Re: 3D Printed Samus Varia Suit
Small update: I just finished the chest armor model!
This should fit me perfectly based on the quick pepakura I did of it. In order for it to be printed it will need to be broken down into six pieces like so:
However, when finished it will still only be in two pieces since my head won't fit through the neck hole. The middle and the front will be glued together and the seam fixed with bondo, while the back will attach to the front pieces with some sort of sliding clip system that I have yet to nail down. Basically all it needs to do is stay rigid, clip in place, and be easily detachable by my helper.
Previously I had already completed the models for the arm cannon and shoulders, but I haven't posted about them yet simply because I just haven't sat down and taken screenshots. Soon(tm)!
