Honestly? Had to drop the project entirely. My 3D printer broke down and I haven’t had time to fix it, I imagine I won’t find the time to do so in the near future either. That said, I did complete the model. If I remember correctly, I have a half finished model of the chestpiece as well. Have...

Thank you~

So it’s been a while since my last post. Long story short, I’ve had to put a pause on this project for the time being, I apparently have much more outside work I need to get done than what I had thought, so I have to ration time. I’ll probably have to maintain radio silence for a while longer.

Well. My computer is trying very hard not to burst into flames. Meshmixer has never performed great for me, but wow. Anyway, here's this. I know very few of the tools in meshmixer, up until now I've only used it for splitting. Hit close cracks, it froze for like 12 minutes, and then this...

The issue is fixed, that's just an explanation as to why I won't be trying solidify again. The thicken shell tool looks promising though.

The solidify modifier made a complete mess of interior geometry, intersecting geometry, and non-manifold faces. That's what I was referring to when I said that I took time to fix it. So that's not an option. Good thought though.

Well. Problem. After looking more closely at the model, I have found that I most likely won't be thick enough. Too bad I already took several hours to fix it with the current thickness. Any thoughts? The first thing that comes to mind is to select the inside and scale it in, and then reset the z...

Thanks for the confirmation~ Ill try and edit the mesh a little and get it a little smaller, but if that doesn't work Ill print it as is.

True enough. I probably chose the most inconvenient helmet to match this armor, but I'll probably figure it out.

Ah yes, that's much more reasonable Though it does raise some concerns. Like how am I actually going to move my head around? Should probably figure that out before I make it.

That's probably true, but I don't have a torso piece designed. So then is that a normal looking scale? First build, I have nothing to compare it to.

So, this is a problem. Trying to scale it, but it looks comically large if it's scaled up enough to take on and off. That's normal size/\ Here it is scaled to fit when taking on and off\/

Alright, Ill clean out the nozzle before the next print and see how it goes, thanks~

Test print complete. There are some weird gaps between some layers, don't know what the story behind that is, otherwise it turned out pretty decent.
