We’ve been preparing this for a while, and now it’s finally here!

Also, don’t forget to get the Mandalorian Dragonscale Helmets, to complete the armor, they are part of the 2024_SEPT releases: https://www.patreon.com/posts/112516090

Soon we will release an additional Shoulder Armor piece and a Leg Protector piece to this armor!

You can find all the important information and printing recommendations below (Also all these info included in the Mandalorian Dragonscale Armor folder, in the INFO.txt)

Print settings:

Each piece of the armor is conveniently cut into parts which fits on a medium size bed (250mmx250mmx250mm) 3d printer.

If you have a Bambu printer (or Orca slicer), you can load the 3mf project files with the recommended slicing settings. (If you’re used to other settings with your machine, feel free to adjust the settings), we recommend to keep the orientation of each object the way it’s being imported, the position minimizes the amounts of supports needed and keeps the layer lines not too visible.

Layer Height: 0.2mm

Infill: 10%

Infill pattern: Gyroid

Wall loops: 2 (if you want it stronger set it to 3)

Supports: Automatic Tree(organic) Supports, Threshold angle 30° TopZ Distance: 0.2, BottomZ Distance: 0.2 (like this the supports can be removed easily, if your print might move or fail towards the beginning, adjust the amount to something lower like 0.15, it might be harder to remove the supports afterwards, but it will hold better while printing)

Brim: we recommend to use 5-10mm width outer brim for each element, since they are thin, the brim helps with the bed adhesion.

TOTAL estimated print time (Full chest plate, back plate and torso plate) : 30-34h

Individual estimated print times: each part takes around 4-5h to print.

Assembly and size settings:

To put the pieces together, we recommend to use Gorilla Super Glue Liquid, or any type of glue suitable for PLA plastic.

You can use thin leather straps or ropes to connect the armor with the loop attachment on the pieces.

The 100% scale size fits on a person with the height of 5.6 Feet (170-173cm)
If you scale all elements to 106-107% then it fits a person with the height of 6 Feet (180-183cm)
If you scale all elements to 94-95% then it fits a person with the height of 5.25-5.3 Feet (160-163cm)

To achieve a nice metallic finish on the armor, follow these steps:

1. Sanding & Smoothing: Start by sanding the print to smooth out layer lines, working your way up to finer grits.: 3m Pro Grade Grit: 120, 3m Pro Grade Grit:220, 3M Wet or dry Sandpaper Grit: 600
 and/or Bates- Sandpaper, 18 Pack, 12 Grits, 120 to 3000

2. Priming: Apply Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Spray Paint White suitable for plastic to create an even base.

3. Metallic Paint: Use metallic spray paints or airbrush paints, such as chrome or silver.: Rust-Oleum Aged Metallic Weathered Steel, and Pébéo – Acrylic Fine Studio Acrylics – Silver
You can also use Rub ‘n Buff® Wax Metallic Finish for a textured look.

4. Weathering & Shading: Add depth with washes or dry brushing darker tones into the creases to create a realistic worn look.

5. Sealing: Finish with a clear coat to protect the paint.

Happy printing!
