Have now finished the part. Attached 3 photos for comparison. Please disregard the background and the stone on the picture. The black piece is from @MrPoopie and the gray piece is from Etsy. I personally like the part from MrPoopie better. But what do the pros here say?
-
Sorry but you have to wait a little longer for the photo. I'm sorry, yesterday when printing the printer cracked off. I was so annoyed that I have only today started the printer again.
-
@kayelbe I am currently printing the biceps part of @MrPoopie. When this is finished I can compare it. Both parts were made to fit my body using the Armorsmith Designer. And both parts were customized by @MrPoopie. Will upload a comparison photo here once the print is done. @Chopper Thanks for the list. My goal is to get the level 1 standard of CRL so I can be accepted to the 501st. Level 2 would be a next step but I am personally still far away from that.
-
@kayelbe I have found the error. Sorry that was my fault. 🙈 I selected the wrong folder during slicing and printed the wrong parts. Now I have the right files to print. Takes just again a few hours until they are ready.
-
Hm. I will tomorrow check the files again.
-
The printed part is that of MrPoopie. There is only a support on it from the print. I have not removed it yet. It can be bent a little, but the elastic must be extremely strong or short so that it pulls the part together a little. But maybe it will work out. Will try it before sanding, however. See reply to kayeleb. Will test it with a sweater, unfortunately I do not have a flight suit yet. Before I print the second forearm part now, I'd rather print the other parts.
-
Now that I have printed the first forearm part, I need some advice. I don't know how the part fits when I wear the flight suit but I think the part is too wide. Or what do you think? Does it fit like this?
-
Thanks. I see this post from him. For me it's the first time I make this so I will try filler and sanding.
-
Ok guys the first parts are printed. Knee and bicep parts are ready. Now I am printing the forearm parts.

I use the file from this one: https://www.etsy.com/at/listing/1022410970/star-wars-ruckkehr-der-jedi-scout?click_key=16ae22d07cf25a3ab5dd9dc567f7650a1fef21a4%3A1022410970&click_sum=4dc9d55f&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=biker+scout+armor&ref=sr_gallery-1-2 MrPoopie take a look at the files and he said the helmet is ok.

Hy guy´s This is my first WIP thread and my first time that I dare to the topic of cosplay. I have no experience in the matter of armor construction but I get here certainly very good tips and then try to implement them. My plan currently looks like this: Helmet: File from Etsy and 3D printed from me Armor: Files from MrPoopie and 3D printed from me Gloves: ??? Boots: ??? Soft parts: ??? Blaster: Maybe a file from Thingiverse for the 3D printer I am in the process of printing the hard parts. The two parts for the knees are 80% printed. After I finish them, I want to move on to the finishing. That means filling and sanding. I am currently a bit clueless which method I should use now. Filler and sanding, XTC - 3D and sanding or resin and sanding. I'm going to get a filler and sandpaper with K400, K600, K800 and K1200 grit on Monday and try this method. If it doesn't work, I'll try a different method on the second knee. I haven't thought about where to get the soft parts and boots yet. I can not operate a sewing machine. But that still has time. Important for me now is that I learn how I create the hard parts and bring to perfection. Will take pictures of my knees tomorrow and show you here. Glad to become a part of the Pathfinder.

First Time ROTJ Scout Trooper Build (3D Printed)
MagKekse replied to Cpt_Chops's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout WIP
Hy Cpt_Chops I also print my armor parts with the 3D printer. How did you finish the parts after printing? What methods did you use? It would be very helpful for me if you also explain this in your thread. -
HY jtshoger I am also new here and I am printing the armor and helmet on my 3D printer as well. I'm already excited about how we're going to do this. Keep your fingers crossed that everything works out as you imagine it. I also bought the armor from Etsy. Exactly the one from your link. But if you ask @MrPoopie you can also get his armor for the 3D printer. Greetings from Austria

Hy Retrofire I have access to there forum and I'm in contact with them. But here I will find the specialist for the scouts. And I hope every info I need. So I'm very happy to be here.
-
Thanks for the link. Now I see my mistake with the chest. And knees, yep a little to big. 😁

Here are some screens of my armor - modified with Armorsmith. Better said the armor parts adapted to my body. I had to deform the breastplate very much so that it fits me. I don't know if I'm allowed to do that.
-
Yes. Here is the link https://www.etsy.com/at/listing/1022410970/star-wars-ruckkehr-der-jedi-scout?click_key=16ae22d07cf25a3ab5dd9dc567f7650a1fef21a4%3A1022410970&click_sum=4dc9d55f&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=biker+scout+armor&ref=sr_gallery-1-2 But I got also the files from MrPoopie.

Hello community I am an avid Star Wars fan and especially a fan of the Empire. I have had the urge to join the Imperial Army for quite some time. Now I have my 40th birthday in two years and until then I would like to have my Scout equipment complete. I am a complete newbie in cosplay and have no experience in techniques, materials and their processing. But I give my best. To start, I have now bought a complete armor for the Scout on Etsy. This armor I print myself on the 3D printer. The reason for this was because I could not wait until MrPoopie has contacted me on my request for his armor parts. Rookie mistake. Now I'm already facing the first big problem because I have no idea how to adapt the parts to my body and scale them correctly. On advice, I bought Armorsmith Designer and the parts there times adapted to my body. But I have no idea whether the proportions fit so. Maybe someone can help me here and look at my file. I hope for a lot of help here so I can finish my equipment as good as possible. By the way, I come from Austria and would then want to join the Austrian Garrison. My mother language is German so please forgive me my bad English.
