I did the same thing, but opposite. Mine was too small the first time, so I had to reprint 7% bigger.

I am alive and my filament has arrived and I have started re printing and will update when parts finish

The Marines are so underrated. This looks like it's gonna be awesome!

I have printed the back of the helmet again and I have the jaw guard going to see when it’s done if the helmet is correct now if not I know what I got to change but I hope this one is correct

Good work so far, love the idea of printing it in the OD green saves time. I just finished my own H3 marine so message me if you have any questions on how to rig everything together!

Super late but here I am I finished it and it’s a bit big but padding should make it more like it fits but now I’m gonna prioritize on making the chest piece

Thank you and I will probably take you up on that offer cause I have no idea how I’m gonna attempt to rig it and if you have any tips on sizing it I’m open to those also. I am very new to this and have no idea how to do it

Rigging is always the most difficult part however I'm more than happy to help! Sizing Is also extremely difficult especially with the armor smith situation. I recommend finding someone to help size your pieces correctly before you go printing. Plenty of helpful people in the 405th discord! And you can always reach out to me on there too.

Updated about the chest piece for when I get to the rigging part

I'm currently in the middle of doing a Halo 3 Marine helmet for a friend of mine that requested it for his birthday. The Marine helmet is pretty nice and I definitely agree that it's an underrated armor set. Especially for the mobility aspect. It's also probably the "easiest" for doing an undersuit, since you can use BDUs/cammies from a surplus store.
If he's really nice, I'll probably do the rest of the armor for him as well and then use that peer pressure to turn him into my handler at local Cons.

Helmet is looking good, keep us updated on the progress!

They are coming along nicely these should fit I’m printing them at 118% still have a lot more to go there is a lot of pieces

 

[Wraithjaw]

I do have the other two pieces done to complete the front but my printer is giving me trouble trying to start the back pieces so it’s been a bit slow apologies about slow updates

What files are those? I dig the details on the chestplate and helmet, and might restart my marine to the same files as you

Sorry for super late reply was workin on somethings and I almost have the chest piece done will post pic when off work. I just need three more parts and to smooth out the weird wavy texture I have been getting but I don’t remember the name of the person I bought it from but it’s from maker world I’m pretty sure I can post link when I post the pictures
