Grenadier Spartan III

[JTF4]

See I felt bad taking the red and orange rolls since they look nice and I know they're going to be painted and covered up. That's why I usually go for black or gray. But free materials is free materials.

Exactly. Also, for some reason black is more expensive than the neon colors.

 

[spitzkitz]

Lmao, the red and orange PLA+ rolls really happened to be left over rolls, from a 3d printing club im part of, that no one else was using. You can ask spitzkitz he was there!

You can't fool me, you intentionally coordinated the leftover rolls to be bonkle colors. I knew it!

Both shins are now fully printed and welded together with a 3d pen.

SQUAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JTF4]

Wait.... No color coordination on the other one?

On a more serious note what 3D pen are you using? Ive only done super glue and bondo to put mine together.

So the pen is the MYNT3D PRO. There are still parts on the outside that need to be filled so I still plan on using bondo there or maybe high temp hot glue. This project has been my first time using a 3D pen and it's mainly because I happened to have one available through my 3D printing club.

Welded the front of the chest together

I also got quite a few photos testing out what I have of the armor so far

 

[tahu505]

This thigh be thick so far! I've split it up so I can use up some of my rolls with less filament left while reducing supports needed for overhangs. I've got the 3rd and last piece for the right thigh printing in the back and that should be done in 35 hrs.

 

[tahu505]

Right thigh photo dump!

 

[tahu505]

Ok so now I've got all of the parts for the left thigh printed out and I've got the first grenadier knee printed! I've already started printing the 2nd knee and I've been getting some sanding in on the other parts while things are printing

 

[tahu505]

Got the belt printed out! This was the last part of the base armor I needed to print! The boots I'm thinking of doing out of foam later down the line, but who know, maybe I'll come back to printing. Now I just need the helmet, collar, shoulders, and knife (which I almost forgot about but I've been seeing other people work on the Reach knife so I should probably get on that before I forget again).

Also here's an update on my armorsmith model so it's easier to visualize what's left (orange is printed)

 

[tahu505]

I've sanded most of my armor pieces directly with 150 grit, now I'm starting to get that first thick layer of primer filler.

 

[JTF4]

Looking great!

 

[tahu505]

Got the knife printed, sanded with 150 grit, and glued together! Thank you indigoD0g again for helping me find the knife files! I haven't printed out the sheath yet because I'm still trying to decide where I want to put the knife. I know for the collar/breacher it goes on the non dominant hand side of the collar but I'm worried if I did that the sheath would collide too much with the commando shoulder on the right. I'm open to any suggestions if anybody has ideas!

The knife belongs in the Covenant.

The knife belongs in the Covenant.

Basically what I told my parents when they saw I 3d printed a prop knife

 

[tahu505]

Did a quick suit up test of the parts I primer/fillered so far. I've also been considering putting the knife sheath on the left side of the belt.

Looks amazing! That’s such a solid print. I’m happy it worked out for you.

Could I get a hold of this knife file too? I’ve been trying to find one…
