I'd print them out with a 25 micron Form 3 printer and make the molds. Will send you the molds if you want to sell them on Etsy or whatever. Just want to make these myself. They are beautiful.

That stuff looks amazing. Thanks for the pointer. I've been using iDye Poly for visors. It works OK but I always have problems getting an even tint. Will try the tail light tint next time.

LOL! I love it!!!!

In mid-2019, I took a commission for a custom Proto Man helmet. I was supposed to deliver it at MAGFest 2020. I missed that date but thought I just needed another month or two. Then COVID hit and the world turned upside down. My Makerspace closed down. All the cons were canceled. Even leaving...

Honest question because I'm old. "I have the mask square rooted," Does that mean you imagine the mask?

How do you glue the foam sheets together? I've been using 3M Super 77. It works pretty well but sometimes the layers separate. That makes finishing the final piece difficult.

Are you selling them? Halloween costumes?

Yeah, but free shipping!

I once accidently poured a double shot (forgot to divide my shot weight by 2 before measuring part A and part B). The resin got hot enough I could feel it through the mother mold. Inside the part there was a "wave" about 1/2" thick where the resin snap cured. That was using 57D which is...

Dragon Skin can be brushed on to skin to create makeup effects, prosthetics and other applications. But it would be too floppy to work as a glove mold.

I'd caution against using Dragon Skin 10NV. It's not made for brush on mold applications. I think it would be hard to apply, since it's a bit thin. Also, it probably won't be stiff enough to make a reliable mold. Rebound 25 is designed for brush on molds. It works very well. It's very thick...

At my Makerspace we use a converted pressure tank from a spray paint system. Here in the US, you can get one that's almost ready to use for about $100. You might need to modify the connectors to fit your air compressor. 2-1/2 gal. Air Pressure Paint Tank

So there is no such thing as white synthetic dye. Looking for a White Dye for Polyester Maybe try vacuum forming clear PETG and putting a mist coat of white spray paint on it.

I would have sworn they made iDye Poly white. But I don't see it now. Sorry. There is ecru which is off white. Would that work? If you do find it, make sure it's iDye Poly. It's made for dyeing plastics. Works great on polyester fabric and PETG sheets. Regular iDye (or Rite for that matter)...

For visors, i use clear PETG and tint it with iDye Poly. You could test this prqeqttqy easily and cheaply. Since there is no light source inside the mask you shouldn't need too heavy a tint to obscure your eyes.
