Absolutely!! 👏 hit me up on Instagram and I’ll happily follow you! I love seeing people’s builds

Awesome! I’m currently working on a second Spartan and have learned a lot, feel free to drop me a message on insta if you ever need any help with your chief:)

Thanks for the tip! I’ll try that on the body armor :)

Thank you! :)

Very well, I had taken a little break to make some other things and started Carter around 6 weeks ago (roughly). I've been mainly printing the DMR and finishing the Helmet - The Helmet is almost almost done and has had a lot of new things put into the build, and it will be a video on it's own to kick off the new series! :) I've been posting progress on my Instagram @DraconiumProps

The Helmet is from GalacticArmory and the Main Suit is from NerdForgeDesigns on CGTrader :)

Thanks for the info! I’ll check them up and brush up on my imperial terminology:)

@DraconiumProps OK glad to help out, it's like lot of things until you find out or someone tells you, etc. In the original Star Wars trilogy the original costumes / props were very wonky and most not straight at all on close inspection, for example I was given an original Empire Strikes Back screen used Hoth rebel rifle and blaster back in the 80s as my uncle and cousin both worked on the original films at Elstree studios, my guns were all over the place the gun barrel wasn't straight nor was rifle butt basically it didn't look great up close as it wasn't ment to be seen in close up as everything back in the 70s and 80s was sculpted and cast by hand, they didnt have computers to make things nice and symmetrical as they do now. you may or may not know there were two types of stormtrooper helmet in the original trilogy "Stunt" for more background type shots with a piece of green tinted film for eyes, with a wide grey teeth section, and "Hero" helmets worn by Luke and Han to be seen in close up shots that have nice plastic bubble lenses with a smaller the grey teeth area, thats much smaller than on the stunt helmet and painted with much more care for close up shots. All the best 👍

Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much :) Plenty more to come!

We're taking a look! :) Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you! :) Next up is Carter! i'm hoping it can be a lot more streamline with the lessons learned from Emile!

Just standard 5V LEDs wired to a button and a USB power bank :)

Hey, are you talking about 3D files or a set of finished armor? :)

@@DraconiumProps a set of finished armor like the armor you guys made except of my own custom design and sorry it took me so long to reply

I don’t know if any specific websites, but I would look around for an experienced prop maker that does commissions and reach out to them :)

Thank you! That’s the method I’m going to try on my own Spartan armor! Definitely the way to go

Thank you!! Hopefully you like our other videos :) With Plenty more to come!

That’s a great tip! We may have to revisit this as a weathered prop using that technique

Glad it could help! If you need any questions answering please drop us a message either here or on instagram! :) we reply to them all and do our best to help!

Also… I’ll shortly be releasing a series of longer more detail videos making Spartan armor from scratch! So stay tuned for those coming soon :)

Thanks dude! Be sure to send us any pictures if you do make one! :)

Thank you! 🫡

Thank you! :) They're definitely a lot of fun! I do have my eyes on a First Order Stormtrooper helmet eventually! You should definitely give it a go, would you be doing the red streaks from the opening scene? :)

Definitely, then you know what to expect! If I was to do this again (which I am) I would keep trying everything on over and over again and give yourself plenty of time and rest runs!

Me too dude... me too 😭

Thank you dude!x

Thank you!

Definitely, 95% of the time I go with tree. It has to be a very specific reason for normal at this point lol

@DraconiumProps the only reason I use normal is I know your not going to see where it's been and fir a speed print but trees ftw lol

It's a satisfying process isn't it!

That's scheduled for February 29th!

THE GULACTIC UMPIRE

@@DraconiumProps 3 STRIKES

Thank you!

Vacuum formed acrylic :)

Thanks so much! It was painted in Silver, it was a personal request from Sam who the armor was for :) Almost like a custom coloured Emile!

@@DraconiumProps that makes sense now ok well great job

Thanks man!

Most of the printing was 4 walls, 15% Gyroid infill :) I’d likely go higher on parts with higher stress though, possibly 5-8 walls! Everything was .2 layer height also :) Thank you! I’d love to see your Emile progress

@@DraconiumProps what about supports especially for the helmet and chest pieces, I can't seem to get mine to stick to the build plate and stay strong enough for the the armor piece?

For supports I used 10% density at around 45 degrees :) mainly tree supports I wasn’t super concerned with saving material, but everything was supported nicely! I used brims and rafts sometimes too to help with adhesion :)

Looks comfy!😂

@@DraconiumProps what’s the website you got it from?

It's not mine, I just found the picture on Google!

@@DraconiumProps *RAAAAHH*

It’s all worth it in the end they tell you!😂 I was just watching your Acolyte helmet build last night!

@@DraconiumProps For real? holy hell, that's what's up. thanks for all the support!

You too! I've been wanting to find room in the pipeline for one, an amazing job you did on it!

Nice! Which cosplay are you printing? But yeah... some parts... SOME. PARTS

@@DraconiumProps I am in the process of creating the Blue Centurion from Power Rangers Turbo. I have the parts printed out, but I'm trying to prep the parts for paint while the weather is still warm. I also need to create the resin parts for the lights. All of this is part of stage 1. Stage two will be focusing on the programming stage where the lights will run in a certain order using Arduino software and Arduino based hardware.

Sounds incredible! Huge Power Ranger fan myself so I’d love to see that! If you drop us an instagram DM id love to follow you and keep up to date with your build!

@@DraconiumProps Sure. I will be posting the process in about 2 days. I am planning on making the resin parts soon.

Looking forward to it!😁

It’s a learning curve for sure, but definitely a good option! I’m going to be releasing a video in the next month or so comparing vacuum formed visors against resin visors :) Feel free to drop us a message on Instagram, I’d love to see how your security helmet turned out

Thank you! 🫡

Thank you!

It’s a difficult armor set for sure! But we learned a lot from it, drop us a message on Instagram if you have any questions :)

Thank you! There’s going to be plenty more builds and tutorials for people to follow along with themselves!

@@BMS_Private we are building stuff that will be affordable and effective for newer cosplayers and prop makers👌

A lot of people do use an oven for vacuum forming :) with my kit I got some heaters though

@@DraconiumProps o, thank you very much! Hope you hit many views.

the aligorithm works in mysterious ways, still figuring it out myself! But happy to have you here! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it :)

@@CompassaeLearning If you like the amour build not saying what's gonna be another suit but I hope your a fan of Helldivers😉
