1st Build New Recruit’s first outfit (Mark V [b])

[CLSilent]

Hey all! I’m Joey. I’ve been working on my first outfit for a few months now and finally decided it was time to share! I'm going for an Infinite-based Mark V (b) suit with all the fixins. I got the ripped game models from a google drive here.

I got the 3D print files from InstinctCreative3D over on Etsy and NerdforgeDesigns on CGtrader. So far I've printed all the exterior armor out and made it mostly wearable (but barely). I still have a lot of fasteners and a harness system to work out. Right now its mostly held together with velcro, pressure, and a dream.

In the near future I will be adding an LED system to the chest and legs. After that I'll be casting an undersuit from urethane rubber. Its a daunting to-do list but I'm up for the challenge!

Awesome work! I like the color scheme. Would you be able to share how you are attaching the shoulder plates to the bicep pieces? I am trying to figure out the best way, or if it would make sense to just print them together as one piece?

This has been a real difficult part of the suit for me. I printed them separately, with my shoulder pieces attached to my bicep pieces via velcro. Its not very sturdy so I will need to figure out an alternative. If I were to start my suit all over again, one of the things I would do differently is to either print the shoulder and bicep as one piece or design them to physically interlock, securing them with machine screws. The only up side to printing them separately is that I can switch out the shoulders with new ones whenever I want.
