Wearable Greaves and Sabatons (16th Century Knight Armor for Legs and Feet)

An easy to assemble, wearable and fully functional knight's armor design. This 3D printing file kit accurately matches 16th century thigh and knee armor from museums. It is fully articulated to allow for a total range of motion, including bending the knees and running. It's also very comfortable to wear!

=> This is a set of .stl files I designed to fit a 220x220mm print bed. They are easy to print and assemble using minimal hardware. 

=> No AI involved - I carefully designed everything by myself and tested it out to ensure I could deliver the highest quality of product.

=> The instructions include detailed sizing and fitting instructions to achieve a perfect fit. 

=> I have included a "merged" version of the only split part in the assembly. Every part has a flat side to align with the print bed for an easy printing experience. 

=> I recommend printing with PETG or PETG-CF for durability, ease of sanding, and UV resistance.

I set out on a journey to design the best wearable 3D printed armor I could come up with, after being disappointed with the historical accuracy of what was available online.

I wanted something historically accurate to real mid-16th century antique armor from renaissance Europe. I believe that, apart from the material, plate thickness, fastener type, and the fact these are printed; these files are a decent attempt at accuracy and offers the same aesthetic and range of motion a real 16th century piece of armor would offer. Please note they are designed only for aesthetics as costume pieces, and do not offer any real protection from weapon strikes, let alone HEMA, buhurt, etc.

I am very happy to share this labor of love with you, and I hope that the included guide can help you make your own printed “antique” piece, something that will look great in your next project.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any comments or if you run into issues.
