So the journey beggins. Unsure how long it will take with all the other plans I have to build stuff but I have started.
Reasons for making my own
Im keen to keep expanding my skills with design work and push my skills with 3d printing.
After looking at the Scarif armor thats avaliable, I feel I can make as good or better than whats out there at the moment.
The reference material is huge, all over the internet. pathfinders, facebook, spec ops, RPF . . .
Some files that are out there are pretty accurate so I will be using/modifying them to print some part.
For the cost of shipping a suit of armor I can buy the plastic I need to print it and have some change.
The main reason to cast the bigger items is that I have learnt the hard way that 3d prints if made in parts from PLA when glued eventually crack at the join if there is too much movment. They are not as durable as a cast. Speding hours sanding and priming and sanding and finishing just to have the seams become visible is no fun.
So I've started work on the handguards.
Prints incoming once I have finished my Rogue one Rebel Helmet.
