Hey all,
I wanted to share the progress of my first ever Halo Build. I've made plenty of foam armor builds from numerous video games and anime series but I have never done a full 3D armor print or a Halo Build before.
For the Helmet I used Rainyfire's 3D print files from Thingiverse.
All other armor parts were printed from Moesizzlac files located on thingoverse.
Everything was printed on an Ender 3 pro. The helmet was printed out of Hatchbox PLA. All other armor pieces were printed using Overture PLA +. I opted to place a thin coat of Fiberglass resin on the inside and outside of the armor pieces for added strength and to help remove any layer lines. Gaps were filled with Bondo. Way more primer and sanding cycles than I would like to admit and this is where I am so far.
Since I enjoy adding electronics to my costumes I plan on wiring up LEDs to give that classic Halo 3 glow as well as a couple of fans and a microphone system in the helmet.
