Hey, so as the title says im sorta new to all of this but I'm really considering on making my own armor suit. I've read some forums and kinda got a background idea of it all, but I could still use a lot of advice and guidance on what I should do and where to go for things.
So I know to make a suit there's three ideal materials that people have been posting about: foam, pepakura, and 3D prints. Ive read that foam is easier, but I personally think it'd be cool to have a 3D printed set (even though it might cost more money and time) but once again I'm not an expert on the pros and cons of things. I could start with foam to get a better idea of sizing and whatnot that way beginning mistakes won't cost much then switch over to 3D printing for the whole thing? Idk. Any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated
