My Emile-A239 build

[Noble5coplayIRE]

Hey guys!

So I'm starting this thread so I can show the progress in my Emile build and start to regularly post on the 405th channel!

So I've started printing a full spartan suit. I've printed the helmet on a bambu P1 printer using standard PLA. The helmet was printed in 4 sections and the visor will be looked after when painting is ready.

Started printing the chest and plucking out the supports.

Standard supports was fun plucking away. Best part of splitting the armour I can figure out the best way to pack the suits into containers

Soooo banging out the posts I know at the moment.

But this is a progression post on how the chest is looking at the moment. I've a few more pieces to print but we are doing well with Bambu labs!

Love seeing the bambu's proving they are superior, saves alot of time on sanding, it looks good so far, i love the visor.

Love how smooth bambu makes that look

Helpful tip: When you go to do supports, if its hard to pull them out at all or they are sticking to much, try lowering the infill in the support section to only 2-5%. It makes getting supports off armor soooo much easier!

The build is looking great so far! The P1P is an absolute workhorse I don't know where I would be without mine! Out of curiosity where did you get your visor and files from?

Welcome to the group. Your Emile helmet looks like it turned out great. How is the visibility through the visor?

I'd love to know how you did that visor too! Looks really cool

The visor is pretty clear, but it's not finished yet, I've still to chrome the inside of it but that's later on. I'm still printing the full suit atm making sure everything fits first

Galactic Armoury have visors as well if you're thinking of making the helmet as well!

I got the visor from Galatic Armory. Same as the helmet files actually. And the full suit I got it on thingiverse. I think the creator is a 405th member as well, if he sees this, you are the GOAT!

I didn't know this!! Thank you, the supports have been a nightmare. Like the P1P is doing great but some of the supports(mainly standard supports are a pain) the tree supports when they actually want to work with the print come off pretty easy. I did change the filament to impact PLA from fiberology and taking them off the bed has been pretty smooth.. hopefully I haven't jinxed it

I typically just need one sanding session on the prints and I can move on to priming.. I truly do love bambu for this printer

Nice, definitely a good plan before going into the finishing stage. Did you work out an undersuit?

I haven't done an undersuit before in fairness, but I did a small ab section on another cosplay that I'm gonna do for emile. I know its hard to see in this pic but I used a foam mid section I done on my wrecker cosplay from the Bad Batch and sowed leather onto it. It turned out pretty smooth and slick looking so I'm gonna do something similar for the midsection and the spin for emile.. hopefully

So we have gotten to the chest nearly ready to fusing.. little bit worried about the sides not fitting but looking over emiles pics he's covered in buckles and straps so hiding gaps won't be too hard

 

[Noble5coplayIRE]

Just fused the main parts of the body to see the size.

It's snug fitting but it's fine width wise. Currently looking at options to make it smaller but we'll see how we get on.

Arms are next for the printer. Anyone have any recommendations on how to make the biceps somewhat comfortable?

Lots of soft foam on the inside. Works wonders

So sanding done and first coat on the helmet, very happy with the finish and can't wait to get cracking on it!
