Been a while since I updated. I had been running pretty full tilt on printing R2’s body. When I finally stacked everything together I realized I am further ahead then I thought. Still a TON of sanding to do and the legs will be long prints but if I buckle down I might still hit

A while back a friend asked me to print him a Phase 2 Clone Helmet. It took me far too long to get the project started but once I dug in it came together fast. It was printed in 18 parts, around 1.5 KG of filament and close to 100 hours of printing. I started

I’ve ordered all of the electronics I need, just waiting for the foot motors to arrive. I’m thankful for the Amazon gift cards I got from Christmas and my Birthday. They have made this project much more affordable. The hardest part of this project will be the electronics so I’m starting small, trying to understand

2019 was a good year but we can always improve! I posted 28 times last year and want to try to double that number. More posts will hopefully mean more productivity! Looking at my projects I did accomplish more than I thought last year. As most of you know getting distracted and not finishing a

My incredible wife and friends threw me a Star Wars Murder Mystery party for my 40th birthday! I was a great time and I had a blast! My character was a smuggler type and I felt the need to have a blaster for the part! I think Cad Bane is the best Bounty Hunter in

I’ve been helping Jess with her Hera Syndulla cosplay and the last big part before we left for Hal-Con was the flight helmet. No where on the internet could we find the files to 3D print it so we turned to our incredibly talented friend Matt. In addition to knowing his way around 3d modelling

I’ve hit an exciting milestone in the process. I “think” the dome is finally sanded to the point I’m happy with it. The process of sanding, filling, priming, repeat is pain staking… I’ve spent so much time on it after a while you just feel like you are wasting time. It can be hard to

My wife Jessica has jumped into the cosplay scene starting with Rebel pilot Hera from Star Wars Rebels. She is making great progress on the jumpsuit, has done a trial make up run, and has ordered her lekku. This puts her miles ahead of me when it comes to actually completing a full cosplay. So

I’ve been bad at keeping the updates coming again but rest assured I have been busy working. Having both printers producing parts is making things move along much faster. It is exciting to see parts coming off the bed and R2 building up. Since the last update I’ve printed the top of the dome and

I’ve been printing a lot lately but not posting much. I’ll try to get back to a regular routine. The biggest thing I want to talk about is the progress on my full size R2 unit! I’ve had the new printer running almost day and night working on the dome and I’ve been reading a
