Captain America Shield
**UPDATE V005** * Uploaded the template for the wrapping foil as a DXF. Any place that does vehicle marking should be able to work with this to plot the foil for you. Make sure they understand you want a ring and the star, or you might get a negative (I sent the green picture along to make it clear - the DXF only contains lines, so it's hard to tell). * Added mounting holes: I used two old leather belts to make the arm holder, and wished I had added mounting holes for this, so I did. The holes are 3mm and should work with a 4mm flathead wood screw. Use some washers to have better support against the leather. * You need to print these parts: Center x1, "smooth" x6, "mountingholes" x2. See the rear view picture for assembly reference. You can use whatever mounting holes fit your arm length. You can of course simply print 8x "mountingholes" but it will take longer (more contours). * Added some position markers to help assembly when you're looking at the inside, so the mounting holes will line up. **UPDATE V004** I finally got around to assembling my own printed version, and I learned a lot... again. V004 reflects these learnings. * Top surface required a lot of sanding and filling, because the relatively flat curve means the layering becomes really bad at 0.2mm height settings. Therefore, printing the segments oriented vertically is now my recommended method for printing. Since the flat bottom surface isn't required for that, I removed it, and the inside of the shield is now also curved (center piece is still flat for easy printing). * Interlocks from segment to center removed, as it proved next to impossible to assemble and the orientation of the center relative to the segments does not really matter * Interlocks between segments: went from 4 to 3, gave them a bit more wiggle room (fit was too tight), also some chamfers for easier assembly * 15° angle between segments and center piece, allowing you to assemble the outer segments first an
