First full armor build! Halo Infinite MC build

[TorrinNorixius]

Right now I have the left shin, shin insert, top of boot, and both hand plates printed. still need to sand them down and use some filler primer on them but I am waiting for my test prints for the rest of the boot to make sure it all looks alright. After that I'm going to start sizing/printing the thigh

Little update. Got the heel printed and have the front of the boot printing right now.

Great to see you started a build thread! Your leg components are looking great, I can't wait to see how you finish them up!

 

[marinesniper]

i agree with Delta great looking leg parts will be watching to see how you finish these.

Thanks for yall's support! means a lot since I'm not that confident in my abilities xD. little update though, the boot decided to misprint so I have to re-print it. After that though I will do the codpiece since if I get that done I can get a better estimate for how I should do the thighs. will post an update on Monday since that is when I'm back home to my printers

Got the front of the boot printed and now im printing size rings for both the left thigh and the codpiece

Looking good! What is your plan for seating inside your boots? Will you be doing platforms for additional height or just sitting the shoe in and calling it a day? Looking forward to seeing more progress!

 

[TorrinNorixius]

The Boots themselves go under and around my shoe and have about an inch of height on em, I did a test and im almost 2 inches taller with these and the shoe on.

 

[TorrinNorixius]

I did a test and I am able to walk with them on, so it's going pretty well so far

Those prints are looking mighty clean, can't wait to see more !

small update, currently trying to modify the boot a bit so i can fit some army boots in them instead of tennis shoes so the shin sits nicer

Edit: the only problem as to why the boots do not fit is because the toe area is a bit too short for the taller boots

 

[TorrinNorixius]

Might be a long shot but I can try. If it doesn't pan out I will just print a new one that fits the boot

Is it just the tread of the boot that shows or is it the boot itself?.

edit: I see the problem now, could you just get rid of the boot cover floor?

If it comes down to it I will. Gonna try to keep the extra height if I can but if not, oh well

If you're wanting to keep the extra height you could try Dremeling out the toe area on the top. Not sure how thick the toe area is but might be an avenue. If it's too thin to Dremel, you could try reprinting the foot but slicing it with a bit of a gap between the sole and the top. Would need gap filler, obviously, but you could keep the height and theoretically add all the room you need for your shoe/boot to fit properly.

Yeeeeeaaaah, that's what I was planning on. I just need to find my dremel lol.

FWTW, if you lose yours, this is what I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DB3N9FB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For the price it's an insane value. Works like a charm.
