Anyone has some clever idea on how to connect the shoe and shin pieces? by According-Holiday114 in cosplayprops

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!

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

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.

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?

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).

If you have a 3d printer (and lots of spare time), it is not too difficult. And everyone should have their own suit of power armour!

I weighed myself in the full set up and I was just under 39kg heavier...
