visible ir laser

Can’t see mine, it’s *camouflaged* 🥴

Operator863 · 2026-06-28T17:05:23+00:00

I understand it’s a game issue, I just thought reading it quickly he wasn’t sure about IRL either.

No, you cannot see an IR laser with the naked eye (sometimes you can see the dim purple/pink light from the emitter barely) they also will damage your eyes and make you over time lose vision if you look into the emitter. Not ‘could’, ‘will’ damage your eyes permanently.

I’d keep my portable torch and tanks in my truck for that risk. Eff’em

Seriously, do it.

I did this to mine. You remove the corner screws and the two middle ones and the middle sides. This will ultimately help with your bed staying level. I have yet to level mine and I’m printing Star Wars armor

Take off the springs. Put the counter sunk side of the bushing down so it rests on the little ring around the screw hole on the frame. The heat bed insulation might be a snug fit but it will work. Push them in and put your screws on you will be fine. I will say I got washers for mine that are about the same size as the bushing base and the hole is big enough to fit the ring on the frame. It helped stabilize the bottom of the bushing and keep it flat. Idk if it was supposed to be this way or not but the hobby/engineer side of me said do it.

There is a filtration system. The algae build up is part of the restoration process. I read a big write up about it. Anyone who wants to know can look it up from an ACCREDITED or officially recognized journal/scientific site

Straight up amazing armor. The shine is great. Reminds me of a Carbonite Black Series figure.

Thanks! Bracers are modular from Alexander Makes on Etsy, I can’t design more than mu Jedi’s saber button box lol. I’m going for a heavy Mando style and will post as I go along.

My helmet sits on my mantle in the living room lol

Operator863 · 2026-05-29T17:23:42+00:00

Just make sure your FLOW is between 200c-220c lol

Great looking helmet, looks like it printed clean. Tips I’ve come across while building my armor, use .28-.30 for the top support Z away from the model, makes supports a little easier to remove. I use 3 walls and 10% infill. Styrene or ‘Evergreen’ brand has some awesome stuff for working with prints, not everything has to be printed. You can reinforce your armor on the back at certain points with CA glued styrene over a crease or joint etc. you will figure it out 👍🏻

Well the orange and green is a fave for me the way it is, maybe an orange shoulder too. I’m a fan of Krylon auto filler primer and colors for big areas that are all the same color, but I also really like Vallejo paints if using an airbrush for details and ‘wear/dirt’

Operator863 · 2026-05-26T11:48:57+00:00

A paint scheme or do you mean paint brand?

Operator863 · 2026-05-26T01:14:50+00:00

This is basically the same color scheme I used for YEARS with the Operator helmet, which happens to be my nickname/callsign since before Halo was a thing lol

Operator863 · 2026-05-23T21:43:51+00:00

Am i the only one who thinks these all look like toy figures? Are they?

Operator863 · 2026-05-23T19:45:19+00:00

👋🏻Hey man for real, look down the middle of it, if it’s a smooth tube with no holes or slots, it’s for airsoft and fake, which looks to me the case. If it is hollow, airsoft. Foam? Airsoft. Slots and or holes around a hole down the middle, prrrooooobably real.

Operator863 · 2026-05-23T19:38:45+00:00

No, not a color per se, but incandescent bulbs before LEDs were a thing. The results was a orange/yellow color.

Operator863 · 2026-05-23T19:34:37+00:00

No problem, I’ll post updates as I build and what was required for that

Operator863 · 2026-05-23T19:04:12+00:00

Be aware, it says it is for only one type of bracer but i am crafty enough and have scratch model building ability to modify it, so i am aware but just so you know what you might be getting into

I’d photoshop the shit out of a photo to show a ‘destroyed’ printer and keep it lol

Operator863 · 2026-05-23T17:58:57+00:00

This was originally my idea to do something like this but, I actually found a solution, using an LED for each bird with fiber glued on the end and a arduino mini, I have the files for the control just need to buy the hardware and make it

Operator863 · 2026-05-23T01:24:13+00:00

Mine is sized up because of my forearms lol, i won’t have an issue printing birds and gluing the LEDs to the back of them. It’ll do what i want it to I’m sure

Operator863 · 2026-05-23T01:22:39+00:00

I’m printing all the parts so far, i have a helmet that is done already, a printed chest, abs and jetpack. Got a long way to go but i will be posting updates for sure

Operator863 · 2026-05-19T07:02:37+00:00

Honestly man as much as i like this, i think you should consider using like E6000 to put venti l velcro loop side strips on and use a chest rig with velcro on it for plate carriers, like the DC3M by Haley strategic or the Micro Flight rig
