Will do! Thanks for the link! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome. I might print one in each size just to be sure to test for small fans. Best part of 3D print is that it’s not permanent. Lol. I appreciate your feedback! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How much wiggle room do you have in the helmet for padding and fans ect? I wear glasses too but I have some old lenses that I plan to tape to the inside. Maybe up the size to 105%? Or was there enough room in yours for those things? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys. I have a size 7 3/4 hat size and was wondering if the standard Sean Fields Shore Trooper helmet will work, or if I would need to resize it. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought the Creality Ender 3 Pro. Supposedly the best 3D printer under $300. I’ll upgrade to a larger one in a couple years but for $250 it’s a great entry model. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I just bought my printer and can’t wait to start on my Trooper! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

4. Sean Fields is probably the most popular. Joel Carter and Nico Henderson are also popular makers of 3D files. Where can I find the files these guys made? Are they listed on a website? Etsy or Facebook? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve watched several videos where people use fiberglass resin to help smooth out the ridges and even out the surface. Is this what you’re taking about? Or something else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys. I have some questions that i hope you can help me with. I know most people buy the Vacu-Formed plastic armor parts then trim, paint and assemble for their set. I also know that some people use 3D printers to make the armor parts and assemble from there. My questions are as followed. 1. With out bringing up cost, can 3D printed parts make a quality set equal to traditional molded plastic for approval? 2. I’m 6’3 and built like a dump truck so 3D printed parts that are scaled to my size appeal to me, are there larger molded plastic kits aside from “standard”? 3. Who are some reputable vendors for molded kits? 4. Who are reputable vendors for 3D files to download or buy from? 5. Are molded kits more durable than 3D? Or Vice versa? 6. Once sanded and painted properly, does a 3D printed plastic look good? I’ve seen some that look more like painted “foam” vs a painted plastic. Thank you for any feedback. I intend to buy a 3D printer either way for small parts and weapons but I see the appeal for just printing my entire set. Thanks. Mike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
