3D Printed Biker WIP

[Selle]

Greetings from the forest in Sweden. 

Since i'm having a break from the Shoretrooper i decided to use my printers for another project, and decided on making the Biker Scout. I don't have anything 501st approved yet, but it will be this or the Shoretrooper.  I will most likely pick your brains about the soft parts.

I was planning on making the armor in fusion 360 as a learning process, but then i found MrPoopie's armor (link here) So i'm going to print MrPoopie's armor instead, the helmet file is from Al3dPropShop (link here).

The Printer Setup is:

Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus - Will be used for the smaller parts.

Creality CR-10s - Will be used to print as big as i can.

I will be using PrimaValue PLA Filament, and coat the inside with XTC-3D for more durability.

Following with interest for probably obvious reasons!

I'm checking your build as well, it goes out fast, will be done tomorrow with back and forearms.

I like this friendly competition between you both. The more Scouts the better.

I didn't realize this was a competition but now it's on...

What its a competition?, i think MrPoopie is stirring things up. 😃

I have a few builds at the same time, so it will take some time. Printing will be done this week, but then it's the fun part with sanding. I have recently started to just go straight for wet sanding the PLA after a print with 400 grit, and you can get it really smooth directly.

Interesting... I'll have to give it a try on some of my parts!

My build is going to take a while too. The filament I'm using isn't cheap and I don't have much time aside from weekends to work on things... Plus between all the soft parts I've ordered I'll be waiting a few months to have the whole thing together anyways

I know the feeling about time, and i have just started to look around for the soft parts. 

I'm wet sanding half the face on the helmet, will take some pictures this weekend when i apply some filler primer. So i can see if its worth the time  to wet sand with fine grit instead of just sanding with lower grit before filler primer.

Looking forward to it, I'll be posting pictures of my helmet progress tonight as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing what our two helmets turn out like. Two different file designers, two different printers, two different finishing methods...

LET'S GET READY TO PRINT STUFF!

(Hehehe... )

(I am following both builds, and can't wait to see how each turns out, seeing as 3D printed armor is relatively new in armor. Good luck!)

Updated greeblie for the bicep.

Manning your printer seems like a full time job right now. It's coming along nicely and quickly.

I have 2 printers, and i print from i get home from work and over night. And 24/7 on weekends. The files are easy to print as well, you have done a great job.

[emile1138]

Nice job @Selle! You're moving along a lot faster than I am, I only have one printer running for the large parts and I'm printing at a smaller layer height than you are on them.

The bigger parts are printing at 0,22 layer height, i have started with the chest today on one printer and the other is making the thermal detonator. Both printers can make the bigger parts but the cr-10s gives it a little more quality it feels like. Need to go shopping tomorrow for some filler primer and bondo, and have a weekend of some sanding 😃

WOW you're trucking right along! Great progress Selle!

Are your thermal detonator caps concave? Won't affect basic though, just lancer.

Yes they are, you can take a look here on the files.

A little update since im going away for a few days, i have been sanding away on shoulder, biceps and forearm

A little service on my Wanhao Duplicator I3 Plus, nozzle change and PTFE-tub.

Filler Primer sprayed on, 2 coats and some sanding between.

Some body filler and more sanding.

New coat of filler primer. and sanding some more. i want the parts to shine like a mirror before i'm done with the filling and sanding.

A overview picture of my hobby room.

Chest and back is printed, next week i will start with the assembly of the chest when i'm back from vacation.
