    Props Modular Nerf Halo 2 Sniper Rifle build

    I won't be sharing them immediately. I plan to be selling these parts to recoup some of my development expenses. Eventually I'll be releasing the files, but not initially.

    You can even raise the bar with the Heat if you print in PETG. It's expensive and finicky and frustrating but I've got this translucent blue PETG from eSun that is just absolutely gorgeous when printed. It is going to make a fantastic Cortana whenever I get around to it. But back to the topic...

    Charizard, that's great! I'm totally going to pick one of those up. I took the wasteful and lazy way out, I level the bed with a piece of paper and then I ALWAYS use a raft. The raft is 3 or 4 layers of thicker material that the print sits on. I have only had one failed raft so far. I find that...

    Alright guys, I may be moving at a glacial rate, but I'm moving! The 3D printer is up and running and I've started printing the stock. I took a few pictures of the current work in progress. I'm going to be printing the other half of the stock tomorrow. These are prototype builds so the infill is...

    Props 3D printing the Halo 3 Pelican

    This project is being put slightly on hold while I rework the model a little bit. I printed a section of the cargo hold and the door was so thin that it broke off while I was removing supports. In other news, I'm updating one of my other threads about a halo 2 sniper rifle build that is moving...

    Props 3D printing the Halo 3 Pelican

    That is quite the model. I'm really liking the one I'm working with right now. It has extended landing gear. I'm just running into some issues with the door being super thin. I think I need to edit the model slightly so that it prints better. Also having some issues with supports not removing...

    Props 3D printing the Halo 3 Pelican

    This is going to be a long project. I wanted to make a big desktop sized halo 3 pelican. This is going to have a nearly 8" wingspan. In order to use the fewest supports possible, and fit the whole thing on my print bed, I've chopped it up into 11 chunks. I've got 2 of them printed now and it...

    Props Modular Nerf Halo 2 Sniper Rifle build

    haha. I don't think you really have to worry about that. At least, not for this next birthday. Maybe for the one after that :P This really is a long term project. I've got other 3d printing and/or nerf repainting projects that are ahead of it in priority because they're actually making me...

    Props Modular Nerf Halo 2 Sniper Rifle build

    I plan on doing full performance mods on the retaliator. I havent decided if I'm going to buy myself a pre made sealed breach kit, or build my own brass sleeper breech. Then I'll need to tune the length of the brass barrel, and then I was going to do a really thin plastic barrel inside the...

    Props Modular Nerf Halo 2 Sniper Rifle build

    I am thinking about selling this as a kit in the future. I need to refine it, and figure out what materials I'm going to use for the barrels. I am also, as said above, going to recommend a vastly improved retaliator internals. Likely a brass breech kit. either a sleeper or a full seal, with an...

    Props Modular Nerf Halo 2 Sniper Rifle build

    Hey guys, I can't believe I didn't think to post this here to begin with! This is a very long term project. It's been in development now for a couple of months. I've been working on converting a Nerf Retaliator into the Halo 2 sniper rifle. Most of the parts are going to be 3d printed, and I...

    Props Boomco M6 repaint

    I used to think that these were perfectly proportioned. But now that I look closer I realize that its proportioned for a normal, ungloved hand perfectly. It fits me like a glove, but wouldn't fit me if I had (armored) gloves.

    Props Boomco M6 repaint

    I know people probably do these all the time. But I did a thing! I started out with the BoomCo M6. This thing is already SO close to the in game model. It just needs a couple of tweaks to really be game accurate. I want to make some modifications to it to really match and be faithful to the...

    Props T-25 Plasma Pistol from Halo 4

    How do you get that pattern in the purple? It's fantastic looking. Is that just masking? Is it some kind of hydro dip?

    Props The Answer to all your problems

    This is awesome. I'm trying to figure out ways to monetize a 3D printer so I can convince the wife that it would make sense to get one. I've been looking at the $300 monoprice Maker Select. Altho I like the challenge of turning existing nerf (or other brand) dart guns into props while retaining...
