First costume, ODST (for halo fest)

[rdm]

Hello there,

This forum will be my journey of 3d printing a Desert themed ODST for Halo Fest. So I got my 3d printer last Thursday (2/26/2026), it is a Bambu Lab A1 printer. The plan is to print some miscellaneous items like Biofoam first, then I will begin to print out the pieces of armor later. I will be sharing updates on my costume throughout the year and I hope to see some of you guys at Halo Fest.


Printed a M6C SOCOM on Sunday (3/1/2026)

Anyway that is all I have for now, have a good day ladies and gentlemen!

Thats a good looking SOCOM! Whose files are you planning on using for the ODST Files?

Thank you! And I will be using the Galatic Armory ODST files. I really like the amount of details they provide and I think it would great in my color scheme

UPDATE: I have finished printing a Biofoam canister and I believe it came out nicely. The top can move up and down which I think is pretty neat. Also I ordered Bondo and some filler primer so hopefully it should come in soon so I can start painting the Socom and canister.

UPDATE: So I have finished up the M6C Socom and partially the Biofoam canister (I plan on adding a bit of weathering as well as a decal)

also I have started the printing of my armor and DAMN did I not realize how long the helmet alone is gonna take, but hey, its gonna be worth it.

Here are some pictures I took while working on both props
