3 out of 5 starsItem is decent. Could be better engineered for attachment. No instructions (although you can eventually figure out how it goes together). Does appear to be missing one of the knobs in the picture. Owner has been difficult to reach via the etsy messaging system.

Gauntlets are one of my more popular items, and have evolved considerably since I first started printing them -

CNC machining might be a good option if your prop is too large for 3D printing -

I design all my own props unless otherwise stated. Which means I can modify the design easily to suit your needs.
Because there had to be a better way to make quality replica props.
It all started when I got ripped off trying to source a replica boba fett wrist rocket back in 2009 I ordered this from overseas trying to make a mandalorian costume for my son. When it arrived, the quality was terrible, it was heavy and worse still it was broken because lets face it, resin isnt the strongest material.
There had to be a way to make props at a reasonable price, the answer: Digital Fabrication (3D printing) I started using 3D printers to make my props back in 2013. Today my workshop has 9 printers. 3 Larger format, which are purpose built for prop making, and another two smaller commercial printers used for smaller detail prints.
But I dont just use 3D printers. I also have a large CNC machine which I can use to make larger props.
