1. Anet A8. At the time it was one of the cheapest 3D printers available, partially because it comes as a kit. There are tons of files on thingiverse that help make improvements to the 3D printer, mostly just stabilizing pieces that help make the frame more rigid. If i remember right I ordered...

I originally planned on using the tail light blackout before I found the tutorial on how to dye a visor. The most difficult part about dying the visor is finding a disposable pot large enough to heat the water in. I got lucky and found one at my local Goodwill for $9. The dye method is nice...

Hello everyone, it has been several years since I've even been on this website and my old username is long gone. This first post is going to be quite long as I have been working on my armor intermittently for about a year and a half. This is not my first attempt at making armor. I have tried...
