I don't know what the nozzle size is off hand but I'm using 3mm ink. I'm using a lulzbot Taz 6 and I don't have two much of an issue with my print infills but as I've mentioned before I need to replace the PEI bed as it's bubbling and some prints give me trouble but that's usually because of the...
Got any tutorials? I could use the help.
I do a 20% infil generally and only with a few pieces did I do a 2mm wall. I keep it really light but I like the 20% range because it gives it a really solid feeling. I know what you mean about pinch points, I have put the armor on my arms a few times...
Man trust me I sanded these bad boys a lot! it's so hard to get rid of the lines to a smooth texture, maybe if I switch to PLA it will turn out better? I'm sure my future pieces will be a lot better but thanks for the advice!
Not a completed armor set but I figured I would post this here. It is a recently finished Halo Reach Commando Shoulder piece. The part is 3D printed and the paint was rattle can but I think it turned out really well!
I think you got the wrong forum bud. This is the southwest regiment that covers Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma. I would try the Southern regiment but don't get me wrong I think this regiment would gladly welcome you if you need a place to call home.
Man I can't wait to show you all this!
I am very proud of how this came out. Admittedly I was far lasier (SP?) with the EVA shoulder detail than I was with the Commando Shoulder. It still turned out pretty well.
First off photos will the Masking tape still on.
ANNNNDDDD NOWWW the best...
Dude where were you like 2 weeks ago before I started painting! I have done a little work with PLA before but I am finding ABS to work better with my particular printer. It's probably just a print setting that I haven't figured out yet. I will give that a shot in the future though so thank you...
Two Update Tuesday! Wait Sunday? Second Update Sunday? Sure well go with that.
I couldn't help myself and I started painting again. I am also taking a risk and Printing the EVA shoulder again, 3rd times the charm?
I started by masking off areas on the commando shoulder. I'm going to be using...
So....... Power died again, for the second time of me trying to print the EVA shoulder piece..... I think its cursed.
I wasn't even 10 hours into the print XD.
BUT! on a happier note what do you guys think about this?
I am thinking of using this sticker here after its painted.
That's all...
Its Go Time!!!!!
So, more pictures. I wrote about needing to re-print the Commando shoulder and I decided to do just that. Let me just preface that this thing is HUGE and I love it :D
This time I scaled it to max and then increased the width to I think 200mm. For reference its box dimensions...
I actually haven't given it away but send me a PM, lets see what we can work out if you want it.
UPDATE TIME!!
and it's a huge failure. I lost power at my house last night so my print stopped after two days XD. I probably only had 10 more hours left to print
but I did notice it was...
Oh SH! T I forgot the most important part! Kids be sure to give credit where credit is due!
HUGE Thank you to nemesis2500 as he is the one that originally provided me with the STLs for this Reach Suit and it is his designs that I will be using along with a few others. He helped me out long ago...
AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD IM BACK!
I've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes because 3D printing can take days to complete depending on the size or speed of the piece. But I do have a lot of pretty pictures to show off.
First off the full collection of what I have completed. Both Bicep pieces...
