Hello All

[AndyCar]

Hello all, just starting out on this journey and obviously I need advise and I have a few questions?

First a little of my background I live the northeast of Old England (yes the UK so forgive me if I add a U to armour and colour). For the last 20 odd years I have been in various companies usually in the r+d or the "get it working" department so I'm quite good at fettling and building things.

1. I have a 3d printer and I have paid and downloaded the Rogue One Stormtrooper Armour - 3D Print Files from galacticarmory.net, my plan is to print these, test for fit and then sand and paint/polish to the correct colour.
2. The armour is designed for someone 6 foot tall, I am 5 feet 8 inches therefore I need to print at 95% scale (actually 94.4444% but I like round numbers). Do I scale the helmet?
3. I also downloaded the files for the E-11 Blaster and the DLT-19 Blaster any good?

Hello and welcome to the forum, I haven't seen that particular set of files built to date, a great 3D build here.

 

Conversation on 3D armor files

Some ROTK greeble files here

Some files you may find useful

 

E-11 and DLT-19 are a little different than the standard OTTK so you may want to compare with the Rouge One CRL https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_rogue_one

 

For a ROTK E-11 they don't get much better than these files

Great build of Nico's files and a few updates

Unfortunately I don't think it's that simple. Just because you're 5% shorter doesn't also mean you're 5% thinner for example. Really all scaling shout be done to suit you. There's lot of videos online about scaling armour. You're best bet is probably the Iron man builders who really have to nail it.

Thanks for the replies.

 

On scaling yes I know that just scaling all dimensions equally may lead to amour that is the right length but will not fit around me (the 95% is the starting point). So I will rough out the parts as a prototype and then feed the results back into the design.

 

The blaster set of files pointed to above are fantastic, hoverer as with all the blaster 3d print files the receiver/ barrel shroud are made up of multiple sections (a potential weak point) I will probably print them out and then use them as a template for a metal tube as a replacement.
