I love a good Meta build. Can't wait to see how a 3d printed version comes out. Are you planning on making a brute shot as well?

Can't wait to see pictures! Don't quote me on this but I don't think anyone has made a meta build on here yet. .

I am going to quote you lol. There have been a few meta builds, both pep and foam, but not a 3d printed one.

That's great news! I wish i could afford a 3d printer. I'm jealous. I wish you luck in your build and I'll definitely stay tuned.

Hopefully I will have a working one very soon. I am excited to get started. My problem is finding someone to vacuform the helmet.

There are multiple threads detailing how to build your own vacuforming table. Doesn't seem too difficult or expensive. You may want to research that a little. You could save a lot of money and it's good for multiple uses.

Head Shot Props will be molding an EVA helmet this winter/fall if you don't want to build it.

The printer is alive! after months of saving for a new printer, all I needed was $10 in parts and its running. Woo
