Thanks for watching!
I wonder if this will becoming the 2018 version of a Fidget Spinner haha

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@MordecaiV]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZDFaWiAa7hnh5Y

[@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

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

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

[@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.

[@Grellibe]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@J.Kenobi]

Love this idea. Though, I'm concerned with that fabric's durability. It would be better to use a silk chiffon, as it is fantastically strong, and equally as porous. Good stuff! Keep it up!

[@davidshorey1017]

I agree I did a strength test video on my Instagram @shoreydesigns with silk chiffon

[@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!

[@laurelwelch6295]

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

[@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.

[@lcollins3702]

Uncle Jessy It’s pronounced tool.

[@mona-1997]

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

[@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.😬

[@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

[@crussty3d]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@krislee3490]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@gc4hydro11]

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

[@DesktopMakes]

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

[@scifi.ginger4148]

This is amazing!! exactly what I was looking for

[@blushingbunny3074]

Oh my.. this is an amazing concept..

[@MrRoomba2321]

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

[@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.

[@beckykastelz1648]

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

[@JohnPorsbjerg]

this changes everything 😍😍😍😍😍

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@meky0]

my girlfriend is losing her shit over the fact that you cant pronounce "tulle" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZDFaWiAa7hnh5Y yelling it from across the house " ITS TUUOOOOLLL " she also said the technique could revolutionize prop making for costumes in movies and low budget tv series

[@UncleJessy]

😭😂🤣

[@jeninympho]

Im with the girlfriend driving me nuts!!

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@mrburns366]

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

[@SamChaneyProductions]

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

[@RinksRides]

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

[@Elijahman5973]

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

[@vizagebeautyspa4524]

this is toooo awesome!!!! thank you!

[@paxtoncockrell]

Obviously, with some planning and patterning, this would be a fantastic way to make Thor's chain mail sleeves.

[@hairon6028]

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

[@Zeldur]

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

[@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.

[@divalea]

Oooo, statement cuffs and collars.

[@spikeydapikey1483]

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

[@jst1man]

That's brilliant!

[@paulb4334]

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

[@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

[@sapiosuicide1552]

Super cool

[@RoryOConnor]

Fantastic Idea!

[@matthiasskrzypczak7233]

Très cool ta vidéo ça donne de l'inspiration merci

[@MrsEmina18]

Darn... I really need a 3d printer of my own.. this would be so perfect.. i already have ideas for an armor gown

[@Brotherofthe4thCompany]

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.

[@kperttul]

Those look awesome, but can you do it smaller scale? Maybe like a fish skin?

[@Thatbrownguy454]

This is awesome!

[@JamesFraley]

Great video!!

[@nathalie9329]

This is sooooo clever!!!

[@JBC_cat]

Wow, That is awesome!

[@jlann8243]

This would be awesome for drag

[@FBPrepping]

Insert little titanium hexagons in between the hexagonal pieces and you'll have a great bulletproof fabric. (But good luck cutting the titanium)

[@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

[@3dpicks]

Awesome video!

[@UncleJessy]

Thanks man!

[@steprockmedia]

That is so freakin' cool.

[@chrissaint9371]

Amazing bro. Next Level up...

[@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

[@morlanius]

@Uncle Jessy Been watching "Make anything//3D printing channel" much?

[@Catchmyep3]

Very cool, thanks man!

[@zejamlegende]

SANIC COSPLAY

[@GraceWillow]

THIS IS SO COOL!!!

[@lecxi_]

Thanks a lot for this video ! so inspiring :)

[@MiggyManMike]

I actually have a print bed with laminated fabric for a print surface :D

[@ilyatulupov7138]

Wwow, amazing!!!

[@Gimebooze19792]

I instantly thought about a Sonic the Hedgehog cosplay. Or maybe some sort of Monster Hunter World armor.

[@UncleJessy]

That blue is perfect for sonic

[@jordanbaird8681]

Hey, Uncle Jessy! I was looking through MyMiniFactory and found "Sauron Armor - Helmet". I think that would be a great video to do sometime!

[@linneaanderson3592]

Good idea actually

[@zallesyn4686]

This is amazing

[@KyleDanner]

Sonic the hedgehog came to mind instantly

[@UncleJessy]

gotta go fast

[@UvThe1st]

me, a sewer: TULLE!! also amazing idea!!!

[@MakeItClever]

Excellent!

[@gabe5499]

Sonic cosplay? Gotta go fast? 0:16

[@jo3lsilvaracidesigner946]

Great!

[@mgmarbut]

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

[@FlorencePiPropsandDolls]

Very useful!!! Thanks a lot

[@UncleJessy]

Glad you liked it!

[@EvilRobin1]

SONIC HAAANDSS!!! COOOLLL!!!

[@beansupplier1786]

Maybe you could make the hexagons reflective?

[@andreabruno1528]

So's that you know, both net and tulle come in LARGE sizes. You can buy it by the yard, generally 60" wide and up to 20 yards long...

[@JoshuaPritt]

Would this be a good way to put the iron man suit parts together?

[@UncleJessy]

Hmmm trying to think how that might work. Initially I’m thinking elastics with clips would still work better

[@hassevanloenen9887]

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