I hope you read this comment it would be cool if you put small rechangable roman candles tube in the middle of the repulser to shoot a plasma shoot a update to the suit or a wrist fire shoot gadget for magic

[@Dat_Thing88]

Can you get 3d printed stuff wet and how durable is it and is it ok to put my meat in it if you know what I mean 😏

[@tigo0314]

I am just about finish with my daughters ironman suit for Halloween. Thank for all the videos from start to finish has been a great help.

[@heresjhonny702]

That led for the eyes was a game changer to me, thanks!

[@catermeep1100]

I was about to comment requesting this video lol love ur vids keep doing what you do!

[@JonathanCase12345]

I remember using tons of tap lights in sooo many projects, really cool to look back and see where I was vs where I am at with my knowledge of electronics. So thank you for that!

[@diamondgigabite9065]

Frank you are amazing! You’re the one who inspired me to get a 3D printer and your videos have helped me so much!! Thank you

[@telmacastro7375]

I dont know your channel for to long but it didnt took me much to realize that you earned the amount of subscribers you have. Stay strong, build strong.

[@CdrCARN]

Frank. Your videos and streams have given me the correct information to proceed with my project. Congrats on the growth of your channel. Well done and thank you.

[@livmor3442]

Been rocking with this channel for a while. Definitely a favorite. Thanks as always for the helpful content for us that love this hobby.

[@QS-si3cq]

Love your channel and all the content. As a big fan of the comics way before he became as popular as he is today, I started my first Iron Man suit back in 89 with some moldable art store foam when I was 14. It wasn't pretty, but included some internal fans and push/tap lights. I later went on in the 00s to high quality Bat and Spider suits, before selling it all and taking a long hiatus. Awesome to come back to doing research on doing a quality Iron Man suit today and seeing all of the available tech and best practices available. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@chrislmink]

Awesome video as always. Learned a couple of things, but congratulations on the 520,000 subscribers 👏 I can't wait to see what lays ahead when you go full time, it'll be off the chain buddy. So glad I've been on this journey with you you've taught me so much and for that thank you Frank for all you've done for this community ❤️

[@KurtisJoseph]

I just realized one thing. Making Ironman suits is a hobby in and of itself, and 3D printing is just a part of it. I have tons of these suits to print out now. I doubt I will do them all in a lifetime. I need to get a CR 10 S Max just to print Ironman. If I don't Batman and Red Hood and Dr. Fate will feel neglected. You teach the electronics and motors well. I really appreciate that now that I am dipping my hands into THIS specific hobby. This ain't just printing and finishing. To scale or not to scale? That is the question. Something is telling me to maybe look at the length of specific parts to allow for ease of movement. Starting my first one Monday. Oh my gawd, all this slicing is going to be impossible to organize. Lol!

[@jonathansteinhaus2475]

Nice work on the suit

[@rotorrabbitfpv]

Love your channel!

[@noahtech3663]

This is the one part of cosplay that is hard for me so thanks for sharing

[@AlfonsoSalaverria]

What gauge wire do you use to connect everything?

[@muuricane_]

Thank you! This helps me out in my cosplays a lot ☺️✨

[@projectprinting2191]

This helped a lot! Electronics is where I struggle ( my father is an electrican so that helps) but i will be re watching this many times for when I update my lights in my suit 👍🏼😎 thank you for this

[@douglasrobitaille7122]

Lots of great info thanks.

[@mikecaratone7072]

Awesome video as always! Congrats on the 520k subs and being able to dive into this as a full time career. Can’t wait to see all the future content! Keep crushing it Frank!!

[@chipr7074]

i bought a 10,000 dollar suit,, thought it would be perfect spending that much cash, not so this suit has never worked properly ! So your vid is of great help a great place to start ..

[@TheWolfThatRuns]

Another great video frank. What is the website that you got the files for the suit? Could you send that? Could you also send the link for the gloves? Those are sweet!

[@robertoadorro]

Awesome!

[@MrCowboyYeeHaw]

It’s when you see these amazing things people do with 3D printers you wish you weren’t broke.

[@MinimoGaming97]

Congratulations and going full time! Love the videos i have been really enjoying this hobby and because of this I'm gonna be making a lot more fun things!!

[@perrywheeler4455]

Hi Frank, thanks for the awesome video! is the arc reactor just clear PLA?

[@FranklyBuilt]

Clesr plastic

[@BanishedBuilds]

you can remove hot glue a lot easier by spraying Isopropyl Alcohol on the hot glue before pulling it off

[@matthewviars6349]

Can you plz do a Spider-Man suit

[@shreygupta1914]

Great video. How do you light the eyes and still see through?

[@Eythor20]

Hi frank! Would one alisha board be enough for the helmet motorization, LED eyes, Neo pixel arc reactor and hand repulsors or would i need two seperate boards to power the helmet and body?

[@tigo0314]

Hi, I can't seem to find the Google drive folder with the code for the arc reactor.

[@pacoryu]

Love your channel and everything you share, thanks for helping us make our builds. I have a questions, whats the USB battery pack you use to power the electronics?

[@chrisdawson8340]

could you do shang chi's rings that go on the arms that would be amazing!!!

[@patchtech3d]

Hi Frank! Love your channel! Like the idea of the led board you used for your Arc reactor in your suit, can i ask what did you use to diffuse the light, I've tried led diffuser sheets but you can still see the leds through it. Any tips would be very appreciated. Many thanks

[@patchtech3d]

ok so figured it out. Looks awesome!

[@Bobisfunny3887]

What do you use

[@CarsonCreate]

Hey! I have no idea if you would see this or not but I’m having trouble with my lights but only because they keep heating up so much the come undone and unsolder and it feels like I’ve tried everything to stop it but nothing has worked yet so if you have any idea please let me know

[@voulx3562]

Hey Frank, I’m in the Army and my MOS is a 91E. The MOS deals with additive and subtractive manufacturing and surprisingly at the end of my 5 1/2 month course there was 3D Printing and that would be added to the course at a later time. Since then I’ve been hooked on 3D Printing and you have inspired me to Print things for myself; I am about to start printing my first Ironman helmet. Thanks You for all the videos you post. Would it be alright if I messaged you on FB about a future project that I might do that seems pretty interesting ( well, at least for me) ?

[@imDADDY375]

You should build Links sword from Legend of Zelda. And thank you for your service, I had no idea you are in the military

[@DannyMcHugh]

I see the Power supply link in the video description, but what cord/how do you connect it to the dollar store 3-pack push light?

[@Zero-xm3mw]

What paints and sanding equipment do you use for you 3D prints.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Check the rest of my channel 😁 tons and tons of tutorials

[@Zero-xm3mw]

What websites do you use for 3D models because I want to 3D print in general but have found a liking for helmets.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Do3d, Instagram, cgtrader, Etsy

[@Isidore22]

I am struggling with 12v versus 5v power consolidation. I can't figure out how to power multiple lights with one power source/bank without light dimming due to amp output limitations. My EL tape and wire lights are noticeably dim when I connect more than one. I am trying to use rechargeable rc car batteries from Amazon now, but need the right connector to test that. How do you get around the amp limitation on power banks or your battery source?

[@FranklyBuilt]

RC batteries or LiPo batteries aren’t really the best for this due for that reason. Have you tried wiring them in parallel vs series?

[@ImmortalReaver]

Great video! I've done lights in my Halo and Genji cosplays and I'm currently working on a Master Chief build that I'll be using lights for. My light work was barbaric before but it worked. But I can also recommend A23 batteries to people if they need a 12v source. I use A23 batteries to power my lights and I have it so simply that there isn't even a toggle switch, just pop the batteries in or out. They last the entire weekend at a con no problem.

[@sigmachad1177]

Quick question what's the strongest you can make your prints ?

[@kashey5362]

Hay frankly built I was wondering do you think I could print you red hood helmet with my ended 3 pro printer

[@FranklyBuilt]

Yeah you can

[@abranramos1170]

Hi u have a store for the stl files

[@KarsonEnglund]

Does the ALISHA board control the color or do I need to program them first?

[@WhaleCows]

so I want to make a suit but its kind of an obscure character, and I couldn't find any files anywhere. could you recommend anyone i could commission the model from?

[@joshuakirkland2747]

I’d hit up Walsh 3d but not cheap I’d assume hard work

[@soggytoast3111]

What do you use to diffuse the LEDs?

[@theultimatespring9017]

Hey I am right now planning making an iron man armor and I've been confused on the helmet like besides the face plate do you have to put the helmet together like meld it or do you 3d print it completely

[@TheEvanight]

What is the best pla to use for lights? I’m doing a Godzilla cosplay and his fins need to glow blue but I don’t know what color pla I should use that is transparent enough for the light to shine through

[@alvialamgir4016]

Hey frank! In the video you mentioned you’d drop the file you use to code the neopixel with crashworks but I don’t see it. Is there a file that allows me to code the helmet and arc reactor lights to work off of one Alisha board?

[@navirj3103]

I have idea, you make power armor from fallout Pacifically, t-60 from fallout4.

[@daremo50na76]

I’m not even close to lights yet but I have a question already. Are your hand lights setup individually or chained to come on at same time? I’d like to set them up so one or both can be activated but separate from each other.

[@FranklyBuilt]

They’re individual

[@Void_pineapple]

I just watched the first video on wiring the helmet, but you never say in the video what plastic you use for the moving parts (arms, etc) I assume you use PLA for the outside of the helmet though? Love the videos btw, cleared up all my questions other than this one.

[@mikeygarcia1638]

You should try to 3D print the mark 5 iron man helmet and make the face plate able to do what it does in the movie

[@IJASB]

Hey Frank, I'm just curious, when ordering the Alisha board mark 6 I have the option to get the PENELOPE aswell. Do you know what it does/ if it is a worthy purchase?

[@FranklyBuilt]

Penelope helps keep the usb battery packs alive and on

[@IJASB]

thank you so much

[@dungeonsandsorcery8773]

I would love to see you make the fusion sword from FFVII Advent Children with the swords detachable, the main sword expandable and the smaller swords able to flip the handles.

[@2fwelding842]

Why not hollow out under you pads, remove infill and inner panel after the fact. Even if only 1/4 inch that fits all small parts without using any inside space

[@peebs2424]

Can you recommend any online learning for coding these neopixel lights? I coded in high school but forget most of it. A lot of the KZbin videos I’ve found are 3-4 years old now. Also I couldn’t find the google drive with the code your using for your suit in the description section?

im building an iron man mk 85 to sell to raise money for myco heroes uk,s free cancer medicine project! this is going to help me so much bro thank you! i have autisum so i strugle with things techy lol, i cant thank you enough and you get my sub for sure

[@darc0615]

Hey man! Amazing content as usual. I want to start planning out my mk85 lights to sketch it out and see what I need. Do you only use 1 crash works board to run all the lights on the suit? And if so which one? Does that also run the servos and eyes or is that a separate board. And what type of power do you need to run all that? For the looks of it in the video, it seems like it's one board and one battery running it all. Ty for the help

[@FranklyBuilt]

Yep you just need one board. I show it in the later stages of my MK85 series

[@darc0615]

@@FranklyBuilt thank you! I'll check that out

[@darc0615]

​@@FranklyBuiltI went through a bunch of videos and the playlist for the 85 but I don't see it. I see the last video of the series talks about the spikes and one board running the chained lights, but doesn't go over the main board running it all or type of power. Would you be able to tell me which video you were talking about please? Also here you mentioned posting the codes you use to run your lights on a Google doc, but I don't see it on the video info. Is it somewhere else? Thanks again for all your help and all you do, you rock man

[@someonerandom1159]

Legitimate question, what software should I use to begin 3d printing, I’ve tried things like tinkercad, but I wanted to use something that gives a lot more freedom and customization when I’m designing and creating

[@FranklyBuilt]

Fusion360 or blender

[@Etj1013]

Hi! Love your content man. I have a question though. I'm brand spanking new to 3d printing, like I haven't even gotten my printer yet new, and I was wondering how I would spot if something went wrong in a print. There are obvious things like gaping holes where there shouldn't be, but how do I spot the more subtle stuff, and how do I even know if it's a mistake or not? Hope that makes sense.

[@mtflims4092]

Hey Frank! I’m getting into 3D printing, and I am heavily considering buying an Elegoo Neptune 2s. The biggest things I’d want to make are standard sci-fi helmets. Do you think this printer will serve me well?

[@Whatisyourmajormalfunction]

I would say if you are on a budget than yes. I bought my 3d printer to make helmets too, so I bought a cr-10 v3 cause its bigger and could make most helmets in one go

[@FranklyBuilt]

Yep all the time

[@noelperez3]

I’m currently fixing my fookoos 3d printer cuz it busted, anything fun you think I should start to try and print?

[@overboss111]

Hey I have an ender 3 and the filament keeps bubling up on the nozzle does anyone know what I should do

[@sampicken4713]

I’m hoping to make an iron man suit and I was wondering, would clear filament at 100% infill be a good way to scatter the light from the led and make it look like the whole thing is a light source instead of looking like one led from behind it. Or is it smarter to do what you did with the infinity stones but with a clear or coloured mix?

[@FranklyBuilt]

Nah that may be a little To solid
