Hey everyone! So now that @Do3D has officially released the NEW MK39 files it's time to get to work!
In this thread i will be sharing all of my Prints and progress for the MK39!
I am even making another Youtube series documenting the build!
Iron Man Mark 39 Starboost Video Series
I also have TONS of information about Iron Man Suit construction in my MK85 Series so if you're impatient give it a watch!
I also have a series of videos dedicated to:

Summary
Files received! And on the same day Monoprice delivered my new rolls of filament! The files look solid and amazing. And it's cool they have the textured and untextured version! Gives lots of printing options and choices! I decided i will print this suit just like my MK85 and print everything at 100% scale and then make myself fit inside of it. I want the proportions to be as accurate as possible with no "Bobble-Head" or "Koolaid Man" effects.
Update Photos 1
Helmet scaled down to 95% after comparing it in Slic3r to the MK85 DO3D Helmet which i know fits me like a glove. I sliced off the Jaw so i could stand the helmet up like a bowl with almost zero supports. The green tape is where i will weld it together again. I'm so glad they provided a Removable Faceplate. The HoneyComb pattern is just beautiful.
Arms done! These things are weird. They fit weird They look weird. It's going to be tricky attaching them. I still need to print the Inner Elbow part in Flexible Material or figure out another way to cover and connect everything.They're awesome though. The supports on the Shoulders gave me anxiety.
Abs and Hip Pods done! And my first print failure to boot! Sadly it was 100% my fault. I messed up during a filament swap. It happens. I know i can save it in multiple ways. But they all require Fusing or welding parts together. It was only 100G of filament and 7 hours in. No big deal. I'm going to melt it down and use it as a filler for joints so it's not a total waste. The abs will be tricky to clean up because of the support placement. It took me 3 hours to find the perfect orientation and support placement for them. Not fun.
What magnets does the plain helmet use
I am starting to get into 3d printing and I was wondering what a good printer is to print an ironman helmet
I think the parts are scaled for someone with Longer arms and legs as it seems to be a 6ft scaled armor so the arms and legs may be longer than they need to be I'm only 5'8 so I am still in the process of orienting and setting the parts up for printing on cura but while I do that I'm using crap filament to print out the gloves and shoes so I can get a good fit for them on me. The first palm I printed is so big at 100% its just in no way comfy and i can barely close my fist if at all and the fingers fit my hand but they're long as hell lol so they are getting plenty of prints till I find something that looks good and fits properly although I have a few things in mind that will hopefully work out. on a good note my printer is large enough I don't have to cut any parts of the model into pieces except maybe the back pack main piece but build time is long as hell... Ill be taking pics along the way and posting them on my Instagram maybe a few short clips here and there I'm not a youtuber kind of person so wont be seeing my ugly mug on vids/tutorials .
I am excited to see how Frankly Builts turns out as the one he currently has is awesome.
I see you use a couple different nozzle sizes, what parts do you tend to print with the .4 nozzle, and what typical pieces do you print with the .6 nozzle ?
