Genuine real Ahsoka Tano progress! I wasn’t sure if our oven would be reliable to bake my leather armour in. I wasn’t sure if the curves would flatten out while on the trays and I wasn’t sure it would be under 60C but over 50C to get the pieces steaming but not scalding. But it…

Okay. My health has started to go south again- fatigue combined with insomnia is making for a lot of unpleasantness! but my early mornings are good! So yesterday I cut my new Ahsoka tunic from a fabric that has a microfine crepe surface, like nylon stockings, which will create a slight glowy effect. I wanted…
Printing woes
Well after the excitement of getting the printer to be aligned properly I am now in the situation of trying to make sure my prints adhere to the plate. The best point for adhesion is the middle of the plate, and my experience was that curling happened on part of the file that was printed…
Woot
Hilts are go for printing, tested in 3Dhubs for printability Phew! The work yesterday was worth it 🙂 I’ll do the greeblies first then the short then the long hilts 🙂
Ahsoka progress
I had left the hilts and greeblies looking good 🙂 But then… today as I was arranging all the parts on a stand in plate… well I found that I needed to cut one hilt section in half, and also find an emitter end cap. But this is how it all looks now so it…

Maybe an exaggeration but it is many many hours of making good progress and then bad and then good, and then even worse… But I have hilts actually curved and tidied fairly reasonably. I have so many in progress images but none of this particular set. Anyway. Tadah!
Ahsoka hilt madness
As in the so called definition of madness. Yes I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to do something expecting it to work. In part because the tutortial I used did not really make full use of SKUs component and group features. I want to make my hilt fool proof for printing and so…
Scaling funtimes
I’ve taken the concept art of Ahsoka and scaled her to my height- so 168cm from heel to top of head- so I cropped the montral off and the heels of the boots. And I have checked head height is accurate, height from waist to should is right.. Her “big” lightsaber hilt winds up 34cm long!…
Health update
In my last post I mentioned, almost offhand, I make while I can still make. I’m having this tested somewhat as the fatigue that has dogged me for so long returns after a short few weeks. I am sort of okay with this. I know what to expect, I know I can pace things out,…
