see you at C2!! Can't wait to see the armour!

Mine are snug but not too tight as well. My helmet feels more like wearing a pair of headphones rather than a helmet because most of the support for the helmet actually comes from the ear pieces rather that the padding around the sides. XD It's actually a nice way to secure the helmet to my...

whoever made the map for the convention needs to be informed that the direction north is a thing and if you're not going to make north the towards to top of the map, at the very least they should indicate which direction is north. What is this smh XD Building Overview (East is Up) Show Floor...

I use CA glue (super glue) with an activator to glue 3D printed parts. You may want to reinforce the seams as well with some sort of epoxy I find contact cement is the best for gluing foam to foam

The external battery packs are so clever!

I am aware of a bug in armorsmith that botches pepakura unfolds when scaling non-uniformly, but I am not aware of any issues with scaling stls for 3D printing. Not sure what's going on there... what exactly is the problem you're having? I prefer spot putty to wood filler. I find it holds its...
