    TITANFALL 2 pepakura unfolds?

    I am very good at unfolding, and would unfold your model for you in exchange for Viper character models (helmet and armor) extracted from the game. Let me know. My son and I would like to 3D print elements from this:

    Grif from RvB cosplay

    We've recorded video and photos of the build for YouTube. Here is a teaser: For my Starfleet uniforms (two of them, TOS and TWOK) it will be generic Engineering captain rank. Build threads are started at the 1701st and there will be vlogs on my YouTube channel. My kid loves Red vs. Blue...

    Grif from RvB cosplay

    I'm taking my kid to Salt Lake Comic Con this week where he'll be cosplaying as Jack Cooper from Titanfall 2. We've spent probably over $1,000 on the outfit and been working round the clock for the last 4 weeks hoping to get it ready in time. (3 days to go, and still a lot of work to be done.)...

    3D printer HELP thread

    Thanks, but got a different printer and it's working just fine.

    Halo 4 Hexagon Fabric

    In past threads I recall reading a fair amount of interest for black hexagon-textured material for Halo 4 undersuits. Well, I was at one of our local JoAnn stores today and they had a bolt of black pleather-type material (almost like a lightweight vinyl) with recessed honeycomb texture on it...

    Robot Chicken's PILLAR OF AUTUMN Build - 3D Printed

    Hey, thanks for the novel! :) It is not a slipping extruder gear nor a damaged/blocked nozzle. This is an $8,000 printer with metal drive gear and lots of teeth. It's got 3 extruders and they all work fine - it's the hot end (not the nozzle) causing the problem. The printer auto-levels itself...

    Robot Chicken's PILLAR OF AUTUMN Build - 3D Printed

    Nope, it was just a quick and dirty Halloween prop for my kid. I continue to get filament jams and failed prints with the Mass Portal printer. Very disappointing considering the machine's cost.

    How to scale with Tamasoft Pepakura Viewer

    You cannot resize models in Pepakura Viewer, only in Pepakura Designer. If you use the free version of Designer then you won't be able to save your changes so you'll want to record your sizing values in case you need to redo or adjust anything later.

    3d printed Halo 3 Master Chief costume

    Superglue isn't very strong and you can easily "pop" glued joints apart and I don't know of a "slurry" that will work with PLA. I have found this to work well, as it "welds" PLA together much like acetone does with ABS...

    Robot Chicken's PILLAR OF AUTUMN Build - 3D Printed

    Alright, I think we're set for Halloween this year. Got the SGC patches applied to his shirt, got this prop finished... And I'm feeling a little accomplished with this next one. I drew up the model in 3 days, printed it in 2 days, and assembled it in 2 days. Wow... It's got separate...

    Robot Chicken's PILLAR OF AUTUMN Build - 3D Printed

    Can't figure out proper gcode settings for MatterHackers PRO filament to not jam in the hot end partway through a print (filament randomly stops flowing), so I've instead been using the sample PolyMaker PolyMax filament which came with the machine. On a deadline to get parts made and just don't...

    Robot Chicken's PILLAR OF AUTUMN Build - 3D Printed

    Yes, it's extrusion. Bed adhesion is fine, printing straight on heated glass with a 0.4mm nozzle, layer height only 0.1mm. Filament jams in the hot end causing the extruder drive gear to grind into the filament (and of course, no filament coming out of the nozzle). I'm now printing one the...

    Robot Chicken's PILLAR OF AUTUMN Build - 3D Printed

    Actually, Mass Portal has data for 0.01mm layer height using PolyMax PLA, so I hope to be able to print super-fine details and have no print lines on the larger surfaces. At the moment, though, the printer is having extrusion issues that I'm still trying to figure out with kaween's help.

    Robot Chicken's PILLAR OF AUTUMN Build - 3D Printed

    Nope, that's right off the printer with 0.4mm nozzle and 0.1mm layer height. Not going for high-def yet as I've been having extruder issues with the machine and the kid's props don't need to be high resolution - once they're sanded and painted they will look just fine. After I'm better...
