Preparing to start Helioskrill armor set

[YardB90]

Hey all. So as the title says, I’m going to start working on 3D printing the Helioskrill armor set. This set has just stuck out to me since I saw the 3D printing files for it. Hopefully I can get it started after I get my printer set back up and leveled. Has anyone else made this set and have any pointers or tips?

Depends on your printer. You are better of with a print bed size of 35x35 centimetres. I tried printing parts of it on my Ender 3 Pro and it was difficult. Haven`t really finished anything after the first failed attempt. Looking forward to how it turns out!

Ok. Mine is a CR10S with 300x300x400. Did you have any issues with sizing? That’s my biggest hurdle currently
