Thanks Win7ermute, figured I'd probably want to sit down a the next 'Con i'm getting ready for, so i made it on a separate belt for easy removal. Now to just finishing coding the Arduino so i can get the 40 LEDs per jet to pulse like the thrusters...

I looked all over for TitanFall 2 Grapple Pilot files, but alas i wound up having to make my whole suit from scratch. I took a lot of screen shots and time building this, but here was my last test fitting I did. let me know if I can help you out, i have a template of the boots I made, and a...

Maximus, Thanks for the compliment. As for the Helmet print, I try to orient that objects on the build plate so that I can get a simple clean line on the edge facing the build plate, and try to minimize the overhangs as much as I can. I've found my printer is very good at verticality, but not...

I've had my first taste of 3D printing at my University back in 2004, when the University got one of the first printers and I was first to design objects to use in our wind tunnel. Since then i've kept up on it, but it wasn't until about 2 years ago i got my own personal printer an M3D Micro...

i will generally put a small cut/cavity on the tips of items that extends an inch or two. That way if air is trapped in the tip, it has somewhere to go. you wind up with a little flash at the end that is easily cut off.

this exact item was modeled on thingiverse and is free to download and 3D print if you have a printer. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1607206

I believe i might have found a way to get pep files into something that my Cricut should be able to cut for me. With a little extra work, I think i can export into a pdf and load each file into the online design space, easily mark out the white sections (since they are boxed in by the solid...

check your backlash settings and make sure you clean your nozzle, this can cause feed issues and with the PLA peeling like that, it sounds like it could be a cooling issue as well. without video its hard to know. if you have a heated printbed, make sure its up to temp before starting the print...

Me and my buddies will be there this year! First time for one of them, the second year for two of us. We'll be in full Mass Effect N7 armor for all three of us. Guess it's time for me to get building.
