Re: Star-Lord/Peter Quill Accessories (Buckle, Patch, Rocket Controls, Holster Clips)
Just a quick update, my shipping boxes have yet to arrive. There was a mix-up with the size being backordered, but they are set to arrive tomorrow. All paid orders will ship in the next couple of days. Once I get those going, I will reach out to the next group.

Another quick update. I'm still getting some flawed casts (some bubbles) with the patch because of the amount of detail and my lack of being able to pressure cast. However I am getting much better results with resin, pouring a thin cast (no bubbles). This still allows it to be easily heat formed. I'm going to go pick up a different kind of urethane rubber tomorrow, but I figured I would give everyone the option.

Boxes arrived today, picked up an alternative urethane for the patches, and I'll be printing off labels and boxing paid orders tomorrow. Thanks for your patience

Just a quick note on the clips. I haven't weight-tested these at all (since I am yet to finish a set of blasters for myself), I have only checked them for fit on the grips. Please exercise caution and be sure you're comfortable with them before using. Some of them felt a little brittle after removing them from the printer, so I'm coating each piece in plastic cement to "weld" everything together.
If for whatever reason you aren't happy with them, let me know and I'll refund that portion to you :thumbsup
I may revisit these at some point to see if I can improve on the design a bit (which might just have to be molding and casting)

Would you prefer it if we PM'd you directly or do you just select who is in your lists?

I will reach out to reach group as I get to them.
I'm going to pour a second mold for the patch since it takes the longest to produce, and I have the day off tomorrow to get more casts pulled. I will be sending PMs soon to the next group

Alright, quick update. I'm still not happy with the strength of the clips, so I'm going to bulk up the model, master it, and mold/cast. I'm going to suspend orders on them for the time being. Everything else is going as planned though. For the packages that have already been sent with the clips, I'll issue a refund for that portion. Apologies if this puts a kink in anyone's plans!

I just want to state how much I appreciate your attention to Quality, Kevin. You are providing a great service and that you care so much as to offer refunds for work that doesn't meet your own high standard is a testament to you integrity. Thank you! :cheers

I just put myself in the situation and ask if I would trust my own blasters being held up--right now I don't, so I don't expect anyone else to! I know how much time and effort go into these things, so I don't want to see anything break. Refunds for the first batch have been issued, and I've reached out to the second group!

I just got my items this afternoon. and yeah, the blaster clips are actually very fragile. I tested them, and one of them definitely cracked from the weight of the gun when i did a test fit on my blasters, they're nerf guns. and they didn't really hold on to the blaster either. The clips just slid right off. just thought i'd let you now how they hold up to the nerf blasters.
the rest of the items are very nice tho! the belt buckle is pretty large, but that might also just be me, im a tiny person.
thank you so much!

I'm at number 27 on the list and I was only in it for the holster clips. I'm sorry to hear they came out weaker than expected, though the rest of the stuff looks fantastic! But I think you can take me off the list for now, some people may be able to move up a group .

Is there a thread anywhere on the design of the clips... I was wanting those the most.
