[ANH Stormtrooper 3d printed]

Ok, understood. 

If the helmet is off, I won't bother buying the set.

Will also take in consideration the weight and flexibility factor, and leave 3d printing for the shoretrooper, that uses less plastic pieces.

Thank you!

I have seen some working on 3D printed files but none that I know of have been 501st approved, just because someone says can be doesn't mean it will be so be careful.

 

Armor can take a lot of stress when bending and moving I think you will find 3D print will break under this stress. 

Thank you for the reply .

You are right, that's why I'm asking for the "specialists" ;-) who can define an accurate armour. 

About the stress, it depends on the material and the post print.

Vaporized acetone on abs, makes the print stronger. Add to that resin on the back side of the printed part, and you have a piece strong enough.

I work with prosthetics production, and abs, petg or nylon are the choice for sturdy pieces. (Myself, would print in nylon... but sadly,  can't be painted or glued...)

 

So, the question remains: by the image I've posted, is it possible to say the accuracy?

 

Thanks

A new hopearmor is under 2 mm thick in most places . A 3 d print isnt going to be strong enough .

your best bet is to buy armour from a reccomended supplier , and use the 3d printer to print the gun , there are plenty accurate patterns on thingiverse 

Does  it has to be around 2mm to be approved? Because I have the shoretrooper model from "shoretrooper fam", and it is thicker than that.

Hi everyone!
I am new on the forum and hopefully a future Swiss Garrison Member.
I work with 3d printing and for that reason, wish to print my own armor.

So, my question is: is there any modeller (member or not) who sells an approved model?
Found one at the do3d website, and they claimed to be 501st approved... but, as I don't really know how to "define" an accurate armor... so here I am asking for help!
I saw , here in the forum, some comments about the quality of the do3d models, but no comment about the accuracy...

I don't know if I can post the link, so, i'll just leave a picture...

thank you for any help!
