Wearable arc reactors made with 3D printer

Been a while since I posted anything but I figured I'd show you guys what I have been working on the last few weeks. I recently got some STARK license plates for my car(NSX) and decided I needed a wearable arc reactor to go with it. I used Google Sketchup to draw them up and ReplicatorG to create the toolpaths/gcode to print them out with a Makerbot. Still need to add the brass details to the MarkI but other than that I am pretty close to being done. My son told me he wanted one like daddy so I made him one too but I cheated a little on his and used the faceplate from an extra MarkV? toy we had laying around.

Forgot to add that through friends, Grant Imahara found out that I was working on an arc and he contacted me since he needed one for a costume party he would be attending. I was able to hook him up with a DIY kit.

Nice! How do they look under a t-shirt? Is the power connected in a seperate pack?

Here are a couple pics under shirts. Battery is just a 9V(lasts over 11 hours) and I printed out a little holder for the battery that I attach to my belt.

Even picked up a vintage Black Sabbath t-shirt off ebay to go with the Avengers version. Got one for my son as well so we can be big Stark, little Stark.

Very cool.

nice work! are those prints from The Replicator? have you posted your files on Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects yet?
