Howdy, here is yet another ODST build post
First fully (semi) documented build post of my second cosplay. This is the first one that is fully PETG, Anycubic Textured Grey, with so many failures I don't want to talk about it, and thankfully with me being less than 200lbs and 5'11 makes scaling a non-issue for me.
Using the From the Brink files and all parts have been sanded using a ryobi orbital sander and 100 and 220 grit sanding plates. Which has been a quick and dirty way to get PETG sanded. Since it has a good heat tolerance the orbital sander has allowed me to finish a part for painting in under 40min.
I have only sustained a single injury, so far, on my thumb which has left a nice scar from removing supports with the blade facing me. Would not recommend.
After some research on PETG learned that PVC cement, Oatey handy pack, makes for a great glue for most things we print off and have been having great luck with the word forgetting fumes on assembling the lower legs and the helmet. The visor is still in the works using clear resin or going a cheaper route if time becomes a factor.
Next on the list is priming followed by more sanding, plastic wood filler, more sanding, then experimenting with the apparently industry professional airbrush kit I got from my uncle to finish it off.
More as I get to it / when I am not focused on moving.
