Just wanted to pop in and thank everyone for the tips and advice. I opted with turning the fan off, raised the print temperature, increased the infill to 20% and wall thickness to 1.5mm. After gluing the two test pieces together using acetone, I placed the piece in an old pot with acetone...

FalseShepherd Thanks for the insight and it does help. I do have an enclosure with the machine, so that is a plus. As far as gluing the pieces, I made an acetone glue with some of the ABS supports from the pieces. It is a thin milky consistency an seems to work well. The breakages were not...

Where are all my 3D printing guru's? Ran into a small issue. I had the 8 pieces of the barrel assembly put together and was cleaning it up when it slipped from my hands. When it hit the ground, it broke in to 3 pieces. While a bit irritating for the set back, I realized that I had tried to...

This is................amazing! (y)

Hello everyone. After quite a hiatus from the forum, thought I would jump back in. About a year ago, I received my Snapmaker 2.0 A350 and it has been chugging along almost non stop. Only problem was, I was making things for everyone else! Laser engraving this, printing that, etc., etc. etc...

Damn, better than what I did my first time. That is some legit looking armor! Well Done!!!! What colors you going with for the armor?

As long as you "create" some type of intake for the air, I think it could be done. Looking at the helmet and side pieces, I would probably take the bottom part of the conical pieces out and create a hidden intake on the bottom so as not ruin the conical effect. Cover the intake with some...

If what I have read on previous threads, its not necro-posting if the person who created the thread revives it. If I am wrong, please let me know. I revived the thread simply because the cheek pieces on the ODST helmet have always haunted me for being of actual use. There is a whole lot of...

Still chugging along on this build all while working on other projects at the same time, so I figured I'd do a photo dump as an update. Here goes: I drew up a shield years ago just sketching and thought this idea would be a great build for my wife's armor set.......BUT WAIT.......THERE'S MORE...

Thank you sir and I suspect that 4 sheets is not going to be enough. I figure each sheet is 24 Sq. Ft., so that gives me 96 Sq. Ft. to start with and I'll order more when needed. I certainly did not factor in cost to this build, but I've started it, so now I'll have to see it to completion. I...

Alrighty...................Hurdle #2: The insane amount of foam I am going to need for this build. Why. Oh Why did I decide to do the 7' - 8' version of this! Because go big or go home right?! :lol: So I placed an order for four full sheets (4' x 6') of 1/2" XLPE foam but because of the...

Thanks he4thbar for the suggestions. Not being one to fully sit around waiting for answers, I went ahead and got started and will figure it out as I go. After talking to a few Warhammer players online and getting some suggestions from friends, I decided to go with the Dark Angels chapter for...

Hello all. After finishing my ODST, I got tied up in projects for others and haven't figured out what I wanted to do for myself. Well, I stumbled upon the Warhammer 40K cosplay and have spent the past several days reading up on it and looking in to the build process. The size and complexity...

I used velcro throughout my entire suit. Well, more specifically, the thighs and the shoulders. I sewed (2) 1.5" strips about 10 inches long to my pants and contact cemented the opposite ones inside the thighs. Slide them up your leg and press them in. I walked all over the place and never...

Been busy building all kinds of other knick knacks for other people, so now its time to get back to this build. Fit test is done and there are a couple of things that became apparent. The hip plates will need more curvature and definitely some padding in the helmet. I don't really care for...
