Neat! You can make the elf talk.

That is amazing! After all these years, you are 1 step closer to completion!

Update time! I'm going to have to make a confession on some of the reasons why I have been sidelined on posts for this thread. One of them was I was in the middle of printing another Power Ranger Helmet for someone and the progress of it was difficult to deal with. So, this helmet is the Zeo...

Author's Note: I thought I had a previous draft saved, but I was never able to recover it... Oh, well! It's the 5th anniversary of this thread and it's long over due for an update. First things first. Last time, I was talking about making a boot last for making a pair of boots. The idea is...

Join the club. It's been raining for the past 2 days and I need to get some more filler primer so I can start painting. However, I will have to start painting on Memorial Day after the convention. Hopefully, the weather will clear for the both of us.

Okay, there's the layer shift.

I didn't see any layer shifting when it came off the bed.

SO! That was a bust! I had a feeling that it was going to be an issue, but neither option is viable. At this time, I am making adjustments to the outsole model so it has enough clearance to properly fit the last inside of it. After that, I will print it again and it should fit the last. For the...

A minor update on the boot last. It turns out that the measurement is off when I am making this boot last to fit inside the space on the outsole.

It's Update Time! It has been a very difficult time period this past month trying to get to the next step. First, I had an issue with the printers trying to get the print bed leveled. I got that issue resolved. I then moved forward with printing the 1st part of the last I call the North Last...

Wait...what?

True, but since I made the pattern to the suit, making a pattern for the boots has been created using the same process. Of course, it doesn't hurt to take a look. Thanks for the suggestion.

Update Time! Today, I would like to show the items I have obtained over the past few months. Let's start with the tools. From the top to the bottom are the items listed and all are from Amazon. Tandy Leather Leather Scissors from UpwardMerchandise. It's exactly what it is going to be used...

It's been way too long. Far to long to be exact. Anyway, I have plunged deep into the internet once again only to resurface. What I observed is that when it comes to making boots, there is very little instruction on how to make it. I barely can find any on the internet that's not really tacked...

I need to get my hands on a male mannequin. This would have made my suit so much more form fitting.
