I wonder if this will becoming the 2018 version of a Fidget Spinner haha

[@kyle29857]

Seeing the blue design immediately makes me think of a Sonic the Hedgehog. And seeing the great scales me me think it would be a much simpler way to spoof chain mail or over lapping plate mail. Remember the British soldiers mail shirts in Braveheart?

[@UncleJessy]

Totally reminds me of Sonic as well... thats the new Build Series Matterhackers PLA... I love love love the color of it. www.matterhackers.com/store/l/175mm-pla-filament-blue-1-kg/sk/MMQFQZ5S?aff=7408

[@davidshorey1017]

Uncle Jessy Thank you so much for the giving me credit on my design. I use Cura { Extensions > Post Processing > Modify G-Code (Add a script) Pause at height}. Also cheap stiff Tulle has had strength issues. Nylon based mesh has been working well for me.

[@b2jutsao]

Thank you for finding this! I'm hoping to test making martial arts gloves with TPU and seeing how that holds up.

[@make.anything]

Great tutorial! I was going to keep experimenting with my fully 3D printed fabric, but this is soooo tempting I might change course :P

[@DymoPolska]

I think this way gives you so much more possibilities. Hope to see some update on your channel soon :D

[@UncleJessy]

Thanks man. You def should try this out. I bet you could come up with some wild variations on this. Also, shared your fabric printing video with Danit Peleg who makes her own 3D Printed fashion. Wild stuff

[@carlosclaee5656]

Make Anything // 3D Printing Channel do it .... I would like to see you experiment this on your channel

[@ViQRoy89]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZaQommfjal0pcU I was trying to get youu to see this, I'm glad you already have D..

[@davidshorey1017]

I am really happy you like my take on 3d printed fabric, I would like to see what you come up with in this style.

[@UncleJessy]

FYI just learned that fabric is called Tulle which is pronounced Tool hahaha ignore the guy saying it wrong throughout the entire video 😂

[@badrolljoe]

Uncle Jessy My wife (a fashion designer) was crying with laughter! I suspect she'll giggle for a while now whenever working with Toolie.

[@UncleJessy]

somebadrolljoe haha tell her the next time I make a Tech Pack & need to include Tulle on my BOM I will know how to actually pronounce it now. If there is one thing I excel at it’s making an ass out of my self on video 😂

[@badrolljoe]

Uncle Jessy honestly man, without her, I'd have never known the proper pronunciations for stuff like this. btw she's fully using this technique in her next costuming project!

[@kittenclaws5775]

I was gonna ask if you'd gotten it in Greenland!

[@lcollins3702]

Uncle Jessy It’s pronounced tool.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

I love my Thule roof racks and I'm stoked that they're getting into fabric-making!

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

This reminds me of the mats of tiles they have at Floor & Decor. The tiles are arranged in the correct pattern and adhered to a foam mesh mat of the kind you’d put under a rug to keep it from slipping on a wood floor.

[@crussty3d]

This is great! I can see some practical applications for this for prototyping safety gear, for example. Awesome stuff!

[@mona-1997]

I saw this done in project runway ! and loved it im so happy you went over this !

[@beckykastelz1648]

That is so fantastic, I just came from a Sci-Fi convention and this would so up so many peoples costumes in so many ways! Thanks for sharing!

[@DymoPolska]

This could be great for Thor "scale" armor from before Ragnarok! :D

[@WolfsHaven]

Tomek Dymek, exactly what I was thinking. That would be perfect for armor.

[@jamespray]

Hey, wait -- forget cosplay for a second and consider that you're basically adding nylon fiber infill to a PLA print. What would it do for raw part strength to do this multiple times for a single part, especially focusing on getting it into layers near the top and bottom, and even more especially with a less-flexible material than nylon?

[@UncleJessy]

That could be very interesting. Might be less flexible but provide more strength. I know people will sometimes back their prints with fiberglass. Could be interesting way to try and strengthen the print

[@NeoIsrafil]

Theres Kevlar filled filament already, maybe similar.

[@jamespray]

@@NeoIsrafil The fibers in impregnated filaments have to be short, and generally won't bridge between each line extruded from the nozzle. This is about laying continuous fibers all the way across the part -- fundamentally different, though not as convenient :)

[@VKeeper42]

for reference this code tells it to stop before printing layer X (so if you want it to print 2 layers then stop, X would be 3) it can also be easily altered to not only move x,y to 0,0, but you can also choose a value for z to get the print head to lift as well. you could also choose a value like 300 for Y (on the CR10) to make the bed more accessible. just be careful not to move anything.

[@WarlockOfWiFi]

Tested it out on medium burlap too (work with a haunted house and they wanted to know if it worked on that too). Worked great!

[@NerdGirlReview]

It’s fun and i prefer a stretch mesh because it’s a stronger fabric plus stretch, and people have had success with organza. Also tulle is read as “tool” 👍

[@NerdGirlReview]

There are also fashion instagram pages that have been making both entirely tpe garments and been printing onto tulle for years. The only think I haven’t figured out is continuing the repeat and shifting on the bed without 1) blocking the axis and 2) keeping the repeat/ print aligned especially with a large amount of fabric. The one gal who is making tpe bomber jackets is having a company print them I’d guess their print bed is big enough to just print each piece

[@Grellibe]

This hack is going to save so many crafters time, glue, patience, etc. I love it.

[@tatianaangeloni4790]

I LOVE IT!! It would have save my skin (where I literally glued props on) for some cosplays I've done ! I'll try it in the future, thanks

[@blushingbunny3074]

Oh my.. this is an amazing concept..

[@colleenforrest7936]

I've been wanting to learn how to do this! Thanks. I'm thinking some sort of armor with the hexigons as the base and claws over access points like shoulders and the like.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

This is awesome, and has me super inspired, so thank you!

[@Zeldur]

This is such an amazing, simple idea. Thank you for sharing this :D.

[@MrRoomba-Youtube-Sucks]

Nice idea! This might be pretty useful for other applications as well!

[@a-bird-lover]

I don't have access to a 3-D printer. I don't cosplay. And yet, I feel like I needed to know this, and feel better knowing it.

[@JBC_cat]

Wow, That is awesome!

[@JamesFraley]

Great video!!

[@Thatbrownguy454]

This is awesome!

[@jst1man]

That's brilliant!

[@ilyatulupov7138]

Wwow, amazing!!!

[@RoryOConnor]

Fantastic Idea!

[@origamikira]

that blue spikes remind me of sonic for some reason, would be nice to use that thing in an armor, maybe some monster hunter armor :D

[@Catchmyep3]

Very cool, thanks man!

[@leonply]

Great video! Have you tried this technique using power net, which stretches, as well as using tulle (pronounced TOOL), which does not stretch, to compare the end products in a finished costume? The power net-backed product would tend to mold much more easily to the body, as well as allowing easier movement when worn.

[@vizagebeautyspa4524]

this is toooo awesome!!!! thank you!

[@nathalie9329]

This is sooooo clever!!!

[@ezysummerscosplay]

That's awesome! Thank you!

[@JohnPorsbjerg]

this changes everything 😍😍😍😍😍

[@sapiosuicide1552]

Super cool

[@chrisrelhard]

fascinating effect, i'd be interested to see the same technique used with different materials and patterns. theoretically, you could do the same thing with individual threads taped across the printing plate. hell, wouldn't even have to be on the same plane if you had it pause multiple times.

[@matthiasskrzypczak7233]

Très cool ta vidéo ça donne de l'inspiration merci

[@MakeItClever]

Excellent!

[@lecxi_]

Thanks a lot for this video ! so inspiring :)

[@FlorencePiPropsandDolls]

Very useful!!! Thanks a lot

[@UncleJessy]

Glad you liked it!

[@chrissaint9371]

Amazing bro. Next Level up...

[@zallesyn4686]

This is amazing

[@catl7091]

I see people suggesting using chiffon and other sturdier fabrics, but those are usually more expensive. For lower budgets, the tulle like he’s using would work, and you could then reinforce the edges with interfacing scraps, twill tape, sturdier fabric scraps, etc, before sewing the tulle over another fabric. Of course, if you want this to last for multiple wears over a long period of time I would suggest trying to have a larger budget for any type of project that would require this technique.

[@beckykastelz1648]

Also your back ground is nicely dynamic! I like it =)

[@jo3lsilvaracidesigner946]

Great!

[@JaWsVR]

ok thank you for this video! I now have a great cosplay look but underneath the scales i have put a btf lightning panel and using a nautral clear filament to allow the color to flow out if the scales and put it all together and placed it on the back. but do you think you can do a video of my description?

[@GraceWillow]

THIS IS SO COOL!!!

[@bumfist88]

Thank you!

[@DesktopMakes]

Very cool! Looking forward to experiment with this. I'll be making a trip to Walmart.

[@3dpicks]

Awesome video!

[@UncleJessy]

Thanks man!

[@PKTEK]

Oh my God oh my God oh my God! Thank you for this! Now, off to the printer cave to make RWBY weapons and cosplay with this!

[@UncleJessy]

Do it!

[@Nova-Soul]

@@UncleJessy man, you're awesome lol

[@Waaagh40KRed]

Great video I've been looking for a way to customize a Hot Toys General Zod. For years since the figure's release, I've been bothered the lack of the House of Zod emblem. I think I will use method when I can afford both the figure and a 3D printer.

[@emmanuelcarretero5758]

It’s so strange how there are some unlikes... like the guy showed us how to make something cool, and the video was good quality haha

[@krislee3490]

How cool is this taking cosplaying to the next freaking level!

[@aPyroDesign]

I was kinda freaking out when I saw the tweet. This is such an ingenious way to make cosplay items. Love It. I'm going to have to mess with it.

[@averagejoe175]

Very cool, there is someone that made something similar on Cults combining chainmail and spikes/scales so you dont even have to put fabric

[@ASkewedView3D]

Awesome video

[@CrossbowROoF]

I have also heard of people having good luck with fusible nylon fabric. Print directly onto the fusible side. PLA will stick directly to the fusing polymer. ABS seems to have issues, though.

[@CrayzyFreakzzz123]

This could actually work with a flynet, and could be way more sturdy since those flynets are more sturd.. I wonder if I could pull that off :D

[@SerDerpALot2015]

Hi! What material would you recommend for wearable cosplay and props? I'm working with PLA+ right now and ABS is out of the question, small apartment.

[@RinksRides]

good tip, might be cool to do something like this in car.

[@steprockmedia]

That is so freakin' cool.

[@lexalford358]

This gave me an idea that I could make a pair of tank tracks for use on my power chair or a ex tank with a camera on it

[@jackmendoza5604]

The blue one you are holding seems like if you made it larger size, and strapped it to your head, you would have a really cool kind of sonic hair type thing, maybe.

[@Argofox]

Need to see a Spyro cosplay using this...

[@UncleJessy]

Haha I was thinking Sonic or Knuckles

[@CaveDDECanem]

Uncle Jessy or the orange haired huge guy from Street fighter

[@Buy-n-large]

Argofox yyesssss

[@twohillbilliesplay5683]

@Uncle Jessy, great video. The only problem I had with this is that the print head drug across the Tulle after resuming the print, is there some sort of way the script could be written to bring the print head up slightly then down to resume the print so it wouldn't ruin the fabric. Maybe I'm the only one experiencing this issue?

[@hairon6028]

i was wanting to make my dog a outfit , and well now know it will work and how . ty...nice video

[@laurelwelch6295]

I may have to try this technique for patterning the Winter Soldier arm :D

[@AnimeBoyVFX]

Very nice

[@geonet3965]

I need like a thousand of those 3d printed hexagon thingies for a Crysis cosplay. And a thousand more just coz I like the way they look

[@MrGillb]

you could like set up an array of sensors pretty easily using this if one were to simply leave/make some small holes in what'd be the housing for an individual sensor. or with some glue something simple like a small but flexible solar panel array that'd at least look kinda cool

[@gc4hydro11]

Thanks. Gives me an idea for my son. He wants a sonic costume. Appreciate you sharing.

[@okashi10]

So cool...

[@Apostate_ofmind]

omg, its genial!

[@BlenderGeek]

Quick question. Will I need to remove a layer from the print in order to accommodate the fabric, or is the fabric thin enough that it will not make a difference?

[@jamescrawford8538]

Okay thats cool

[@johnbunce2232]

Are you able to pause xyzprinting software and move the print head?

[@JackC92]

Id love to see a 3D printed sonic the hedgehog costume! Cheers for the video bud!

[@kyle29857]

Rural Mods UK I didn't see your reply till I posted. Glad to see in not the only one with Sonic issue!

[@JackC92]

Kyle Taylor great minds think alike mate!

[@lekey9000]

Immediately thought of that when I saw the blue spikes, would be awesome!

[@RedOnRye]

Tulle is pronounced like "tool."

[@SNO3R]

made me giggle XD

[@UncleJessy]

Nothing like making a video and completely screwing up the pronunciation of something 😂

[@kazolar]

I was confused, I know tulle -- but no idea what tooley is -- for half the video I honestly thought it was some material I never heard of.

[@ninja13b]

Yeah I giggled at that. No worries Uncle Jesse just wait until you get to the crazy fabrics like lame and jacquard

[@MarshallJBrown]

Tooley

[@edbe7385]

A couple things come to mind as to what to make rock texture ala Thing or Korg, cartoon hair, Predator dreadlocks or at least a the roots to connect the longer strands to.

[@UncleJessy]

Oh man some sort of a rock creature would be cool using this technique

[@onngroovecdboomboxtransfor2723]

thanx

[@mgmarbut]

what I want to know is how well this would work using a less delicate mesh like what is for some sports jerseys

[@vincentloupien6819]

hi @Uncle Jessy Juste a question about cr10. I try this one, put the script on gcode. All worked perfect. But when i click on resume print, my printer dont react... any problem on this? Any suggestions? Thanks a lot community !

[@manukrafter8506]

Can't wait to obtain a 3D printer for myself so I can do this! I really doubt that guys who do printing for me will print something like this. :D

[@mrburns366]

As light as a feather and as hard as dragon scales! ;)

[@jlann8243]

This would be awesome for drag

[@randyscovill5671]

Using Cura if I wanted to add the G Code to pause after the 3rd layer I would place that code in the start gcode? or finish g code?

[@jamesbrine4351]

Awesome!!!!!!..... I cannot wait to test this out. Quick question, can you make a video based off your settings that you use when printing a Cawl ????? Also, when I seen the blue scales I immediately thought of Sonic!!... You could also do a dragon ball Z characters hair

[@divalea]

Oooo, statement cuffs and collars.

[@speedcoretrax9988]

300th comment woooo!!! Also awesome video!

[@victorbrown4915]

Loved you're video just one thing the fabric is called tulle as in "tool" you were close though! I love the idea was thinking of a jacket with those ideas being used.😃

[@victorbrown4915]

Sorry just read you found right pronunciation.😬

[@spikeydapikey1483]

OMG you scalped Sonic!! Would be awesome to make some scale mail cloaks.

[@Elijahman5973]

I also made that and I used them on my dragon projects

[@KimchiYeo]

can you print this on cotton instead of the flimsy fabric you used ?

[@hassevanloenen9887]

this looks great but how do you know the tulle can survive the heat?

[@PauloRicardo-pp4ml]

I did it on my printer and it worked. I would like to know how you put the fabric parts together and fix them to the clothes?

[@HKYT649]

cool

[@paulb4334]

How about dragonscale wig? I'd love to see that. Shoulder pads would probably be easier though. Anyways cool technique.
