The suit itself was based on files directly ripped from the game, using the Bethesda Archive Extractor, with Blender software being used for smoothing and adding some details that were absent from the extracted models. All in all, hirocreations had a 3D printer running for 140 consecutive days, during which printer belts needed to be replaced twice. Late in the process, two Power Spec Ultra also saw action. It was also a trying time for his Monoprice Maker 3D printer, which was used for 80 percent of the build. (the rest going into support material, skirts, and print failures).

As hirocreations revealed, he had to use over 120 pounds of IC3D PLA filament to build this suit, with the final armor weighing about 85-90 lbs. Back in the summer, one fan even built a 3D printed Nuka-Cola vending machine, but this entire T-60 suit definitely takes the cake.īut then few people would dare to accept a 3D printing project of this size.

The game series itself is also hugely popular in the 3D printing community, and over the years we’ve seen 3D printed Pip-Boy wrist computers, 3D printed Fallout weaponry, and even a 3D printed Furious Power Fist. The power armor itself, of course, is an absolutely iconic suit from the Fallout game franchise, and has safely carried thousands of players through the wastelands of Fallout 4. Easily one of the most impressive 3D printed suits we’ve ever seen. Just look at this fantastic T-60 power armor, which Redditor hirocreations built over a 140-day continuous 3D printing marathon.

While we’d be tempted to cut corners left and right, some makers absolutely love these kinds of gargantuan projects and completely throw themselves on the details. Even this relatively modest 3D printed Iron Man costume was the result of about 14 months of work. That is, until you learn exactly how much time they take to build. Is there anything cooler than 3D printed armor? To us, 3D printed Iron Man or Batman suits easily win any Con we visit, and those creations inspire us to fire up new 3D printing projects immediately.
