Imagine doing this in pepakura, where you needed to fiber glass in, sand it, then bondo it , then sand again, then bondo and sand one more time. I hated my life when I was doing that
Out of curiosity do you think the armor could be printed in ABS instead of PLA, and if it can do you think your fiberglass and bondo methods would work as well?
plastic wood filler is a really good alternative and even better in my opinion as it far easier to sand and takes less time to set. fillers like plastic wood-x by dap is the one I have used on some of my armor and was really is to use. I thinned out the filler with a bit of water and basically painted it onto the print and then hit it with filler primer and was in some parts better than when i used the bondo. hope this helps!
its looks awesome takes some dedication
It looks really NICE ! You do a really great job ! Hope look forward for the next video !
What do you plan on doing for the blaster and the boots?
You could have just left it like this and called it camouflage, lol
Yeah, lol
That would look really cool
Hé made a kashyyyk trooper lol he really could it just let it like that
With respect to the pauldrons; adaptive layering should help with the ridginess at the top. I'll have to keep it in mind when I slice mine.
Love your videos very detailed :-)

Unfortunately, they don't (currently) sell Bondo Fiberglass Resin in my country or europe, so can you recommend something similar?

@@mcgruber3138 can you send a link?
Do the thigh pieces pinch the ever living fire out of your sensitive goin anatomy?
Nobody has ever asked that before but yes!
Ugh. Sand, prime repeat. Sand, prime repeat....until you die. :-)
Do you still use the bondo fiberglass resin? or is the 3d print resin the go to?
Would it be possible to do this with bondo spot putty?
im assuming it could, since all the resin does is fill in the ridge lines, but it would probably take at least twice as long
What kind of gloves would you suggest material wise?
Do you do any light sanding between resin coats?
It might be a good idea!
By any chance what did you use to put designs on clone armor?like a decal placement or just paint because I have no clue lol
Could you just have made the walls of the print thicker and just sanded the material without any resin?
If you used like 400 or 500 grit sandpaper for all of it would that work ok?
yeah but it would take forever. It would take month to do it with that high grit. Just get some lower grit at home depot their like 5 dollars a pack.
@@noahsteiner5052 cheers mate!
good luck
how many layers did you go with the mouse before the filler primer?
Are you from Arkansas?
what mask are you using?
Probably just a paint and dust respirator. You can buy them at the hardware store
I’ll just stick to primer
you should have kept the pattern
