1st Build How to reinforce ODST armor from Galactic armory?

[Kelcat]

I plan on buying the suit here soon, i heard from many sources here that they are more then worth it!! im just curious on how to make it stronger / more durable like they suggest?

Stronger than what? - You haven't printed anything yet.
Don't go looking for problems unless you actually find them. Those are good files.
What makes you think it needs any kind of "reinforcement"?

you could add more wall thickness maybe? like 3-5 walls, but it will get heavier.

So, you might need to clarify your question, Kelcat , as Galactic Armory sells 3D Print Files for ODSTs, but they have also partnered with Sean Bradley to sell his Vacuum Form ODST armor kits.

If you're getting the Sean Bradley Studios ODST armor kit, the most common method of reinforcing it was to add a layer of Fiberglass to the inside of the pieces. This was done because the plastic Sean used to pull his kits back in the day was relatively thin and prone to cracking or tearing at the edges. I have not spoken to anyone who has purchased the kit from Galactic Armory, so I'm not sure if the same level of plastic is being used by GA that Sean used to used, or if they have upgraded to a different or thicker plastic. If you do a search ere on the Forum for "Sean Bradley ODST Kit" you should have many, many Work In Progress or build threads of members putting together their kits from Sean that can show you how they reinforced their kits.

I'm not sure if it is listed on GA's website, or if they send it when you purchase it, but here is a link to Sean's original instruction manual for his ODST kits. It does cover reinforcement of the armor as part of it.
