3D Printed Robocop Suit 1987 Build- COMPLETE

-----------------------------------

Hello everyone, as the title states this is a 3d print build of the classic Robocop suit.  I've primarily been into building Ghostbusters props over on GBFans.com throughout the years. 
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4218/35677192216_8a5088d41c_c.jpghttps://farm5.staticflickr.com/4232/35329845580_22a05ba33e_c.jpghttps://farm5.staticflickr.com/4208/35585695771_607d58493e_b.jpghttps://farm5.staticflickr.com/4006/35329499820_a6468b9215_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/VPWVrf]IMG_5332 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/156326015@N04/]pchrisbosh1, on Flickr
This is was just a test piece to see the quality of the files. So far so good, I think it came out great. I'll be doing the rest of the suit in PLA because it's far less finnicky and easier to print with. This is probably going to be a long project but I'll try to update regularly on my progress.

QIDI 3D Printer it's a Makerbot clone but it's a pretty good printer and runs smooth.

So far so good. I like seeing Robofans think outside the box and find creative solutions to getting a suit. A couple years ago there were very few options but not that technology has evolved so much you can literally print out a Robo suit, which I find to be pretty awesome. Looking forward to seeing the finished product, good luck getting there.

I don't want to be a "party-pooper" on this project... but just an opinion on getting 3D files online; not the best ACCURATE source to make this project.  They are taking the files based from the PEPAKURA fiels, which are WAAAAY off from accurate.

My opinion is to actually 3D SCAN of an actual suit (by piece), and go from there.  I believe that by doing that, it will fix the Hansing suit, and be able to fix EASILY the mistakes made before, including concentrating on the details even better than sculpting and / or reshaping them.

Just my 2 cents.

  That would be a great idea if those actual resources were available, but unfortunately they are not.  All that is available at this point in all actuality is pretty much.....nothing.  This project is just a fun personal project and is something I won't even be making molds of.  I owned a Hansing suit and that was also very far from accurate but when fixed up a little and with a nice paint job even with the shoddy details it still somewhat looked like a Robocop suit.  So although this 3d model is far from perfect in which I agree it really is the only alternative for the moment and will look far better then a Hansing suit when finished.

  Here is picture of a printed foot before clean up.  This is another test piece printed with cheap filament.  I'll be reprinting with better quality filament when it comes in.  I think is came out pretty good, the details are crisp.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Here is the foot re-worked a tid bit.  I was really testing the waters with this piece, just trying to figure out what method I'm going to use to get the parts somewhat smooth and how well I could work with the PLA to fix slight inaccuracies.  I wasn't going for perfection since I'm going to reprint it but with the amount of work I put into the piece, it still came out pretty good.

 Hello my method so far is primer filler, put some bondo glazing spot putty on rough spots, sand with 220, smooth with 320, then repeat and repeat until your desired finish.  Then paint with your desired colors and then top with an automotive clear coat.  I also use a sculpting epoxy putty to fill in large gaps or holes when need be.  Hope that helps.  Wish you best on your iron man suit.

Here is the chest completely overhauled with added details that were missing, looks a lot closer to the original now.  Unless your a hardcore Robo fan you probably won't notice much of the details reworked and added, but so far this is probably all I'm going to do to the chest. Time to move on to other parts.  I left the two vents open on the upper and lower chest for speakers so I can add sounds to the suit when finished.

Thanks everyone, here is the whole left leg printed and glued together.  The pieces of course still need to be finished, and there is some extra details I want to add to them but overall a great base to work with.  I'm starting to print the right leg as we speak and the printer is pretty much going 24/7 at this point.  Hoping to have everything printed in a couple weeks so I could start the overhaul/clean up process.

Flex PLA for the gloves was a no-go, it was flexible but not enough to make it wearable.  I'm going to just print the glove in PLA and make it work similar to how an iron man glove works.  I might make a mold later and cast in latex but that's in the maybe category at this point.  More progress to come soon.

Have you considered Ninjaflex? I have a pair of gloves getting printed in that material.

3D printed hockey gloves: 

I was considering ninjaflex but it's not entirely user friendly with personal 3d printers and the print quality isn't that good compared to your standard PLA or ABS that's why I opted out for tryng Flex PLA.  Also Ninjaflex is really expensive and considering it's expensive and the print quality would be low since the rubber doesn't pick up the fine details as good as PLA, I decided not to use it or try it.  Also the filament is far to glossy for my taste.  It might print better with the commercial printers the large companies are using but again that would be too expensive.  

  I'm really trying to make this as budget friendly as possible but still make the suit look great in the end.

I was considering ninjaflex but it's not entirely user friendly with personal 3d printers and the print quality isn't that good compared to your standard PLA or ABS that's why I opted out for tryng Flex PLA.  Also Ninjaflex is really expensive and considering it's expensive and the print quality would be low since the rubber doesn't pick up the fine details as good as PLA, I decided not to use it or try it.  Also the filament is far to glossy for my taste.  It might print better with the commercial printers the large companies are using but again that would be too expensive.  

  I'm really trying to make this as budget friendly as possible but still make the suit look great in the end.

Gotcha! Yeah mine are being done by a 3D print company with commercial printers. I'll post a thread when they arrive to see how they compare. Good luck with yours!

Here's a video demo of how the suit is going to run in the suit. The start up sound at the beginning of the video will also be the start up sound effect of the suit when turned on and the hum will also play in the background while the other sound effects play when walking/turning (Conveying how it was in the film). This is pretty much exactly how it will sound when everything is wire up correctly in the suit except it will be much louder, I'll probably also add a couple more sound fx later like the over the top door opening sounds in the first film etc.... Hope you guys enjoy.

I have no idea but probably a lot, haven't really kept track.  Since I've started this thread I've almost been printing non-stop with the exception of a couple weeks of down time because of technical errors and having to order new filament.  Each piece takes anywhere from 4-13 hours to print.

Here is an update, pretty much done printing the majority of the suit.  All that you see has already been glued together, but I'm still going to fiberglass the main armor pieces for extra strength/support.  Now the real hard work is going to start which is cleaning up, modifying, and making this suit wearable.  Suit looks amazing when laid out all together, I think when actually finished it's going to look pretty epic. Here are some pics,

Looks amazing! And I´m curious about how the gloves will turn. One of the minor flaws of the original suit is watching how soft (specially since TVs improved) the original hands could look under some lights. So, while I´m not sure how comfortable these will be, they´d look more metallic.

Yeah I know exactly what your saying.  Although having them be plastic when finished won't be entirely screen accurate I still think it will look pretty cool.  This is pretty much how I'll be doing the gloves,  http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=244237   See last post in that thread.

  I have no idea, but I could tell you I've been printing almost non-stop for 7 months.  There has been a few weeks of setbacks within the timeframe of starting this thread but it still feels like I've been printing non-stop.

Thank you again guys for your support. I went ahead and decided to tackle the left arm. I figured I would take on the hardest part first. This I believed was going to be the hardest part of the suit to modify and straighten out to look a lot more like what you see on screen and I was definitely right. This was a really hard piece to work on, it was missing tons of detail compared to the other parts of the suit. Pretty much all the lines, vents, etc... were just not there. The model had holes in it, jagged lines, bad geometry etc... So I basically de-mantled the whole entire piece once printed and used it as a base to add in all the detail i desired. All the pieces that were removed were built from scratch using styrene.

It's still not completely finished, i still need to add in the screw detail, a couple other details, and give it another sanding or two but for the most part I think it looks pretty awesome. Enjoy,.....

More to come. I'm doing all the heavy modifications first on every piece of armor, then I'll be fiberglassing everything. After fiberglassing I'll go ahead and do all the major body work, make it wearable and then paint.

Thank you.  Here is another update.

Here's the progress of the modifications on the left leg.  It needed quite a bit of work.  I felt the legs were going to be the next hardest piece to modify so I went ahead and went to work on the left leg.  The model was missing quite a bit of details and had a funny big lip on the end of the leg near the knee.  I went ahead and removed the lip and rebuilt it to more closely match the screen used leg.    

 It still needs quite a bit of smoothing and body work but the major modifications are done at this point.  It also still needs the screw detail added in but I'll probably do all the screw detail last on all the pieces once everything is done.

I went ahead and relinked all the original build photos.  Here are some of the recent updates.  Quite a few so bear with me....
I know you guys are probably sick of seeing the chest piece by now but I felt compelled to modify one of the details even when I told myself I wasn't going to touch the chest anymore. The chest to me is one of the most important pieces of the suit so I really want it to look as close as possible to the real thing. 

The valve detail on the lower left on the original file was way too small for my taste so I went ahead and cut it out and rebuilt the whole detail with styrene from scratch. Looks much more screen accurate now.

I pretty much had to scrap Do3d's upper back piece and build my own from scratch using styrene. Reason being is because the original abdomen section is way to small. I'm right around 6ft 185lbs 33 inch waist and it had to be upscaled quite a bit to fit moderately well, I figured this out after printing everything the first time and had to reprint.. After upscaling the back piece, the upper part of it bows out/sticks out too much in the back and won't fit within the chest and back piece armor. I didn't mind building it because now it's more accurate :-). Thought I would share a few photos of the build process and is pretty much what I've been doing with the smaller details I've added or rebuilt. Enjoy.

Still have to do body work and smooth everything out but I'm happy the major work is done,

I also wanted to show how butchered the arm gets before adding in new details to help those who might consider doing these particular modifications. You can kind of see the process on how everything comes together, you might have to fill in a couple small blanks. Extremely tedious and time consuming but well worth the work. Enjoy.

Of course it still needs body work but all the major modifications are complete. Most of the missing details were built again with styrene and a couple 3d printed details for the knobs. Here it is first butchered.

I played around with the gloves today to see how they are going to fit. Overall a pretty good fit. I still have to get some elastic, velcro, and various other things to get them completely attached and functioning properly. Here are a couple pics of everything hanging loosely and unattached. 

I'm thinking of selling 3D prints of the gloves in kit form in the future to those who might want to add a Robocop glove to their collection.

Pretty much finished both legs. These were a lot of work, hours and hours of body work. Sanding, filling, sanding, filling etc...... These pieces also both had lots of major modifications done to them. Here they are in their glory,

I use needle files to do all my line work and clean up. Without needle files I can honestly say I probably wouldn't be able to do this project. They have been such a huge help make everything look nice and crisp.

Got around to doing the helmet. Usually in suit builds I've noticed the helmet is usually the first thing done so I guess I'm working a little backwards. I figured it was time to roll around and get this done to my liking. Here it is with some progress. I don't have it completely wearable yet so It's kind of loosely fitted on me but it will be pretty easy to sort out and get it working.

Had to do some modifications to the helmet and back panel to get it more accurate.

I asked him this same question. After looking around I decided to get the same printer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D8M32LU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's an excellent printer. I have had much success so far with it and will be taking on a Robosuit soon myself. The price has come down on it quite a bit since I purchased one too! I recommend replacing the nozzles right away with better ones. Also, get one of [url=https://www.amazon.com/ToyBuilder-Labs-Print-Removal-Tool/dp/B00VB1U886/ref=pd_bxgy_328_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00VB1U886&pd_rd_r=7K92DE0RTX9BEPD5MWX0&pd_rd_w=Vlr0E&pd_rd_wg=aee9d&psc=1&refRID=7K92DE0RTX9BEPD5MWX0]these. It will take some time to figure out if you're new to 3d printing as there is quite a learning curve. Fortunately there is plenty of support for this particular printer. Depending on the type of slicing software you end up using (I use Simplify 3d - the BEST IMO - well worth the price) and the type of filament, you will need to tweak the settings until you get it printing just right. Once you do though...oh MAN. I learned how to create 3d models too so now I can make anything that pops into my brain! Its been an amazing experience for me.

The printer I'm using is a Qidi 3D printer and it's an absolute workhorse.  I have over 3000 hours on it and it has printed the whole entire Robocop suit.  I've had a few troubles with it but it wasn't anything I couldn't easily fix and replace myself.  The replacement parts are also extremely cheap.  It doesn't have a super large print bed but is good enough size to print some nice pieces.  No matter what the bed size you'll have to cut the suit up into multiple pieces to get it to print with decent quality.

I would also highly recommend the Creality CR-10 3D printer which is a great price and a great quality printer with probbaly one of the largest bed volumes on the market right now for the price.  I also purchased one of those and have heard nothing but great things about it.

  I know you've done great work in the past Milbo so you shouldn't have too much trouble doing a lot of the detail modifications that are missing and smoothing everything out.  But I must warn you....Expect tons and tons and excuse me tons of work :-)

Hope that helps.

I went back to the chest and reworked the vent on the right upper side of the chest. The original vent wasn't engraved properly and the vents were too skinny compared to the original. Went ahead and redid by hand and engraved it properly to look like the original piece. The vents are eventually going to be cut out and house a speaker behind them for the sound. 

This is how it looked originally, just not right

What have you been using to fill the holes and what process did you decide to go with to fill the striations?


    I usually use a product called Magic Sculpt that's you can get on Ebay.  It's a two part epoxy sculpting putty that works amazing for filling holes and dries rock hard, it also sands super smooth.  I also use it to fix bad details and to resculpt certain areas.  It's a sculpting putty because it takes hours to cure, you can use water to smooth out and gives you some pretty good work time.

  A similar product would be Aves Apoxie Sculpt which I believe is nearly the same product.  To fill the striations which I'm assuming you mean print lines.  Is I use Duplicolor filler primer, bondo glazing spot putty (the red stuff) and sand, sand, and sand.  Rinse and repeat until your desired smoothness.  I also use the Magic Sculpt for really rough spots that the above process doesn't work so well on.

  The original Robocop suit was rough looking and not super smooth so you have some leeway on the body work process. Hope that helps!

Almost done. All the major modifications are finally finished! Next step is to fiberglass the armor and finish the body work and smooth everything a bit more. After that I'll make it wearable with buckles, straps, brackets etc.... Then paint. 

Here's a sneak preview, this is just a loose fitting on clothes and pillows :-).

This is the first test fit after making it as wearable as possible. Still need to make some adjustments, add some padding and make some additional straps to raise the abs up a little higher. Overall it's looking pretty amazing.

Thank you guys.

   I've been looking at a lot of Hansing suits that you guys have made wearable.  I've noticed on just about every suit that I've seen pictures of that is being worn the inner thigh section is being cut out or this is something Bruce might have done to his casts.  I was wondering why this portion was cut out and if it helps with the mobility?

  On my suit I noticed the ledge thats on the inner thighs is rubbing and pushing the cod/diaper section out quite a bit and it's making my mobility not good.  I'm thinking I might also have to cut that section out but wanted to see if not having the ledge is helping you guys walk in this suit?

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks guys.

On my Hansing leg, it is not an angle cit but it was knotched out about 1 inch and then goes around inner thigh. No problems w od piece but I now wrar Gez's midsection 1 piece.
My suit is comfortable to wear for hours.

Thank you guys once again for all the support.  Here is a fully finished 3D printed helmet. I tried to go as Robocop 1 as possible for the paint scheme,  I liked the darker gritty lighting of the suit in that film and tried to get what I liked. This is pretty much how the whole suit is going to be painted.

  Thanks Keith.  I put it on once but I was really scared to mess up the paint.  I don't know how you guys wear these suits without doing damage to the paint and suit.  It must be inevitable with so many large pieces.  It came out so smooth I'm scared to touch it :-).  I'm hoping I find an easier way to wear it.

After two long years and countless hours of work this project is finally complete. After all the hard work I've strongly decided not to wear it as I fear it will ruin the paint job and possibly damage the integrity of the pieces. I used myself as a mannequin for the pictures but I will definitely be displaying this on a proper mannequin in the future and will take more pics then. These pictures are to give you guys a general idea of the level of detail in the suit.

I want to thank first my beautiful wife for being patient with me through this project and being a huge help throughout the whole process, I absolutely could not have done it without her. I also want to thank everyone on here who has supported the projected for the last two years. I also thank DO3D for making these files and giving me a base to work with to make this all possible. Thanks again everyone and enjoy. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you.......Robocop

Fantastic, very crisp and clean work! Well done and props to you sir. 

Part of me is like 'WTF WHY NOT??!!1?' about not wearing it, but I do agree about wanting to keep it as pristine as possible. That and actually wearing the damn thing is by all accounts a real pain in the ass so I get that. In that regard kind glad I'm a bit short and way too fat to do it, I too would make a display only piece out of it as well if I actually had one.

Now as for sweating the details.. something I don't do much but as a fan kinda have to. ;) In this case it's easy since indeed the details are really fucking fantastic.

Only thing I can note - Is it just me or do the upper arms seem a bit.. stubby? Though honestly I think that might just be some angles in your pictures more than anything else. 

Also looks a bit funny without the leg pistons, just sayin'. :b

And I guess thats it, heh. Again, excellent job!  :)

Thank you for the comment and feedback much appreciated. The camera does fisheye quite a bit on the camera we used to take pictures so the arms do look a little bulkier then they are in certain angles. I think they are a tad larger then the screen pieces but not by much.  I wanted to fully attach the piston but was afraid of damaging the feet if they snagged the wrong way from walking.  Thank you again glad you liked it.

I just wanted to share these gloves that my buddy Keith Milbo made for me.  They are urethane casts and are made for flexible movement.  I'll probably be making my suit more wearable in the future and think these will be a great addition.  Keith did a great job.
