I've been a Halo fan for quite a while now, but it was never really something I was able to get into. It was always the game I'd play at my friends house, or I'd hear people talking about (I still remember hearing other kids talk about Halo: Reach when it came out in like third grade), but I...

I actually have a Wineskin wrapper that I found on the RPF a few years ago that works with Pepakura on Mac. I can't remember if you need Wine installed to use it, but it might be a good idea. I'm trying to find a way to upload it right now, Google Drive and Dropbox are being kind of...

Thanks for that TurboCharizard! I checked out those two models you just named, as well as the Creality Ender 3. I compared all of their specs and prices, and I'm still really liking that Monoprice. The larger build volumes of the other printers are good, but except for that, that Monoprice fits...

Also, it uses the same exact tools as foam building. I haven't attempted something more complex like this with sintra, but it's really easy to work with and uses the same tools. Heat gun, utility knife, etc. I'm having a hard time choosing not to do this for my next build, or at least parts of...

Thanks, I'll do that! From what I understand it's not all that difficult to level the print bed and make sure the various axises are aligned - there's a tool that comes with it for leveling the Z axis on both of the lead screws.

Holy crap, I love how this is turning out! I can't wait to see you make more progress on this build especially with the painting and weathering. The sintra sheet gives it a harder look with more defined edges than I've seen of some foam builds, and it looks like it's easier to finish and paint...

Sorry if this counts as necroposting, or if this thread isn't meant to be replied to. But I haven't found another appropriate place I could post this question. Do any of you have experience with the Monoprice Maker Select Plus? It's a Prusa i3 clone. I'm about to pull the trigger on one so I can...

This podcast from Tested shows a lot of different ways to cool a suit, save for the typical PC fans and ice pack vests. Provided you can find the parts, some of them like Adam's cooling garment on his 2001: A Space Odyssey costume would work really well. It uses ice water being pumped through...

Personally, I'm pretty excited for it. I can live with the gameplay changes as I've had a fairly limited opportunity to play the old style Halo games (hopefully that changes soon!), but the art style was pretty dang awful in 4 and 5. I used to love it, but it's a huge pain in the butt to make...

When you have 2-3 different suits of armor WIP, 5 failed attempts you're afraid to throw in the trash, and you still want to start another build.

I can't wait to see you finish this suit, it already looks straight out of the game.

I would say there's no such thing as too many. I admittedly bit off too much to chew when I joined this site way back, and I haven't been too active since. I made plans to do a H4 suit of Chief armor, and it failed for a variety of reasons. I don't have the supplies or PPE for working with...

This undersuit build looks amazing!

I love how your HUD is turning out, with the near IR camera and other components. Have you considered attaching the helmet LEDs to the Raspberry Pi? You could even hook up a couple of PC fans to it, to activate automatically when your thermometer exceeds a certain amount. Man, I really need to...

Don't buy files from eBay. That's violating the terms of use of this site, as those people are profiting off of others work. You should be able to access some of them from Halo wikia. There's plenty of stuff on the archive here already, not on the old site, unless you want something really odd...
