Arms

3D Printed Alien Xenomorph Suit

This page is building the arms, check out the main project index for the rest.

There is a YouTube video about this section

I’m starting with the arms for Alien, which couple to the hands I made in the last part. These parts are going to be a hybrid print – printed in one go in ABS and Ninjaflex. The red parts in the drawings below represent flexible sections, while the blue parts are rigid. This allows the red bands to bend around the wearers arm and be strapped with the rigid slots at each end. Both will be printed in black Material:

You can get the STL files for 3D printing from my downloads page.

Here are the actual prints for the part:

And being worn:

The upper arm and shoulder pieces are multiple prints which are assembled like a custom construction kit:

The smaller round sections are to allow conduit to be run down the arm, which is characteristic of Alien:

The elbow section is next:

And everything together. I’d really like to run some internal ‘acid blood’ veins inside the structure, but that may have to wait until later:
