---- In MakerWorld, there is a ghostly Dark Knight. No one knows his origins, no one has ever seen his face. Only the mysterious creations left under the cover of night serve as proof of his existence. When night falls and he gallops past, the sound of iron hooves echoes with a haunting cry—"Sarwtiiiiin." Yet, he has been silent for far too long. Some say he ventured alone to challenge the Overlord who rules this world, and failed. Others whisper that he was devoured by the Overlord, utterly destroyed... Now, at the site of their legendary battle, you discover the truth— A crimson longsword, still burning with fury, and a shattered, blood-stained suit of obsidian armor. It seems the Dark Knight’s fate has come to an end. These are the final creations he left behind. But the story of MakerWorld has only just begun. This world needs more heroes. Warrior, take up these artifacts. Carry forth the will of the Dark Knight, and face the all-devouring Overlord of MakerWorld⚔️！ ----

The above is nonsense. This is the first work of my new series ——「MakerWorld Heroes」. This series aims to create unique props and equipment for those heroes both in front of and behind the scenes of MakerWorld. This time, the protagonist is Sarwtin, who spends half his time wearing this set, saying that it is more low-key. This post is the armor: Shadow-Forged; the sword is here: Crimson Shadow

- The full set consists of 8 parts. Full-size printing is supported A1 and above.

- The overall proportions are based on a height of 180 cm.

- The armor has sufficient thickness, so it can be printed normally even when scaled down to 50%, and used as a decoration.

- Filament usage: Helmet 650g

Shoulder (Pair) 1500g

Chest 500g

Back 400g

Waist 800g

Arm (Pair) 450g

Lower Leg(Pair) 560g

All 5160g

About Print Profile:

- To print the unibody Helmet and the Shoulder, H2D must use the right hot end. (The height limit of the right one is 325 mm, and the left is 320 mm).

- The helmet has 2 versions, default and wider. See below for details on About Wearing.

- A pair of shoulders needs to be printed twice, without mirroring, because the battle damage effects on the front and back are asymmetrical, mirroring would make it look monotonous.

- All pieces have passed the non-glued plate test. However, it is recommended to glue the plate to increase stability, as the printing time is quite long.

- All profiles are pre-supported and can be printed directly.

- Both PLA and PETG can be finished with no significant difference, but PETG is recommended for durability considerations.

About Wearing：

- See attached Wearing guide for wearing. You will need elastic straps or belts that is less than 5cm wide. In fact, there is more than one way to wear the armor, so you will need to adjust it according to your body.
