I’m honestly so lost whether it’s best with this red hood rebirth mask I wanna print if I should have it right on my ears but too loose everywhere else, or squeeze my ears and stuff in 😵💫
This was the perfect video I needed, I'm an underage cosplayer trying to cosplay nikolai gogol and i felt bad that I wasn't making the cosplay from scratch that is mainly because of resources and skill, I can sew but my abilities are limited but i absolutely suck at drawing, though I've decided that I'm going to buy the cosplay and modify it slightly to make it more unique
That's fantastic. It's definitely ok to buy and then work up slowly with your skills. Even if you are just modifying it or building props to go along with your cosplay. Good luck with your cosplay, have fun!
@@AstrocyteCosplay thank you
Guilty as suggested at beginning of video. I’m here after 18 hours printing lol
It happens to the best of us. Even after some experience printing helmets, sometimes things just go wrong. Did you have any more luck with your second attempt?
hello! the link doesnt work anymore, and i cant seem to access their patreon. is there any way i can get these files? thank you!
It no longer works!
I don't know any Flexbond alternatives in my country T-T So im stuck with my Plasti dip alternative, Elastic Dip
Oh that's a shame. I haven't heard of Elastic Dip but I'm sure it works like plasti dip and I really do like it still. Have to use what you can get.
Thanks for posting this. I needed to upscale a hole but I needed to measure the diameter first. Thanks.
No worries. Glad it was helpful 😊
I wish I had found this video a few days ago. I watched a video, did everything the person told me and the helmet I started printing was definitely never going to fit my head and I could not figure out what I did wrong or what I missed...but this is so genius and I'm really grateful
Really, really freakin cool!
I was happy with how they turned out. Would make them slightly bigger next time!
What are you working on now? We'd love to see your projects and more how-to!!
I have finished this sword and have a video on the works (see my community post) but had a few health problems so that's taken my focus for a bit.
"Embrace your nerd!" Love it!
You're a freakin rockstar Tracey! Thanks so much for the clear instruction, and for keeping it "rookie-level" enough for those of getting started!
Thanks for the amazing comment. Really appreciate the time you took. Glad it helped and definitely let me know if there is anything else you would like some help with.
This was great (and EXACTLY what I was looking for)! Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
thanks!
You are most welcome 😊
I feel like now there is this lovely yearly holiday tradition of MatPat causing chaos in the kitchen which some unhinged recipe😂❤
No joke, thank you. Just found the 3d printer to buy and now I have a better idea of how to start. 🤙🏽
SUCH A WONDERFUL SUPER-POWERED & SUPER-DRESSED FAMILY 💛💙❤💗
With that head model. when you put in the Z size for your head wouldn't that be a little bit off because that model has a neck where measuring your head its from chin to top of head?
Yes you are correct. With a lot of the helmets I'm not normally as worried about the z as I scale with uniform measurements (to keep portions looking correct) so as long as X and Y fit that's the main thing I am worried about. You can definitely factor in the neck section if you want it to be more accurate.
Your video came up in a search for "measure in Cura". Cosplay is not my thing but it is so great to click on a video and here another Aussie's voice come through, thanks for the vid and all the best.
Hi! Thanks for taking the time to comment. Always love fellow Aussies finding the channel and videos. 3D printing is cool regardless of it being cosplay or not. Enjoy your printing 😊
Damn. Thanks.
That's nice
Thanks!
Both Cosplay Callipers links are not found, where are they ?
Great video! Im wanting to get into cosplay and this video is definitely getting referred to as I go!
Great to hear! Definitely ask any questions that you have 😊
Yes, but why make this when you can buy a functioning one that looks exactly like this
R u dumb
meanwhile Plasti Dip in my country was about hundreds bucks of our currency here and its so expensive😅😢
what if model doesnt fit in Cura box? is there away to cut in pieces without resizing?
Justo lo que necesitaba, gracias!
Glad it was helpful ☺️ Me alegro de que haya sido util
Promo'SM 💪
Thanks for your efford. About scale.. YOu showed how to make bigger object but I have problem with making objects smaller.. I need 1/6 scale so I enter 0,16 for X+Y+Z and do not works.. So I enter for example 0,5 or other <1 value and do not work... Help please
good morning ... how do I scale a batman helmet?
My stuff is measuring several hundred MM incorrectly. I just printed something that said it was 289 and it was 33.2
If you need something super accurate you might be better using something like fusion 360. For cosplay props a few mm is never going to matter as people are not going to be measuring your prop. Also it could be your actual machine as it can print differently based on the calibration of your machine. You could try printing a calibration cube and seeing if that comes out the correct measurements and that will tell you if it's your machine.
Thank you for this video! I'm not totally a cosplayer but use my 3D print for alot of stuff and this helped me understand how to use the measure tool!
Thank you, this was a total game/life changer. I have been fighting with scaling, even when I use mm in CAD and dimension things right. I did find that if you scale your print to 1000% uniformly it is usually a 1:1 ratio. Now I can check. As they should start saying. "Measure twice, print once." :) Thank you for sharing this plug-in.
Amazing 👏
Thanks 😄
How is plasti dip over flexbond/hexflex??
@AstrocyteCosplay thanks for replying, and sorry, yes i mean how does plasti dip bond/look if you put it over flexbond?? If you even know :D
No flexbond won't really fill your gaps. To seal the foam I normally use a heat gun that closes up the pores in the foam. You can use something like Kwik seal (I use a variation of this that I can get in Australia) or even foam clay to seal the gaps and seams.
Yep I have used acetone to get rid of some of mine also. Definitely give that a try. 😊
@@AstrocyteCosplay its barely working if at all, terrible success! maybe too little acetone in my nail polish remover :( buying some xylene now edit: xylene on a sponge and a little friction is working reaaaally good
I am sorry but your channel is criminally overlooked! ;) Followed for sure and keep up the great work! :)
Appreciate the kind works 😊 Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for the sub, please let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to see on the channel. Appreciate you.
Thank you!! This is my first commission cosplayed piece. Printing with Ender 3 V2
That's awesome, well done. Hope your customer loves it 😀
thanks for the info, i hated plasti dip to do props as a kid and waiting forever for it to dry lol
No problems! Would love to hear what you think of Flexbond if you give it a try.
Most important thing, go and have fun! Number one, have fun. Be proud of your cosplay...stay away from thed toxic cosplay snobs. Be supportive of everyone. I was hoping toad would win...glad you enjoyed it.
100% agreed. Some excellent points you mention here. At least Toad didn't come last like me! 🤣 I always play as Yoshi or Toad in the so I can understand that.
~ QUESTION FOR COSPLAYERS ~ Who will win the Mario Kart race? Leave a guess here and see if you are correct at the end of the video!
I don't even have that little measure icon in my toolbar on the left...
You have to install it from Marketplace. The first part of the video shows you how to find it in Marketplace and how to install it. Goodluck 😊
@@AstrocyteCosplay Did that. Restarted, and don't have that icon anywhere. Edit: I accidentally installed "Mesh Tool" hah, got it working now. Thanks for making me double check!
Haha glad you got it working in the end! Was thinking to myself that was very strange 😂
Brilliant in its simplicity. Thank you! Definitely earned a sub!
Fyi you may have to hold down the shift key to get the second point in Cure 5.2.1 .
Thanks for sharing this tip with everyone. I haven't upgraded yet!
Thank You!! I was just about to give up - the SHIFT KEY is the key (to make it work accurately) especially when using the "Snap to model points" option.
Checking your vídeo great information ! Looking to start cosplay using 3d printer
This is absolutely brilliant and the thing I have struggled the most with is sizing helmets, fantastic idea
Glad it's helpful. No method is perfect but all tools to help us. Can combine different methods. Make sure you check out my other video too on sizing as it might help as well. Good luck!
@@AstrocyteCosplay Assume something similar could be done for gloves and forearm braces etc using a model of a hand or even arm.
Yeah I'm sure that definitely possible and worth testing out. I personally haven't tried that yet. I tend to measure with cosplay calipers and Meshmixer for those type of armour pieces.
I'm actually a 3D artist, I want to use a 3D printer for 3D concepting.
The hornet Child spider Mechanic Dan Mary Jane And spiderman That's what I'm gonna call you
thanks for the guide. One question, the Y measurement of the stl of the head includes the neck, right? but you have only measured the head
Yes correct in this case. I wasn't too worried as I use uniform scaling with helmets so portions look correct. As long as front to back and side to side fit I am happy enough. You could cut the bottom of the neck off the head model in Meshmixer if you would prefer it a bit more accurate. There is a tutorial on cutting files on the channel if you need some help.
@@AstrocyteCosplay thank you for your fast answer! Have a nice day.
No problems at all. Let me know if you run into any problems with this method. You have a nice day too 🙂
