So I've been busy making the next few pieces of the armor. I've got both shoulders printed and temporarily attached together with the hinge by some spare filament and masking tape. I started on the patterning for some of the under pieces that attach the shoulder to the under suit. I'm...

yeah, this hobby is NOT the cheapest, but if you can't afford the proper saftey equipment it might be a good time to step back and save. do some more research, planning and designing while you save. I've probably spent hundreds in materials, here's a list of the things I used when I pepped my...

've run into some issues similar to what you're seeing. one of the things that was causing the issue was the profile I was using in Cura. I have an ender 3 max as well but one if the problems was that the printed that i had selected in the software was an ender 3 pro. i was having layer shifts...

You're going to need a respirator if you're going to do any sanding whatsoever. If you get that resin in your lungs its going to mess you up. Even the most non toxic resin is still going to shoot off particles do not skip this step, do not pass go, do not collect 200$. Please, for your own...

For sure my dude. I actually learned about the foam while shopping for mattresses. the memory foam style is super comfy but retains a lot of heat. closed cell foam doesn't have the ability to breathe like open cell. weird what you learn about cosplay day to day.

No i actually bought it from Etsy : Big goofy space-guns and other cosplay props! by SkookumProps Its an incredibly well made file, limits the amount of supports and slices if you import the files correctly and the main armor files incorporate foam within the build too if that's what you're...

It really is, all I did was stick some soft textured athletic cloth foam Joanne's to some polyethylene foam with Super 77. I went with polyethylene because its better for breathability. open cell and a bit more rigid then something like memory foam. polyurethane: very soft, probably more...

this was exactly the one I was referring too, I love the idea and the execution is great, but like I said I'm kind of burnt out on multicam. I'm going for a High Speed Low Drag ODST look as well as cutting down on the work I have to do. this whole cosplay is to help me gain experience and skills...

I did see that Multicam fabric wrap that the guy had on his armor and I wasn't a fan, multicam feels too grounded in the current timeframe and doesn't have that Future Look I'm going for. I'm trying for a high speed low drag look that I feel like rookie has. I don't think I'm going to do the...

I do use them, just not as often as I'd like and I wouldn't sell the G1 pads under threat of death, those things saved my knees on more occasions than I'd like to admit. I have a multicam pair that fits better in my BOB gear with my training gear but I've been looking over the 343 Cosplay guide...

I know I'm a little late to that post but you can always just eyeball where the print stopped and slice the file up to that point and print the rest. I had an issue where my printer would just decide it was done printing randomly so i had to get really good at eyeballing the layer. little...

make a skull mask and wear it inside your helmet? you'll have to scale the helmet accordingly to fit it inside it. if you wanted to take it a step further and really go wild you could even do something like this : Bones Foam Latex Prosthetic Appliance I've bought from that company before and...

had a bit of a rough day, water moccasin was chillin on my back porch, had to drive 45 minutes back home to deal with it, then had to replace the screen in my back porch to keep the buggers out for good, 2 trips to Lowes. then had a total print failure requiring disassembly and reassembly...

I got a package the other day that has the Helmet fans... and they are amazing. worth every penny if you're looking for convenience. they plug into a USB power bank and run off that. they each have a button to power them on and off individually. I know that I could have built this for less money...

I thought the Same thing! its literally called Stone Grey from Rustoleum from Lowes. to be totally honest, I don't hate it. I don't think ill ever be able to find the exact Rookie paint in rattle cans and I'm not looking to mix my own to run it through an airbrush. The black and grey are all...
