Does anyone know where someone would be able to find parts of the Master Chief costume? I know that I can buy a set that has the helmet and chest piece, but does anyone know of where I can find something like the thigh guard or shoulder pads?

Yeah those ones are a little bit expensive for my purposes (the kid down the hall got one that I found as well, but it doesn't have armor on the thighs and the shoulder pads are stupid, and I need one that's better than his because he's a douche).

Lol...
Well I'm not sure... Have you gone to party stores? Or costume stores?

A few. Most of them just have the print screen jumpsuit things. I mean, it's probably being directed at kids that are like ten so I don't think it'll be that common to find molds of the costume in little outlet stores.

Then you're in a tough spot... Not sure where you can find a Master Chief Costume without wasting a lot of money...

Meh... the only things I really need are the bicep and thigh pieces, I can find most everything else. Of course those are probably the two things that aren't made. Oh well, maybe I'll find a way to form it out of cardboard.

Oh, and does anyone know of where to get like an airsoft gun or something that looks like, or I can relatively easily make look like, one of the guns in Halo?

Yeah everywhere I go you need to buy a set for like 100 dollars or so. I think I'll run down to a Toys R Us or something and see if I can find something similar that I can modify.

Thanks.

EDIT: Actually I've found some mod sites that I think I'll get some blueprints off of and see if I can get it all done from there. Thanks, esb. And Metal, I guess, although no one likes Ebay....

leik zomg lazR tage!!11!! Actually those look pretty badass. If they had more lights and a less plasticy look, which probably wouldn't be hard to do, they would be pretty awesome.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
