f3tt4l1f3 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Hey Troopers, Sorry to dredge up this old topic, but I've finally gotten around to assembling my scout bag with the parts I picked up back when it was shown in the first season of the Mandalorian. I've started with the button/rank bar thing, and have done a lot of research to try and make it look like the screen shot images. Looking at the red buttons and the white block in the center, it just never looked quite right, to me, to just glue them on because there clearly appears to be some sort of black "base" for the red buttons and the white block looks to be roughly the same size/height as the red buttons. I did a bit of measuring of screen shots, then created some parts in 3d Builder. After a bit of trial and error, I was finally able to print these: I also found a galvanized nail that has a head about the right size (it may be "slightly" bigger than it should be, but it's what I had on hand) to make the "dot" in the center of the white block. When the parts are together, it looks like: And, here's how they look after they've had the print lines filled and have been painted: To get the above proportions, the aluminum bar came out to be 106mm long (I'm also using the 1/8" thick bar, rather than the 1/16"). I know the previous consensus was it should be about 90mm, but with these button bases and white block, there was just not enough space between them as seen in the screen shots. Here's a rough comparison, next to a screen shot: Hope this helps add to the discussion! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree about the black base, I was just putting the red squares on black plastic for the look but his seems to be exactly how it really is. And I used the nail head as well, seems to be the closest to the screen used 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a photo of the finished bar before weathering: I'm not sure if there is still much community interest in these, but I may consider offering the 3 printed parts (raw), a kit to make the full bar, or maybe even fully built bars. During my research, I never really saw any others for sale online that look this screen accurate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navajo Bro Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I'd definitely offer them up as a set, I know lots of people would want a super accurate bar! No harm in having a few available for people still sourcing the bags. I still make the bags and have them for sale and would probably tell buyers to contact you for an upgraded rank bar hahaha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good! I'll run the numbers and see what costs would be for the various options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note. I still have the base bags and belts if anyone is needing them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the base bags and belts if anyone is needing them I'd prefer not to release my .stl files out into the wild. Unfortunately, these days, there just seems to be too many that will take advantage and try to produce and sell parts using others' files. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCFWayne Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I already bought the p37 bag on amazon and the badge from etsy. I plan to get these d rings: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08WPXCS5G/ I will get the chicago screws at a local hardware store. I was looking at this belt: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F1915MX/ What size should I get for the belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
