Hi there,
I’m Voritera, and it’s time for me to start putting my progress on here. I’ve been working on a suit of Infinite’s multiplayer Mirage IIC armor since mid-November, with a Mk VII helmet.
I’m 3D printing the armor, and at this stage I have most armor components printed and sized to a quality that I’m happy with. Progress has been slow, but I feel like I’m well on track to have everything ready by ECCC 2025.
Using the armor files from TitlewaveDesigns on Etsy, and the helmet files from Galactic Armory. I went with Galactic Armory for the helmet as the files came pre-cut, and I added a Bambu P1P to my printers partway through this process.
The project is large in scope, and has pushed me to learn new skills and programs almost constantly. The plan is to have the full armor suit, helmet, and kit.
For the helmet, I’ve taken lots of inspiration from tutorials here, on YouTube, and from the 501st. I plan to have it wired with fans, a hearing system, and a speaker system. As a person who’s never played with circuits before, the process is going to be interesting.
For other kit, we’ll see. I plan to print a couple of weapons, a Commando rifle and sidekick. I’m torn on other gear, and have one interesting idea that I haven’t seen done before (not to say it hasn’t). More on that in the future.
For the actual build, I started with an Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo, with a 220x220x250 print area. Not ideal for printing things that need to fit on a person. To work with the print volume, I started at the hands and worked my way up from there. Knowing that I would be adding a larger printer soon.
These parts were all printed on the Kobra.
After these parts were printed, the hotend died on the Kobra, and I added the P1P. The P1P took over most of the print work for the armor.
The first big print job I had for the P1P was the helmet.
Aside from some issues with the parts fitting together, the helmet was painless to print. When I pieced the helmet together, I was using superglue. I have since switched to Weld-On 16 for other parts that have to be joined.
Most of the armor parts are printed now, and a few of the cut parts have been bonded. I’ll get more pictures of my progress up soon.
For now, thanks for reading.
