Working on my first build!

[Eden]

I'm hoping to document my first two builds, as I'm making one for myself, and one for my boyfriend!

So far, we only have my helmet printed (Anubis + cat ears) which was printed on my Anycubic Vyper in PLA, and the cut parts have been welded together with a 3d pen! I'm ordering a soldering iron this week to even out those seams, though The visor in the attached photo is from a cheapie kids' Master Chief mask I found at a liquidation centre next to my office, which I intend on heat forming to fit my build better.

Also featured in this photo is our repainted Mauler, which will be used for my boyfriend's suit. It was on a pretty solid sale at Walmart last year. So worth it. Still functions, too!

Welcome to the Cat Ear Brigade! Helmet looks really good, can't wait to see the rest of it.

Hell yeah B) I'm hoping to add some little LEDs to the ears since I printed them in translucent PLA!

What helmet do you have? I'm sure you can find a compatible 3d file!

There's actually a couple files floating around that are one size fits most. Skookum Props comes to mind.

That helmet looks NIICEE! Do you plan on gluing the ears on or having some sort of magnetic attachment?

Translucent PLA is such a good idea!

I'm a reach recon guy! I already have them printed off I just need to paint and put magnets in them.

Reforming the kiddie visor is so smart! Good thinking! I just got a motorcycle visor x)

It already had the right markings and colour, huehuehue. I'm hoping I can stretch it out to fit correctly!!

They're already permanently attached; I have welded them on with a 3d pen

As is good and proper. Why would anyone ever want to remove the cat ears?
