Hello! I'm very new to this community but nonetheless I want to build my very own spartan armor. As I already have a 3d printer and some skill with Autodesk Fusion I thought I might 3d print my set.
I quickly realised this would not be as easy as I thought and have already encountered several problems. I was wondering if anybody else here has attempted this and how you managed it. As it stands the printer I have is a Prusa MK3s and it seems most armor pieces will be to large to print as is and I will need to split them up.
I'm having a lot of difficulty editing STL files in Fusion. I'm basically just looking for tips if there are any.
Thanks!
[UPDATE TIME]
I have printed the front part of the helmet and some details along with it. I have since run out of plastic and am currently waiting for more to arrive.
I have also begun priming and sanding the UA attachment to the helmet and it is turning out very well. This is the third coat of primer before sanding
I'm actually really really enjoying this project so far, it feels really good to shape this stuff out and make it look good. I feel like I have got a grip on the techniques and 3d tools I'm working with.
Stay frosty out there
