AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD IM BACK!
I've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes because 3D printing can take days to complete depending on the size or speed of the piece. But I do have a lot of pretty pictures to show off.
First off the full collection of what I have completed. Both Bicep pieces, Forearms, Hand Plates and a Commando Shoulder. The shoulder However I will be re-doing as it is too small and just doesn't mesh right with my Bicep Attachment.
A Closer look at the right arm pieces. More sanding needs to be done and of course Painting. I didn't take a closeup of the bicep to show its deficiencies but that's something i wanted to point out. As the print gets further away from the bed it loses heat and then the layers fail to stick together properly. I should be able to fix this with some ABS glue which I intend to try out soon but for now I still need to sand it down properly and remove stray imperfections.
The left side, Lookin' damn good.
And an example! Here is what the pieces look like on my arm. I do have limited mobility in the bend as the pieces touch together so I may be considering taking off an extra few bits at the top of the forearm, we shall see once I have that figured out.
Next up on the print bed, EVA Shoulder attachment. Which should be done in another two days or so so check back for a post on that.
I know that Halo Reach is 8 years old now but it is still my favorite out of the series. When coming out of hiatus I considered looking into doing something different and moving on to 5 but It's terribly hard to find STLs for those pieces and there are so damn many. I also haven't played 5 that much because I don't have live so aside from looking up pictures of all the armors I have no reference to what I would want to do. In the meantime I am sticking with reach and I hope you all don't mind.
Vi Out!
