1st Build About to start my Mk V(b) build! (3d printed)

Love the steady progress, doing good!



For splitting up models you can use tools included with certain slicer programs, Orca slicer has a great slicer feature that creates dovetails to help with alignment. Otherwise, you can use Microsoft 3D Builder you can get for free inside Microsoft Store. It's pretty archaic but it'll do well enough for simple splits.

I found out the chest piece has multiple different parts (back piece, front, and abs) who it will be a lot easier to break it down into smaller pieces from there!

About halfway done or more! All I have to do now is print the right side (bicep, forearm, thigh, calf, and boot) then the Helmet!! so excited.
I'll post a pic with half of it on once I finish attaching all of the chest parts.

Finally got the torso welded together and the helmet printed! All I have to do now is print the right side of the armor. Hopefully the weather will warm up so I can start sanding soon.

Got pretty much everything printed!!! (tried to wear it but everything kept falling off lmao)
Up next sanding and undersuit/arm and neck gaskets!

They look like its coming across well what colours you going for once you got sanding done?
