Newbie first build (3D printing hinself)

Recommended Posts

Hey y'all!  (located in DFW- Tx)

this is my first post and first attempt of costuming of any kind.  Started w 3d printing as a hobby, then why not print a helmet for fun, to why not make a whole suit.... I'm sure you all know the black hole hole that follows.  

my concerns are that I get the build done and then something isn't right and I have to start over... the good news is I can just reprint it at home. I am using PLA, not ABS.  So we will see how that goes.  But I'd love to get peoples input as I progress to catch any mistakes.  The hardware is all printed using files from thingiverse and mr Poopie's files.  I have printed the helmet, chest and belt, most of the arm pieces and still have some smaller pieces to print. This is a photo of the initial work.  Filler sprayed on and will get updated pics soon.  

 

if anyone sees a glaring mistake please let me know before I put in many hours of sanding and prep work... 

 

the soft goods have all been ordered (at a surprisingly expensive cost) but seems to be legit quality w custom measurement and official dew back leather...

 

Ps- (won't let me upload photos)

We have a strict photo upload limit per user because we just don't have the server space to store tons of photos.  It would get cost-prohibitive pretty quick.

We recommend you use a photo hosting service (Photobucket, Imgur, etc) to host your photos and then post hotlinks on the forum.

I use Tapatalk to post my pictures.

I use the Tapatalk app for posting 95% of the time here, which I got on BikerScout007’s recommendation a while back, and it’s great. There is a limit to the number of photos you can upload using the free account each month, but the free account should suffice. If you are going to have picture intensive posts then for a $1 per month you can upgrade and get unlimited photo uploads if you find that you’re burning through your limit with the free account.

 

Take the pic with your phone, and upload it right into your post. Easy peasy and you don’t have to worry about broken links, etc.

 

Looking forward to seeing those pics soon.

Looks good! You've been very busy! I use Dropbox for posting all my pictures on this forum. It's a free software that allows you to store pictures, documents and such.
