Almost finished the paperwork

Almost finished the paperwork

Progress looks great! It's good to see somebody else who builds in paper, I was thinking we were a dying breed :lol

Thanks! Do you have any idea how much fiberglass cloth do I need the finish my suit? I'd like to buy it next week, but don't want to buy too much.

BTW I think paper is better than foam because paper-armors are more durable, and detailed.

Agreed!
What size can you get your cloth in? I'd plan on 8-9 square meters for a layer (including overlap). When in doubt, buy extra, it'll get used eventually

Here in Hungary I can buy cloth in big rolls (1.25 m wide, this can't be modified). I can tell the seller only that how long roll do I need. So the minimum is 1.25 square meters. I can multiply this, so if I buy 5 meters, I'll get 6.25 square meters. Maybe the best would be a 10 m long roll, that has to enough.

I wish I would have kept better track of my total usage to give you a better estimate. I would buy 10 meters worth to be safe, but I use fiberglass on everything.

Ok, than I'll buy 10 meters. I have some other projects, e.g. a stormtrooper and an Iron Patriot, that I'd like to begin this summer.

Can't wait to see the final product

Here's a circuit diagram for Iron Man's voice modulator. Haven't tested yet, but looks like it'll work fine. Lot of options with pushbuttons.

I've uploaded my ARC reactor design to Shapeways.com. Iron Man ARC reactor top part by Mdavid on Shapeways

Maybe the cheapest model, the top part costs only 4.33€!!! Still working on the bottom, it's a bit hard to make it, but hope you'll like it!

Hi, my name is David, and (as I know) I am the first Hungarian guy who tries to build an Iron Man suit.

I use DarkSide's Pepakura files (thanks so much, they are awesome) and use 200g paper. As I'm an engineering student, I have some great ideas for the suit's mechanical parts.

I'll use Texas Instruments' MSP430 microcontroller to control servos, LED-s and other circuits.
I'll have circuits in the hip pods that symbolizes Iron Man's heat seeking countermeasure system, a TDA2030A amplifier connected to a WTV020 woice module and two 15 Watts speakers. The ARC reactor will have some light effect, and I'll put servos in the shins (flaps), tha lower forearm (missiles and in the back (flaps) and the faceplate.

I have started to design an exoskeleton strapping system same as James (from Xrobots.co.uk - I like Jason's work, he is so good) but with little modifications.

That's all for now, here's some pictures of the progress, see more at my Facebook page. (Unfortunatelly it's in Hungarian, but there are a lot of photos to see the progress)

Nagyon jól néz ki a a páncélod, és jó végre látni magyar építőket is ezen az oldalon.

Interesting thread, good luck with it, look forward to seeing it progress

Először nem hittem el, hogy magyar szöveget olvasok a fórumon. Köszönöm szépen! Te mikkel foglalkozol?

Műszaki Egyetemen vagyok sokadéves építőmérnök hallgató, és egy Mk. III-as Vasember páncélt építgetek, már majdnem kész van, egy kis gitt, egy kis festék, és nagyjából kész is.

Én is BME-s vagyok, csak járműmérnök hallgató. Az enyém is már majdnem kész, az elektronikával is haladok, alig pár darab van vissza a páncélból is

Mostanában én is az elektronikával foglalkoztam, mondjuk én csak szemvilágítást, és világító ARC-t rakok bele. Nekem még a hasfal hiányzik, mert a Mk. III-hoz nem nagyon találtam jó modellt, ezért sztem azt az egy darabot szivacsból fogom megcsinálni, így talán kényelmesebb is lesz viselni, a többi darab pedig papír/üvegszál kombó.

Hi! I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to let you know that I'm printing your arc reactor right now and it looks great!!
Many thanks for the files!!

 

[ani2600]

nice work !

 

[ReVolt]

Sure is nice work.
Takes a LOT of time!

This is totally awesome that you shared this! Where/how did you mount the batteries?
