Well, printing full armor takes hundreds of hours. About 1000 hours even. It doesn't require filament only, but also the energy cost and everything else...
Meaning you could rather buy a printer yourself. I'm not an expert on 3d printing though, but those printer kits are amazing judging after their quality of printing - you could save some real money than already assembled printers... leaving you with more options how to optimize and improve. But, assembling yourself can be tricky too.
As you see, even printing alone takes A LOT of time. And money. Meaning you could wait 1-2 weeks for just one piece of armor.
Not even saying you'd have to commission someone who would have to make the 3d file which would be another few hundred...
Maybe just try pepakura - either paper with resin and fiberglass or EVA foam?
