NEW Robocop Midsection for my 3D Printed Robocop Suit!

[@russoj277]

Sorry about the avalanche! 🤣🤣🤣 It was a pleasure making a Robo piece for you my friend! I'm glad you like it. You've been an inspiration and such a wealth of knowledge. As I've said before, I never would have started this project without your channel and support. Hopefully more of your viewers are inspired to take up the challenge or build a non-wearable showpiece without the soft castings, as the case may be. Asen's model is amazing and it's fun to see it come to life. Cheers!

I totally need to get in touch with you about one of those parts. I’ve always wanted to print Robocop but I definitely want to learn about what files are the best to use, etc before diving in. (And I should finish Threepio and Iron Man!)

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Thanks for the generous comment Josh! I'm glad to be of any motivation for someone to go out and work with their hands and accomplish something. Keep trucking man!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Twonightscinema on CGtrader is the man your looking for. His files are the best for the suit. I need to finish my Iron Man as well! Not sure when I'll ever get to it.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

@@ChrisBoshProps has he updated the files a good deal? I saw a comment saying the files aren’t accurate. But that comment is from 2020

[@ChrisBoshProps]

@@WhereNerdyisCool To be honest they are the closest files to accuracy I think we'll ever get unless an actual 3D scan of screen used suit ever comes out but highly unlikely. The files are not perfect but they are very close. Once the suit is finished properly and completed the suit looks like it came right off the movie set. I personally think his files are the best that will ever and have ever been made available. I've owned a Bruce Hansing Robocop suit and built a Do3d Robocop suit and Asens (Twonightscinemas) files are far superior to those. I don't think he has done much updates and that comment from 2020 is probably from someone who was frustrated with the files because they didn't realize how much work it was going to be and just had to be a hater.

Stellar Awesome. I'll be watching for that video of you dressed. That's totally awesome 😎

Thanks sir!

Very nice Josh👍

Thank you kindly!

Are you going to watch the Robodoc: The Creation of Robocop documentary that comes out in October?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Oh yeah for sure! I think it will be very interesting.

[@dominicanblack313]

Bro that close line back breaker😮

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Yeah that was a move I was proud of creating.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Alrighty I totally need one. Talk to me, Goose!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

That's exactly what I said when I saw it haha even thought I already have my own molds. Thanks for the comment sir!

@@ChrisBoshProps fun build to watch. I’m still chipping away on Threepio

Nerdy just gained another subscriber! 😁

[@BouncekDeLemos]

Very cool, looks like it'll help prevent some pinch points. How heavy is it compared to the other?

[@russoj277]

The material type is the same so the final weight depends on how many batches/layers of FlexFoam-iT are applied. The material is very strong so I went with a relatively light thickness/weight. The risk with going too heavy is the inner circumference is reduced with each application of material around the midsection, so there would come a point when it won't fit over the hips/stomach. As Chris showed in earlier videos, FlexFoam-iT is very fluid when first mixed, so it's not easy to control the thickness throughout the entire cast (dare I say impossible), but applying several smaller batches is easier to control than fewer larger batches. I'm curious how heavy this one is compared to the other.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

My 2 part casting was a little thicker and slightly heavier but not by much at all. Not sure on exact weight. The way Josh did it is much more practical and better overall.

[@BouncekDeLemos]

@@russoj277 That sounds to be the best route to go. You'd also want the wearer to breathe too. Great and thoughtful technique. Thank you for sharing a bit of info on this!! 🙂

[@BouncekDeLemos]

@@ChrisBoshProps He did an awesome job on the seamless look as well.

I havent tried to look at it, but your address may be visible on the box. Love from the UK!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Haha its no worry I live in Texas and I own plenty of handguns, assault rifle and other rifles. :-) Someone would have to be pretty dumb to try something dumb in these neck of the woods. Thanks UK!

[@anaky70]

Is this part of the torso from the Do3D file?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

No.

[@darranstocks4385]

hey chris do you have a link to his youtube channel please :)

[@russoj277]

Hi! I'm a fan of Chris Bosh Props and have been following his channel since 2021. I really enjoy the creative process and like to put my own unique twist on the build where I can, but I leave the tutorials and inspirational videos in Chris' very capable hands. 😄 If you have questions about the one-piece midsection mold/cast process, I'd be happy to answer them!

[@darranstocks4385]

@@russoj277 do you sell the rubber parts at all

I need one for my costume In fact even my gloves He taking orders?

You'll have to hit em up! You could find him in the comments section.

[@6LOBO6]

@@ChrisBoshProps Thanks man 😊

[@russoj277]

I still have a mountain of work remaining on my Robo suit so unfortunately I can't even dream of taking orders to cast the soft parts at this time. Having been through the entire process myself now, I understand why I couldn't find anybody selling online so I wouldn't have needed to make my own pieces in the first place! haha 😂

[@the_chomper]

i dont have time to mold and make my own, i just want to buy the soft pieces. the 3d printing is a tiem consumer as it is.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I understand, time is definitely the most valuable aspect when it comes to building one. But hey chomp just remember you could always chomp a little bit at a time :-) no pun intended. Its definitely a marathon not a race.

[@the_chomper]

this is true. i gotta focus on one piece at a time. good thing im subscribed to this awesome channel so i have a walktrough on the soft pieces. ;)

[@russoj277]

That's exactly how I felt! Now I have another feather in my cap and actually find I do enjoy molding and casting non-Robo pieces on occasion. Taking on this project forced my hand and I'm glad it did, but casting soft pieces definitely kicks this project up a notch.

[@chrisojeda6263]

Hi, Josh, I’m infested in getting a copy of the mid section is it possible?

[@russoj277]

I still have a mountain of work remaining on my Robo suit with a deadline fast approaching so unfortunately I can't take orders to cast any soft parts at this time. Sorry about that!
