3D printed armor connetions

[sanderdb01]

I was wondering if anyone had any experience or ideas for connecting 3D printed armor pieces together? For example, I am printing a MC shin piece, and I split it lengthwise down the middle so there is a back piece and a front piece. I then want it to connect together, sandwiching my leg in the middle. Also, my leg is too big for me to just slip it on over my foot to my shin. I have seen other 3D printed armor pieces, but I can't seem to figure out how they have done it. Thanks a bunch everyone, and happy armor making.

Well don't know exactly what the part look like but a simple way to attach the from and back would be to have velcro for it that you can tighten or loosen as you see fit.

You could install hinges at the bottom and run a loop of string through connection points on both halves at the top and synch everything closed with the drawstring. it makes it a bit easier to get into and out of than jamming fingers between leg and plate to do Velcro up.
