BikerScout007 Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Just as an example, I printed my 4 year old daughter's Shoretrooper armor at 2 walls and 10% infill. Not only is it light, but it has some flex. Went 4 walls/20% on collar, hand plates, buckles, etc. She ran around for two hours at a con with that armor on and it surprisingly stayed in one piece. So if it works for a 4 year old, I think it should do well for 40 year olds 1
damojamo1979 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Posted February 2, 2022 Thanks guys, that really helps a lot!! 😃 I'm gonna start buy printing the abs section first. I'm a 36" waist which isn't a problem....its the bit that hangs over it which may be a problem! haha Lockdown and christmas is never kind to the waist ! haha 1
Kilika Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 A very good day to you. I have to echo Bikerscout's early post regarding the greaves. Of all the parts I printed from Sean's files, the greaves have been the stickier wickets in trying to assemble (10 pieces each leg excluding buckles/straps). The abs/back actually connect pretty well together. I would recommend that if you resize the abdominal items at all to be mindful of that when printing the chest/back to account for the upper overlapping the abdominal section. GIven the number of pieces be sure to be patient with the build and yourself. Definitely a marathon and it is very daunting at the start but it satisfying when each piece starts coming together (I'm slowly working through assembly myself). I wish you the best as you progress and look forward to see how your build progresses. Cheers Chris 3
