You wouldn’t download a plate carrier…

…but you will soon be able to.

I’m launching my collection of tactical equipment, the Panoply, including the NP-04 plate carrier at Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival in Loveland, Colorado on April 18th 2026.

I’ve been deep underground working alone on this project for the past year, and I’m finally forcing myself to start talking about it since launch is so close. The Panoply is a collection of tactical goods designed from the ground up for additive manufacturing. New materials and new capabilities.

Apologies to my fossfriends, these designs won’t be free. I have been refining the first four pieces of the Panoply for thousands of hours at this point and I need to prove to my wife it’s more than just a hobby.
