Update: So a few folks before, during, and after SDCC have asked about this. I am going to start a list of folks who wanted boards. Electronics 123 offers a small, but nice discount for orders of 10 or more, and with the possibility of some of these parts going up in price, I'd rather we get an order in now, with discounts, than later. If we order by 8/2/18 , we can have everything here in time for the build party! For the board and 4 buttons it will cost $27, which includes shipping if we do it this way. We need at least 10. If you are interested, comment below. My paypal info is atmamatt@gmail.com. Current Count: 20 The list so far: 1. Victor Silva* 2. Carrie Ann* 3. Todd Mullin (x4)* 4. Joe Nelson* 5. Ruben Camerino (x2)* 6. Lesley Farquhar (x2)* 7. Nhan (Tiedoll)* 8. Joe (Etherpilot888) 9. David (Fett)* 10. Milton Hunt (x3)* 12. Kevin Hull* 13. Mark Kinsey (x2)* 14. Kenny (Tusken)* an asterisk (*) indicates paypal has been received.

I'll be there to eat food. I suppose I'll be working on Tuskens and what not as well.

welcome! Looking forward to seeing your jawa! The pictures and progress look great!

Reposting from the Jawa Initiative: So if you wanna chitter and chirp like a jawa (or tusken, or really any character you want fun sound clips for), I recommend ordering those sound boards and buttons today or tomorrow, and it will show up on the premiere weekend. I am off Sunday and Monday, and totally willing to help wire it all up, install sound, do any soldering (to add an on/off switch), and help trouble shoot if you order that stuff now. I would love to see our Jawas chittering like crazy, Tuskens yelling, etc. during LEGOLAND weekends. Items you will need to order: 1 board; get this one with the terminal blocks. It's MUCH easier to fix if things go wrong than the solder board, and the price difference is negligible. http://www.electronics123.com/shop/product/fn-bc04-tb-4-buttons-triggered-mp3-player-board-with-10w-amplifier-and-terminal-blocks-8267 4 buttons, these work fantastic. http://www.electronics123.com/shop/product/push12w-momentary-push-switch-white-flat-rubber-button-with-12-inch-leads-8271 Switches can be purchased at Fry's if you want them, I have a small simple slider that locks nicely into position so it doesn't turn off on accident. I have several extra 9 Volt battery connectors that I will donate to this cause, though if you want a fancier one there are several on electronics123 and inside Fry's or Willy's. You'll want an aker speaker of some sort; I'm a fan of the 1506 since it's smaller, but the 1505 or similar work as well (these are also used for TKs and other costumes; so if you have armor with a speaker, you're already set. If not, you're prepared for when you make the jump). They run from 30-60 dollars and have a variety of extra features. you will want a 3.5mm audio cable that's at least 3 feet long. you will need a compression glove; I recommend going to CVS and trying a few on as you want the button on your index to sit in a specific spot, and a larger glove may give you more room while still fitting snug. Additionally CVS sells a lovely eye glass repair tool that runs about 3 dollars and looks like a star wars greeblie; it's perfect for remounting wires if they wiggle lose. You'll want Velcro; I have been using the small stick on pieces for mine, has worked great so far. If I need to sew it later, I can. I will take photos of everything later on tonight.

I'm going to bring those sound boards Victor showed off and set them up.

I'll eye it, because the costume does amuse me. Are Jawa's approvable for Rebel Legion as well? For the Bandoleers, I've been told these will work, though do note: they only make them in one direction in regards to the buckle placement. If you do order from them, sign up to their mailing list first, and get a little extra off as well. https://www.worldwarsupply.com/cart/British-P-1903-Leather-Five-Pocket-Bandolier-Pattern-1903?search=1903 Also, having 100 jawas chirping "Utini!" at random intervals would amuse me to no end. If you haven't seen it, Vic's video showing off Happy Trooper's glove is amazing, and crazy inexpensive.

Welcome!

I don't have much to trade, but always interested. I'll be there, I'm hoping to fix up this gaffi stick, and help where I can.

I'll be there.

The file was made to fit both a tube, and the nuts more or less snuggly, is the concern. I agree the abs pipe is better, but, I can make a cylinder to fit everything perfectly.

Yay! Another Tusken! How tight fitting was the cylinder to the end caps? I ask, because we could make a print file for the cylinder as well for the future. As for cura wanting to resize, I think the end cap was modeled in inches for our personal sanity at the time, and every print program under the sun sees metric.

I just got approval today, and I am requesting upgraded access. DZ-31428 reporting for duty!
