I Drove with 2 IRON MAN SUITS to a Con! | Here's How It Went....

[@andrewbell9565]

Giving us an inside look/behind the curtain view of what it's like for cosplayers to go solo was a great idea. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Frank, your a trooper doing that by yourself. I was about to say I can't believe you were able to put those suits On and off yourself...but glad you were able to get some help. Thank you for the great video and transparency on the pros and cons of traveling to cons...no pun intended.

[@PX-BJ]

Hey, Frank! Been loving these informal vlogs. Glad you pointed out the importance of having a set of tools to repair your suits on the fly. Hoping to see more from you! More power to you, sir.

[@Lonyx24]

You should make an iron man helmet for one of your dogs it would look cute i think😂

[@hansencustomcreations5355]

What a real insight to a con and being alone with a ironman suit . I think this was a good thing to show on your channel I appreciate the effort it probably took you. You looked drained after that weekend nice work 👍👍🇨🇦

[@3DPrinterDoctor]

You Rock! Thank you for taking the time to record what you could and giving us a look behind the scenes. It is also awesome that you share the good with the bad. Very informative for everyone who is looking at making costumes and attending cosplay events.

[@goatelope7539]

Great insight into solo cosplaying a con. Going to NYCC 23 was daunting trying to figure out how to get in, get changed, and store stuff. Love this video

[@ThatGadgetMatt]

Every time I open one of your videos, there’s always super positive community feedback and it warms my heart.

[@ThatGadgetMatt]

Also, 600 views in half an hour is looking great! Congrats!

[@FranklyBuilt]

Thank you bud! It makes me super happy to see people’s reactions to all of this. Everyone has been great

You hit area that I wonder about all the time. Traveling with the suits can't be an easy thing, love to see what you do for flying with them.

[@zacksager9033]

[@reprinted3D]

Cool video, and the best part? PUPPERS! Your dogs are adorable. Thanks for giving us a peek into your larger world.

[@thetarangster]

Cameo from Maya was the highlight 🐶

[@dfrost666]

Loving these different videos about the suits. SO awesome to see! Are there any events in NC that you take your suits to?

Your independent woman comment had me in stitches!!

[@ThomasGile]

Hello Frankly Built my name is Thomas and I am a 12-year-old 3d printing hobbyist you have been one of my favorite KZbinrs and a great inspiration. I have a problem though I bought an ender 3 v2 on eBay and it is a total lemon so my request is if you have any printers that you don't want or use could I have one?

[@PasswordincorrectStudios]

day 4 can you please make a wizmaker p1 review im getting one in like a week i want to know is the the best option this will be my first 3d printer

[@goatelope7539]

[@LVRBOYBBY]

Hell yeah! I’m totally using this as a reference for when I travel with ironman! It was amazing meeting you and taking our quick photo! :D

[@brendanvds1789]

hey I love your videos and prints, can you make a video about getting a sword the right size so that it fits right in your hand

[@DirectCollision]

OMG, here I was wondering how I would transport all my armour stuff with my Genesis Coupe... and you have one too! 🤣 Great video, very insightful.

[@squadie1]

[@JamesAsubzero]

Nice job doing it all by yourself, that is a task.

[@noahpowers24]

Truly awesome… Looks like you might need to upgrade to some nanotech soon to travel more conveniently, glad you had a good trip!

[@hoppymchopperson6888]

Hey Frank. I was wondering if you had a recommendation for the filament I should use for helmets?

[@lukerussell3782]

I finally broke groundwork on the chest plate on my ender 3 for the MK 39. Also off topic but I just did my first shave. And didn’t get a single cut!!

[@camtron1967]

This is useful because I had to take my suit in the car and I was so worried it would break in the trunk since it was loose. So I will definitely use packing paper and a box or 2 next time

[@rlh_arw]

Jonathan has been the goat for helping out and taking your photos ! glad to meet you in person at Katsu . Cant wait to meet up in the future .

Really enjoying that new intro

[@natepark8359]

Hey Frank. Do you have any suggestiojs/tips on completely stripping paint from a 3D print? I have a pretty large and expensive resin print which has a bit too much paint covering it, obscuring some details. I wanna restore those details by getting rid of this excess paint.

[@percyjackson9501]

[@daboysproduction8566]

Yo brother big fan you expired me to 3d print so thank you!

[@ndizon619]

Awesome video. Perhaps you could build a new Iron Man suit that can be easily put on and removed by yourself. It is a challenge and I think that would be awesome content. Hope to see you at WonderCon.

[@masternpns6277]

What do you do with your broken or failed 3d printss

[@pb5216]

Maybe add some cameras in your suit so you can get some POV footage. Won't help with selfies but might help a little.

[@lboxcomboz]

[@Cykogenix]

Hey Frank. I have a suggestion for you. I request you to to make a playlist on how to be a 3d artist. I remembered that you had made a few videos about it. I want to become one.

[@EvilSpyBoy]

Emergency Repair :) I actually designed a kit for exactly that after talking with the cosplay repair peeps many times at my local cons. I designed a kit that fits in an altoid tin (I then made a bunch RIGHT before the pandemic and all the cons shutting down for a year or two). I still have.... 70ish left I think that I just put on my Etsy. Completely not helpful for armor repairs, just general cosplay repair. But I did like hearing emergency repair kit for cosplay :D Edit: Also separately I've thought a few times about making a wrist gauntlet for putting my phone in like the MKIII rocket launcher a few times. You could probably go a step further by adding a flip up so you can do wrist selfies and there are Bluetooth buttons that you could use (or if you have an android, double tap the power button to go auto into picture mode followed by a press of the volume to take the picture, timed of course after flipping it up to in frame)

[@seekertosecrets]

The one thing about being an handler is that unless you have something planned out for that weekend or day, you are being somewhat of a bodyguard of sorts. I don't have experience in being a handler. I can only imagine what they do during con events. I once saw a person who actually wore the very first Mobile Suit Gundam suit on and he had a handler with him. Unless, you have an incentive for a person to be a handler that's not your circle of friends, you are going to have a tough time. I wonder if there's a way to use a bluetooth device to issue a voice command to actually take selfies or video recordings though an app?

[@severstal81]

Definitely useful, thanks Frank! The logistics on either end of the floor. When you had to drive to the convention center, did you just use other people's hotel rooms to suit up? Or is there usually a staging area that could be used?

[@FranklyBuilt]

I always try to get a room in the hotel but when I can’t yeah. I try to ask to borrow someone’s room

[@FutureStayAtHomeDads]

genesis coupe?

[@Lusanagi]

This was pretty nice to see and learn since I haven't moved 3d printed props to far away cons. I just have a question though: this time weather was "ok" fir the PLA, but how do you deal with hot weather so it doesn't deform? (I had a sword I printed just a little bit outside and after I went to get it some parts had dips because it deformed due to the heat/sun, so I tend to prefer printing in abs but I've been printing some props in pla lately because I haven't enclosed my new corexy)

I don’t leave them in the sun usually haha I actively avoid it

I def feel the whole missing out vibe, I've come to learn its super convenient to book the actual con hotel, so you're always around the action. Even if you know someone staying at there, it'll be helpful to suit up there and etc!
