Just following up, the armor and helmet remaster went out today! I'm super proud of the improvements made and think it will help a lot of folks out! Those that purchased the older version should get an update email in the coming hours with a new download link .
Can I just say, WOW. I only looked at just the Helmet files and they are spectacular. You really thought of everything. I was just about to do a printout of my modified previous version you had, but now I'll have to add all my modifications to this newest model. It is VERY nice. I LOVE the nice extra touch of providing the sizing slice. Very Very NICE!
 
Hey Draxes! I know I'm super late to this But after seeing this build I became inspired as I am trying to make the same set of armor. Just had a few questions, with mobility, and rigging. Because most of this is 3d printed do you find any parts clash together or restrict movement at all besides the belt piece? And rigging I don't even know where to start when setting up my armor as mine as little to no attachment points built into it. Im still very new so any advice or tips on this would mean the world to me and help SOOO much. Awesome build man by far one of the coolest chief armors I've seen built.

I am actually pretty happy with my range of movement. If you read my tutorial I go over specific spots that I had to overcome. But if I were to give one specific advice to flexibility, make sure you digitally cut out as large as you can the arm holes in the chest armor. The Galatic Armory guys just rereleased updated files so they might have fixed all those issues. I hope so. I really don't know about the new files. I would HIGHLY recommend using the newer files because it seems they tried to fix a lot of issues. As for rigging, the only real rigging I have is attaching the biceps to my torso and attaching my thighs to my belt. Most of the other armor is just held in place with my clothing.

I am actually really jealous you will be using the new 3D files. It is probably going to be WAY easier than what I had to go through. Please share with us your progress. I'd love to see how it came out. I just reprinted my helmet using the new files and it was so enjoyable.

Thank you so much for this advice Draxes really... Already learning a lot and your thread is by far one of the most detailed I've seen. I am using the newer files and they have some attachment points on the armor that are super helpful, and the openings have a lot more clearance I believe, but trying to figure out how to rig it all is tough for me as a newbie. I supposes its part of the fun and I'll definitely figure it out! I'm thinking on using a harness system similar to yours, so I can attach some elastics and buckles and the keep the armor fitting snug without sliding. Of course man I'm going to post a forum of it in the new recruits section! You can watch the chaos of my build unfold ahahaha :D

I would recommend getting a belt like this: Versatile Waist Belt Molle System Waist Pack Set Outdoor - Temu

instead of the climbing gear I used. Much cheaper and that is really all you need.
 
Good afternoon, everyone.
Where can I find these free files so I can assemble this Halo armor (Master Chief - Jhon-117) in .PDO (Pepakura) or in .STL / .3MF (3D Printer)?
