my 3d printing of halo infinite armor

[marinesniper]

ok guys my wife bought me a 3d printer, i have been printing and learning to print. i will give you guys who do 3d printing props man it seem simple but man it can give you a heck of a head ache. but i think i have the printer figured out the clear and tpu stuff im still trying to figure out. but i have printed my infinite helmet out and some other armor parts. i still have sanding to do but i figured i would share what i have done so far the files i got from do3d.com I figure what the heck this is the only way to learn and i know these files are not 100% accurate but it will work till later when i can get hold of 100 % accurate files but i think they were worth the money.

Looking great so far! Accuracy can be overrated, as long as you are having fun with it, that is all the really matters! Good luck and looking forward to future updates!

What printer do you have? I found that I could push the boundaries of my printer and save some plastic by reducing my support overhang to 75 degrees

Were the gloves part of the Do3D file as well? Hard to tell, but they look like it was mold and cast.

no the glove are some i found at lowes if you want i can look on the tag to see what the brand is but i though they looked close to the chief. and some of the file i got from them i eneded up fixing because they were the wrong glove cover.

PS if you want to smooth these out with out doing a lot of sanding you can coat them with resin two thin coats and then paint them.

Idk if your printer is big enough to print it in one pice hut maybe try using flexible filament?
