Hello Everyone,
I have been looking to start my TK Build for quite some time. Slowly but surely, I have been printing out parts for a ROTK.
I have recently moved to Virginia, and am extremely new to the forums, and a wee bit nervous after navigating my way around the "Getting Started" forums.
Nevertheless, I am excited to get through my very first build and would be greatly appreciative of any constructive criticism, or helpful pointers for my build!
Some Administrative Information:
I am printing off of a Creality CR-10 V2, With a build volume of 300 x 300 x 400 mm.
Majority of the project will be done with Zyltech PLA. 1.75mm diameter
To scale the armor to myself, I am using "Armorsmith Designer" to the best of my ability.
The files I am using are from Pewpewcrafts.com
(any modifications to the actual armor I need to do will be post printing as I am not a blender wiz)
Above is the preview of the 3D model from pewpewcrafts website.
First piece I decided to print was the Helmet. for 2 reasons
1: The Helmet is going to need the most attention out of all pieces of the armor (in my opinion). As it has multiple greebles I needed to print separate to the bucket, it has the most "complex" paint job in comparison to the rest of the suit.
2: Its the coolest part! Therefore, I need to do it first, right?
This being said, The Helmet after being scaled in Armorsmith Designed is ever so slightly too large for my printer.
To work around this, I cut the file into 3 seperate parts.
-The face, cut just behind the ear.
-The back of the Helmet, which is the ear and behind.
-The top of the helmet which I cut just under the brim of the "eyebrow".
