Darth_Vader_Chest_Plate_Cut

This is a redesign of the original to cut out the back to allow for straps to be connected and tied around the body and neck. It also is deep enough to house a Battery pack and Circuit board from Radio Shack. The Kit I used was called "The Mesmerizer". It came 6 5mm LEDs (2 red, 2 green, and 2 yellow). I use the 2 red LEDs and bought another from Radio Shack, To light up and oscillate the 3 openings I cut for the lights. I used a glue gun to secure the battery pack and extra wire to run to the 3 red LEDs that were also hot glued in. Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Infill: 10% Post-Printing The Chest Plate and some of the Side bars. chest plate with the supports How I Designed This I used Lightwave 3D Modeler, to modify the original. I did try to print the model, but the side bars were raised and floating in the air. The Printers would not slice them properly. So I completely removed the bars and made them a separate file.
