SUBSCRIBED!! This looks like what I am looking for. Only one serious concern, you should never heat your plastics ABS, etc. in an oven you use for food. The gases given off during heating are very toxic and can be transferred to the food at a later time.
scoring (scratching shallow lines) along the direction you wish to bend the plastic, so that the cuts are inside the curve, helps prior to heat shaping it. with these regions fusing and relenting to the shape, you can better retain your shapings. Furthermore, to paint easily on the picklebarrel material, scuff it's surface significantly via sandpaper or better, rotary sanding bits. great work! I'd love to see you work on these pieces.
i know im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me
@Mayson Avi Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
We have a specific paint and plastic store here in BC Canada. Might have to look around your local stores to find it. But it would look like this link. buyindustrial.ca/ocart/index.php?_route_=ABS-Sheet-Haircell-Finish&search=abs
I usually make the patters first using thin camping mat I get from the dollar store. I place the foam on the body part (example forearms for bracers) and cut out the shapes. That way it fits the wearer perfectly.
I tried coloring with leather dye on plastic. It works. Might solve ur paint problem. Its scratchproof, so black leather dye could be a good foundation before an acrylic chrome finish.
This video should have more views... Good job. I'm planning to do a samurai armor this next three months. Any advice? Sorry to ask, but by 2,75ºF you actually mean 275, am I right? Sorry, I am not native English speaker
Would this ABS Plastic armour be able to be worn with a real chainmail shirt? Or would it be better to wear a gambeson with it? Would the chainmail cause the plastic to scratch and break down? Hence the gambeson?
I know this is a year later but, as far as I know for 3d printing it's recommended a well ventilated area for ABS so my guess would a yes, it produces fumes.

Very helpful and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

@Mayson Avi It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Kyler Nolan no problem :)
This video is EXTREMELY helpful and is the only helpful one I've found. Would anybody know where to purchase ABS plastic online by any chance?

That is a great Idea. I will give it a try.

yes 275F is good. you can go lower to 250F but just takes a few minutes longer (depending on your oven)
Look who i found lol late night armour vids

This is awesome
Do you make big round should pads? Kinda like a foot ball player, I can't get the plastic to bend the right way
Nice
Great stuff. Is that 1/8" thick sheet?
How do you make your gauntlets?
Very nice.
Rock on!
Thanks dude. Let me know if you have any questions.
Do you make armor for people?
is it possible to make a helmet out of abs?
Absolutely not SCA legal or safe. I had a family member get a pretty bad concussion from just boffer weapons. I wouldn't risk it tbh.
the armor will successfuly defend against cat scratch
does the ABS create fumes/smells
I know this is a year later but, as far as I know for 3d printing it's recommended a well ventilated area for ABS so my guess would a yes, it produces fumes.
Instead of paint, try using a stain
