Build your own Stormtrooper costume

Introduction to Down Under Stormtrooper - a new channel from an Australian 501st Legion member. Join me as I construct 2 Stormtrooper costumes - the first is an Anovos stunt trooper from Star Wars: A New Hope, while the second is a scratch-build 3d printed Rogue One costume.
My channel name is @absentmindedoldaussienerd
Very nice 😊
Thanks 😊
Getting ready to start this mod! Thanks for making this! Doing it on my full-size spirit
Good luck and have fun!
Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello 501st fella and soon GB too, just wondering the product u are using in minute 8:00. Thank you very much!
I'm using eSun brand eResin-PLA (Bio-Photopolymer Resin) Costs about $30AUD and I get it from JayCar electronics here in Australia. It's just resin you'd use for a resin printer - so any 3D printer supplier should stock either this brand or something similar.
@@downunderstormtrooper Nice, but.... are you adding baby powder as well? What is the purpose, and the ratio u use. I am using cyanoacrylate glue and lots of sanding to fulfill big gaps, or painting with thick primer for quite flat surfaces, and then lots of sanding. All the best
Oh yes! I'm adding baby powder. It helps thicken the resin and makes it much simpler to work with. About 1/3 of my cup is resin. But it's easier to add it little by little - until the resin is a thick syrup-like consistency. Make sure you mix it well too to avoid lumps of powder
Awesome. Check out Escape from Endor. A film we did here a while back. Also Trooper 98311. Im in those.
Awesome. Will take a look!
Just watched it, that was great. Must have been a real struggle for the TKs in that terrain. Hopefully you filmed it in winter!
Great news! When is this coming out?
Word just in. Trailer should be released later this afternoon - there's been a slight delay
21:58 : so from what I see, since I don't want to modify the wiring, or the connectors, I can just remove the rubber sleeve cover and leave the hose as is?
Yes, it's a separate molded piece
@@downunderstormtrooper I did the mod. way better like this!
Just found your channel. Excellent video. I listened with headphones. Plus the captions kept up with everything you said in case I missed something. Keep up the amazing work. Hope you're doing well.
Thanks for watching and the words of encouragement!
Hey quick question, what orientation did you print the main bumper arms? Still relatively new to 3D printing so I'm figuring out the best ways to orient big pieces like this to get a good print in a reasonable time that won't require an additional 10 hours of sanding!
If you freeze my video at the 45 second mark you can see the final orientation in the time lapse. I essentially placed the bottom edge of the arms on the bed. I figured that would be the least seen edge if there were any issues, but TBH it came up great. My snaps came apart easily and didn't leave too much mess.
Weathering looks great! how did you tone down the plastic looking part? just sanding?
In regards to the tri-bumper, I think the most substantial part of the process that made a difference to making it less plastic was the UV resin. To the touch it felt very different once that was applied. More solid and heavy-duty. But yes, those several passes of sanding and weathering helped with this too.
whats the thought process with keeping your pack to the afterlife theme but changing the wand grips?
One of the things I love about the GB community versus some other cosplay groups, is the level of customisation and freedom you can do. If you want a screen accurate pack, you can. If you want a completely custom pack, you can. For me, I'm sitting somewhere in between. I love the gritty look of the Afterlife aesthetic, but the wooden grip has never resonated with me. My personal preference was the old grip. I'm kind of intrigued by the look of the exposed booster on Phoebe's pack from Frozen Empire too. It adds some different texture - so I'm drawn to it. Maybe a future project.
Nice job... be careful cutting that chopstrand without a respirator and eye protection.
Thanks for the tip
@@downunderstormtrooper I see your thumbnail has a respirator, sorry if my Monday morning criticism was unfounded.
All good mate. I put the respirator on before I started mixing the resin, but it would probably have been smart to wear it when cutting the sheets too.
I've been using UV resin to coat my prints and never thought to use baby powder to thicken it up like gravy so it wont leave droops or unnecessary blobs at corners. Thanks for this video! will definite add the powder in my next post-processing
Hi there! Where did you get the connection socket and jack from?
From Amazon AU, but you should be able to get the same in ypur region: amzn.asia/d/baSobm9
What ral of yellow did you use?
The spray paint I used doesn't have a RAL colour reference. It's "Australian Export" enamel paint from Bunnings. Not sure how this pairs to your part of the world. It's not the correct yellow though. It needs more red. If you're an Aussie, apparently Autobarn has a better hazard yellow auto spray called "Hazard Yellow (Holden) DSH208
I don’t have a 3D printer 😔 Anyone wanna help a fellow GB out? Lol 🙏
when looking at the file list which files did you choose for bumper body i saw they had the haslab additions labeled?
Great question. I was a little unsure too.

Great call by starting with silver paint. I do that with all of my metal painting. I spray with a metallic silver, then I cover it with the correct color and sand away at the color and it creates a realistic weathering. At least more realistic than silver marker. Great work here!
Agreed! Definitely looks more realistic than touching up later. Thanks for watching
Well, lets go on an adventure. subbed.
You know, my dad says you guys are full of crap.
Perfectly. It actually doesn't even like a plastic part anymore. Feels tougher and not a single print line in sight.
Looks great! Question: how well did the uv resin hide the print lines?
Perfectly. There are no print lines anymore. If you see any lines after your initial resin coat is laid, do a quick sand with 180 grit, clean off any dust with isopropyl alcohol and do another coat It doesn't even feel like a 3D print now. It's significantly stronger.
I've seen amazing results for miniatures from resin printers due to the detailed prints they can produce. But definitely, PLA printers work well for helmets, especially if you have a large print bed. My printer is an Anycubic Kobra Plus and has been great so far.
Do you recommend using a PLA printer over a 3d printer? I just got a 3d printer for painting miniatures and the like but also want bad ass helmets.
What printer are u using and file on print ..great work on the helmet 😊
I'm using an Anycubic Kobra Plus. It has a great bed size for printing armour. The file is from Galactic Armory. Check out episode 2 where I walk through the files.
Were is the file from
Sound is bad
Yeah - had issues with the microphone setup. I hope you persevered. Getting my sound setup correct is still a WIP - now have a wireless Rode which seems to be working better
