Iron Man MK6 MK 6 Suit

Update 07.01.2018: uploaded sketch for back and helmet. Here are my files for a complete Iron Man MK6 suit. I'm really excited about how it turned out, but it's not the most comfortable thing to wear. And since Halloween is just around the corner, I added a battle-damaged mask for the helmet - it looks pretty sweet! Check out this video of the moving faceplate - it's one of my favorite features! Special thanks to "redeathray" for helping me with the code. https://youtu.be/Wdb1UWU4UAY https://youtu.be/P-KLNkn2KAA https://youtu.be/ZY1E9p6GItU The pictures show me trying out all parts. The electronics are still a work in progress, but I thought you'd be more interested in the files. One of the pictures shows a small version of the MK6 helmet as battle-damaged - I'm thinking of using it as decoration for Halloween. To be honest, I prefer the look of the MK3 helmet to wear myself. But that's just me! You can download all the files from "jhon De Sousa" on this link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:260152 Most parts are based on a 24cm high Iron Man MK6 shell figure from "RohitVen". I asked him to rework and publish his files as a costume, and he agreed to do so - thanks Rohit! The gloves were made using a Papakura file. The original glove was designed by "zabana" and remixed by "darkside501st". You can find the original link for the glove here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=139470 I used Inventor to design the hinges and other parts. Custom Section: Aching and breaking It might look pretty good, but because of the tough fittings and sometimes narrow parts, it hurts a little in many positions - especially at the knee and elbow. To drink something while wearing the suit, you'll need a straw! Some parts might break off if they're not printed well or if you move around too much. So be sure to test everything before you paint it - this will save you a lot of work. Print Settings: Printer: CL-260, Prusa I3 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 15 Notes: * You'll need to mirror many parts with your slicer - the chest, back, and hips are just half models. * I tried to set a good position for printing the parts, but you know your printer better than I do. * Walls should be at least 0.8 mm if you really want to wear it. Post-Printing: Finishing I connected the parts using a soldering iron - you might also use glue, but I don't think it will last long if you're going to wear it. Then I used a 3D-Pen to make the connection points thicker. If you want a really good costume, you'll need to sand and paint everything. This might be the most work, but trust me, it's worth it! For the whole suit, you'll need several weeks - otherwise, you can print it in a higher resolution, but that would take a lot of time or many printers. How I Designed This Well... First, I found the figure of the Iron Man MK6 suit on Thingiverse. As I already made an Iron Man suit out of foam, I was really satisfied to find such a good model. I used Meshmixer to make the parts thicker, enlarge them, resize them, connect them, and try to delete any failures. Hinges and other things were designed with Inventor. It's been a lot of work, but I'm really happy with how it turned out!
