    What three things would you store in the chest of your Spartan?

    1. A photo of a woman. I don't know who, just going to google search "woman" then pick a random number and print that. 2. A Fingertech Banana for Scale....because you know.....banana for scale. Its a real thing! 3. A set of keys that no one knows what they go to. This is both cosplay and in...

    1st Build Kaz's ODST Build

    It is (was when I started) 4 am and I've lost control of my life lul. With the Halo TV series dropping this week my favorite bar here in Vegas, Millennium Fandom, is hosting a Halo night. Being that I love this bar and I love Halo I've put in an effort to at least have something presentable...

    1st Build Kaz's ODST Build

    So with way more effort than it should have been, I was able to save the one shoulder that had uncured bondo on it. The bondo was to hard to just scrape off, but to gummy to sand. Solution? I took a metal rasp and file and was able to get most of it off that way. Then several layers of primer...

    1st Build Kaz's ODST Build

    Back from the dead? Yea, I'll necro my own post. But hey, life uh....gets in the way. Let me start out by filling in that 4 month gap between when I last posted a build and today. So mid September I had a rush to build to cope with my motorcycle getting stolen. But then in October I was dealing...

    Question for the 3D Printed Armor Wearers

    I found one on Etsy, but also someone on discord in the Mtn Reg said he'd make me one when he does his next batch of them. I also have someone from a local maker space that has offered to help teach me vacuforming when that maker space reopens at its new location.

    Question for the 3D Printed Armor Wearers

    I used the straps out of a cheap Home Depot hard hat to lift it off my head. I then lined it with foam to give it some sound dampening. Have a look at my build post. I think I linked it a few replies up. I might make some sort of GoPro housing in the future for reasons. That’s my fully 3D...

    Question for the 3D Printed Armor Wearers

    Yes and no. It was sliced in Cura and set to fit as one piece in the printer, and it did fit. But 2 days into the print the printer broke, thermal sensor on the print bed burnt out. We got it repaired and restarted from about where it left off. For taller, or larger, or more complex parts, I...

    Question for the 3D Printed Armor Wearers

    My thing is that I like to go to a local cosplay bar. My thought process was this. Come home from work, suit up, hop in a Uber so I don't have to pay for parking and do that whole drink and drive thing. Jump out of the Uber like Im about to steal Red Teams Flag and have a good night. Though...

    Question for the 3D Printed Armor Wearers

    1st Build Kaz's ODST Build

    With RTX2022 confirmed to be in person next year, I have 9 months to get into gear! Been making some good progress the past few weeks though with a new motivation, drive, and set of skills. It's also helping me cope with my motorcycle being stolen. Roommate said "Focus on the things you can...

    1st Build My first 3D printed Spartan build!

    If you are in the US, most hardware stores like Home Depot or Lowes should have body filler (One of the bands is Bondo) in the automotive section. You can also probably find it at any auto parts store like Auto Zone or O O O O'Rileys.

    3d printing first helmet, looking for advice

    Like others have said, play around with the rotation. My ODST bucket took 7 days. (18 if you count the down time for the printer breaking mid way through. We also put it at about 5 or so deg to the side with the opening up. This reduced the over all supports by a lot. Though from other prints, I...

    1st Build Kaz's ODST Build

    It took around 47 hours to print, but I got the chest plate printed and started prepping it. Body filler, primer, and sanding. Then my normal work space was taken over so I could do more sanding. But I too this time to moc up how I want to mount it to the torso. I want something that allows me...

    1st Build My first 3D printed Spartan build!

    Advice I'd give, print small. Like slice any big parts into smaller ones. So if a 72 hour long print fails on hour 68, your not out 3+ days of printing. I'm totally not speaking form experience. Also, have fun with it. Its a lot of work, and might look like a big hill to climb, but its worth it.
