Fenrirkyramud Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Greetings, I signed up on the Pathfinder forums some time ago, but had not started building my kit. Well, now I have. In fact, I am working on printing (yes, I have 2 3D printers going) my armor, finally. I've started with the smaller pieces; knees, forearms, biceps, blaster and greebles. Soon, I'll start on the larger bits. I'm printing in PETG, with a 50% infill and layers clocked at 25* to the next, so instead of a straight "honeycomb", it's twisted, making for a heavier print. Every piece will get a good sanding and then at least 2 coats of XTC-3D. Before wet sanding and finishing. But, still a long way to go and I'll post the journey here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenrirkyramud Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 Pieces printed so far. 2 Knees, 2 Bicep, 2 Forearm, 1 Blaster. All of the armor pieces have had an initial sanding and 2 coats of XTC-3D. The blaster just needs to be weathered and clear coated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawless Scout Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Might want to check dimensions of those pouches. Look a little big. And yeah the I go with a separate bund and cod which allows a little more leeway for fit. Looking forward to seeing the new bund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliaz Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Looks good. I would trim the shoulder bridges of your back armor abit. They are pushing your back armor up and out from your body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooseman77 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I believe it's within these dimensionsSent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Armor is looking good. I wanna throw in some some info on the bund. The current bund is way to long. I'm 6'5" in my bund length is only around 9.5". Nothing that can't be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooseman77 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Spotted my other replacement cumberband had six ribs. Must have been s old CRL spec from chef. So altered my original cumberband to fit better . And the sagging in my holster boot, is now sorted.
