So im off and running on printing the parts for the sith trooper. Im not investing in the soft parts until i get everything printed up and the armor is fitting. Im using the files that are in the first post. I bought them durning the Black Friday sale for $30, at that price I couldn’t pass it up and jumped all over it.
Scaling has been challenging, i a bigger guy and I'm bought the armorsmith program to help figure it all out.
I figure that i should start the arms first since that should be relatively easy to do. I have two printers, a Ender 3 Pro and a CR-10S. I was able to do all the arm parts in one pass, didn't have to cut anything up.
I moved on the the AB’s and chest area. At first i was going to the chest but thought i should do the abs then fit the chest over the AB section . I had to cut the AB section into 4 parts for the CR-10 and since the back section isnt all that big i cut that up and put that on the ender 3.
The helmet i found a file on thingiverse and it was a super easy print. Not sure if its a appovable helmet but figured why not!
so im moving along hopefully i get everything printed and fitting sometime in January. Ill update the progression here.
What the opinion on what red to use? I seen Montana gold fire red, ace banner red and a few others. Im a long way off from painting the armor but the helmet can be done soon.
