SI3RRA 117 Thanks :) PerniciousDuke I took a look, and I will definitely be following her progress :) Some time has gone and a bit of progress has been made, school has taken up a lot of my time, but I hope to get time for crafting over the summer. I have made both arms, a lot of tweaking was...

So I have been lurking in here for quite some time, and I have finally begun on the undersuit of my Mark VI armor. I wanted to make a custom undersuit and seeing as there are so few custom undersuit builds out there, I thought why not put up my progress. First I made a sketch of the suit...

That looks amazing :O I am really looking forward to seeing the whole suit done :D

My university has 3D printers students can use. That is the only reason I am able to make this. 3D printers are great, I wish I had one for my self. :)

I have gotten a message about how I split the models to fit inside of a 3D printer, so I thought why not make a post in the thread so other people can use it as well. Disclaimer: The way I am doing it is in no way the easiest or the best way to do it. I have used the UD pepakura files...

So I have printed both forearms and glued them together And the small plates I use to glue the parts together works better than expected. I have dropped and pulled in the pieces and it holds, so yea \o/ Tomorrow I am going to print the elbow thingies that is missing on the pieces, so the...

It actually holds up better than expected, but I am definitely going to stabilize it in some way, I am thinking some 3D printed plates glued to the inside. I'll take it into consideration with the dowels, I am still working on optimizing my models :D I don't know a lot about fiberglass so for...

Time for a little update. I am almost done with the left forearm I need to find a better way to connect the pieces, they are to thin some places for the epoxy to stick... Anyway I am currently making the helmet in paper, just to make sure it will fit when I print it :)

I really like your Donut armor, I am hoping to make Tucker myself :D I am definitely gonna use your thread as a go-to if I ever get stuck, your videos are amazing.

For that part I used around 5.7 meters with a fill density of 10%. I am lucky enough that my university have 3D printers so I don't have to pay for the material. The part I printed is really solid so I don't think it would hurt making it thinner.

I have decided to try and make a 3D printed Mark VI suit. I have been trying to find inspiration from other people, but there are no way near enough threads about how to go about it. So I decided to just try doing something, see how it goes, post it here and hopefully get some advice on how to...
