MarcG Posted Tuesday at 09:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:37 PM Hi everyone, I'm currently finalizing the paint on the armor parts of my costume and just now getting started on assembling my blasters. I got the SE-14R kit from 850armorworks and, though I love it, it doesn't have the circuit pattern at the rear bottom. I've been searching *everywhere* online and can't find anyone who currently offers a sticker / decal / thin 3D print. Does anybody have a lead on a seller that has stock available? Another option might be to print it myself; so, does anyone have a file they could share with me for the circuit pattern? The flat rectangle area where the circuit pattern would go on my blaster measures 54mm x 17 mm. Thanks 1 Link to comment
DoggyDoc[CMD-DCA] Posted Wednesday at 03:07 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:07 PM Hi Marc I used a decal to create the circuit pattern. The trick was that it is very difficult to print silver on a decal as it just doesn't show up. The solution was to paint the area where the circuit goes in silver and print the reverse decal in black. Unfortunately I used a mac for the graphic and have since switched to PC. the file is saved in mac paint (.paint extension) format, so I can not open it to convert it to something usable. If you have a mac, I can get the graphic to you, otherwise you may need to design it or have someone do it for you. 1 1 Link to comment

I have a friend who has a mac, can you send me the file and I can convert and send back and/or publish to the forums? 1 Link to comment
Chaos[CMD-DCA] Posted Wednesday at 05:53 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:53 PM If you have someone who has a Silhouette cutting machine I have a file to use. When I was not working overseas I had them in my Etsy shop. I used chrome adhesive vinyl to cut the decal out. It has been on my pistol for years and has not peeled off at all. LOL someone that I gave the file to some years ago has started selling them. Kind of a dick move since I gave the file to him but it is what it is. If you want the file send me a PM and I'll send it to you. 2 Link to comment

It looks like reflective chrome on the sticker that isn't attached but more white on the one that is. Also sent you a PM requesting the file. Link to comment
Chaos[CMD-DCA] Posted Thursday at 12:08 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:08 AM It's the lighting and angle, both are the same type sticker. 1 Link to comment
MarcG Posted Thursday at 07:42 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 07:42 PM @DoggyDoc and @Chaos - thank you both for replying ( @DoggyDoc I have a close family member who has a Mac and does design work, so I can get them to help changing the file type and slightly editing the file format). Sending you both PMs for the files you each have I'll post an update here showing my blaster after I use what you guys shared with me. I'll be sure to pass along the resources to future fellow DTs as well 1 1 Link to comment
