Anarchy4 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 2 questions What do most people do for the lenses? If you make it what do you make it out of? Link to comment
amcclary[TX] Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 The lenses are usually cut out of green welding shield.

Anarchy4 Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Ok cool cause that was actually my plan. I didn’t know if that was the usual way Link to comment
nanotek[CMD-DWM] Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I am not sure which bucket you went with or if these fit? You would need to put some tint in them to obscure your eyes better, but they look acceptable. http://www.opleprops.com/product_info.php?info=p325_ople-props-deathtrooper-rogue-one-bulbed-lense-anovos-trooper-helmetlense-lense-costume-helmet-cosplay-krennic-death-trooper-rogueone-green-accurate-501st.html 1 1 Link to comment
Anarchy4 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 So I going to try printing my death trooper suit myself. I honestly have no idea if those will work since the files aren’t, as far as I can tell, from one of the usual designers. Link to comment
Chaos[CMD-DCA] Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 @Anarchy4 The lens, if cut from welding shields, can be heat molded to fit the curve of the inside of the helmet and trimmed to fit the opening. If you are looking to go for Level 2, the lens would need to not only be curved to follow the inside, but also must have a slight "bulge" or outward curve. The link that @nanotek posted is Level 2 approvable. If your files are not from one of the vendors that we listed in the Death Trooper Vendor list then I would have someone take a look at the files to see exactly how much work would be required to make them approvable. Its best to start knowing what needs to be fixed early in your build instead of finding out later after you have put a lot of work into a piece. Best of luck, make sure you start your own build thread and post up progress so we can assist you along the way. 1 Link to comment

Chaos[CMD-DCA] Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Start your build thread, post where you got the files from, I'm sure someone will be able to assist, without knows whose/what files they are I can't give a specific person. 2 Link to comment
Anarchy4 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Ok I’ll start with that. 2 Link to comment
Anarchy4 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 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) 3 Link to comment
