Help me learn from my first failure.

Hello!

Looking to see what I am able to learn from the community here about my first failure.

I am trying to 3D print my first set of armor on an Ender 3 V1. I have been watching tutorials and have been in Armorsmith getting my scaling set.

Long story short, I got a few thermal runaway errors and the print became miss aligned. After trying to resolve the error and I had to cut my losses at 82% completion.

I am using MoeSizzlac Halo Infinite 3D files and wanted to get some help on that I have learned so far.

- Is there too much thickness between the inner and outer walls? The print file in the picture was about a 2 day print with supports.

- Are there any recommended setting for printing or should the defaults mostly work? I have gathered a bunch of settings from tutorials but I assume there are too many differences to have an overall recommendation?

- Regarding scale in armorsmith, I plugged in my measurements but I feel that there is too much room in this piece. I know that I can fill in some and the under suit will take up some of the space. Thoughts?

Thanks everyone. I am finally trying to make the thing that I have wanted since I was young and the amount of things to consider can get overwhelming.
