Maple Leaf Scrim

I wanted some backpack scrim but don't think it's worth 60 bucks online... Some cheap Amazon "500d" and a few minutes in CAD gave me this. It's a little loose because I didn't account for the stretch after cutting. But maybe some shockcord will fix that or I'll just make a second.

Any suggestions? Should I alternate the leaf angle more?

Edit: This is mostly a test, I am waiting for some CADPAT MT in the mail.

What is this orange/tan helmet light adapter used by Dutch KCT on Team Wendy Rail 2.0?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to identify a very specific helmet light adapter used by Dutch KCT / NLMARSOF operators on Team Wendy EXFIL helmets with Rail 2.0.

The setup:
- Team Wendy EXFIL helmet
- Team Wendy Rail 2.0
- 3M Peltor adapters mounted on the rail
- Princeton Tec Charge / MPLS light

The part I’m trying to identify is NOT:
- standard Princeton Tec Charge MPLS Team Wendy mount
- Picatinny adapter
- regular EXFIL accessory mounts

It is a separate orange / salmon / tan adapter block mounted near the ear protection adapter.

The Princeton Tec light appears to slide into this adapter through a rail/groove system.

I’ve only seen this configuration on Dutch KCT helmets and not on US SOF setups.

Attached photo for reference (blue circle marks the exact part).

Questions:

  1. What is the exact name of this adapter?
  2. Is it an old/discontinued Princeton Tec or Team Wendy accessory?
  3. Is this a Netherlands-specific / European market accessory?
  4. Does anyone have product photos, NSN, SKU, or purchase links?

Thanks in advance — this has been driving me insane.

Tips for using uncoated 500D Cordura - badly fraying

I bought about 17 yards of cordura to make gear with and it doesnt have a urethane coating (I knew this when I bought it). What I didn't realize is how badly this stuff could fray when handling. I feel like the raw pieces fall apart in my hands.

Any tips for how to work with this? Im gonna try edge binding first to see if that revolves it.

Ive got a laser cutter so Im gonna try to use that tonight and hope it melts the edge enough to where I dont have to worry about it but that is only going to work for small pieces.

Experimenting with IR SOLAS Sheeting and Cat Eye Patch

Hey everyone,

Happy weekend, it feels good to be back after a few weekends off from making videos.

I promise I'm getting back to the Prototyping series next week, but this week I wanted to to do something quick and easy, while also expirementing with some material that finally arrived.

Video: https://youtu.be/VY863Wt3hAc

MYOG Laser File: https://shadowborngear.com/myog-tactical-gear-files/

This is my first attempt at making an IR reflective patch, and I figured I'd try out some liquid adhesive/seam sealant.

It went about as well as I expected, but I think for my next attempt I might go a different route. I'll keep you posted.

I will upload this patch Lightburn file for anyone who wants to use it. However I will be tweaking the artwork in the coming week or so to make the eye look better. When I do that I'll upload a new file for everyone to have.

I hope you all enjoy this. It was fun to make and I think will look cool on the back of a helmet during night hikes with the homies.

Custom field top

Bought an austrian KAZ field shirt, made a pattern and customized it to where nothing but the sleeve seam remained. Carrington spartan ripstop.

First time making an actual garment. Got an overlock machine for christmas so this was my first project to use it. Pleasantly suprised of the result. Altough gotta admit this was harder than a lot of the gear I've made.

Help please

Hello,

I recently got some night vision with a bump helmet and really want to take it out next time I go camping. The more I think about it, I don't want the bulk of the helmet, so I am trying a more DIY approach. My idea is a boonie hat with an attached Wilcox shroud.

I bought the hat, and printed the shroud ( interfaces with the G24 perfectly), but how would I best attach the shroud to the hat?

I was also planning on adding a counter weight and additions strapping to secure to my head but that seems the easier part.

Thank you in advance!

Talk to me about laser cutters

I'm considering investing in one. I am as small an operation you can get if you can even call it one. At most, I make 1 of 1's for dudes in my unit. That being said, some of my designs have caught some attention, and I'd like to refine the build process and maybe make them in small batches.

Tell me about price, physical limitations(i.e. do i need a small storage space for it?).What can I even get done? I'm looking at doing stuff 500D, curv/tegris, and some squadron.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Which machine for heavier cordura

I have a brother select o'matic vintage machine in near new condition.

I've started a few projects such as build some pants and shirts but I want to start making web gear for myself as it seems what is on market is way to expensive for what's offered.

Is what I have going tk be enough for sewing cordura and molle?

Also what level fabric are most pc's using?

Referred to this group for help!

Hi everyone! I posted in a sewing group looking for help on where to start with this project and they suggested I post here. I’m a quilter by trade, so I was hoping someone had a pattern or insight on where to begin with this. I already have the woodland material.

Modernized a chicom

This was way too much effort for an outdated piece of kit.

(No they're not the same, my friend sent me two, told me to modify one. Top is original, bottom is my handiwork)

13 hours of sewing by hand because I don't have a sewing machine, and buckles that probably cost more than the rig itself.

Any other suggestions for what I should do to it, other than scrap it and get something actually modern?
