~ QUESTION FOR COSPLAYERS ~ Have you started 3D printing or are you just thinking of getting into the hobby, share with us here!

[@darthlego3664]

Hey, yep Villian's Vengence cosplay here...although, dont seem to cosplay much these days. I 3D print where I can...not a big fan of foam. I really love 3d Printing helmets. Once again, thanks for an awesome video, with some fantastic tips for beginners. Kudos :)

[@AstrocyteCosplay]

You should totally get back into cosplay more!! Just curious what is your reasoning for 3D printing over foam? What helmets have you made? Appreciate the feedback. Let me know if there is anything specific you would love to see on the channel.

[@darthlego3664]

Havent cosplayed much because I live in rural Qld, far far from conventions and there is not much call/limited events for cosplaying. I like 3D printing over foam, because its a lot more sturdier...My foam smithing skills arent the best. Im a BIG star wars fan, so have printed a number of related helmets (compulsory Mando lol), Mando Armour, Stormtrooper, Tusken Raider. Ive done Monty Python Helmets, Judge Dredd, Soundwave, Ironman, Sqiud Games, Alien USCM, Skeletor, Skyrim, Bender, just to name a few...and lots of props too

[@AstrocyteCosplay]

Wow thats an impressive list of helmets! Also love Star Wars and signed up to a patreon to get a heap of models so hoping to get to those in the future.

My 18YO son is a nerd and in to cosplay, D&D, etc. We got the Ender 3 and I've been blown away at all the cool models/figures he can produce! My passion is custom car building, and I need a custom part....so I've gone down the rabbit hole of "how to" use OnShape and Cura. Just found your channel today, and now I'm completely consumed with what and how you do all this! Please keep sharing!

I feel like now there is this lovely yearly holiday tradition of MatPat causing chaos in the kitchen which some unhinged recipe😂❤

[@doomedreaper4212]

Great video! Im wanting to get into cosplay and this video is definitely getting referred to as I go!

[@AstrocyteCosplay]

Great to hear! Definitely ask any questions that you have 😊

[@ttonygreybeard]

Look at reviews if you decide to get a printer then do more research is what I recommend then do it all over again....Oh the fun of filling then sanding I love sanding(Pfft!) , another great vid Trace can we get to see you in action making stuff soon? I have run out of inspiration cookies 😉

[@AstrocyteCosplay]

Very good tips here re: printers. Haha yeah I love sanding too 😉 I did spend some time over the weekend sanding some Moon Knight Cresent darts so that will be coming soon ☺️ there are a lot of projects currently in the works.

[@dekebell3307]

Great idea...it'd be super cool to see how you assemble and finish out projects!

[@myceliumforall619]

No joke, thank you. Just found the 3d printer to buy and now I have a better idea of how to start. 🤙🏽

[@AstrocyteCosplay]

So glad to hear! Definitely ask any questions as you go. What printer did you decide to buy?

[@myceliumforall619]

@@AstrocyteCosplay thanks! I'm getting the Bambu p1s

[@AstrocyteCosplay]

That's awesome. You won't be disappointed! I have a P1P now aswell and it's so fast. Absolutely loving it.

[@OperationSpider]

I am thinking about investing in a printer. How much noise does an Ender 3 make? Deciding between either the Aquila or Ender 3.

[@AstrocyteCosplay]

You definitely should! With the Ender 3 noise it's mainly the fans that are loud. I wouldn't have it in a bedroom but in a separate room isn't bad. Aquila is just a clone of the Ender 3 and a bit cheaper. I haven't used one but heard good things.

[@MissyMona]

I'm actually a 3D artist, I want to use a 3D printer for 3D concepting.

[@AstrocyteCosplay]

Wow, that sounds like a cool idea!
