Deliverables

You will receive a 7-Zip (https://www.7-zip.org/download.html) archive with six files:

  1. An edit-protected PDF with full sized templates ending in "Full Size."
  2. An edit-protected PDF with the full sized templates "posterized" for Letter size paper ending in "Letter Size."
  3. An edit-protected PDF with the full sized templates "posterized" for A4 size paper ending in "A4 Size."
  4. A PDF guide that contains information needed to construct the piece (instructions, recommended foam thicknesses, etc.) ending in "Guide."
  5. A PDF with basic dimensions to facilitate scaling the piece to your desired proportions.
  6. A non-manifold, simplified STL file to be used in conjunction with Armorsmith (or similar software) to permit scaling of the piece to the configured avatar ending in "Scaling Model."

The "posterized" files, 2 and 3 above, are optional and are included for convenience to permit direct printing at 100% scale.

Scaling

Templates are scaled to a 6 foot (183 cm) tall person of average build. Scaling beyond +/- 10% is likely to result in complications. I am glad to provide what support I can in situations where scaling beyond this amount is needed. The table below can be used to give you a very rough estimate of where you should start with your scaling.

This table should be used in conjunction with the drawing containing dimensions to arrive at the final scaling factor. Scaling your armor is extremely important. It is recommended that you print paper templates around "critical dimensions," tape them together and check the fit to ensure the piece is at the desired size. It is strongly recommended that you ensure your piece is at the desired proportions before you start cutting foam.

Check out my YouTube video on how to tile and scale the full-sized drawings in Adobe Reader for printing.
