Val Costume Parts

thingiverse

This is the arm bands and various other small props for the Val character from Han Solo, a Star Wars Story. They're designed to complement her leather jacket outfit during the train scene. I pieced this together by studying movie clips and toys, so it might not be 100% accurate, but it's quite close. The arm bands are engineered with 1/8" aluminum or steel hinge pins that allow them to swing open. These pins are attached on the outside and inside of each band to accommodate different arm sizes, featuring slots for velcro tabs. The same 1/8" hinge pins are used on the finger attachments. You may need to drill slightly larger holes for the hinge pin if your printer settings cause excessive oozing. I recommend printing at least three to four outside layers for this reason. Printing in PLA resulted in incredibly strong parts, and using a silver or gray plastic can yield great paint results. The label 'devices' attached to her jacket are designed to work seamlessly with orange fuel tubing from hardware or auto parts stores. I believe the tubing diameter is 1/4", but if you opt for fuel tubing, it's slightly expensive. However, it has an orange hue that closely resembles the color of the tubing in the movie. One of the arm bands features a round bracket on its back to accept standard 1" CPAP hoses. I happened to have some lying around, so I used them; this hose is meant to connect to her backpack, which wasn't 3D printed. If anything seems unclear, feel free to ask. Watching the train scene a few times should give you a clear idea of where everything goes.
