[@thestoryteller1807]

don't forget, there's a flaw in the welding just below the chestplate that you may wanna fix

[@jasonlange780]

Really hoping to see part two, I know what it’s like getting sidetracked and starting another project before finishing the last……

[@thelodbabyjaysus4163]

I like T-45 for nostalgia

[@ScytheNoire]

Guess this is a use case for the Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga, assuming it actually prints. Those build streams didn't go the best. :)

[@Deltazor]

Looking forward to the updates, I started my prints yesterday. Using PETG, printing the helmet now!

[@AndyRC]

Thanks for the video. Nice to see a video on this project. I saw you mention it quite a few times in your live streams

[@liefyaple8927]

I use pla. I’m doing the neck piece in flexible pla I think. I sand first then I use an acetone wood filler mixture and sand again. I’m on a elagoo neptune something.

[@liefyaple8927]

When welding I just mostly use my soldering iron and a lot of elbow grease when I sand

[@NortonTech]

Great video! It’s always fun to see a big project like this

[@designbydave]

Awesome project brother. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

[@Antstar12]

Looking forward to seeing more of this project. This thing is going to look insane once painted!

[@leesmithsworkshop]

Lots of really great tips and info in this video.

[@krisj1274]

Thanks for going over the splitting parts up!

[@paerrin1]

Super cool! Can't wait to see more!

[@trom2k]

There were a lot of good tips and tricks in here, loved the content. I don't really do any cosplay or building but great information on materials, acetone welding, filament rolling, etc. One of the better tips and tricks type videos I've seen.

[@G33kT3chstudio]

I love the work your doing. great work.

[@75keg75]

Can you dissolve abs in acetone then paint into area’s where you want to beef it up. So you try it on and it looks like there could be a future crack so you build it up with an abs/acetone wash… you could use broken parts to make your goo.

[@CanuckCreator]

You can, but the issue is the acetone also dissolves the area your applying it too, so need to be careful not to turn the area to mush

[@Antstar12]

You should be able to. I think it's a common process in the tabletop wargaming scene(Warhammer 40k, etc.) when working on models. You just mix waste abs with acetone or plastic cement(which is probably just acetone), get it to a consistency you like then you can apply it to areas that you think need it.

[@spacezplayz]

I’m getting into the 3D Printing scene and wanna know what free software I should use I’ll most likely be getting an ender 3 220x220x250mm what should I use?

[@keithwebster2005]

Very awesome build can’t wait to see the next video thanks for sharing

[@lukatukbusass7989]

Im just getting started on 3d printing but I want to try printing something you can cosplay and I really want to print something big and I’m not sure that an ender 3v 3 me handle such prints? Can I print cosplays with that printer?

[@liefyaple8927]

Making me a set myself for DragonCon. I need some help on making the paint look rusted and dirty

[@ItsThatGuyXander]

PERT 2222!

[@scarone10]

show, teach, interest. good luck with your project ,

[@markhenderson6587]

I was always curious how these props were made and where they were from. I am just about finished with 2 Voron 2.4R2 so I think I know what I will be doing with them now. I guess I have a new hobby.

[@iamnickdavis]

I saw Fallout and I didn't really care, but the actual content and info in the video is awesome. Glad you encouraged the watch in today's stream.

[@cpt_d_lux5385]

Update?

[@trogdor73]

Awesome video. The audio is a bit hollow???

[@eliyahmarchandtual2133]

Is There a suit ?

[@PokeTalesGaming]

anybody know how many kilos this took?

[@MrBranwoo]

I just started this also

[@christopherwestphal7149]

ERCFV2 I chose you!

[@steveby2622]

We'll just say you said "precautious" for engagement.

[@reprinted3D]

Same as "orientating," which is not really a word; it should be "orienting."

[@CanuckCreator]

hey,its a perfectly cromulent word

[@reprinted3D]

🤣

[@eliyahmarchandtual2133]

​@@CanuckCreatorHi, I wanted to ask you, how much will it cost you to produce all the parts of the armor?

[@ChristinaWintherLolk]

There's a slight problem with printing different colours on one piece. There are different compounds, chemicals, additives and dyes in all spools and some colored thread do not bind with another or it does, but the binding might be weak and it can result in the pieces breaking later on, this is different from brand to brand.

How dare you insult my T 51 power armor
