Hey all, I wanted to take a minute to show some appreciation to those who have supported my efforts creating a better version of my 3PO LED Light Kit. Without Droidbuilders and the 3PO Builders community as well as a handful of volunteers to test the kits providing valuable feedback I wouldn’t have the kit to where it is today. So, thank you! If you happen to have a kit and are enjoying it or have any comments/suggestions please drop me a line via the contact page!

In other news, in coming months I have a few 3PO lids to relinquish as I’m running out of space to work on new ones for my own costume and displays. These all originate from Jesse M’s 3d files, if you are interested in 3d printing you need to seek these out on the 3PO Builders community page or on Thingiverse where he uploads the files. The files are great, Jesse also does a stirling job updating them for accuracy when he has time and his work has opened up the world of building protocol droids to many. With his permission I am able to sell on my finished items to those that may not have access to a 3d printer or perhaps just the time to complete their own. Please note, I do not offer a service for printing any of these files. I will only be slimming down my collection over time as I build from newer files or better fitment for my costume or display.

The helmets I’ll have available will be a mix of versions, varying materials (such as PLA+ or engineering resin) and finished to a degree that they are potentially suitable for wearing or just nice on display. They stem from my own trials in techniques/materials and I would best describe some as ‘slight seconds’. There’s not going to many available and I hope the price reflects the work that’s gone into them. They will also come complete with one of my LED Light kits and I may/may not sell some with CNC’d brasswork – this is all dependant on how my own upcoming gold 3PO version turns out!

Thanks for reading and all the best!
