I now have finally set up my printer and wanted to start printing using Sean Fields files on Shoretrooper.co.uk, does anyone know what size they’re modelled after so I can adjust the scale appropriately?

I believe it was for a 160-180 pound, 5 foot 10 inches individual. I haven't used it but certain software can be used to put in your measurements and then adjust sizing accordingly. 

From my experience printing in single pieces is best for the forearms, biceps, and shoulder bells although my shoulders are the three part configuration from his files. 

I slightly scaled up the helmet, forearms, and biceps to fit properly but haven't needed to for the other segmented parts. I am 5'10'' and about 195 and most of it fits well enough on me.  I would encourage you take measurements of yourself to help guide your printing. Remember that the armor goes over the soft parts so you'll need space for that.

I hope that is helpful.  There is going to be trial and error with the printing so be patient with yourself as you go along.

Cheers

Armorsmith is the armor sizing software.  I am 5' 9.75" and about 190#. I found that the gauntlets are way too big, the biceps are too big, the bells are too small (just slightly) The shins are just slightly too small (runner with big calfs), the rest is about right.  But that is all just for me.  Everyone else's mileage may vary.
