X-Wing Pilot Chest Box - Snap-Together

thingiverse

This is a snap-together replica of the chest box for X-Wing pilots from the original Star Wars trilogy. Production stills show this prop to be a little rough, with evidence that it's just carved foam and glued acrylic squares. I aimed to create something crisper and more detailed - the buttons recess into the face, and the black plate is a separate piece. In short, if you want screen-accurate, this isn't it, but it looks nice nonetheless. You can get closer by painting my guidance grooves white. It snaps together minus four #8 screws that hold the back plate on. I made it removable to make replacing straps easier. You can use plastic thread-forming screws (Type A), plastic thread-cutting screws (Type F), or tap it out yourself (Type I).
