3D printed ODST

[Rob Crane]

Hi all,
so I have been working on a 3d printed ODST for some time. I didn’t take any progress pics because I just didnt think.

I have the helm, chest plate, some of lower torso pieces done. I also have a 3D printed ma37 and m6c socom.
Some pics are below I hope you like what you see.

Also thoughts on paints. Regular black and greys or try an MTP type paint job?

The armour files and the modular m6 socom are from the brink studios on instagram and etsy
ma37 from thingiverse

M6 so com progress. This is designed to have movable parts by its creator and is very nice. I just messed it up with too much paint. Removable mag slide and trigger

Chest plate will be held in place onto the molle of an British army osprey vest (fingers crossed) I feel this will be a good way to don the armour and keep within a milit type aspect/possible canon

lower torso parts are designed to be a card wallet when assembled

back parts not sure how I will secure yet. Possible molle clips as per chest piece

shoulder will be on an added shoulder of the osprey vest. It is an add on part of the original design. When I get them I will possible screw through the shoulder of the vest into the armour pieces and have a fastener round the lower part of the piece but that’s to be decided.

Helmet. Possibly the most recognisable part of the ODST. Still a work in progress and will have a comms piece added.
Advice on padding and cooling sought after. Along with possible mics and speakers to enable comms with persons not in armour

As far as padding goes, I'm a pretty big fan of the stuff on amazon tbh. I purchased 2 sets of this for both my helmets and they're fantastic because they're fairly modular. As far as cooling goes, there's a ton of different options there too. Personally, I use a set of helmet fans from etsy with a usb battery bank. That may be slightly harder for the ODST since there's typically not a lot of spare room in there.

I was wondering about space as well. Will look into that padding. And have to have a think about the fan. Thank you

Shoulder connector piece failed on the printer. Left it over night and didn’t realise. Onward and upwards onto the next print

MTP camo would be sick even if its only on certain parts, like the thighs or other accent pieces. I'm a sucker for realistic tactical styles.

Lookin' pretty good so far, I've gotta get started on my own ODST outfit AaAaaaa

Do you have any sort of back story in mind for your ODST? I can help to establish how you want it to look.

Properly thinking of doing a full multicam odst. Full colour not the black multicam

It’s a work in progress. Would love to get done for a con mid march

Not much of a back story yet. Was thinking of printing the sniper rifle. I forget its designation and going scout sniper possibly. Either way it would be multicam bdu and armour.

Left shoulder is finished. Need to get some longer hardware so it’s a rough fit atm

Fixed the shoulder print issue. Slowed the print to 50% and it printed out beautifully so same for the other shoulder
