HWT Heavy Weapons Trooper Backpack Facade Plates

thingiverse

These components will help you build a Heavy Weapons Trooper backpack in accordance with the specifications of the 501st Legion, as outlined in their reference build guide. They are designed to be obtainable and doable by most people, ensuring a uniform appearance among troopers. The build is based on an oil drain pan base and other parts (see build thread link below). It involves a significant amount of work beyond just printing these components, but it produces a very clean-looking build. If you are familiar with Fusion360, you can access the models directly, where you can copy them into your own account for customization to suit your needs. Links to the models are provided below. These models should work well without any need for modification if you use the recommended configuration in UKsWrath's HWT Pack build thread (https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30034-hwt-backpack-build-part-1/ ): The Pop-It plastic storage set from Amazon, the Photo box from Michael's, generic baby wipes, and a cup with similar faceting to the one used. If you use different base materials, they may need to be tweaked to fit your exact base boxes or possibly won't work at all without extensive remodeling. I will likely make a few design refinements here and there as I progress (the screw holes are a little small for one thing, and I have a couple of other tweaks noted below), but since my pack is complete and approved at this point, I don't plan to make any substantial changes. Feel free to ask, but no promises. I do have a hankering to create the side panel for the radio box, which would be really simple to produce. I'll update this post when it's finished, of course. Included components are: * Faceted Mount: For the cup assembly bottom right, holds the facets cup in place at a slight angle so it comes down more flat on the pack. * Cylinder Mount: For the baby wipes container top center... I'll probably make a second part to this for the inside, to hold it even more firmly with less movement. * Button Panel: For the XE-41 Pop-It box top left... you'll still need to glue rubber bumpers to this, although I suppose if there are enough requests I could model plastic ones right onto the plate. * Vent Panel: For the XE-51 Pop-It box top right... you'll need to glue the separate slats from the following model in place. The "rails" in the model give you a place to push the low end of the slat against, and the next one holds the bottom edge up at the correct angle. * Vent Panel Slats: For the Vent Panel on the XE-51 Pop-it box top right... print 6 of these. * Arch Panel: For the XE-61 Pop-It box center right. * Radio Box Plate: For the Michael's Photo Box bottom left. Note: depending on your printer's size, you may need to split this into 2 parts, as I did for mine.
