Star Wars Tie Pilot Cosplay Chest Box Parts by eDorfProductions

Last crawled date: 2 years, 12 months ago

My friend is working on a Star Wars Tie Fighter Pilot costume cosplay but he mis-measured some cuts on his chest box and he then needed a fast replacement for an event. I made this thing with dimensions roughly derived from his Walt's Trooper Factory WTF chest box plus some dimensions I fudged from various build threads and resources online for parts I didn't have on-hand to measure. That being said, it isn't 100% accurate but it will probably get you by for 501st approval if that is your goal.

Print both halves and glue together. Use the 2mm holes in the lower donuts and bottom box half to align together for gluing (use a small Allen key or chunk of filament or a small screw). I have left an access hole in the back for ease of adding electronics as well as four 1/4" holes for mounting to your chest armor via bolts/wingnuts. I have included a template with the holes marked for tracing onto your chest armor to cut matching holes for mounting the chest box to (for I am a Generous God). There should still be plenty of meat for Velcro or magnets still if you would prefer either of those instead.
