BikerScout007 Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 I was torn between buying armor and 3D printing, but with @MrPoopie's 3D files being recently released, I'm going the 3D printer route!

BikerScout007 Posted August 18, 2020 Author Posted August 18, 2020 Took 30 hours but here's one shoulder bell! And can I just say I love the tree supports. They look so creepy. 1

I'm just not set up properly in my condo for printing PETg or ABS. I'm going to coat these parts with XTC-3D and then stay out of the sun 1
BikerScout007 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Posted August 29, 2020 I just got the CR-6 put together so I am officially a print farmer! And the first piece of gear I printed on it was a handplate. 2

BikerScout007 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Posted September 5, 2020 Just a little update. I decided to switch to PETG for the big armor pieces and after some trial and error I've got my CR-6 pretty well dialed in. Making some good progress on the back armor 3
Michael_Davis26019 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Which ender 3 did you start out using?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah for sure. Although I usually take summers off. I let the new guys handle the heat And if I thought I was going to melt, I'd probably just wear my Scout or Shoretrooper! 1

BikerScout007 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Posted September 12, 2020 Got the back armor glued together. Got some gaps to fill and some sanding to do but it's nice to make some progressSent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk 5
