3D Printed Mandalorian Armor With Only FREE STL Files? Pt.1
In this video series, I plan to find if I can 3D print Mandalorian cosplay armor using only free STL files.
I'll walk you through my entire process, from finding the right files to finishing and painting the armor. Why pay for the STL files when you can find them for free?

Thank you.. I LOVE FREE STUFF !!!
Me too! And thank you for watching!
Hey I printed this and finished this model as well. I actually carved in the shapes on the back that were missing.
That's awesome! How did it turn out?
@@VaderDadBuilds turned out nice. I was just bothered that those were missing. But yeah, on shelf it looks amazing because I did the movie way of weathering it which is with a rattle can.
How many days of printing did it take?
I don't remember the exact numbers, but the chest and torso were about 40 hours each, and the other parts were about 25 hours each. So...too many.
Surprised you didn't mention increasing how many brims are printed.
As printing upside down would help with flatter prints, it’s not so cost effective for more 3rd dimensional prints
What brand of gray spray paint did you use and what was the clear coat that you used?
I used rust-oleum with the 5 in 1 spray nozzle for both.
I wonder if this would work with mica powders for nails to get other colors?
Great question! I thought the same thing myself when I was working on these. I haven't had a chance to test it out, but I'll let you know once I do.
I'm new to this, and had same issues too. The reason i found out is my gantry was not perfectly square (i had to disassemble it for transport) I identified the problem by one of the rollers spinning freely on the z axis. I fixed it by loosening the bottom and top screws on both poles, raising the z axis all the way to the top, tightening tue top screws, then lowering z axis to bottom and tightening bottom screws. I verified by checking all z axis rollers have friction with the poles, and a straight edge.
Just stumbled across your channel. Good stuff, brother. I followed you on Printables. Look me up!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you! just straight!
And thank you for watching!
what printer you use ? looking so smooth!
Thank you, and thanks for watching! I printed these with an Ender 3 Max Neo.
How much of an effect does a heated bed have on warping with 3D prints? My printer doesn't have one, so not sure if there other measures I should take or if everything else that he's mentioned is enough to solve warping.
Z-seam on corners also creates warping issues
effing legend
The one white Oreo in the package : I am no jedi
Regular or double stuff?
@@VaderDadBuilds oh uh idk,I was it in the package lol,watch carefully lol
@AnakinSkywalker_th3Ch0s3n0n3 Oh right, it was just a padawan
@@VaderDadBuilds someone’s padawan…I wonder who…
in the preview tab I believe there is an option to show the colors as layer thickness
For a much better Result you wanna apply this over a 2k clear gloss black surface. and after mutiple passes of graphite - wash it off - graphite over and over. you wanna use another 2k clear over the graphite. it wont dull it and you have a mirror like chrome finish.
There isnt anything there to click
Thanks for letting me know. I guess the endscreens don't work for shorts. There is a related video link towards the bottom.
Thanks for the tip about the Helmet Pads.
Glad it helped. Thank you for watching!
😮❤
Great Work! We'd love to offer you some parts, like 3DP or CNC machining if you might need them in the upcoming content. (PCBWayDaisy)
Right to the point, no time wasted, thank you!
And thank you for watching!
finnally every time i search for some tutorial on this i can never find anything, thank you sir, i can die in peace now.
And thank you for watching!
@@VaderDadBuilds no problem! i have a replica of the master sword from zelda that ive been meaning to finish but i could never find a tutorial on that graphite stuff. how do you think this will work on matte colors? im hoping to make a flat blue kind of metallic looking.
I suggest testing with the plastic spoons first. You don't want a finish over your hard work that you don't like. It would be interesting to see what different colors under the graphite.
Awesome video! I will definitely try it! Which mandalorian helmet model are you using?
I bought that helmet before I started 3D printing. I will be doing videos of updating all my armor and will be providing all the free STLs I use.
@@VaderDadBuilds thanks!!
That looks very metallic indeed. I wonder if the graphite coating makes the surface fully conductive to allow for electro-chemical deposition of real metal on the surface.
Great question! Maybe I'll need to try that in a future video.
A glue stick is not a solution, its a band aid to a different problem. PLA doesn't need glue to stick to the bed so if you require it, the underlining issue is not resolved.
18 hours? 😭 Just cut it out of sheet metal
Hey there, when using the glue do you keep bed heated?
Yes, whether or not I'm using the glue, I usually have the bed at 60.
upside down, set first layer width to 0.35 and infill overlap to 30%. Thank me later
ohh, and if you use a well calibrated machine like mk4, much better
11 hours for that? Are you kidding me. A modern 3-D printer can do that in about 30 minutes.
I like you don't use music in your videos, thank you for that and for share the settings.
Thank you for watching!
Concentric top layer may look great since it is a clock.
On the top layer use a concentric surface pattern for this round object. Otherwise try using a Hilbert curve if using Orca slicer. These tend to give a better top look, imho.
Looks great! Printing my own now! What did you do to connect the front and rear of the helmet?
That's awesome! Good luck with your print! The printed bolts hold it in place and still allows you to open it. The bolt was a tight fit and held in place without glue.
Whenever he says "layer lines" he means "print lines". "layer lines" are the lines between each layer, which run vertically throughout the print, not across the top layer of the print (which is a single layer)
Really thought the "rub glue all over the thing" idea was an inside joke used to haze those new to the hobby. This is exactly the reason I waited so long to get into the hobby.
Who uses cura in 2024?
What do you use. Prusaslicer
I do
@@KIDC0SM0S I still use cura because how it work with my setup. idk how cura is bad, as it has certain plugins that make it great.
I don't like adaptive layers. It's slow and does odd things.
I think you could have saved yourself a lot of time with a smaller project. 👍
Textured bed sheet, upside down, lower z offset so the squish will blend, and same bottom layer advice you used and it’ll look 10x better no ironing needed
Oh. I wondered why my bottoms looked sloppy since I last leveled the bed. Thanks.
Good video, i like your style, no nonsense, you get straight to it and show us your full process with clear and concise explanation. Good work. First video I've watched on your channel, I'll be back for more 😊
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the other videos as well.
Yes str8 to the point , no nonstop talking for the first half of the video 😂 thank you @vaderdadbuilds
When using glue sticks, I wash the bed with detergent to get a water break surface. I rinse off the detergent with fresh water. While the bed is still wet, I apply glue stick and use my grease free finger to mix the glue stick with the water to form a medium thick paste. When dry, this leaves a very smooth flat surface.
Almost all of this issues already fixed in various latest patches of orca slicer.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this model. I've been wanting to print a AT-ST for a while so I'll definitely check out that model on Printables. For the rail on top of the head, I think I'll design printable mounts and bend a piece of copper wire for the rail itself. The more delicate parts will get resin printed to make life easier for me and my FDM printer. I'm going to try using TPE for the joints instead of TPU because it is softer and might provide more friction to make posing a little easier. I may even scale up the model.
Awesome! Good luck with your print, resin printing will definitely help.
Great tips..
2 minutes and straight to the point? That’s a sub from me
Thank you for watching and subscribing! Glad you liked it.
I will have to try this out when I get my 3d printer. Thank you for mentioning the time it took to print. I want to compare it to mine
Yours will definitely be faster than mine.
You need to print it upside down on a textured plate and use a .2mm first layer
for smt like this print flipping the model and using a powdered bed is perfect, u dont see any print lines. For other models ironing is good but needs to be calibrated perfectly
It's so utterly stupid that monotonic isn't default. Cura used to always do monotonic, but added "optimized" order a few years go, and only added the option to go back after enough people complained... 🤦
