I've started 3d printing and purchasing the other materials for my odst build.
I'm just making a thread to show myself, a true and utter idiot attempting to make such a suit.

You're already pretty deep into printing I see!
The first suit is always daunting to start, it's really just a learning experience. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and figure out what works for you. One tip I have though would be to not break the standard order of: Print, wood filler (or filler of choice), sand and THEN coat (epoxy or other options). I tried mixing up the order myself and it went pear shaped fast
I'll be very interested in seeing how your build progresses,
Best of luck!
Ok how should I connect the backpack to the front chest rig? I know there are straps and buckles but the 3d files I have
have "foam strap stand in" meaning like eva foam?
Should I try eva foam or print out those parts?
Or do I just use straps and buckles :/

Looks great so far man! What color scheme you going for? Also how about the undersuit? To answer your question about gloves, I just use Mechanix Mpact gloves and E6k the armor onto them, but to each their own.

Undersuit wise I'm probably just going to go with a basic combat suit.
I'm going for a purple/black color scheme with some white and grey for smaller details, also I shall check out those gloves
Well I've chosen Montana Cans Gold Aqua as my base coat
I ruined it slightly by putting masking tape on before it was dry so I gotta sponge sand it and then repaint it
So for my other colors I've selected Montana cans Gold Lavender and Montana cans Gold Shock black
I chose these colors for 2 reasons, 1 because they were the same brand and I do not want to risk mixing paints and the 2nd reason is that the colors are absolutely beautiful
I'll attach an image of some paint photos tomorrow probably
Man great job I want to make some ODST armor too as my first set but for the under suit just get any skin suit on Amazon and if it has the hood then that can be the neck seal
