t cloth… I made a thread for the 30th somewhere on here related to my build of the suitcase and an actual pure zinc arc sprayed pack as done for the 2 hero packs everyone is trying to replicate in 3D prints w/ paint.
Things you’ll struggle to find:
1) original corners
2) exact latches
3) rivet dimensions/locations/installation
3) the leather handle (was custom made)
4) the interior lining exact materials and strap locations/components
5) the file folder (this was the most difficult)
Dimensional accuracy was nothing short of a nightmare as well but I believe I’m within 1/2”.View attachment 1502943
This is amazing!
Here are my thought on your points.
1) original corners- I had to custom make mine. From the looks of yours i was pretty damn close!
2) exact latches- They seemed to be the standard latch from all the shots I could see.
3) rivet dimensions/locations/installation- Yes this will be a pain but should be too hard as you get shots of almost every side of the box to count them.
3) the leather handle (was custom made)-I knew this would be next to impossible to find the correct one. I found one on amazon that was really close.
4) the interior lining exact materials and strap locations/components- As for the lining my plan was to make a foam cut out and line it with black felt. this is to protect my hard work on the rocket. As for the tools in the lid im still researching to see if there is a better picture showing all of them and trying to id some of the non common ones. Do you have a pic of this?
5) the file folder (this was the most difficult)- Do you have a name for it?
Thanks!
I printed mine like thisHello
How did you orientate the main hull for printing? I keep having print failures.
I’m a novice here but I did make a thread originally for my case build and the zinc metal arc spray rocketpack so folks can jump over to it instead if it’s easier and you’d like to know more, etc.Can we split the jetpack CASE posts onto a new thread? They are very useful and deserve their own thread. Admins please?
