Abyss Watcher - All Armor Pieces

I created this Project in when i overhauled my handmade Armor into a 3D Printed Version.
All Models are created in CAD and some have added battel damage by sculpting in blender. 

This Project includes:

• Helmet
• Pauldron
• Bracer
• Gauntlet
• Kneepads
• Flask 
• Accessories 
  • Knives, small pieces, chest-crest
• Overview of the features and how to use those Armor pieces

This Project does not include:

• Instructions how to create the cloth pieces. However i will show some pictures so you get an idea how it can be done.
• The Weapons - unfortunately that data is lost, i might recreate them if demand is high

If you are ready to tackle this Project please carefully read the Information in the following paragraphs.
If you still have question i will try to answer all comments.

Sizing Information:

I am 1,90 cm and rather slim. (~80kg)  Depending on your body you might need to scale some Parts.
If you want to print this i suggest you test the size with 1 wall testprints or single sections of parts before committing to the real Parts.

General Assembly Information:

You will need to glue many parts together. The Parts have holes for Indexing them for easier alignment.

I had used 2x20 mm steel pins to index the parts. You can propably use pieces of Filament to do that.
Also you will need to do priming and sanding before you can paint them to to hide layer lines.

Some Parts had to be cut more than was intended in the original files because of the height limit of the bambulab A1 i sliced this for.
If you have a bigger machien than 10 inch ^3 you can find the whole parts in the 3d Data section of this Project.
This relates to a piece of the helmet and the cauldron

Disclaimer:

While all of those files were printed before, the current profiles have not all been testprinted again since i had to create new profiles.

Info about the Armor:

Helmet

The Helmet sits on a smaller headpiece. This headpiece needs to be padded. You can also attach the fake hair to it.
My head is very large so i expect most people should be able to just add more padding and don´t need to rescale anything.

Materials:

• padding 
• white fake hair
• black hotglue to add the black strands on the helmet

Pauldron

To make sure the Pauldron sits in the proper position you will be printing a sub-structure.
The sub structure sits on your shoulder and you need to connect the leather belts to it.

The bottom of the sub Structure should be padded with some foam.
A connection block is glued to the sub structure. This block will interface with the actual Pauldron.

I think this is a concept many armors could benefit from because now your Pauldron will actually sit in a nice position.

Materials:

• Large Ring (wood from craft store, but can be printed of course)
• Several Belts
• Press Rivets
• Foam Padding
• optional: carabiner style loop for easier connection

I tried to reconstruct my belt design as well as possible, I think it was like this:

Front Side belts

Backside Belt:

Locking the Pauldron:

I have connected it with a dovetail joint. You slide the Pauldron onto it from the side.
Then you just add some Pieces of Filament to prevent it from sliding back.

The bottom connection piece (green) needs to be glued and you can use this to slightly change the position as needed.

If The Pauldron is finished and you don´t need to access every side anymore you can of course glue it as well.

The additional Armor needs to be connected with some rivets or screws and safety-nuts.
Hang it with two straps from the big Pauldron. Those need to be glued.
I also recommend adding a velcro strap to fix the lower piece to your biceps.

Bracer:

The Bracer halfes are connected with 2 pieces of Filament that you need to push through the channels from the back.
The first picture shows the channel marked in red.

The second picture shows the sculpted battle damaged version that is included in the printing profile

I also suggest you add some padding.

Please check the dimensions before printing the whole thing, i have thin forearms.
 

Gloves:
 

You will need some thin leather gloves that you can use to connect the Armor pieces with, 

You can use rivets to do that.

The bigger plates also need to be connected to each other with screws and safety nuts or rivets.

At the last Plate (left side) add a velcro strip to attach it to your wrist.
 

Kneepads

There is two different versions of damaged kneepads.
The difference is just visual, there is no left and right version.
You will need to glue two velcro straps to the back of each kneepad.

Also you should add some padding.

If you want to print them as a single piece with support then you can download the no-split file and slice it yourself.
The provided profile uses the split kneepads.

Accessories

Those include the throwing knives for the pauldron as well as the crest that is attached to it.
The belt ontop of the pauldron is just cosmetic and not actually attached to anything. It ends below the crest and is wrapped around the corner on the backside.

Estus Flask

I had designed the Flask to actually contain a 600 ml stainless steel bottle so i have some water on the conventions.

I could not find the original listing anymore but the follow up product seem to be the:

“ECOtanka Europe GmbH 0.6l miniTANKA™ stainless steel drinking bottle with stainless steel bamboo cap”
It has 72 mm outer diamter and can be hidden inside the estus print.
I added two small and cheap deco-led wires. The batteries were hidden in the bottom of the print.

It might be hard to recreate this including the real bottle but i uploaded the full step files as inspiration.

Also you can print it and use without the bottle
 

Material:

• Deco Leds
• 600 ml miniTANKA bottle (72 mm diamter)

• magnets to hold the bottom cover

   

   

   

Cloth Pieces

Most pieces were made of fake leather, this makes it very hot when you wear it.
Here are some closeups if you want to recreate it.

The cape is a big thick red piece of cloth, cut irregular at the bottom. 
Painted darker with some cloth-spray paint and then added the black lines with black hotglue directly on the fabric.

The right hand is thin fabric glove. On top i wrap some fake leather straps and secure it with velcro.
