I have finally started my Clavius base suit. I'll be posting progress photos here. I welcome any and all feedback. Here are some images of the start of the helmet.
I modeled it MAYA and prepped the files for print in Meshmixer. Printed in Carbon fiber PLA. I wasn't happy with a few spots after printing so I did some reshaping with JB Weld. I forgot to take pictures of the print before I started refining it but will be better documenting my steps as I go.
I've decided that rather than go 100% screen accurate, I want to embellish some areas with detail not seen on the available reference.
As you can see I designed in faciting into the "data cartridge" section to guarantee a perfect alignment of the cartridges. I will be using magnets to make the cartridges removable and putting some memory card style attachment. Diagram is WIP.
