Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 i think thats the easiest and most practical solution. I know from scaling a bunch of (actually 30 of them) pirate hook STLs for my CO I had to make a bunch of adapter rings and I had to keep playing with the percentage until I got something like 87.7% size to where it would actually FIT the thing 2 Link to comment
DarthBerry[501st] Posted Monday at 07:11 AM Share Posted Monday at 07:11 AM I did a test print of the comlink - the V2 version was okay, but I adjusted a few things for V3 and reuploaded. It's available for free at the same link as before on Thingiverse. I'll print out the macros tonight, it would've been a 29 hour print with a .2mm nozzle so I've got to swap it to .4mm. I'm not going to do this costume but wanted to make sure the files print well, so if anyone is doing this costume you can shoot me a PM and I can send you the test print for V2 if you cover shipping. It's Bambu silk PLA filament on .2mm nozzle at like .14 layer height with 5% infill. 1 Link to comment
DarthBerry[501st] Posted Monday at 04:44 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:44 PM Here are the V2 macrobinoculars printed at .2mm layer height. They look great! Any scratches or artifacts you see are just from the supports, I didn't do a perfect job. It has an inner and outer lip so you should be able to trim clear plastic and glue it on as a lens easy. Just let me know if you want this one and I can ship it out with the comlink. 1 Link to comment
MbIAT[TX] Posted Tuesday at 12:22 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 12:22 AM Looks good! Thanks for making those available, especially since you're not doing one yourself? Just in the process of modifying my coveralls to get the arm pockets, but once I have that done I'll post pictures with my comlink and electrobinoculars when I do mu approval pics. 2 Link to comment

Give me a few to find my photos. Also Hondo has a good image in the forums build section. 2 Link to comment

I will also send my Binoc photos, on the outside they look great, I believe the width needs enlarged some. 3 Link to comment
