I've always wanted to do cosplay but never had the time, but with Corona I thought: it's now or never.
I bought myself a big 3D Printer (CR-10 V2 from Creality). I spent a few months just printing little things and get into 3D printing and 3D modeling software. Then my printer broke and it took me a few weeks to repair it.
I bought PETG filament which (luckily) matches the color of the helmet just perfect:
I thought I will be too lazy to paint all the 3D parts (it is a lot of work with all the smoothing), but at the end I painted most of the parts anyway.
I decided to make the 2016 praetor suit as I think the suit from doom eternal doesn't look as good.
Also there are free 3D files for the 2016 praetor suit. See my collection on thingiverse: Doom Slayer: A Collection by Whatever6
I started with the gloves, but I did not like the 3D files, so I improved them a little bit, see my remix on thingiverse: DOOM Slayer Glove improved and scaled by Whatever6
I honestly do not like the print quality but at the moment I focus on the bigger things.
Here are some of the bigger parts from my collection which I printed (party painted) and glued together.
I used some car putty do get rid off the gap, but in retrospect, I could have used it to fill the entire part so its all smooth, that would have saved time on sanding the whole thing.
Decided to print it with my silver metal PLA filament and paint it with spray paint the color is RAL 6031 that is the same color code as the PETG that I used (even tho the color looks a bit weird on this picture).
I bought this cheap military west from china for around $28, which I use as base and to get it a bit more comfy.
I was always a little scared of EVA foam, because it is no material I wanted to work with (I had no experience with it), but I quickly released that I can not print all the parts and I need something to glue everything on (the west just wasn't enough).
Argent inspired my in his thread that EVA foam can look cool and just as detailed as 3D prints. As I never worked with EVA foam I bought a template which is somehow okay, but not good. It has a lot difficult cuts and weird design decisions. I really hate to work with EVA foam it is a mess (especially if you want to smooth the parts with a Dremel), but I am slowly getting used to it.
Here is the upper body which I got so far:
It is slowly looking like something. I had most of the parts just randomly lying around for months it feels good to finally see some progress, but I guess it is still a long way to go.
Will update this thread when I ever I got the time.
BTW for all which are currently also making a praetor suit. I found this picture which is very good and detailed for reference:
You wanna do the same cosplay?
Most of the 3D files I used are free. Check out my collections on cults3D and thingiverse:Original Thread Start
So I bought the collectors edition of DOOM Eternal a while ago, where you get this really cool looking helmet which you can actually wear:(Not my picture, source: twitter)
