Battery final dimensions. Just want to know if this seems good to everyone. Diameter (widest point): Just slightly over 5.25" Width for strapping harness (outer edge): 10.6", using 1" webbing straps Total Width: 13.5"

Not a problem. As soon as everything gets finalized I'll post the files for Pathfinder use.

I wonder if I can make the model so that the speaker we all use will fit inside there and still be heard, maybe some venting holes somewhere.

Makes sense. I think we'll have to see how it all fits together. The box isn't going to be super lightweight so the straps will need to be tight especially since they're also holding the weight of the battery on the back and possibly even the staff. That's a lot of weight without it being form fitted and tight.

This would be my thoughts. Since I'm sure the intention was that these were specialized Scouts. Why would they make new bunds and such just to then add a battery pack and control panel.

That's what I was thinking. Does the vertical strap some out from the top? Could it be threaded through the control box (backside) and then reattached at the top of the harness?

I just noticed the harness setup and it looks like the control box goes right over the junction point on one of the front straps and the belt portion. NOt sure how we should go about making an attachment on the control box. Any ideas?

Yeah, it's probably sewn on but for our use I was thinking about how to do this without ruining a set of gloves that most of us would normally use with your Biker Scout. I was thinking about using a metal backer plate on the part that you see on the outside. and then some strong but thin magnets on the inside of the glove. Nothing too thick that they'll be annoying but strong enough to hold the plate in place. The same goes for the other part on the wrist that has the wires coming out from it. You could always get a second pair of gloves but cutting and hand sewing into a set of leather gloves doesn't sound like a hoot to me.

Taking a closer look all these screenshots it seems that the front cover on the buckle (silver metal) as well as the hand guard and wire mount on the wrist seem to be metal (copper). This could just be 3D printed and painted to look metallic. I'm making the 3D models for the hand covers and I'll make the buckle too just in case anyone else wants it.

More screenshots added. some better pics of the staff as well as the backside of the battery strapping. I figured out how to take screenshots through the body of the 3D model to get places that I couldn't see before that are hidden normally.

I've adjusted the dimensions to get closer to what you're showing. (armor varies slightly so I had to find a middle ground without distorting the model. The outer strap width will be just short of 9". This will give the overall Battery a width of just about 14" (from the left side to the outer edge of the staff mount). The diameter is still about 6.5" for the battery tube body.

My measurement was wrong for the battery pack. I'll get you a proper measurement this weekend, hopefully tomorrow. I'll get you the 1" strap length too.

I've got the battery closer to about 6.5" diameter, It's pretty large. It sticks out farther than the back tank. I'll try to make a more proper measurement and let you know.

I'm open to the idea. I currently a have a few things I'm in the middle of printing but can definitely look at doing a run for you after I find a free moment in the printing schedule. Message me and we can talk further about it.

Something like the tubing below might work really well. It's very flexible unlike cable or RO tubing plus it will stretch since it's rubber. All the holes I created are for 1/4" tubing but obviously that can be changed if we find something better. This tubing is also hollow so you could run wires through it if someone finds a clever way t o light the cattle prod up. https://smile.amazon.com/TOPRADE-Slingshot-Catapult-Accessories-Professional/dp/B07FL4DLTG/ref=sr_1_52?dchild=1&keywords=red+tubing&qid=1576200035&sr=8-52

More WIP pics. The Battery should pretty much be done except for the cattle prod mount. The size will be roughly the same but I'm not sure about the curve yet since I haven't decided on the prod tube width. If you decide to print this now though the holder will still fit in the designed slot even after resizing t match the prod. This will give you a better idea of how large the strapping needs to be for the harness. If you want the files even though they aren't complete just give me a shout.

Glad to have you Bill, this is well earned.

I'm making new 3D models that reflect the better details we've got now. This is a WIP and I'll finish up the extra buttons on the front panel once I get a better shot of them later. I'll be working on the battery pack next then the staff/cattle prod last.

Here's the screenshot dump. Hope it helps. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mrpoopie/albums/72157712168170508

It's been a long time since I posted anything here. Saldy, I'm here to close this project. I can say that everything worked properly after many trials and tests. The main reason for killing it though is because it's just too expensive and labor intensive to make individual sizes. Basically for every pair of boot soles I need to have 2 full sets of molds which consist of 8 printed parts and lots of other hardware. This only covers one size of boots and takes about 1.5 weeks of solid printing for a full set. After all this is done I have to pour into the molds and that is very expensive. One set of boot soles costs roughly $200 just to make and that doesn't even include the cost of turning them into working Scout boots with Leather (or vinyl) and none of this includes the labor involved. I'd need to charge a significant amount of money to produce these and I'm not sure it would be fair to anyone else either. I'm just as sad about these revelations as everyone who might have been following my work. If anyone wishes to continue in my footsteps (serious inquiries only please) just message me and we can discuss further. Thanks for understanding.

They just added a "Photo Mode" to the game today so hopefully we can get some better screenshots directed at the things we need to see. I'll see how much it lets me move around and frame the shot. Be back shortly with something useful hopefully.

I have the files ust haven't had time to print them yet. Damn Patrol Trooper bucks taking all my time. I also have the game but haven't had a moment to fire it up and get more screenshots either, maybe this weekend I'll get some time to find some proper shots.

Did anybody notice that the bicep does not actually have strapping. It's more like the Patrol and is probably mean to be attached using velcro or something similar.

Thanks.

Where did you get your pouches?
