I’m a big fan of the Cyberpunk aesthetic – “High Tech, Low Life”. So I made an Enforcer Jacket.
Starside Armory has designed a bunch of really great STLs for making one. So the first thing to do was find a cheap jacket to use as the base.
This is the jacket I ended up using. It’s an XL Ladies size, and really thin, but it was the right style.
I then printed out the collar. It’s a great design – minimal supports needed, and the diffuser was a strip cut from a cheap binder, with a vinyl overlay cut on my silhouette cameo. With the LED strip installed, it looks great.
Next up were the spinal nodes. These have a backer inside the jacket, and are screwed into place, making it a very secure connection. Using scraps of wire to connect each node, I added LEDs inside. I’m not super happy with how the wiring turned out, but it worked.
As you can see, it turned out pretty good overall. I had to make some cable guides, to keep the cat5 in place.
For the next version, I plan to use a thicker leather jacket, and redesign how it all goes together. I also have a new mask to use with it.
