Justice buster suit mechanics help

so im gonna try my hand and the new justice buster suit and im gonna do it kinda like xrobots hulkbuster in a way that im wanting the joints to lock and i just climb into the suit when im wanting to wear the thing is i don't have a 3d printer to make any custom locking mechanism for the it so im wanting to know if anyone has any suggestions to what might b my best option and another thing would PVC pipping be strong enough to make the frame out of and be able to support my weight if i made slits with them here is a pic of the suit and a pic of xrobots design of the framework

Probably best off to try and make a small version first. Oversize suits create a whole new world of difficulties over regular scale costumes, everything from just having range of motion to also being able to move around, see, and even just put on.

PVC does work well for framing/skeletal forms. You can see how I used PVC on one oversized suit (and some of the other problems that arise) in this thread:

Didn't explain myself very well, what I meant by a small version is SMALL I have some 1/6 scale characters (but any size will work) that I mock up armors on sometimes. Anyways, good luck with it!
