To assemble the parts together you could also have heated the rivets with a soldering iron so, that they melt into the plastic of the base. You would then have added glue to the other pieces. It would have avoided weakening the part by drilling inside.
I tried this approach after having issues with drilling and getting the holes to line up. Heating the rivets with a soldering iron didn't really have an affect. Direct contact with the soldering iron would melt the plastic, but that would just widen the hole rather than fuse the rivet to the plastic.
@Firefox4hire overall it is good, however I am not a fan of just how heavy this specific head is, I would recommend one of the heads instead from coela can't. The epsilon one is actually one I'm looking at rebuilding in atm.
My best friend wants to do this and I'm going along with it cause I have nothing to do in the meantime. Also this will be our project from now to the end. Your work inspired the both of us
I cannot find this Kit on their web-site :( Are there alternatives, or self-make guides that demostrates how to 3D print this, and create the plastic glass nose?
@@WafflesDoesArt That is what I am leaning towards. I would probably just buy the visor from someone else the first round, but I would like to 3D print my own visor design around that. However, finding 3D printing templates for this would be a huge shortcut! :)
5:10 maybe razor blades? They cut through plastic like a charm and speed things up. Just be careful, you might remove a bit too much plastic, or a chunk of your hand.
Automotive furry here they make filler primer that’s meant to fill in sanding lines I’ve used it on 3d prints before after sanding and it works really well
@@WafflesDoesArt yeaaa I got it from Kaiborge not many of the pieces fit together D: but I made them work but I can’t get the frame to fit at all and ik it’s a print and it’s hard to get everything perfect while printing it but I don’t get how bad this is :{ makes me sad and I have a con in a month but I’m trying so hard
when you are in UA-cam looking for ways to modify model you are working on and you realize that the video was uploaded 3 days ago... Great video btw, but I guess ima have to wait until the next video to get my ideas
Quite ironically i dont think proto suits look all that hard to make, cause with regular ones you need to learn how to cut foam for the foundation. But with a protogen fursuit the foundation is 3d printed and the furring and adding of foam will be the easy ish part. Idk if im wrong here cause i have no experience but feel free to prove me wrong

This couldnt have been more perfectly timed. I was just starting to research how to make a proto head!!!!
i’m researching too, how did it go for you?

i don't know anything about furries and stuff but it's really cool that you're able to make this from scratch
The start to an exciting new series! So excited to follow along and see the final result.

I think protogens are my favourite!! I love this channel so it’s going to be a great watch
4:26 OMG STARDEW VALLEY MUSIC😭♥️
I haven't been interested in protogens. But this is definitely interesting. I love seeing fursuit building :3
Yay my favorite youtouber gonna make a fursuit and also I'm gonna start making my first fursuit!
Nice work! I'm excited to follow along and see how the finished product turns out.
Aaa so exciting to see you starting a new project! Can’t wait to watch along :3
I love this ❤️ best diy protogen head I've seen In a while
in the past this is what originally helped me decide to be become a furry, so good job to u
where generic purple protogen failed miserably
Yes I've watched that video too
@@dguthriephelps i don’t remember it anymore
Dude u deserve more suns with all the effort u put into ur fursuit sand videos
Cool 😎 protogen had good Job 👍❤️
I have a Kaiborg too. Really like how it turned out. Excited to see what you do c:

you can 3D print the base yourself and vacuform the visor
@@WafflesDoesArt That is what I am leaning towards. I would probably just buy the visor from someone else the first round, but I would like to 3D print my own visor design around that. However, finding 3D printing templates for this would be a huge shortcut! :)
What if you don’t have a 3D printer
Gentle reminder to all to use particle and vapor PPE ! Stay safe ❤

A have a oxyacetylene torch, does that work ?
lovign the stardew valley music
Meet the engineer
Erectin' a Protogen
Meet the protogineer.
I love your work! :) but I have a question.. is it safe at all to buy the base kit from kaiborg studios???
Where do you get that?😮
I wanna try and use this as a tutorial sometime
Automotive furry here they make filler primer that’s meant to fill in sanding lines I’ve used it on 3d prints before after sanding and it works really well
Whaaa why won’t my frame fit in the helmet D: the shapes don’t match
did you get them from kaiborg? You might want to ask them or on discord, I can't really help without seeing
@@WafflesDoesArt yeaaa I got it from Kaiborge not many of the pieces fit together D: but I made them work but I can’t get the frame to fit at all and ik it’s a print and it’s hard to get everything perfect while printing it but I don’t get how bad this is :{ makes me sad and I have a con in a month but I’m trying so hard
what part did you get in your kit? Just wondering, thinking of doing this myself
Are you trying to ask where he got it? Because that’s in the description.
Why did I have to make my protogen so damn unique? Now all the premade parts don’t fit my protos aesthetic
which one do I get 300mm or 600mm?
I'm gonna make one with JtingF head kit no electronics

I'm working as fast as I can! 😂
@@WafflesDoesArt yeah man no rush I was just looking for other people who have made protogen heads as examples 😅
How much did the 3D printed parts cost?
A few cents each, the whole roll of plastic was only $15
@@WafflesDoesArt okie, thanks. Planning to do a protogen visor too lol
I want to eat that bondo stuff
Do I need to use resin or does FDM work just as good?
FDM works too, but you should sand it, to even the surface out
When he was sanding the jaw it looked like he was playing violin 😅

It can be easy depending on how much experience you have. Its more expensive than hard
It is hellishly expensive tho
holy shit i did it after a year
How much was that plastic protogen kit?
Were can you buy one
Are Kaiborg studio still active? I have sent them email, but they have not answered yet.(Been some days)
It took 5 months to even start putting my casemate together
I want to make Protogen I got a oc but no money :(
You look like a CGI 3D model.
I'm not gonna build one of these, I just want to see how they're made
Edit: MAYBE one day I'll make one, I'm not a furry though
.....Mmmmm furrys yes
:3
tf2 engineer
HELP I SEE THAT NOW
The engineer is engi-here
erectin a dispenser
POV;Furry
I think your cool but I hate in every speck of me furries... sooo don't mind the AR-15
How does my hobby affect your life?
😐
I would be surprised if you were above the age of 12
As a child furry you are more immature then i am
