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
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

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 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
I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 2nd 3d printer. I’ve been eyeing it for a while and saving up money from various printing commissions. This one is similar to the one I have but has a lot of advanced features that should make for faster and cleaner prints. To save money I bought
As most of you probably know I’m a HUGE Star Wars fan. From April 11th – 15th I went to Chicago with my wife Jessica and our best friends who are also big Star Wars fans for Star Wars Celebration. A 5 day convention for all things Star Wars! Going was a bucket list item
