Jedi image caster - Kenobi - "we are makers" tier

ok ok, i've been busy, but this is just one of the parts i've been working on :)once you see this one, it will become clear what to expect

ok ok,  i've been busy, but this is just one of the parts i've been working on :)

once you see this one, it will become clear what to expect on the other models :D I've been focusing on kenobi props, bcs there weren't too many, so i will most likely make all :D

this was supposed to be released with the rest, but i'll be adding them as i finish so i don't spam too much :D

Ok, this is a tiny and a LARGE one at the same time , so let's begin :)

The Jedi image caster - seems simple enough right ? well, that's where i went a bit over the top and made it ENTIRELY functional

- you can use led's with it

- you can bend the legs

- you can use it as an alternate desk stand for display pieces - holographic projection statues ( pretty much couldn't get that idea out of my head why i saw havoc statue printed by Devon ChipsaHoyes in our group :)

It uses 3 mm led's and a single flat 3V battery - all of these can be purchased pretty much anywhere

- the "bending" of the arms - there is a tighter tolerance to it, but if you find it too loose, just add a bit of paper ot thin strip to make it more sturdy - with feedback we will see if that needs improving

- sizing - it may appear rather small at first but based on references i got, i think the sizing is good, however feel free to print a bit larger if you feel like you need to.

I recommend 0.15 mm layer height for the "shell" pieces

There are 3 pins once again with tight tolerances - you glue the pins into one side and just snap fit it to the other one so you can break it open later and access the battery.

Use brim on the pins when printing.

Alternate use of the jedi image caster - scale it up and use lights in combination with clear resin printed figurines to get an imitation of holographic projector :)

what i'm working on at the moment:

- Lo LA59 droid - trying to get it quite some functionality

- Obi wan new lightsaber - functional for our lightsaber electronics as seen on my other hilts

- Obi-Wan's tracker device

- the belt buckle

All of these I am juggling at the same time and pushing forward, but I expect to have them all done by the end of the week , so I hope for a bit more patience :)

OH i also added some test photos, didnt have gold filament so i used black pla. but will share more once i assamble it fully :D 

Then i'll focus on pieces of batman armor and some more lightsabers next week :D
