I'm so sorry guys! I had to edit my profile because one of my forearm parts was uploaded in two parts!

Hey friends,
I’ve got Iron Man ready for you!
If you’ve printed and assembled Proto 9 even once, this one should be easy to build.
If you haven’t tried Proto 9 yet, I recommend giving it a go first—it’ll help a lot.
This time, I didn’t create a separate assembly manual.
Please refer to the YouTube video for guidance.
Also, I tested printing the frame and armor using silk PLA, but it broke way too easily—probably because of the additives.
So I don’t recommend using silk PLA for this model.
If you print using regular PLA, you might notice the joints get loose over time.
I uploaded a video showing how I fix that using nail polish—it worked really well for me!
My video has subtitles, so feel free to check out other videos too if you prefer.
PLA is still affordable and works great overall.
The profile includes several plates, so please read the guide below:
• RED_PARTS_FOR_ARMOR
Red armor pieces-print with any material or color you like.
• YELLOW_PARTS_FOR_BONE_AND_ARMOR
Yellow armor and bone pieces-use this if you want both printed in the same material and color.
• WHITE_PARTS
Eyes and arc reactor-print in any color you prefer.
• ARMOR_PARTS & BONE_PARTS
Use these if you want to print the yellow armor and bone pieces in different colors or materials.
Also, I used Bambu Studio’s default layout this time—just a heads-up.
If you’ve printed Proto 9 before, this one should be easy to handle.
Please try printing Proto 9 first before jumping into this one!
I hope you enjoy the model and have a great time building it!
If you’d like to sell my model commercially, you can do so by joining my membership.
I get questions about this from time to time—but so far, no one’s actually signed up 😅
