Tips & Tricks for Sanding 3D Printed Cosplay - Making a Motorized Iron Man MK42 Helmet (part 2)

[@LivingLambeaux]

I'm with you on the sanding first before priming thing! I've tried it and it gives me the heebie geebies. Just makes the sanding job that much harder!!

[@VoxelWorks3D]

Great tips!

[@snowwolvesproductions]

I need that attachment to your sander, the bottle? Thanks for the videos. BTW, I've used acetone to dilute the spot putty in order to get a smoother cover over small imperfections and reduce sanding. Thanks for sharing tips!

Very awesome and helpful video! 👍👍👍🔥

[@plentifulprops3d]

Thanks man!

Great tutorial. I have already a life size bust 3d print of mark85 . I notice you have add magnets? I had the same idea to connect parts of this bust with magnets so can be detachable if needed . Can you tell me how you open those holes for the magnets?

[@itsmemato6088]

Most helmet files have holes already for the magnets. However if it doesn’t I’d use something to line them up and drill half way through or use a soldering iron to melt a spot into the plastic

Awesome guide dude 🤙🏼

Thanks!

As always, a very good and informative video. Love your videos veeeeeeeeeery much. A few questions: which files do you use? which two Ironman helmets are they? and would you do a full Ironman suit tutorial? how to build a whole suit? like a video series ?

[@plentifulprops3d]

The unsanded helmet is the MCU-style modular iron man helmet by Vek3D and House of M, and the other is the MK42 helmet by Walsh3D As for a tutorial for a suit, I’m not sure if I’ll do one that is step by step, but I’m starting a build vlog of my MK46 helmet very soon :)

A tip for the hardener is to do one pea sized amount for every loonie sized amount of body fill

[@LordNerfherder]

These are fantastic units of meassurements that I prefer over weights or size meassurements normally used.

[@PixelForgeLab]

What helmet is on the left screen ? what mark is it ?

How do you get rid of the dust on the print so it doesn’t come up on the primer

[@plentifulprops3d]

When you’re sanding it doesn’t really matter if there’s dust while you prime, but if you’re about to paint, you can use a micro-fiber cloth or a tack-rag to wipe away the dust right before painting. I hope that answers your question!

@@plentifulprops3d yes it does thank you love your vid’s

[@davidcooper574]

Do you usually install the magnets before you start processing?

[@plentifulprops3d]

Ideally yes, that way you don’t ruing the paint while installing if the holes are too small. The only downside is if you have spraypaints that have any metals in them, there will be noticeable dark spots near the magnets from them attracting the paint.

[@davidcooper574]

@@plentifulprops3d Thank you for the quick reply. About to start processing a Helldivers print that uses magnets.

[@carlpowers7291]

Is the Ironman in the background all 3-d printed?

[@plentifulprops3d]

Yup!

HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THE BONDO FUMES?

[@plentifulprops3d]

I just did it in the garage with the door open to ventilate

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

I was expecting some mentions of safety. I didn't see safety glasses, masks for sanding and certainly no gloves for doing the Bondo work.

[@plentifulprops3d]

You’d be correct, terribly sorry!

[@stuartanderws5705]

SANDPAPER GRIT No in the US and Europe are not the same Number. Europe I would say start with 600, 800 to 1200 grit. Any scratches that you leave with the 600 you will need to remove with the 800 and so on. I did like the video onist.

[@alexm7166]

Who’s files do you like to use?

[@plentifulprops3d]

This helmet was by Walsh3D, but for suits I rely on Johan3DPrintMaster

[@mayurwagh7399]

I thought you’d talk about motorising the helmet!?

[@plentifulprops3d]

I will in the next video, I just wanted to focus on sanding in this video.

You can never have too many electric sanders...........

[@gordonrain7152]

I think I have SEVEN...but then I'm a retired Architect who has heavily embraced woodworking. Lol, I also have NINE different routers, including the dedicated routers in my tables...
