Hello everyone!
My name is Mike.
Over a year ago I got my first 3d printer and 6 months later got another one from my wife as a gift.
I have started my first big 3d printing project. A full set of ESB Boba Fett armour.
I have started with Rafalfetts 3d files off shapeways and 3dwarehouse, took them into blender and started making some changes.
First off I needed to model the dents using the sculpt tool. I took Rafalfetts painting templates off this forum and used them, and pictures online to create some of the dents.
So far I have the left chest, right chest, center diamond and one should done. The belly plate is printing and almost finished.
For the gauntlets I am creating the 3d model on blender from scratch using references found all over the internet.
Once the armour is complete I plan to start on the jetpack. I will cut up the pieces to fit my ender 5 build size and piece it together after its all printed.
The EE3 is from Hex3d Patreon. It's not 100% accurate, but for now I enjoy it. I will reprint another one day, again using Rafalfetts awesome files off the internet.
I will be using a combination of FDM printing and SLA resin printing to create all the armour pieces.
The Helmet is a Black Series Helmet.
Any constructive criticism is welcome, especially with the dents I have to sculpt. This is my first project so I hope it all goes well!
Thank you very much to Rafalfett. If it wasn't for his generous 3d files and templates all online I don't know if I would have had the confidence to embark on a project like this.
