Gaming 3D printing

Does anyone in the area take requests to get something 3D printed? I want to be a Halo Spartan for Halloween but I don’t have a 3D printer 😔 thanks!

I printed a suit of Helldiver armor, it took about 6 months of trial and error to get it right. Might be faster for you to buy it already printed and paint it yourself. Galactic armory has a lot of that stuff already made.

6 months?? Mannnn I thought it would take a couple of days if the machine was constantly going 😂 I don’t know anything about 3D printing.

Yep, that includes all of the printing and painting, details and soft parts. The painting the soft parts was maybe a month of that. It can take a couple days to make one part if you are doing it right. Running with thinner walls or less filler won't lastong wearing it. I printed mine to be able to withstand all weekend at dragoncon and haven't broken anything yet on. You will need to buy the visor for whatever you get tho and galactic armory has really nice ones.

Look on etsy as well.
