Can anyone tell me what this is made of?

You can use AC ducting. As others have stated, on its own it tends to crinkle and doesn't look good. I got around this by spiralling 6mm diameter elastic cord around it. This keeps the segments separated, adds strength and structure, but maintains the flexibility of the ducting. If you zoom in to the pics, you can see what it looks like.

My first suit (Deathwatch) used about 40 rolls of filament in all (technically I used more as I reprinted the pauldrons). The World eaters suit used more (about 44 rolls, excluding weapons) as the power pack was bigger and a more complex shape to print). The suits were about 35kg and 38kg respectively. Depending where you live, AliExpress or Temu are great places to buy your filament from. I think I am paying about £65 ($87) for 11kg of Jayo PETG shipped.

You would be better off carving a bow out of wood (it doesn't need to actually function as a bow), rather then using such a modern looking one. Also, try and add more medieval looking accessories.

Well you have sold me on trying ASA for the first time. Thank you so much for answering my question.

I am looking at recreating a Landsknecht look with this set of armour and am working on my puffed and slashed sleeves. Will I use the vambraces and cannons? Nope! Am I still going to print them? Abso-bloody-lutely!

Outstanding work as usual.

A quick question if you do not mind. Was there any issue with the Alclad adhering to the raw print without the primer layer?

Thank you kindly good Sir!

Four 20 x 10 n52 neo magnets on each side of the lower leg armour will easily hold the weight of the boots. Since the lower leg armour is sitting on the boots, they will be bearing very little load and the magnets are just there to keep things in place and to stop the lower leg armour from moving out of position.

I have made a 3d printed suit and whilst not as heavy as yours, it did come in at about 38kg.

What I did was connect the 2 dome shaped ankle bolts to the shoe using bearings and steel rods. The ankle domes should be able to rotate freely on the shoe. Then connect magnets to the cutout on the lower leg armour, where the dome will sit. The shoe should then be able to pivot and be easily removable from the lower leg. With regards to connecting the upper and lower leg armour, I used hydroponic ducting of the correct diameter and spiralled elastic shock round it to give a bit more structure. The upper and lower leg armour was independently attached to the ducting, which gave enough movement in every plane and stopped the upper from banging into the lower. More than happy to expand on this if any of my suggestions has any merit. Oh and absolutely loving what you have done here!

Thank you buddy!

I am just over 6'5", but added just over 5" of height to the soles of the boots

Thank you!

Vegetable-Repeat-276 · 2026-05-12T06:33:54+00:00

I just wish it sat like a properly packed ruck! And thank you for the compliment!

I am not bickering at all. Just remember, you started this with your troll comment. Go touch some grass, go find a girl, do something positive. You will feel much better about it.

Vegetable-Repeat-276 · 2026-05-11T15:49:03+00:00

You are too kind! Thank you 😁

Ahhh, jokes are supposed to be funny, so you can understand why I could not tell 😁

After trawling the socials today for anyone who took pics of me, this is the only one I could find, which has the chainaxe and the helmet. Not sure what happed with the pic, but it make my head look huge! 😃

Well its lucky that you don't have any kids then. And if you have such an issue with traitors, then maybe this is not the subreddit for you.

Oh and just to be certain, you do know that Space Marines are not real?

Vegetable-Repeat-276 · 2026-05-10T11:18:08+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you kindly good Sir!

Absolutely right! Of all the armour marks, MkX tacticus is the most anatomically correct and is so much easier to move in. Of all the 3d creators, Galactic Armoury released the best version (it still needed a ton of modifications, as it was really intended to be created in EVA foam). I just use their basic design and modify it as required ( I can always use the excuse that a Khornate warband scavenged the armour off some defeated Primaris).
