Hello! It’s been awhile, I’ve been posting updates on the discord a bit but haven’t found the time to post here.
The big update is that I’ve got the suit like 80% done! Enough to do a suit up for trick or treaters on Halloween.
A few parts still needed to be finished at this stage (boots, knee guards, dyeing of the visor) but it was enough for a suit up and pictures.
I bought a Halloween LED light strip at the grocery store and fed it into the holes on the torso, it’s not the most sophisticated system but it works.
Since then I’ve made some additional progress. The visor was dyed a yellow/orange using iDye Poly
Two weeks ago I started printing undersuit parts using flexible PLA. So far I’ve gotten the arms and neckseal printed. Mobility is passable, not great but I get a full bend at the arm and can move my neck and head fine. I think with some more tweaking it’d be even more usable then I’ve gotten it so far.
And final update for the time being, my visor is now chromed! Visibility is suprissingly decent. Thanks N8TEBB for the tutorial!
One day soon I’ll have to do a full suit up with the updates, but this will have to do for now.
Project is going on the back burner for a little as I’ve got an even more important one to tend to for now, since my wife and I welcomed our daughter late last month : )
