Seems I continue to be terrible at keeping this updated but my progress on R2 and other projects continue. I’ve hit what I feel like is a major milestone. I have all of the main body parts printed! I’ve had a lot of greebles, doors and smaller parts printed and labelled but unassembled for months

Greetings from the bunker! Much like everyone else I’m doing the social distancing thing. You’d think that would mean I have tons of time for hobbies and projects but that hasn’t been the case. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on stuff! This is the first complete project I’ve had in a while and

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.

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
