MrPoopie Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The armor has been designed to Lancer specifications. I pulled measurements from various approved armors but really tried to stay as close to the Strider armor as possible. I have several Scots in my area that let me take measurements as I needed them. Lancer requirements are less about armor and more about how things are put together. There are many armor makers that have "less than great" specs and measurements but can be made to Lancer specifications. That being said, I've done my best to make things as close to screen accurate as possible. There are several Scouts on the Pathfinder forum who currently have build threads going with my 3D printable models. My Armor will be heavier but nothing that I would say is heavy. Fiberglass armor would be much heavier than this and there are many folks with Fiberglass armor and helmets. I suggest that you glue the back and tank together even with the addition of the elastic strap. As stated above the elastic only needs the appearance of holding the tan on, it does not need to be functional. You will not need to make an "L" bracket with the 3D prints. I made the model with a "Box" that sticks out slightly from the back which is the same size as the inside of the tank so that it fits perfectly. If you find any issues with these models please just shoot me a message and I'll work with you to figure out any modifications that need to be made. I've been working with several other Scout with just this already. I've even scaled down this armor to 85% for my fiancee since she's much too small for the original size. I didn't want to cut armor and have things misshapen so scaling was the best option. As stated above snout greebles can very in size just slightly depending on your helmet. You will need to take some measurements of your helmet and scale models accordingly. Please understand that 3D armor is a fairly new area and we're all trying to figure out the best methods to get the best results for 501st approval and wear-ability on a day to day basis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasidas76 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Guys, I can't thank you enough for your responses and advice. So far it is all good news. I can't wait to get printing! 762s- The measurements alone are just fine. Once again, thank you both 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just started 3D printing a helmet and have recently downloaded the armour files posted on Thingiverse by Mr.Poopie. He appears to be a genuine Lancer as I've seen him on this site, but I was wondering if any of you know for sure that his printable files are indeed Lancer quality? I'd like to know before I go through the many hours of printing and finishing them. I was also wondering about the backpack hump. In the thread above there's some discussion about it being a separate piece and whether or not it should have the black strap. If I do 3D print my armour, it's going to be a little heavier than vacu-formed pieces, so it may be necessary to glue it to the back-plate. If I do that but leave a visable seam, and fake the strap, would it still be considered Lancer quality? Ok, last question lol What would be considered the perfect sizing for the snout greeblies on the helmet? Thanks in advance everyone. I have finished printed all of Mr. Poopies armor and blaster files. I also printed my Helmet from some files I purchased on CGtrader. The 3D printed armor prints great and isn't heavy. Its all pretty thin parts so not a lot of bulk. I have started finishing mine with filler and sanding. Good stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeymark34 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 This will be a great resource for me as I want to build to Lancer. Is the strapping material that is listed at the beginning of the post still accurate for Lancer requirements? I know the CRL has recently changed.

Is the strapping material that is listed at the beginning of the post still accurate for Lancer requirements? I know the CRL has recently changed. After a Quick look the only thing I ser that has changed is that the bicep armor now uses 50 mm straps, not 35 mm. Always refer to the CRL for the measurments.

billymod Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I followed quite a bit of your tutorial so my kit will be built hopefully close to Lancer requirements for future Lancer deployment. Thanks for such a great tutorial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarro Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I built my kit as close to Lancer spec as possible when I first built it. Next year I plan on working on things even more and hopefully be able to submit for Lancer!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
