I haven’t printed any of his weapons but I’ve done the helmet. I use Cura to slice and id recommend using a brim (thin version of a raft to get more adhesion without the bulk) and using tree supports set to touching build plate only. The rest is pretty much positioning and tuning temps

Clean up time

So TDK Prop’s files came with a file for the lense, I assuming as a guide. I printed that off and I’m just gonna cut my lenses out of the shield using that as the template (I might make 2 to try and make the bubble lenses)

First print with TDK Props files. I’m so glad it fits lol

I personally am attempting to print the hard pieces myself. I’m using TDK Props’ files (A lot of people call them tom’s files). I’m currently printing the helmet and I will adjust my plan from there then I’ll move onto the soft pieces. Once the helmet is finished printing I will probably research the soft pieces more but part of me wants to try and make them myself.

The Death Trooper parts vendor list that pinned a few posts up is what I’ve been referring to to plan parts of my build *I figured out how to add a link here ?

If i wasn’t trying for 501st approval I probably would have finished the print to display or worst case sell to my Star Wars buyer.

I So I have 2 printers an Ender 3 and an Ender CR10. The 3 has a 220 x 220 x 250mm bed and the CR10 has a 300 x 300 x 400mm bed. With the 3 I just had to cut some of the larger pieces down (The pictures in here were printed on the 3). The CR10 can possibly print a full helmet if it’s one piece. It’s depends on the design and sizing

So I'm doing this piece by piece due to free time and costs but for the helmet so far First attempt using "free" files (i subscribe to a patreon for files in general and this happened to be in there) I used roughly 1/2 a spool of filament so about $12.50 Attempt 2 using TDK Props' files From my estimations the helmet plus side attachment should require roughly 1.65 kg of filament which is roughly $45 So before sanding, refinishing and other clean up the helmet is running me about $57.50 + cost of TDK Props' files **Also for reference I have not looked into buying premade kits. I doing this project this way mostly because I enjoy 3D printing and as a way to work on my skills.

No printing it myself will cost me about 50 ish for a helmet

The helmet for example would have cost me about 50 USD. That’s unfinished and without sanding and blah blah. **Thats with PETG filament.

Well crud. I didn’t go with Hex3D to save money. I liked his stuff and then I found the DT and I thought it looked accurate based on the notes on the CRL but I guess I didn’t look close enough at the actual CRL photos. Maybe I’ll message Tom, everyone says his files are up to spec

The piece may look a little wonky due to how I had to cut it unless you’re referring to the first set of pictures then I may have issues. After you mentioned the eye part now I notice it in the CRL photos so I’ll add that to my list of fixes.

2 pieces printed. I haven’t done any clean up yet so they are a little rough.

Picture might not be the highest quality
