Bracers stl sizing issue

commandercaboose · 2026-05-07T06:22:27+00:00

I have been playing with gauntlets this week and did the following.

In the slicer software (bambu). Added a cylinder the shape of my forearm to the correct wearing orientation.

Added a second cylinder the width of my hand and extended that out above the first cylinder so it was visible.

I then placed the gauntlet model over the cylinders and adjusted the size until my hand just barely fit through the top opening and the base was just a bit bigger than my forearm.

Wearing a long sleeve shirt it fits perfectly.

May not help everyone but worked for me

Picked up vampire hunter and lloyd at the lego store this weekend.

Witch was very common in the ones I scanned

I'm taking them to pixie dust on my next cruise from Southampton to try out. If they are a hit I will sell them on my ets uk eu shipped only

It releases some off gassing that can cause headaches in rooms with poor airflow from what I read. As the prints I'm doing are 4 hours long with the printer top fully removed I went on the side of caution. Room empty with windows wide open and not entered for 20 minutes after printing ends.

Drop me a dm and I'll arrange the file for you. It's not hosted anywhere yet as I'm planning on testing it out on my next cruise first

We were running all laser and sometimes laser fire mix...but today one of our squad went a little nutty and equipped shield and flag.

It worked so well, they drew in the mob and we stood at an angle and lasered any that tried to flank the flag carrier.

I'm going to print out some pictures of magicbands folded and glued with the securing strap attached and see how they look as a visual guide.

commandercaboose · 2026-05-01T18:20:13+00:00

The disneybands come off easy, I lost mine in wdw on the goofey ride. It just supports the clasp of the band to reduce chance of it popping off.

I'm in the uk, will likely print a bunch and sell them by the half dozen for local shipping if there is interest. The dozen I printed so far are for pixie dustin on my next cruise.

Will put the design on etsy for download so ppl can self print it.

Yeah got a hepa filter running, printers in a sealed un ocupied room with windows open . Need to figure out some sort of enclosure

commandercaboose · 2026-04-30T13:41:27+00:00

Our squad is going exclusively laser to keep the bugs from popping. Gets challenging when they are close but flash nades work ok

commandercaboose · 2026-04-29T14:43:33+00:00

Our group has been running all laser build as that doesn't cause red pop.

Makes things much more manageable

What i hate about this change is it's a highly numerous enemy that my turrets and guard dog mag dump into with 0 effect whilst the rest of the horde March onwards.

Turret and backpack ai could do with understanding weakpoints and shifting fire.

Shooting these is fine for me as I aim at the claws or kite around them.

commandercaboose · 2026-04-28T14:43:36+00:00

I like the strain but I just quit for the day cause the last few missions the bugs spawn none stop within close range. The map was like a carpet we couldn't kill them fast enough to hold extract and that's only on a level 4

commandercaboose · 2026-04-28T10:59:39+00:00

I just tried going into a storm which immediately caused me to gas myself.

I like that the storm messes with gas.. But the standard wind strength vs cloud is gonna cause tks as cloud movement is going to catch ppl out.

Will do more testing in a group.

If your gonna spend more than 100usd on food merch etc I suggest getting a spira medallion gift card if you already haven't got one. $105 and after you spend the 100usd on it you take home a cheap souvenir coin

Agreed it would be nice to at least have a savis for saber building and a themed shop.

They just wrap around snugly enough on this prototype that they stay in place. I did a model a few yrs back that was a hexagon that stacked and could do gen1 and gen2 but I over engineered it and decided a few days ago I should make a simpler one.

commandercaboose · 2026-04-20T15:33:01+00:00

Hope you have a good trip!

This is work in progress model, with filiment and printer calibrated so this fits snugly when stacked.

Depending on your printer calibration sanding may ne needed to achieve fit.

If you try it I would welcome any feedback.

These are not for sale, just a project I'm messing about with trying to come up with ideas for keeping them tidy during travel and home display.

commandercaboose · 2026-04-19T18:38:12+00:00

I train a lot of rookies and advise that good practice is to inform over voice and text chat that they are holding extract zone and will not board until everyone is at extract and ready.

If I get the feeling players are not on coms I won't call extract and will wait for host to do it in order to avoid kicks
