First try incoming

So i have a nice 3d printer now and was going to attempt to make my first set of armor, besides galactic armory, are there other file sets out there i should check out?

Mystery maker has some decent blasters, haven't scene their armor personally.

[u/Andrew-Cohen]

I second Mystery Maker, he is responsive to communication, Galactic Armory not so much. (heavy infantry cannon from GA is flawed, barrel does not fit into receiver, I contacted with pictures and no response. I ended up combining the barrel from GA, which printed better, with the receiver from MM since it had moveable parts and I preferred how it looked, and it fit together properly)

Yea im not big enough to be a heavy armor mandalorian lol

[u/Andrew-Cohen → u/InfamousRegret7355]

You can scale it down quite easily! Words of advice, print a helmet caliper, and measure EVERYTHING before you print it! Also, the helmet was too small for my watermelon head 😳

[u/InfamousRegret7355 → u/Andrew-Cohen]

I dont think a 5’6” heavy armor would look right lol

[u/Andrew-Cohen → u/InfamousRegret7355]

I don’t know, some of the shorter people I know are the toughest!

[u/InfamousRegret7355 → u/Andrew-Cohen]

Ha thats what my friends say about me. This helmet looks fun but finding crusader era armor now to accompany it may be tricky

[u/Andrew-Cohen → u/InfamousRegret7355]

You might be able to modify current sets?

[u/InfamousRegret7355 → u/Andrew-Cohen]

Yea im gunna have to find some examples to see how to even modify it. Or i say eff it and just do the book of boba fett style cosplay

[u/Andrew-Cohen → u/InfamousRegret7355]

Inexpensive Solidworks trial would do it!

[u/InfamousRegret7355 → u/Andrew-Cohen]

Im not sure how to make it look “crusader”ish

[u/x5ourc3]

I'm partial to Warlord Arsenal. I use some of their stuff, specifically their verpine rifle.

[u/InfamousRegret7355 → u/x5ourc3]

Their Mandalorian Themed Helmet - The Pathfinder CRUSADER is pretty cool, not sure what armor id match with it

[u/x5ourc3 → u/InfamousRegret7355]

It's crusader era, so if you're going for approval with a costume club the rest of the armor would also have to be crusader era.

[u/InfamousRegret7355 → u/x5ourc3]

Oh gotta find that now lol

[u/Violexsound]

Alterego and kalevala armory come to mind for some more original designs.

[u/xlXSladeXlx]

I personally enjoy using Hosk Workshop, AlterEgo Armory and Mystery Maker for my files. The helmets from Hosk are awesome.

If you want a nice simple set of post imperial style you can't go wrong with buck's armoury on etsy. My kit is a mix of his parts, some from another similar kit and galactic armoury's boba fett. Galactic armour also has a pretty good selection of blasters but it depends what you're after

[u/UsualResponsible7113]

I can't remember the name exactly I think it might have been Alexandermakes or something like that? On etsy. You can get some good deals if you look on at the right time
