DarthDadio Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I've been working on my Shoretrooper for a bit now and it is really starting to come together. I have all of the major pieces printed off and almost fully assembled. Once assembled, I fill the gaps, spray on a gray primer/filler coat or two, and then finish off with a layer of black primer. On the larger assembled pieces I'm coating the inside with plasti-dip to hold everything together. Next step should be to mask off the black areas and apply the final layer of paint (aside from wear and tear detailing). Comments are welcome. To me the best part is the build process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDadio Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Just in case it matters, I have 3 3D printers: a Wanhao Duplicator 6, and two Creality CR-10s. Really helps being able to crank out more than one piece at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDadio Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 As of this morning I have a lot of pieces waiting to be sanded after a coat of primer/filler. This picture shows the plasti-dip coating on the inside of the kidney plate. Can't wait to start the final coloring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xEntex4 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Hey, that's looking awesome already! What kind of glue and filament did you use? Just looking for information for my ST build. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOtrooper Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 If the spools in the pics is what he's currently printing his armor with - it is PLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fettsrevenge Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 You may find the upper "extension" of the ab armor is unnecessary unless you are tall. I had to remove mine as it was interfering with the chest armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
