Hope to have all the pieces main and under bits printed by mid September, PLA welded, sanded and primed by the end of September, with padding and strapping done by mid October.

Update Time. Been doing alot of travel and had to re print a few pieces due to them being just slightly to small (luckily they fit my wife... Project V2) So I have the the COD front and back finished along with the Chest front and back. Currently the Helmet is printing (6.5 days) and man do...

Almost 8 days later and both Thigh's are hot off the printer and now onto the COD Piece. Unfortunately it just barely doesn't fit on my Ender 5+ so had to break that in to 2 parts.

Small update had to travel for a few weeks for work and couldn't get the printer going while I was gone. 114ish hours for the left thigh only 42 or so hours left.

71.5 Hours on the second shin about 8.5 hours to go. Shaved about a day off the first one with some crafty modeling, Have moved into the Smoothing process and trying to get down my process. Using wood filler diluted with water painted 1 coat on sanded with 400 grit then primed. Still shows...

I'm not sure. It would depend on the quality of how smooth you are looking for. I haven't had a chance to smooth and prime any pieces yet so not sure how long that will take. If I can get it done in an hour or 2 probably like 20 more bucks. I'm going to smooth and primer some pieces this weekend...

It is an ender 5 plus. Pretty much stock minus an all metal extruder as the stock plastic one broke.

95 hours later left shin is finished. Pay for that build volume better use it.

Looking at the print time and filament usage 80 USD even plush shipping to print and clean. I have blocked out as much support as I can knowing my printer. I have messed with it for about 3 hours to get the most optimal orientation and blocks in place. If I cut it up into more pieces it could...

How big would you ideally want it to be? Depending on size I may be able to do it in 2 or 3 pieces. Cura does have a Vase mode that would print the object hollow however due to some over hangs on print orientation it may have to have some degree of infill. Not saying 100% but at least 10% or so...

While I'm waiting for left shin to finish decided to try my hand at blender. Left shin has a big section of support material that went down to the build plate. Added in quite a few 45degree angles under the overhangs and was able to completely remove support material in the inner section going...

First big item and its going to use almost the full build volume!

Boot bits fit my old navy boots like a glove.

Well Had the factory plastic extruder break (shocker) so after an all metal replacement and fresh bed level the parts have been coming out SUPER clean and sharp. Since then the biceps and shoulders have finished up nicely and fit like a glove. Need to get me a soldering iron with a wide tip...

I thought about doing the one with the piece missing to but the inside wasn't smooth and required more filament with supports. Even after removing and re positioning alot of them the V2 version just took less time.
