Mandalorian Whistling Birds gauntlet (LED remix)

Description

This project was based on the fantastic original design by Mr_Corn (The Mandalorian Beskar Armor - FULL ARM - Pauldron Vambrace Gauntlet), and the idea of ericerickson592 to tweak the right vambrace (not left vambrace, as mentioned by ericerickson592 in his upload), in order to fit leds and batteries. Cudos to both and thank you for your designs and ideas. I edited the original design in Tinkercad, it now has room for two AAA batteries, or even a 9V battery (with a little careful dremelling), plus room to fit cables and leds behind the whistling birds. The vambrace is provided in two pieces (yes!), to accomodate all the people who requested both parts. The stl files are provided in 115% scale of the original stl by Mr_Cord, as the original were kind of small for grown ups. It is noted that ericerickson592 provided his design enlarged, however not scaled (I think he elongated along z axis). I chose to scale up to 115% of the original stl by Mr_Cord, which gave me a satisfactory result. The vambrace when printed as is, has now an opening at the wrist at 8cm diameter, and an opening at the forearm at 10,5cm diameter. Most adult people will easily fit the vambrace, plus have some spare wiggle room for clothing. Both parts were printed in my Ender 3 Pro smoothly, with a PEI bed that worked miracles for adhesion (first prints with PEI, the man who invented it deserves a Nobel Prize!). I sliced my prints in Cura, which resulted in some odd supports, however I was able to clean it up easily with a sharp metal tool, similar to a dentist's. Maybe other slicers will do a better job with supports. I printed both parts standing.
