Finished Halo ODST Pumpkin Armor. Props to Galactic Armory for the set. Now to go hand out candy tomorrow in 100 degree weather to finish the fight or something.

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.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Based off the nerf ma40. I fully disassembled everything and primed inside and out.

To make the K (kurtz) variant I started by trimming the shroud to remove the front and top assemblies. That shortened the overall silhouet to where I wanted, but left the barrel hanging simce its actually held in by the flash hider assembly.

To fix that and fill in the gaps left behind I modelled a front plate with a hole for the barrel and a new forward top plate with a pic rail. Everything then got glued together.

I used a worker nerf to pic rail part to add the top rail on. Then wprked up some greeblies from model kits to add details on the front assembly and top end.

Red dot is an off brand amazon sight that I thought has.a Hol ish look. The ammo counter is a nerf replacement unit off thingivers that I modified with a hole for a clear display and rpund battery compartment on the side. I printed up a replacement glass part in clear resin, and backlit with an led light strip like they use for Iron Man eyes in cosplay.

Ghen I went to town with accessories lol. Up front is a PEQ type airsoft item that has a light Ir and green laser, in universe it would be to replace the light lost in the k conversion and the targeting system thats normally under the front shroud.

I used a tri rail stl off thingiverse to replave the batter part of the handguard, and mountrd a "grenade launcher". The launcher is a pump action gel blaster, m203 style sort of.

Finally I printed up a suppressor, remodelled with a hole to fit the Nerf size barrel.

Painted with rattle cans in shades of black, and hand brushed tamiya acrylic. Then a combo of dry brushing, painted scratches, and oil wash.

Hope you all enjoy.

I know I just posted some picture but i finished the smg and just attached a sling so wanted to thow a couple better picture out, i leave for the convention in going to in 3 days i hope to get alot of picture there

Just received Galactic Armory’s new ODST visor. It’s a significant improvement on their old one. I previously used their clear, vacuum formed visor for my original helmet (right) which I airbrushed silver, and built a second helmet in anticipation for the arrival of their new injection-molded visor.

The difference is even more drastic in person.

As the title says, I'm looking to get a paint color match for Halo 2 Anniversary Chief, as that's the color I plan to paint my in progress Mark VI. If anyone has a paint suggestion that is relatively close, please let me know!
