Thanks for the reply [USER=16088]The FreshMaker[/USER] ! I actually forgot to update but I did end up buying the files as they were on sale. I was a little disappointed that nothing was oriented for printing and that I had to slice the backplate up into 4 pieces, especially seeing as Aaron (I think that's his name?) sliced his into 4 pieces for printing. I didn't do the helmet but I did use the front and back armor and kneepads. The kneepads I have an issue with because the darts aren't split off so you have to choose between printing with nice darts but having to do more work on the kneepads, or print the darts with supports and have nice knees. I'll probably remodel those myself.


You're right about the accuracy of the vambraces/gauntlets. I started taking a look at the files and like the others they're not sliced up for printing at all so I was looking at breaking them apart to get a nicer print that's easier to finish. That was going to prove impossible so I remodeled them myself, and in the process found that they are essentially accurate enough for casual cosplay but have many inaccuracies if you start to really compare them to the screen used ones. I'm not saying mine are perfect but I think they're a lot closer. I detail some of this in my build thread and there are also links to the ones I modeled there.


I also have a problem with how the backplate fits, it seems like it's too curved in the shoulders so it sits a little too far forward and ends up pushing the collar down a bit far. Haven't printed the jetpack yet so can't comment on that.


So yeah my thoughts are that the files are nicely sculpted but definitely not for those that care about being screen accurate.
