3D Printing Iron Man MK46 Suit

[avengerXXX]

Do I think they are worth it. It took me a couple of days to decide whether or not to buy them as I wanted as accurate as possible and to me I think they are slightly more accurate than DO3D files but that's my opinion and I could be completely wrong as I haven't seen the DO3D files in person.

I already did a mark 43 from do.3D wasn't happy with the fittings especially near my pants they hurt you a lot as the legs of armor in movie are long as compared from one you genuinely have. After 6 moths I can't wear that thing again, before I was 5'8 and now 5,11.

Thats not good that it hurt you did you add padding to reduce the soreness?

I did only to make it more narrow to get it struck on my thighs.

What did you use for padding? Was it EVA? Would upholstery foam be a better option?

It was EVA. If you're going for padding you should leave space according to thickness of foam you are using, the one I used was 5mm and 1cm respectively

Never even thought about giving that little bit extra for padding but i think it will be fine it looks like i should have a bit of room.

Helmet fully printed may reprint the top of the faceplate as it is slightly warped next is to sand the edges and start gluing

From experience I'd go chest and abs first to make sure of the correct scaling.

Agreed. And I would love to see the chest details of these files

I was wondering why you printed the top half in 3 pieces. Reason I'm asking is because I will get a prusa mk2 next week. Is the print bed not big enough?

Probably to avoid a central seam which would cause a ridge line due to warping/shrinkage that would be hard to Bondo out.

Great thread mate. Just purchased the files and will start this project as well.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the kind words, Sorry all that I haven't been active life and all that taking over I need to re assemble my printer as I am tweaking it a little as the abs on one part kept lifting and I am unsure of when I will be continuing this build hopefully after halloween as I am working on a quick build for halloween.

Nice start. Max's files are supersmooth. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
