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 progress further.
My method is to take the pepakura files export them to an .obj file and opening them in SketchUp (Using an extension) scaling them and then adding 1mm debt to the models.
My first and only print was the bottom halve of the forearm guard, and it actually turned out better than expected
I need to print the top part next and glue them together and hopefully they will fit (crossing all fingers).
If any of you have any good ideas about a different approach please tell me, I am always on the lookout for new ideas.
