[ATTACH=full]313055[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]313056[/ATTACH]And that's how it turned out! I wanted it to come apart so that I could swap out the different plates for sniper or CQB plates without completely changing the shoulder base armour. I haven't made the other plates yet, but I will at some point! After the design phase, (which I just skimmed over in two sentences even though it took me like a whole day lmao) I printed them out, and it ended up working out awesome! [ATTACH=full]313057[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]313058[/ATTACH]with the shoulder working just fine, (one of the most straightforward parts to make actually), I moved onto the belt section. The belt was pretty straightforward, made up of some pretty simple parts. the biggest design thing I did was design the hip plates to be printed flat, to minimize support material, and improve strength. [ATTACH=full]313062[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]313063[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]313064[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]313061[/ATTACH]The plates were attached to fabric padding and a belt and then integrated into the armour. [ATTACH=full]313065[/ATTACH]After sorting the front of the belt section, I moved onto the thighs.I decided to model the thigh in one piece, mostly because that's how the plate looks in game. It also conveniently happened that my printer was just big enough to print it in one part too. I did want to add hardpoints for potential bags and pouches to be added later, so I wanted to make the clips removable and space for straps behind them. Finally, I wanted the inserts inside the shin armour to be a flexible/foam material rather than plastic.so, just like the shoulders, I got to designing. [ATTACH=full]313059[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]313060[/ATTACH]The clips just slot into gaps, and the gaps double as hard points for straps and stuff. After designing, I printed it all out. [ATTACH=full]313066[/ATTACH]They fit! After successful printing, I got working on the inserts. [ATTACH=full]313067[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]313068[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]313069[/ATTACH]So, making slow progress on this thread, Its good to be getting the documentation finally! Cheers for reading, Jono @ FromTheBrink</blockquote>
