This is all great news and very helpful to have Cassandra helping with this. I too will be staying in a hotel.

Do we care that the "Elbow Gasket" and "Shoulder Gasket" pictures show the normal FOTK biceps and forearms instead of the Treadie parts that have black painted areas on them? Personally I'd rather not take more pictures at the moment but I will if it's needed.

Here's the unedited front/back shots. https://photos.app.goo.gl/7RB7WnbvPAjbKJgN8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/PkfbdQF2m2Pq8XmE6 ... And the to-be-edited surfing shot. https://photos.app.goo.gl/xadKovoYeXjRMetk7

The weather looks fine but as @Hasksaid, don't go any further. The rest of the details seem like you know where you were in error. With the unavailability of ArmoryShop Patrol parts are pretty difficult to source right now. PM @troygordon2 about the helmet. If you can post photos before submitting to your GML we can help you avoid any further issues.

I just need to strip off the Mando white (plastidip) and it'll be good to go. I just want to strengthen up the handlebars but there's a plan for that too. I'm just not going to bring it up until our Treadie builder is finished with that project.

As @BikerScout007mentioned infill percentage, pattern type and number of walls will all have an impact on flexibility and strength. Check out the link below for more detailed info about the subject. That being said you can run a strip (2-3") of fiberglass cloth around the top and another around the bottom edge for extra strength and security in case you develop a crack. That would also keep the extra weight down since you would have less fiberglass and not the entire interior. https://3dprinterly.com/what-is-the-best-infill-pattern-for-3d-printing/

Great design. Huzzah to the year of celebrations.

Not that we're aware of. The last 2 of use both had to make our own but there is info in the build threads if you choose to go this route. As soon as we have more info about a new vendor we'll surely let folks know.

The Uniform Warehouse pants might be a little bit of work to get to lvl 2 due to the rear pockets. You would be able to sew up the side pockets but they aren't really visible once the belt in place, same goes for the belt loops. It's mostly a matter of the back pockets. They are a pretty simple pant design and with your jacket sewing skills you could probably tackle these as well. We have faith in you.

This looks amazing regardless of your sewing level. I do have one suggestion though. This jacket gets very hot especially when coupled with the polyester pants and all the armor. The only place that your body has to vent heat is from your head and that can be minimal due to the helmet and balaclava. If you can I would suggest working in a section on the chest and back that's made out of a lighter cotton or breathable material. You should have a decent amount of space to work with because really the only part of the main body that are visible is around the neck and under the arm near the armpit. Just suggestion but a helpful on when you're out trooping in this armor. Great job and I can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Hit me up if you need any files.

I filed my bolt holes into squares using a small flat file so that the square on the end of the bolt sat properly. It’s a pretty easy modification that took less than 10 minutes.

You might also want to think about using a thick washer shim for the bolts too. That would push the visor/face plate out a bit on the sides and would help line it up with the helmet area. I’m not sure how thick but probably something’s like 4-5mm maybe.

I would contact SC first too. They're customer support is superb. I think if you try to trim you may end up more asymmetrical and you'll probably need to fill the bolt hole(s) as well since they'll no longer be lined up properly. Start with SC and hopefully save yourself several headaches.

@Aradun has pretty good build of his harness that should help you out. There's also a bit on my build thread from @The Wayner who initially built my harness and before I took over the CRL project. Between those 2 threads you should have a fair amount of useful information.

PM sent with a link to the files. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Exactly what @Aradun said. We built these from scratch and as of right now there aren't any vendors right now. That being said it's actually a fairly easy thing to put together because it's almost all just webbing material with a little bit of padding. Think of it like suspenders with a belt. If you don't sew you may want to talk with someone and show them the screenshots as it's pretty easy but can seem difficult if you don't sew. I would build your armor and battery pack first so that you know what the sizing will need for all the strapping. This will also give you more time to possibly find a seamstress to help you out.

Great work and Dedication to the Pathfinders.

It'll relax with time. Ironing could melt the velcro. Thanks for the detail pic of it.

Full suit shouldn't be necessary as we only need photos of the areas in question. If it's the belt and drop boxes just make sure that your flight suit, belt, bund and TD are present so that it looks normal and everything sits properly as if you were fully dressed. Besides the shoulder this is all in the belt area.

Thanks for the knee measurements and adjustments. A few thing still stand out but you're very close. Butt flap looks good now No need to replace the helmet stickers if you're going to damage the helmet in the process Knees look good now Pockets looks sorted It looks like you removed the extra diagonal stitching from the cummerbund but I still see a crease. Just want to double-check that this is just a remnant from the old stitching, correct? Make sure you tuck in or remove the WampaWear tag from your gloves. IT's yellow and pretty noticeable when it sticks out. Right shoulder bridge cover and strap is out of place Drop boxes are still a bit too low and uneven They will need to be raised up and spaced out evenly. Excess dropbox or belt material is sticking out underneath the Thermal Detonator. This will need to be trimmed off or hidden behind the belt and TD.

It's not a deal breaker just info in case it bothers you. Unless you have a spare set of stickers laying around, I'd leave it for now.

The Lancer review team has gone over your submission and had the following comments. Overall the majority of comments are about proper dressing and fitment. Helmet: Just a note. Upper 3 stickers above the lens are off center. Flight Suit: Red Kap coveralls have pass-through pockets which will need to be sewn closed. Upper Arm Armor: Bicep armor rotated backwards, should be to the sides. You mentioned this already. Cummerbund: Need to remove visible diagonal stitch lines where Velcro is sewn on the back of the bund. Bund is a bit off center, needs to be shifted slightly to wearers right, this is a dressing issue. Belt: Drop boxes should be 1-1.5” higher. Dropboxes are a bit uneven. This is a dressing issue. Optional: You may want to round the corners of the belt (near the rivets) to keep them from catching on anything. Flight Suit: Trim 1" from the bottom of the butt flap Knee Armor: Missing measurement on upper knee armor elastic. Knee are dropping, there should be more of a gap between the knee and top of the boot. You can try adding adding velcro to the flighrsuit underneath the knees to hold them up higher.

Thank you for your application Melody. The team has started their review and will get back to you with any comments.

I dig this idea. 400? Wow.
