How to Weather 3D Prints

How to Weather 3D Prints
In this final video I'll be weathering this awesome Villainous Prop Shop helmet. Taking it from shiny and new to damaged and battle hardened! Weathering helmets and prints is my favorite step in the creative process. With very inexpensive items you can weather any print and make it look used and battle tested.

[@Ninjabot1994]

You're video tutorials really helped me out with smoothing a 3D print Mandalorian helmet I've ordered. Alot of sanding, but worth it.

[@3DPrintedProps]

Glad I could help! 😀

[@cerberusxv4509]

Thats the same reason as to why I watched the full tutorial was so I can have a better understanding of how to remove print lines on heavy mando suit

[@Bohbot9000]

The rub n buff with brush is such a dope idea. Thanks!

[@danielyesnt3624]

Holy crap I just came across your channel the other day. I'm honestly surprised that the quality of your videos are even better than many bigger channels and that they're very informative with no filler. Thanks for putting out great content!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Wow, thanks! I really appreciate it!

[@cryptictv3181]

I’m getting my redhood helmet sometime this weekend and I’ve been binging these videos in preparation. I’m so hyped! And feel super prepared! You rock dude!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Wow! Thanks so much. Good luck on your build. I'm sure you'll nail it. :)

[@EmuAGR]

These series have been amazing, now I'm feel more confident to try it myself! Thank you, Kevin! *Subscribed*

[@red4643]

I just found your channel, and absolutely am so grateful for it! I have a very intricate helmet I'm going to be sanding, filling, painting, and weathering, and these videos have and will likely continue to be extremely helpful for me! Thank you!

[@3DPrintedProps]

So glad it helped!!

[@OzzMantiix]

Excellent job man. Greetings from Colombia.

[@dead9508]

i’m planning to order a Daft Punk helmet and your videos are a great help !! I’m a beginner and your videos are very easy to understand !! Thank you!!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Glad you like them!

[@XicoFmt]

thanks so much, just got my first ever project (Hannya mask) and you answered all my first timer questions that I had at this time ! thanks for your great work!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Glad I could help!

[@ronm6585]

Looks very authentic. Thanks for sharing.

[@3DPrintedProps]

My pleasure 😊

[@rayvellart]

Awesome series! I love it so much

[@colegonzales6535]

Your videos are really fantastic. Thanks so much for taking the time to share the knowledge!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Glad you like them! Thanks. :)

[@chrisk2898]

Thanks for the videos! My son wants to be red hood for Halloween so we ordered the helmet and will be using your tips to have it ready for trick or treating.

[@3DPrintedProps]

That is awesome! Would love to see a pic when you're done.

[@xxxxzorroxxxx]

Love your videos . Glad your back.like that your my Neighbor.I live in douglaston ny

[@3DPrintedProps]

Thanks man! Having fun with these.

[@cfireball15]

I have been wanting to do red hood cosplay and found your videos and it even helped me decide who to go through for the helmet thanks 🙏

[@Hoot]

That looks so fucking cool man

[@3DPrintedProps]

Wow! Thanks man!!

[@evolutionxstudios]

great job sir!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Thanks man. 😀

[@sassytroy8282]

Loving your videos. I am just learning how to do up 3D printed masks and helmets and I am learning so much from these videos. I made a small Phantom Of The Opera mask using your sanding and paint techniques and it came out amazing! Working it slow but I wanna eventually get to Batman and Red Hood type levels of pro-looking helmets! My big accomplishment will be Iron Man! So glad to see your videos!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Glad you like them and that they are helping you with your projects!! :)

[@MikeGOplay]

Just watched this series. Thank you. Pro shit. Solid work man!!!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Great content. Good to see someone else doing stuff like this. Got some good stuff on my channel as well.

[@3DPrintedProps]

Thanks! Hope it helped.

[@2josegonzalez]

Beautiful!

[@TheJackal342]

I have some keys I printed that I want to give a used and weathered look to. this vid will help so much! Thank you!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wolfthorn1]

I realy apreciate that you took so many hours of your time to show us how to do this type of realistic prop build. Also great that you didn't try to jam it all into one 10 minute video. I subscribed because you have the patience and keen eye as well as the ingenuity to do this sort of art. I would love to see what you could do with some other time weathered props. Maybe a tank or a plane. My only criticism,... more of a personal preference though... Let the silver scuffs shine through a bit more.

[@3DPrintedProps]

I appreciate that! Glad you got something out of them and they helped. :)

[@CharlesRooks]

Looks awesome, I can’t use an airbrush so this is a great alternative. Thanks

[@3DPrintedProps]

Happy to help!

[@Necroscat]

Amazing Video Series!!!! Used this to paint my Darth Revan helmet & made a project out of it with my girlfriend! Thanks so much for going through all the steps & explaining everything! Can't wait for Halloween! I think this might end up becoming a hobby of mine!

[@AndrewZona]

I forget if you said this or not - Are you applying these effects after clear coating the helmet? Does having a clear coat before or after matter?

[@SD-xo3im]

Dude you're awesome! Just made a batman mask for a friend and its not perfect, so I want to weather it up a bit to give it a much better look. Thanks for this video!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Glad I was able to help. :)

[@thebigbuddies50]

Did you clear coat after the final coat of spray of after the weathering?

[@3DPrintedProps]

I did the clearcoat first but if you want to make it so the weathering doesn't wear off or scuff you can weather then do the clear. I like to weather last because then my weathering can actually change.

[@fennatik]

next up, red hood new mask ? :D

[@xXParrallaxXx]

Do you put another clear coat after the weathering? I’ve had issues with rub n buff in the past rubbing off and getting my costume all silver and I’m not sure how to prevent that

[@3DPrintedProps]

Hello, I usually don't because I like the weathering to keep wearing, but if you do, yes, it will protect it better.

[@fivas]

from factory new to well worn :D

[@3DPrintedProps]

Ha, yeah it is weird to weather something that looks so nice and shiny. :)

[@martinrueda164]

Awesome video! Thanks for the tips :D

[@3DPrintedProps]

Thanks! Happy to help!

[@misandharrymintowt-czyz3763]

Unfortunately link for the LED lights for the eyes doesn't work for me. Tried to find them with Google, no joy... What search term should.i be using? (Great videos BTW)

[@Matt-ek6bf]

Will the dry tamiya stuff disappear if the helmet is exposed to rain or stuff like that?

[@Lucas-xq8lr]

Super great vids. Would you consider doing a clone trooper helmet?

[@3DPrintedProps]

You know, not a bad idea, I've never done a Star Wars related helmet before.

[@lsg1Entertainment]

Do you need a clear coat to lock in powders and paint?

[@ahoy.214]

Ok. I mean this in a good way. But you remind me of Dave Bautista.🤣. also,Great videos!

[@3DPrintedProps]

Glad it helped. LOL You're not the first person in the comments who've said that. Too funny.

[@ahoy.214]

Yeah. It’s a great video. I’m new to the 3D printing world and I’m still trying to level my printer bed. 🙄. But I wanted to create the red hood helmet from Titans. And I wasn’t sure how to get that semi shiny/metallic red. And this answered my question.

[@gpgordon12]

I really appreciate this series, I just printed a death gun mask from the anime gun gale online. I do have a question, how would you go about painting a gun metal silver?

[@3DPrintedProps]

Wow, lots of ways really. Depends on if you want chrome, or a brushed sliver. I would just test out different paints.

[@gpgordon12]

@@3DPrintedProps Thank you. I ended up doing a silver spray paint as the base and using alcohol ink to dull it out. Painted the entire thing in ink then wiped it off gave a nice dull silver effect, more of a machined steel look.

[@davisbrubaker3933]

what do you think about the cr-10 s5? I'm buying my first 3d printer and want to spend some money to buy a larger one, but the cr-10 s4 is unavailable. i assume the s5 is the same as the s4 but larger? thoughts?

[@3DPrintedProps]

I've got a standard and an S4. I like the S4 a lot. I've heard that the S5 is hard to level due to the size of the bed. If you get one definitely get it with a bed leveling system like a BL touch. I really like getting machines from tiny Machines. They cost a little more but they add anything you need and its all tested. Also fantastic customer support. tiny-machines-3d.myshopify.com/products/creality-cr10s5

[@ryanmedici4746]

Do you put a clear coat on after you weather and scratch it?

[@3DPrintedProps]

A lot of people put it on right at the end. This way it protects the weathering. I like to do weather after the clear. This way the weathering can change over time.

[@landohanysz8314]

Your tutorials are very helpful and easy to understand. Im coming from germany and want to use this dry aplicator too what do i have to search for to find this?

[@3DPrintedProps]

Look for TAMIYA dry Weathering. They make different colored sets.

[@batuhanatamal]

Would the weathering rub off if we touch it after we are done with it? Is there a way to seal in and protect the weathering?

[@3DPrintedProps]

Yep, just add the clearcoat after you weather. :)

[@RaSeL]

Hey, thank you a lot of your videos and I appreciate your work .. I'm thinking about getting my own 3D printer, and I wanted to ask you what printer should I get? I know there are too many brands, shapes and sizes, but I want a printer that doesn't make mistakes or break so easily, something I can trust .. you know what I mean. Thank you in advanced.

[@3DPrintedProps]

It depends on what you want to print. If you are looking to do larger things like helmets and larger props then something with a larger bed would be best, like a 300x00x400. I like Creality. I still use the first printer I bought, its a creality cr-10. Here are some links to classes I created, if you are interested check them out and see what goes into the hobby. 3D Resin Printing: From Star to Finish bit.ly/2ZeIBbN 3D Printing: From Start to Finish bit.ly/2Nu91Uh

[@cosplayriverina4595]

What clear coat would you recommend?

[@S1uzhiko]

Are u up for hire like if I pay you thro PayPal or some thing and send a 3d model and asked you to paint whilst giving you a reference image on what colours to put where would you be able to do that?

[@3DPrintedProps]

Sorry, I don't really do commissions. I barely have time to get my stuff done. :P But thanks for asking! :)

[@Playboikaos]

Which red hood mask is this the v1 or v2 of the red hood rebirth

[@3DPrintedProps]

It's the V2

[@TrueChaos56]

Just straight up said “Screw the 6 feet rule, this thing’s going to look good from any distance.”

[@WntrSoldr69]

What’s the exact brand/time of clear coat you used for the Matte finish ?

[@3DPrintedProps]

Trying to find the can, can't remember off the top of my head.

[@untaimedemperr5649]

What did you use to print this?

[@3DPrintedProps]

I bought this helmet from Villainous Prop Shop

[@DividedStates]

It needs a voice modifiyer.

[@3DPrintedProps]

Oh, that's a great idea.

[@izzatirfan1995]

i actually prefer it not weathered

[@3DPrintedProps]

I know, it's tricky. I was going to leave it when I saw it, but I thought lets weather it and see. I like both, but yeah, that clean helmet looked great. :)

[@PoloHungary]

Next time we're it how look dude🤦

[@michaelconnolly8687]

Do you use a clear coat after using the Dry rub stuff???

[@3DPrintedProps]

No, apply my weathering after my clear coat. I know some of the weathering can then wear but I like that.
