Sorry it's already been shipped out to @The Wayner. No banana for scale. The battery is about 13.5" wide.

Control box printing completed. Sending it out to get finished and setup. All those detail parts are printed separately so they can be painted more easily.

Among many things Jason did I'll always think about the fact that we would never have gotten our speeder started if he hadn't lit that fire. You'll always be trooping with us.

The Jesus Salmeron helmet is also another good design, although it needs the ear holes cut out.

It's a good design and should be approvable with proper finish work. I've heard of others using the models but haven't seen any finished products up for approval yet. Go for it, someone has to be the first.

Yessir. My models will be retractable.

Here's the link to the files so far. The Cattle Prod is not listed yet as I'm still trying to figure out some parts of the internal structure. Do not distribute these files or give the link to anyone. They are only for personal use and not for reproduction or sale. As the CRL is not complete these are not finalized and still a work in progress. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j0rvqxryxx4gsbs/AABf379kVd6tGghC6h5NaqPDa?dl=0

First print of the Battery is done. As soon as I get the control box printed (running right now) I'll send them to @The Wayner and we'll get this show on the road. I'm done with the Prod just trying to finish out the internal magnets and then I'll start printing.

It's not specifically hollow but I planned on making some tube channels internally built into the walls to run wiring. I was also planning on turning one of the fake buttons into a real button. As well as some mounting slots on the prongs for LEDs. I also had a thought about carving out some channels on the prod bar for some EL wire to make it look like it's electrified. These are just ideas and I'll need to find a place for batteries too but I have a couple of thoughts for that.

Exactly. Maybe even a little hidden catch or something that holds the bulk of the Prod to the upper part of the harness near the shoulder. This would take the weight off the battery pack.

This is a case where I'd like to be wrong.

That's what I'm trying to figure out right now. I'm actually afraid that the whole Cattle Prod will be too heavy to actually mount to the battery pack without pulling the battery to one side and flipping it. This seems like one of those cases where it was never designed to be used in a real world with real physics. I can add a variant of the model that allows for magnets to be glued in and remain flush so that the prod can be holstered but I don't think it will work out well. We'll have to try it out once it's built and see how it all goes.

Finally got the knurling on the handle done (PITA). The Cattle Prod model is complete, I just need to figure out a way mechanism for keeping it opened and closed besides friction.

Exactly what I was thinking. Trying not to over think it.

Are we saying it's the same basic belt minus the extra flaps where the rivet holes are? So the belt just cuts off after the last boxes.

Agreed. Are you keeping it small? Maybe 1"-1.25"?

Are you talking about using black leather (vinyl) instead of the normal nylon webbing on the belt backside? I know the photos don't even have a belt at the back (yeesh) but obviously we'll have to have something.

A little bit, still working on those models as well. It's more like my normal work is taking a break. Thankfully I work for myself and from home most of the time. The biggest problem is that I'm down a printer right now and trying to figure out what's wrong to get it back running again.

Cattle Prod Still need to do the knurling on the handle but otherwise it's complete.

Thanks. I started to print so as soon as I have a full set (minus the cattle prod) I'll send them over to you and we can start to get this thing finalized.

The Paper Towel (Battery) is finalized, it looks the same as before I just scaled it to better match the proper dimensions. The Walkman (Control Box) is finalized and will fit a normal sized speaker inside. I made mounting slots for magnets on the box as well as the backplate. This will enable people to put their speaker inside while keeping a clean look. There's a slot in the front which I left cut out which should allow a bit of speaker noise to come through. We'll have to figure out how to mount this to the harness but I think the idea of using belt clips of some kind would work best. Holes for th eclipse can easily be drilled through a 3D printed part too. Maybe we use 2 clips to attach to the horizontal belt and another sideways clip to attach to the vertical belt. That should keep everything tightly in place. I'll be going back to the Cattle Prod next as well as finishing up the handguard parts.

This is the Janitor Scout

So we're going to call these parts: Walkman, Paper Towel, and Cattle Prod?
