3D printing has really taken off quickly. I remember it being relatively new just a few years back and now it's everywhere. Anyways, I actually used regular sculpey from walmart and it worked fine, when I baked it and everything. The only reason it snapped for me is because they were tasm 2 lenses and therefore thinner (and I messed up in making that spot too thin as well). Tasm lenses being smaller and a bit thicker would be more structurally sound id think. This is just off experience though, I don't really have knowledge on sculpting and clays and all that. Otherwise I would've figured out how to curve the lenses before and not after
. Another product that I've used is Instamorph(thermo plastic beads), you should check it out. You might find some use for it.
Wow, she did an incredible job.
I would choose whichever is stronger, which is the Premo?. The TASM1 lenses don't look like they have any fragile or thin parts so you might not have much trouble there. Make sure you have a nice, even structure and you should be fine

Well this stuff is basically unbreakable and you can reuse it an unlimited amount of times. It's as easy to use as clay, just warm it up in heated water and shape. it is a bit more expensive, but for what it is, it's pretty well priced. I just thought I'd mention it--It's good to know about these materials in case you need them later
As far as the webshooters ive been doing wiring diagrams, thats been slow. The faceshell i had a bit of an issue purely because, when i made it out of cardstock and covered it in masking tape, the masking tape i used was rubbish it kept peeling off. So now the faceshell is still soft and bendable and you can see the tape. Ive been sanding that down and working around it, and from todays work its more stronger and firm but still some crack so im gonna replaster and continue till desired shape. As for the frames i received the Sculpey today so ill get those done for tomorrow. Another issue was that my gold spray had rusted up, probs because cap wasnt on properly, so i found a nice copper/gold spray in stores for about £4 ($4.50) and matches the movie colour!. Will post more in a bit!

You're making a cap shield as well? Awesome! I can't wait to see the shooters. I've seen a couple formulas being thrown around, but most of them turn to foam when shot out. Also the CO2 tanks usually used end up making the build too bulky :/. Hopefully you can manage something more practical, even if it's not strong enough to hold up a car
