Pieces look great so far! Can’t wait to see the whole thing completed.

 

[Armored Spectre]

Bottom half of the thigh is done, waiting for top to be finished printing

 

[Armored Spectre]

All that's left to do for this thigh is to solder it together. Moving on to print the codpiece next

 

[Armored Spectre]

Update: im just about done filling in the gaps of the thigh and soldering it together. just started to print part of the right shin. waiting to size the rest of the armor until i got all the motocross gear

 

[Armored Spectre]

So im gonna have to reprint the front part of the boot. Even with dremeling out the bottom a ton i can't fit my boot in there. Currently the bottom of the right shin is done printing so I started printing the top of it

 

[Armored Spectre]

Well, all that's left for the left shin is to wet sand it and then its good for paint. Gonna work out strapping before I paint though. I got a bad spool so that threw a wrench in my plans for the right shin. But all things considered this is going rather well if you don't look at the sizing problems with the boots im having xD.

 

[Armored Spectre]

smoothed out the left thigh and now i just need to re-print the front part of the left boot because im stupid and didnt size it tall enough lol. once it is all taken care of i can print the right side smoothly. still need to order the motocross chest protection to size the upper portion of the armor. i was planning on getting This one but if any of yall know of another that would work better i would like to know

That seems to be a hefty sum to spend on only a section of the undersuit - what's your need for something like this?

As all my friends and family say, my body type is noodle. So it is to give a little more bulk to the torso, padding between me and the armor, and it looks good too.

filler primer will be your best friends.. the prints looks pretty good compared to others ive seen

 

[Armored Spectre]

Just need to wet sand the shin and sand the bondo on the thigh so I can do the last coat of filler primer. The hand plates are just waiting to be painted

Ooooh yeah. That and bondo have been my best friends

Right now I have the left shin, shin insert, top of boot, and both hand plates printed. still need to sand them down and use some filler primer on them but I am waiting for my test prints for the rest of the boot to make sure it all looks alright. After that I'm going to start sizing/printing the thigh

Hand plates are just the perfect shape! Instantly recognized ‘em.

 

[Armored Spectre]

Sorry I've been radio silent. Been busy with school xD. I've got most of the right shin printed, and I've completely smoothed put the left shin, thigh, and both hand plates to how I want them. Just need to get filament to finish off the right shin and the left boot

 

[Armored Spectre]

Time to sand the shin insert, heel, and boot top with my mouse sander

 

[Armored Spectre]

so i just started to print the rest of the right shin. i will be gone for two months cuz im staffing at a summer camp so there wont be any progress being made for a while, but i ordered a ton of printer food so i should be able to pump out a lot when i get back

If I may ask, what settings did you use for the strength of your 3d print? Like Wall loops, Top & bottom shell layers and infill %? I am just curious because I am about to start my own Master Chief Infinite armor but I want to make sure I print it strong enough for sanding and wearing. I'll be using Sunlu PLA+ Black for my filament.

 

[Armored Spectre]

Im not sure of specifics off the top of my head but I know the armor is at 10% infill with 4 walls and uses the cubic pattern.

 

[Draxes]

Many thanks for that info. I did some tests and I decided upon 5 walls at 10% gyroid infill. Seems tough enough when I smack it with a hammer.

I see we are using the same files from Galactic Armory. Maybe we can share our file settings. I am trying to plan out the entire suit as I print it. I made some modifications to the biceps and to the shoulder pads because I couldn't figure out how, after printing them, they would stay up. So I edited them to have built-in loops to use velcro straps to attach the biceps to the shoulders, and the shoulders to the chestplate. Let me know if your interested.

Love what you did with your boots. I was worried about slipping or damaging the boots as I would weigh almost 280lbs with all the armor on. I think I am going to print the boot part out in TPU. I cut out the soles and also made straps loops to attach the boots to the armor.
