Weipertr Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 While waiting for my armor kit to arrive, I decided to print a DLT-19X. I got the files from https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/star-wars-dlt-19x-blaster-mg-34 I'm still deciding on to weather it or not. So far I'm thinking of leaving it, since I'm planning to do a clean armor without weathering. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Outstanding job! Great finishing work! The smooth finish and no visible print lines really make this stand out. Well done trooper!The only thing missing is the thin gauge wire that wraps around the t-tracks on the barrel. You’ll see little V notches at the end of the tracks. That’s where the wire goes. You’re GML may not approve it without them. They were a known feature of the DLT19 and are present in the DTL19X CRL photos albeit very tough to spot due to the low resolution of the CRL photo.Again, outstanding!

Aradun Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hey Chris! Sorry for the delay in response. I had to check the gauge. It looks like it’s 18 gauge. I have some 3’ strands of this galvanized steel wire, not sure where it was from as it was given to me a long time ago, but any solid 16 -18 gauge bare wire will work. Crafting wire generally runs 18 gauge. Something like this would work. https://smile.amazon.com/Beadalon-AWS-18-SS-10YD-Artistic-Stainless-10-Yard/dp/B0063DH2J0/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?crid=169GCN5DX9QC2&keywords=18+gauge+steel+wire&qid=1674004693&sprefix=18+gauge+steel+wire%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-10 You don’t need a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaHoff Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Could someone post a pic of the wraped wire? I still dont know where you mean it to be and cant find any pictures.. just curious 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 @DaHoff The wire is wrapped around the ends of the cooling fins found on the barrel shroud.Depending on the print, there should be a little notch on the ends of the fins. That notch is for the wire. The wire was used to help secure the fins to the barrel so that they wouldn’t fall off during production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
