  • don't forget, there's a flaw in the welding just below the chestplate that you may wanna fix
  • @jasonlange780
    Really hoping to see part two, I know what it’s like getting sidetracked and starting another project before finishing the last……
  • @Deltazor
    Looking forward to the updates, I started my prints yesterday. Using PETG, printing the helmet now!
  • @AndyRC
    Thanks for the video. Nice to see a video on this project. I saw you mention it quite a few times in your live streams
  • @ScytheNoire
    Guess this is a use case for the Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga, assuming it actually prints. Those build streams didn't go the best. :)
  • @NortonTech
    Great video! It’s always fun to see a big project like this
  • @liefyaple8927
    I use pla. I’m doing the neck piece in flexible pla I think. I sand first then I use an acetone wood filler mixture and sand again. I’m on a elagoo neptune something.
  • @Antstar12
    Looking forward to seeing more of this project. This thing is going to look insane once painted!
  • @paerrin1
    Super cool! Can't wait to see more!
  • @designbydave
    Awesome project brother. Looking forward to seeing this come together.
  • @liefyaple8927
    When welding I just mostly use my soldering iron and a lot of elbow grease when I sand
  • @krisj1274
    Thanks for going over the splitting parts up!
  • @trom2k
    There were a lot of good tips and tricks in here, loved the content. I don't really do any cosplay or building but great information on materials, acetone welding, filament rolling, etc. One of the better tips and tricks type videos I've seen.
  • @keithwebster2005
    Very awesome build can’t wait to see the next video thanks for sharing
  • @75keg75
    Can you dissolve abs in acetone then paint into area’s where you want to beef it up. So you try it on and it looks like there could be a future crack so you build it up with an abs/acetone wash… you could use broken parts to make your goo.
  • @spacezplayz
    I’m getting into the 3D Printing scene and wanna know what free software I should use I’ll most likely be getting an ender 3 220x220x250mm what should I use?
  • Im just getting started on 3d printing but I want to try printing something you can cosplay and I really want to print something big and I’m not sure that an ender 3v 3 me handle such prints? Can I print cosplays with that printer?
