Welcome to FISD!

I would recommend 2 things:

1: check the 3D section under armory

https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/30-armory/

2: start a build thread in the build section for the type of armor you will be printing-ANH/ESB/ROTJ etc.

Looking forward seeing it and good luck

Hello and welcome aboard, a big project, looking forward to seeing the progress. Make sure you are making to suit the base requirements from the CRL (costume reference library) you can find ANH Stormtrooper here

To give you some pictures of the progress this is what it looks at the moment.

I made a 3d scan of me to fit the pieces to my sice.

Hi and welcome to fisd !!

Welcome Basti!

Welcome Basti! 

The files look great so far. Be sure to check out our 3D resources that Dan listed above. 

I have 3 CR-10's but I will tell you that unless you plan on molding and vacuum forming kits for sale I'll be much quicker and more cost effective to go with an approved vendor. 

Don't forget to factor in your time post printing for sanding and sanding and then wet sanding some more before you begin sanding lol, best of luck with your journey! The files really do look amazing!

Hello and welcome to the FISD! Good luck with the 3D modelling! Looks like a lot of work, that's for sure. Also, check out the gallery here for some reference from screen used costumes and props.

Hi, it’s been some time now but i wanted to give you a quick heads up. I finished printing and painting the helmet for the premiere of ROS. And since one Project isn’t enough i maid a TLJ Stromtrooper helmet for my brother.

But i also continued working on the ANH armor end even started a TLJ armor build. I will start some building threads to show my progress.

I wanted to thank you for your first replays i got some inspiration out of it.

Following are some pictures of my progress and the premiere

Helmet looks a bit odd since it looks like you smoothed out the tube to frown end corner. You see it on this pic: https://databank.501st.com/databank/File:TK_anh_stunt_helmet.jpeg

Otherwise it looks like you caught most details so far
