Halo Reach Build - Jorge 052

[Ulfhedinn073]

After meeting members of the 405th at Megacon 2025 I have high motivation to create this armor out of EVA Foam. This year I was in Full 3d printed Mark VI

Goals

• Easy Suit Up - I know most Spartans need some assistance with suiting up. I want to be able to get most of the armor on by myself, then accessories can be added by spotters.
• Reduce Weight - Even though the armor will be out of Foam reinforcing it will add a lot of weight to it.
• Functionality - A big pro to ODST suits is the functionality (Useable Backpacks, Pouches to hold water or Snacks, and sitting down), why can't a spartan have the same thing? I want to make the front canister able to hold a large water bottle and detach from the chest piece so there is always water on hand. Functional backpack, Store some useful tools or items acquired in suit
• Sitting - I've seen a few Spartans do it. In my 3d printed one the main issue was the Cod piece. With a strong material for the armor and elastic bands for the belt I should in theory be able to sit down.
• Cooling, A whole lot of it - Everyone does the helmet, if not you are just asking to be uncomfortable. I've heard of people adding cooling to the armor itself. Being in Florida the days get extremely hot so if possible I want to at least add vents and fans to help cool my body.

Dude! So glad you're starting this, it's gonna be Awesome! Can't wait to work on my upgrades together while you do this one!

I plan on 3d printing it. I'll try that out. I know the basics in Blender so I'll give it a shot.

Let me know if you need help with this too! My and my colleagues use this for a living.

Small update. Found most of the pdo files for Jorge. Got it all sized and used a CNC machine this weekend to cut the pieces

How did this go for you? My next suit, I plan to do just this - I'm building the CNC now, and as soon as I'm done I want to start - would love to hear what worked and what didn't.

Good luck man, can't wait to see it!
