Hello everyone,
I've been slowly working on prepping my Reach build and had a few questions regarding making a full 3D printed suit. I originally planned on making a vacuum formed suit like my current costume:
buuuut, it'll require a lot of investment that I might not be ready to put in. So while scaling pieces in armorsmith, I was wondering why not maybe just 3D print it?
I've worked with 3D printed objects before, prop weapons, helmets to make molds, but never suit parts to be worn at conventions. I was wondering if anyone could share some pros and cons, tips on printing, prepping and materials, and anything else you can think of. I'm still on the fence about it and was hoping my shedding some light into it I'd get a better idea.
Thank you in advance!
For anyone wondering, I'm essentially aiming to make a Reach version of my current suit:
