Thanks for that. Link still won't work for me so error might be on my end

Hi all,
I’ve been working on modeling in 3D some of the hard parts from this costume for someone else and wanted to share them with the rest of you guys too. I have modeled the Chest and Back plates, and while I was at it I have also done the wands as they are quite a straight-forward model. I certainly don’t pretend for perfection, but at least I think I got most of the details down


The wand parts are designed to be slid around a PVC pipe for increased strength. The PVC pipe needed should have an outer diameter of 20mm (approx. 3/4in), and be 400mm long (approx. 15 3/4in). I haven’t designed anything particular to house electronics into them as I don’t feel like they did any for the screen-used ones.

thanks for sharing your 3D files. They are awesome! I am helping my daughter make a set in our new printer for Calgary expo.
I have a few questions
What print settings are you using for the wands? I was thinking 10% infill but maybe it should be beefier??
How did you do the red bits at the end of the wands? Just print in red PLA?
did you happen to do a helmet design with these prints? Or is there a link to an STL?

now just have to figure out the best way to finish these puppies. Sand and body full I suppose then some gloss black paint

thanks for any help!

For the wand most of the structural strength will be given by the PVC pipe inside it so I guess 10% would be enough. About the "red bits", yes I would suggest just printing them in orange PLA (not red because then it looks like a lightsaber and you don't want that).
And no, I didn't do the helmet so you will need to source one elsewhere.
For the finishing I like to sand the parts first, then depending on the quality of the prints I use body filler, or directly primer filler that I wetsand after.

Still lots of sanding!

From my experience with 3D-printed armor - try to apply MOTIP Spray Putty first, directly to print.
Sand it a bit and then - paint!
Will obtain excellent result!
For example-my DeathTrooper 3D printed armor.
