The Codpiece - Accurate 16th Century Groin Armor

Although an April's Fools joke, this is still a wearable and fully functional knight's crotch armor design. This 3D printing file kit accurately matches 16th century codpieces from museums. An absolute masterpiece, I believe this is my finest design yet.

=> This is a .stl file I designed to fit a 220x220mm print bed. It is easy to print and wear using minimal hardware.

=> It is scalable to whatever size you wish, for a perfect fit. Project confidence and power!

=> The instructions include detailed sizing and finishing instructions to achieve a realistic looking end result

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

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

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.
