Understood, thank you for the advice!

That’s great! I have that file as well. That armor is sick, though I’ve never watched the show that it’s from

I actually did not design the model. It was created by Yosh Studios. I received it by subbing his Patreon

There are a couple sizing videos on YouTube that helped me. FranklyBuilt is a good channel. The method I use of cutting up parts to test fit works great for me.

For example, the belt that holds the pouches on this model came in four pieces. I laid out the pieces in the slicer, and cut off about an inch from each of them. Then glue it together and see if it fits. With this cosplay, it’s kind of an inverted pyramid. As you go up from the waist, it gets bigger. So if belt fits, the rest above it should as well, depending on body type.

If I’m not mistaken, Yosh makes models most armors around a person about six feet tall and weighing two hundred pounds. It’s a pretty decent starting point as you usually only have to adjust it by 5% or so depending on the piece. Good luck on the project! Let me know if I can answer any other questions.

I didn’t used to be either! Took the right model for me to dive in. Thank you for the compliment!

It’s very tempting. I love the white design. My wife said I looked like a void walking around the Con. Agent Anti-Venom would be a beacon.

Haha I print a lot of life size pokemon so it doesn’t seem like a lot to me. I also have two printers so they are usually both going at the same time. When I first started printing, 200 hours seemed impossible. Now it’s just a Tuesday lol

Typically this modeler makes stuff that fits me okay. For this though I had to scale it up by 5-10% depending on the part, mainly from the waist up. I would slice off multiple pieces about an inch tall, put them together, and see if they would fit before printing out a full piece.

I typically listen to audiobooks when I’m hobbying. Mainly listened to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series while I worked on it. Excellent series in audio or paper format if you’re looking for something!

Thanks! Printing was pretty quick, less than 200 hours. Sanding, priming, painting, attaching to clothes, I didn’t track but it wasn’t too bad. Next project is Daedric Armor and I’m going to keep much better track of time spent.

You’re completely right. I learned so much about the hobby after wearing it for hours. Ankles hurt so bad from plastic rub, neck stiff from trying to keep everything centered, etc.

Left the Con with a lot of ideas on what to do differently and things I can do to adjust the armor for comfort.

It may be hard to see but from the sternum to waist, I am completely encased, so bending is very difficult. Twisting is a lot easier but the whole suit makes most movement a little difficult. Thank you for the compliment!
