Jim Lawver...or Mark B....

If either of you would want to be point man for our members further South..if you can check with the Biker Scouts in your area if they are in need of one of these...and I can mail that many to one of you to pass out...

I sent the greeblies for Jim with Dylan...
and..

Brian...the big question...does it actually fit in the depression on the thermal det?
I was working with "theoretical" sizes and didn't have a real thermal det to work with.

[Fleetfang]

It's been a crazy weekend. I'M trying to get my computer fixed today, but I should probably have time to dig my armor back out later and let you know!
Thanks again for the assist!

I checked the fit this morning, and unfortunately, the groove on the detonator is only about an inch tall. Now that I think about it, I think MonCal or Studio Creations mentioned retooling their detonator mold to accommodate the proper greeblie.
I may try using some putty to fill the groove in order to mount this greeblie, or it might be one more reason to upgrade my armor...

[Schph Gochi]

bummer....
I should have asked how tall the depression REALLY is on the thermal dets that most have rather than working with other "theoretic" dimensions....

[CloudStrife7]

These look really accurate. Excellent job - and super nice to help out the scouts!

This has been a common problem on the BSN forums. I tried sanding and putty but it didn't sit right.


I ended up creating my own greeblie from scratch with a CAD program and 3D printed it out.
Gave it a rounded bottom so it would fit better (also made it a tad smaller in size b/c it looked better):




Had the same problem with the button too. Printed a new one with a slightly rounded bottom:


I think they turned out great in the end. Got me approved

[Schph Gochi]

looks GREAT...
yeah...
I am bummed...
I put a lot of work into my piece ...and tried to work with dimensions as they were given in tutorials re: that detonator...
what I didn't know is that the detonators currently available appear to be smaller than the dimensions I was working with...
