I thought some people here at the RPF would be interested in this kickstarter!
THIS IS NOT MY KICKSTARTER. just an FYI.
here is the link:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1047032538/morgans-of-mayhem-3d-print-project-take-2
here is some info on the project!
ONLY 9 DAYS LEFT!
Cheap, quality costumes. simple
Screw printed by Makerbot 150 microns
Warrior helmet wireframe
Defender helmet wireframe
ODST helmet wireframe
Recon helmet wireframe
Recruit helmet wireframe
3d test print, visor hex frame (visor will look different in end result)
I want to give people (and honestly myself) good, cheap armor. I'm rather frustrated with the Microsoft halo costume that is "amazing quality" It's basically 2 dimensional low-quality foam armor.

I don't mean to attack 343 or Microsoft,I love the Halo series, and almost everything they do, that product just lacks so much. As you see with the helmet that is picture, these are high def models (created by an associate) that can be printed at 40 microns per layer using this printer: http://3dmonstr.com/?q=more-details Specifically the "T-Rex 18"
I have a well trained 3d modeler working on the case. Here's his portfolio http://morrisseyalexander.wix.com/morrisseyportfolio
I plan to get that printer and use the 3d models and my trusty laptop to print out these various models. We use PLA as it is not only cheaper, but also a renewable bio-plastic, so its better for the environment. Now, I cant go and print them each one as they are ordered (it takes 30 minutes to print a screw the size of a quarter!!). So i will be making a vacuum former to produce these on a larger scale.
Vacuum forming is where you heat up plastic (ill be using two types, ABS for most of it and co-polyester for the visor that will be epoxied in for a nice hard feel) and then use a vacuum to pull the plastic around the mold.
I am excited to begin this project, however, the printer i need costs $5,399 USD. I need other supplies as well, like wetsuits, mannequins, plastic, a vacuum for the former, etc.
That's where you come in. Although most of the products are rather expensive, they are far cheaper (yet still fantastic quality) than other stores else (i.e. eBay, Etsy) PLUS I'll have a larger range, If this goes through I will have my team of about 5 CG artists creating ALL of the Halo 4 armor sets available in the multiplayer edition.
All of the pictures showing armor pieces and weapon pieces are VERY rough copies and will have work done! They are all 3d images that will be printed once i get my hands on the printer. Minus, of course the 3d test print of the Master Chief helmet.
Lastly, this project is in the developmental stage so theres no way for me to make a suit individually for every person. I apologies, and i mean no offense but if you have an irregular body size (big or small) the costume probably wont fit. The helmets are meant to fit people with about 24" heads. and under (as there will be something in it to protect the head) and the thigh, bicep, cod and chest pieces will all be adjustable to quite large and quite small. However, the shins and fore arms will be adjustable. The suits themselves will come in: Child's, small, medium, large and extra large. If you'd like to contribute, but are unsure if they'd fit (or have any questions or concerns at all) please, email my personal address at legofreakjr@hotmail.com with the subject: Morgans of Mayhem
Painting is an issue for some people. Here's the process:
After (or before) you order something that has options for painting If you choose to, email me, or message me, and specify what you want for the base color (we'll airbrush it so it looks nice and pretty) then specify what you want as secondary paint, basically assume the secondary color will look like it does in halo. If you don't want a secondary color, we will throw in a painted combat knife (and sheath) as well as a painted magnum!
There are several halo 4 helmets available at this time they are: Air assault, Aviator, Defender, E.V.A., Fotus, Hazop, ODST, Oceanic, Recon, Recruit, Scout, Soldier, Warrior and of course: Master chief
Also, there will be three available armor types for Star Wars: Arc trooper, Storm trooper and Clone trooper
Lastly mentioned is the "comic book" option the available helmets are: Deathstroke, The Red Hood, Iron Man and Judge Dredd
Once again all rights are not mine I am simply creating and selling art. The copyrighted names belong to their respected companies.
once again, if you have any questions or concerns at all, please, email my personal address at legofreakjr@hotmail.com with the subject: Morgans of Mayhem
Thank you so much for reading!
