MioneRCP Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I've actual had an idea that 'might' give you some power back. the rubber stop in the foot is supposed to cushion the foot as you set down. If you put a small piston filled with fluid each time you put you foot down you releasing energy into the piston, which could be used to drive a small motor. I have no idea how heavy the final design will be but it might give back some of the energy you will lose just getting the suit to move. There are plenty of systems out there that can do it, I was looking for a video on YouTube about car suspension with built in energy recovery to charge the battery but couldn't find it (saw it years ago).

Sure they arent as eficiant as hydrolic systems, but were not building a forklift or aliens power loader here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23chaos23 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 http://i.imgur.com/peyAA7W.pngso thanks again to Silvist over at loverslab i was able to import an STL into inventor so i can start modeling everything to the scale I need. now for the long journey of creating all of the individual parts and then making them mechanicly viable. I will keep going for a few parts, record snipits of footage here and there and post regular montage videos as i go. And if i could ask you guys to please let my videos play all the way through, even if you get board (which i hope you dont). The more minutes watched i get on these vids the higher my my revenuiwe and the sooner i can get that 3D printer. I understand if you cant afford $1 a month to support my patreon page, the best you can help then is to share and watch my videos. I really apreciate the support, lets keep this tread active so more people see it and get involved. Thaks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThoranFlisk Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Cool project! I mean who would have ever thought a 3D printer could print-out Power Armor! I'll get my 3D printer to print 3D Graphics Cards! OMFG... IT WORKED!!!! Suport me on patreon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MioneRCP Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Have you specified when you regular upload on Youtube? I've been checking (nearly everyday) so far nothing new so I was wondering? Please give us some information soon, even if it does not go to full fabrication; as you intend. I'm enjoying seeing the model come to life in a feasible manner.

Boombro Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 This would be the most badass cosplay ever, the best one I have seen so far is that of the zombie with the eye on his right side from RE games. It was well done and the eye moved. But a real working power armor? Are you kidding me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
