Hi impact props

[@harrydrakee]

As the maker of the mark 6 file. It was a frickin surreal feeling watching you build it 😊

[@N8TEBB]

You're a freaking legend man! Thanks so much for making that! I think it's so cool that we're from opposite sides of the world (I'm in Canada) and I can make something that you modeled. The internet is such a great place.

Better than the Halo tv series armor. Just watched that ending photoshoot, and DAAANG! The proportions, the paint job, and the accuracy! If I could sum up my opinions on this video in one sentence, it would be "Spot ON!". Plus, props to the cameraman. They were excellent 👍

[@Xanados]

i always wanted to have a master chief armor, since i am 6"8. Now that i am 35 y/o i´ve just seen your video. I absolutely loved it and i have the greatest respect for your accomplishment. i love to see you build it with such a passion and continuity. You did absolutely well! Keep on going, young man and you will achieve so many great things to come! PS: i now definetely know that i dont want to build an armor by myself anymore :P

I also made a master Cheif suit during the summer. Mine was all 3-D printed so it’s really heavy and hard to move In but I think it turned out well. Your armor is also very impressive!

I would suggest less infill to make it lighter. You can change the setting in cura, If you ever plan on remaking it. I hope this helps.

i have a fairly similar story, in early june of 2020, my brother bought halo combat evolved on the 360 (not anniversary), and i fell in love with it, and late at night on july 31st, i started making the Mark V helmet, and by october 30th 2020, i had created the entire armor.

Genuinely, great video dude. Love the MkVI as seen in Halo 3, probably my favorite sci-fi armor design.

[@CostiganCreations]

Awesome build!!! Great job capturing it all on video! Impact props inspired me to build my Halo costumes too. Your journey sounds a lot similar to mine. But I’m a bit older and grew up with Halo. Just never thought of building a costume until I came across Impact Props early builds. And it took me 3 years to complete my first suit. Pretty spectacular you knocked your first suit on in less then 3 months. Congrats and great job you’ve made a subscriber out me!!

[@N8TEBB]

That's really cool! There seems to be a lot of people getting into this sort of thing from Impact Props lol. The only reason I could make this in 3 months was because of the pandemic. You'd be surprised what you can do when you have absolutely nothing to do for 2 and a half months. So glad you liked the video!

just start. you don't NEED a 3d printer, you can make stuff out of foam. You won't be amazing right away, but with a bit of practice you'll get there! Just need foam, a knife, and glue. I hope one day you do it :)

[@notvictor3602]

Hey dude I have been really interested in cosplaying as a spartan one day and found you also question would you make the new armor for master chief?

[@N8TEBB]

If I ever found myself in need of a new master chief suit, I would absolutely build the one from infinite. From what I can tell it has a little more geometry than halo 3, but it's certainly less that the 4/5 suits. It's defiantly doable. There's an interesting thread on the 405th here: www.405th.com/forums/threads/halo-infinite-gen-iii-mark-vi-build.50955/ Although I wouldn't start work on a suit for a game that hasn't come out yet.

Dude this is unbelievable amazing! I’m want to make a halo gungnir costume but I just don’t know how. I got so Eva foam and a tiny 3d printer, do you got any tips? Again amazing costume!

[@N8TEBB]

Thanks for saying so dude! Sorry for replying so late. If you're looking to create a halo costume my best advice would be to make a 405th account and get to know the community. You can always get feedback and post progress on the forums and their discord and they can be a really big help. I would for sure try to find somebody on there who has built or is currently building a similar costume so you have a good build reference. Hope your build goes well!

The link for the templates contains JPG files. How do I turn them into PDO for Pepakura?

[@umm.._okay]

Might just be the lighting though

[@zixoplays]

As someone who's completely new to this how would I go about resizing the pieces so that they fit my dimensions? Lovely video by the way helps visualise the task at hand perfectly!

[@N8TEBB]

Sizing is certainly one of the hardest things to get right! I try to imagine how much space the piece should take up on my arm if it was a rectangular prism. I'll measure how big its dimensions are and then scale the template in pepekura to match. I'll print it and cut out the template and hold it up to where its supposed to go to try to see if it's too big or too small. I'll adjusts if necessary but if not I'll start working on the foam. The nice part about foam is it's easy to change around if you're not happy with the proportions. You can stretch pieces/ cut pieces out etc if necessary. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any q's!

[@davidmummaw]

Bro this is sick! Do you remember what color dye you used? I wanna make one now

[@N8TEBB]

I used Orange for the visor. Not seep orange, not pumpkin orange, just orange. www.joann.com/jacquard-idye-natural-fabric-dye/1687136.html Also make sure it's idye poly not just idye. The colour varies depending on the thickness of the plastic and the temperature of the water, so just leave the visor in until it has the colour you're looking for. Thank you for the support!

[@JoshKaisinger9022]

Dude, that is so freaking awesome, where did you get the stuff for making the visor? I'm planning on making Suit of Snake Eyes' Armor from Gi Joe Retaliation

[@N8TEBB]

PETG plastic can be bought from ebay. I got 0.03" thickness. The dye (iDye Poly) can be found at Jo Anne's craft store (Unfortunately only in the US stores) or on ebay but for more money and shipping. The spray chrome I found on amazon. The vacuum form box is easy enough to make yourself out of plywood an peg board. Just have to cut a whole in the bottom for a shop vac (or a regular vacuum works too).

Hey o, I LOVED IT, im trying to make this aswell but i need your suggestion, which 3d printer would be good enough to print out the Halo 3 master chief helmet

[@N8TEBB]

literally any printer. I use a CR-10 because it has a large build surface. However, for this helmet, I didn't take advantage of that because I printed the helmet in smaller pieces. You could easily make it on an ender 3, which is smaller but easier on the wallet. Of course there are more printer brands other than creality, such as prusa, and ive heard people have had plenty of success with those printers as well. Though if you have never used a printer before, I would recommend doing lots of practice prints before jumping straight into a full helmet.

[@ThatWotwFan]

@@ThatWotwFan Unfortunately I am not selling anything, but if you are interested in making halo helmets lots of people are selling casts of helmets that you can paint yourself! Going price is $100-150, but if you ask me it's worth spending 10 more bucks and buying an ender 3 for $160.

[@KillingIsBadong]

So I'm very interested in the support you used for the final visor; I assume it was just the visor's supports from the printing? What infill did you use for this to ensure it didn't collapse? I have seen others use a solid 'buck' but I don't think one exists for this specific helmet model. I definitely appreciate any guidance, your build is excellent!

[@N8TEBB]

Thank you for leaving such a nice comment! To print the visor with support I just adjusted the setting in cura to print support if there was even the slightest overhang. I think I did 15% infill on the support.

[@KillingIsBadong]

@@N8TEBB I also see in the video that you printed the visor by itself as well as the buck, did you just lay the separate visor on top of the 'sacrificial' visor that's attached to the buck? I printed mine in much the same way, but the visor that was used to make the buck is attached too well to the supports and isn't removable. I'm a little concerned that the separate visor laid on top of another will be bigger than I want for the final vacuum formed one, but I can't quite tell if that's what you did on yours. Some shots it looks like the visor that was used for the buck was able to be removed, giving you a nice recess for the finished, sanded visor piece.

[@N8TEBB]

@@KillingIsBadong What I did was print a visor laying on its back so I could get all of the support material. I printed it quick and with a large layer height. Then I tossed that visor, but kept the support. I then printed a new visor on its side to the layer lines were perpendicular to the face of the visor. This was printed slower and with a smaller layer height, and was the visor that I used as the buck. I simply placed the new visor on top of the old support material.
