Re: Major Muffun Donut ! 3Dprinted ABS H4 armor WIP

I am SUPER excited about the chest. Ive ran the math . I am NOT gonna need a 2ed printer !
Its master spread sheet time ( Ill add it to the first thread too)
Here is the chest breakdown

Sooo I have 15 parts outta about 60 ..Ive not Diced 002 or 004 so I dont know but I assume 12 parts too.


( spoiler alert!!!
My goal is Kumokon in early sept .)

So I am pushing this a tad harder . Most parts take 3H a pop as these are small thin parts .

Ive gota missing shoulder plate and I need to figure a way to make boots .

this gives me a few weeks for soft goods and glassing
"Capt cupcake" is on target ...

I dont see this going over 9 rolls of plastic at this point . on No7 right now half done
25 a spool so far 225 of plastic
paint wise I am in 6 cans of " lightish red " * snickers * so 25 in paint .
Fiberglass and epoxy is not known .I have it here in my spare bins so a price is hard to pin down.

I had a brill Idea . Ive got some of these in blue ( as you might have seen in the Shin pics above)
https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/m...r-printed-compression-leggings/pid1258897-001

these in the black have that Hexagon effect I seen on the H4 armor Undersuit . I just need a matching top and Volla proper wicking stuff!
Yea its a tad light in color more of a grey, I may just dye it a tad with RIT.

In fact I think my local Fred myer in town has them .


EDIT .looks like they dont have a top in the same color .

This looks awesome man! I really cant wait to see it finished personally i would 3d print too because i like the detail and symmetry but sadly i dont have the money to do so.
 
Re: Major Muffun Donut ! 3Dprinted ABS H4 armor WIP

Thanks M0nster!
Ive been busy! more chest. I am gonna reprint the middle front 003 part as it was kinda saggy.
I am really glad I did not blow $1250 on the chest from shapeways. I can Milk 2 Conventions with that kinda cash.

It looks great man. I'm jelly of your 3d printer lol. My fingers are tied from all this cutting.
 
Re: Major Muffun Donut ! 3Dprinted ABS H4 armor WIP

Thanks!

It fits VERY well the initial scaling was spot on. I kinda wanna make more now.
I picked up some MARPAT cammies at goodwill for a ODST or a UNSC Marine
 
Re: Major Muffun Donut ! 3Dprinted ABS H4 armor WIP

Re: Major Muffun Donut ! 3Dprinted ABS H4 armor WIP

Printing is not as simple as it looks ...... 100 + parts to glue and mate .
Its a fun challenge that is for shure


I just did something that is Soooo Donut... No only can Donut decorate and cook . He can partyyyyyy..

I slipped in some speakers in to the pods./

The printing is the easy part. Getting the files right and ready is not. If I had the time to learn the software and how to do it all I would buy one. Do you print in solid or have you been using honeycomb for the inside?
It would be awesome if you did a quick write up of how you turn the pep files into printable parts. You don't need to go into details of the program or anything. Thanks buddy.
Probably shared before but,
How big is your printing table, or what type and model do you own? I take it you use windows, does the software also work on macs?
