I think the tip ExCeLLuR8, he4thbar, and I would vouch for is reinforcing foam seams with shoe goo from behind. It can get a lil pricey, but it makes things indestructible.storm427 - In the Maintenance and the Tips/Tricks what are some kinds of things you would want to know?
And to anyone else, what are some maintenance, tips or tricks that you would want to give to new members? It can be for any method (Pep, Foam, 3d print)
Honestly for peace of mind that the seams won't tear, it only cost me $10-$15. I only used 2 tubes and used the 3rd one to just add more in certain areas(depends how thick you want to lay it on). I agree though shoe goo should be included.
Floppy crotch pieces pieces?
Adding on that, if Armorsmith is mentioned somewhere in there, don't use armorsmith alone as a single source of truth for scaling. Idc how accurate your body measurements are, at some point it'll cause an issue cause it's not a perfect representation. I've had a lot of luck using height-only scaling, and inter-body-part proportional scaling, though this partly only works because I'm lean. I then throw these scaled models into armorsmith as a sort of test/check before printing and building.Also an area to give formulas or examples on how to properly scale armor files? I know everyone needs this xD
I agree, but also disagree depending on the part. My scaling went really well with everything EXCEPT my chest core. but for scaling on everything else it works out well and is the easiest to modify the parts on the fly. But I agree probably measuring your actual body measurements helps as well.Adding on that, if Armorsmith is mentioned somewhere in there, don't use armorsmith alone as a single source of truth for scaling.

Measure twice, go to write down the number, can't find a pen, forget number, measure twice, think that number can't be right, measure once, go "huh", measure again just in case. Come back weekly and perform the same series of steps and create trending data.Measure twice, cut once.![]()

The power of Dr. Scholls, I need to get some for my cosplay shoesIt's like he's speaking to/ about ME! o.0
Im sure this has been mentioned before, but a quick note on comfortable footwear and heat management.

In relation to this. Is there a good fan/LED/battery/wiring guide already on here anywhere?The difference between a helmet with fans and one without is the difference between having fun and heatstroke during a summer convention.
Where do you suggest placing fans in your helmet and pointing where?The difference between a helmet with fans and one without is the difference between having fun and heatstroke during a summer convention.
Honestly, wherever fits and has the most space, and whatever is comfortable for you. I have mine in the very top by my forehead because that has the most space in my helmet, and it can also draw air from a small gap at the top of the visor. I also have it so it blows almost all the way down my visor, hits the chin area, and redirects into my face and the rest of the helk because I didnt like it blowing directly on my face. This is different for every helmet and cosplayerWhere do you suggest placing fans in your helmet and pointing where?
