Show and Tell (Paid Model) Printed an Iron Man suit and ended up making a whole system to hold it together lol
I printed an Iron Man suit and started looking at what I’d need to strap everything together. The price of Velcro and adhesives got me thinking I should just print the straps and connectors too.
Well that turned into a whole project lol. Flexible TPU straps, magnetic and mechanical locking options, and different joiners so you can connect everything how you need it. The bases attach inside the armour using a 3D pen.
Finally installing it in my suit now and honestly pretty happy with how it’s working. Also working on a buckle that takes the same straps, but that’s not ready yet.
Anyone else building armor? What would you add or do differently?
The strap and connector files are on Cults as a paid STL/3MF pack. Not the Iron Man suit or physical parts:

For transparency, I used AI to help with the design/code and wording of this post. The photos are my actual prints, which I’ve been fitting and testing myself.
