ANNNNNND I'm sort of back. After 2 years of radio silence, which is stupid, I have decided to start these lovely pieces over anew, almost 100% 3d-printed. Just so much going on, no idea when that will be, but I will probably start a new thread with reference to this one.

Holy crap, it's been 3 weeks with no updates! Sorry about that. I made small progress but then hit big snags. Good: I had the red LEDs for the ear dishes redone by a professional - my original setup was too janky. Bad: I'm having a serious problem mounting the ear dishes to the helmet...

I will share a couple new photos though... A view of the Buster from the underside (well, the side that will be facing "inward" when it's on my arm), where you can see the door's hinge and the clasp I just added today to secure it closed. Also, the smaller set of barrels in place. Still...

UGH. I am having a hell of a time with this this weekend. - Bigger boot rockets failed twice during printing. I am confident it'd be fine once the printer gets past the bottom 20% of the design, but I did put a lot of fiddly bits in there. Perseverance is needed. MMMMaaayyyyybe a slight...

Oh that's great to know, thanks! I still have to get my ABS printer calibrated and working well - test prints have been hit and miss - but between that stuff and acetone vapor, these things should finish up very nicely. Considering I have given myself a way more generous deadline on this, I am...

Re: Scopey's Buzz Lightyear Build LOL - fantastic! Technical q: do you still have the pattern for the lower leg foam, and would you be willing to share? I'm trying to work out my boots/gaiters for Mega Man and think I want to end up somewhere between the form I already have and the form you...

Re: 3D Printer roll call (speak up if you have a 3D printer & are open to collaborati I've had an XYZ DaVinci Jr for a little over a year and have loved almost every minute of it (admittedly, it took 2 replacements almost out of the gate, but it's been a champ since then!) - that does 149mm^3...

That's friggin' gross, but it's SO AWESOME. I did NOT expect the WW series to be as fascinating as it is. just, wow.

I actually don't remember which was my first Godzilla movie but it *might* have also been that one! I fell in love with the Toho kaiju all over again back when Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters was a gamenight staple between me and my friends, about 15 years ago... =0)

Re: Scopey's Buzz Lightyear Build Looks awesome so far! One question: Why the all caps "COD" instead of the regular word "codpiece"? (genuinely curious, maybe i'm missing a joke)

I would LOVE to do a MechaGodzilla someday myself, so I'll be on the lookout for your eventual thread! You said you've started working with 3d file making; have you gotten into 3d printing? PLA should be completely nontoxic, and can be glued up with non-epoxy adhesives pretty well (with your...

Quickie update: 2nd 3D printer is in the house; will be able to print in ABS now (can be smoothed more easily) and can do larger print volumes. Think I'll upsize the jump rockets for my boots, once I get it all set up and test prints out of the way and such.

Hi grase - welcome to the RPF! I don't know anything about the character as I don't play LOL, but looking it up online I found a couple images Looks like a typical white ninja setup with some cool addons! Luckily, the addons seem like the type of things that will be fairly easy to make...

This is going to be so cool =0) I'm a huge steampunk fan. Love to see this done.

They might be not great at responding but that is really the only way I can think to get your questions answered. My Heron X1 took LOTS of emails back and forth but eventually it came out great. I would assume they would do your x2 insets in any color they have available, since they make all...
