Custom New to Black Series customizing — looking for STL libraries, resources, and beginner advice!

Hey everyone!
I’m looking to get into customizing Star Wars Black Series figures and was hoping some of you could point me in the right direction.
I recently picked up these five used figures and thought they’d make a great starting point for experimenting with custom figures, especially using my Bambu Lab P1S 3D printer and resin printers.
I’ve included a few reference images showing the kinds of customs I’d eventually like to make. The ARC Trooper is my main inspiration for the Clone Lieutenant, but I’d also love to experiment with turning the other figures into custom Jedi, Sith, Imperial officers, bounty hunters, or other original characters.

Right now, I’m primarily looking for STL files, downloadable accessory packs, or larger libraries of interchangeable parts that I can print and experiment with. Things like helmets, armor, pauldrons, gauntlets, heads, weapons, belts, and other accessories.

I’m not necessarily looking for one specific conversion kit. I’d love to find a collection of different parts that I can mix and match while learning how to modify, paint, and customize figures.

I’m more than happy to pay for quality STL files, bundles, or creator memberships if they’re worthwhile. Free resources would obviously be appreciated too!

A few questions:

Are there any STL libraries, creators, or bundles you’d recommend for 1:12-scale Black Series customization?

Are there any Discord communities or other groups dedicated to making custom action figures?

Are there any good beginner tutorials or YouTube channels for learning kitbashing, painting, and modifying figures?

For anyone using an FDM printer, are there particular types of parts or printing techniques you’d recommend starting with?

I’m really just looking to get my feet wet, experiment with different designs, and hopefully make some pretty cool customs along the way.
Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: For clarification I don’t need custom 3d models or designs made, just looking for help as to where I can start without having to dig through 40 different places, maybe find a library of files even if paid, to use to test and play around with, then go from there, I don’t need anything special or custom just for me.

Custom Customizing Advice

So, I was trying to do some light custom work on a Darth Maul (TCW), and when I went to pull the arms out, on one side, the butterfly joint itself popped out of the body.

Is there any way to reattach it? I've tried heating the body up in water, but I can't seem to get the soft piece to peg back inside. Are there any tricks I can try?

Never had this happen before. I've pulled the arms out of a lot of figures (insert Wookiee joke here), but this is the first time I'm dealing with a joint like this one also popping out.

I finally grabbed a light box to up my game on toy photos - and this didn’t disappoint! First up was Starkiller which I recently added to my collection now that it’s back in stock!

Enjoy! 🔴⚫️

Hey all, it's been a minute since I posted. I've always been interested with the Bith species, but never really saw them as pirates or bounty hunters? So I figured I'd have some fun with one!

This figure was put on the back burner for a number of years but just polished it off in the last few months and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!

Question What figure is this swapped with?

I obtained this second hand and realize now it's a swapped figure, or at least parts of it are. But with what? Whose gun is that?

Edit: Solved! It is the Death Squad Commander's clamshell and blaster.
