I dunno you spend years telling us how to get rid of texture on foam and now you're putting it back! It's madness I tell ya, madness! Joking aside that is a very clever idea Bill!
We just can't be trusted! :P
Here's an idea to help make your press a bit more user friendly when stamping plates like that. Print your plates with a small lip, say 1/8" wide all the way around. Then on your upper wood piece put a couple of thin clips on each corner to hold the plate in place. That will hold it in place so you aren't trying to get it aligned all the time. You can put a guide mark on the edge of the wood to help you center things in the press as well.
Thanks for the suggestions!
that's ingenious!
Thanks!
Hey jake
@@punishedprops I wanna know if you guys are still working on that 3D Flex glove with the Robot Shell?
Collaborate together?
I recently discovered you guys, and I can’t express my gratitude! I love those kind of crafts, and I’ve been working on Hela’s headpiece for Halloween. Most of the videos I found on YT are rather useless, but your videos are AMAZING! Learned a lot! Thank you so much!
So glad we could help!
Nice to see a foam build again.
Always a good time :)
Nice touch with including both manual *and* specialized tool methods for so many steps. I always try to explain to friends about how the specific tools are nice, but not always "essential" to the process.
Granted, they make life easier, of course. But like anything else, understanding the raw method can make you better utilize the tools.
Absolutely! Everything done with a power tool can be done by hand, it just takes longer and might be less precise :)

This helmet reminds me so much of the pod-racing gear from the phantom menace! I love it!
Totally!
Fantastic! And the roller idea is next level!
Fun, right?
It’s going to be a great week, know how I know? There is a fresh new Punished Props to kick things off! Thanks guys!
Aww thanks so much!
Hi brian
Bill and Brit in videos remind me of parents trying to entertain their kids and I love it so much!
We're just trying to entertain ourselves XD
hey nice to see this technics i used with an adjustable double roll i've 3D printed, juste need to adjust the gap between roll depending of the piece thickness, heat the EVA and then pass it through the roll and boom !
The tape sticking out like it did really reminded me of the side fins from a plesioth helmet from an old monster hunter game lol. Great video as usual. I've been looking for something like those stamps to texture with. Thanks for including the stl's for that. Much appreciated. 😁
I printed a deck box for MTG in gold filament, then wrapped it in black leather and stamped a name printed in resin into the leather. Worked well!
Oh cool!
need to try this technique with our large heat press. Usually we use this for shirt printing. We can now emboss all the things!
Oh that would be super cool!
Great vid, I have been doing leather crafting for little over a year, been trying to create a makers mark. Never considered 3d printing a stamp, always wanted to get a 3d printer but till now never had need.
Right on! Super glad we could help :) I know you can also custom order them in brass - our employee Paige does leather work and ordered one from this vendor on Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/198582860/customized-brass-stamp-for-vegetable?ref=shop_home_feat_2&bes=1
Such a sweet technique!!
It is JUST the coolest, we're having a blast messing with it
For the love of God I always think your at the top of your game guys and then you just surpass it again!!!!
Aww thanks so much!
So I had an idea. What if you print a roller with the texture and make a roller press with inter changeable texture rolls. I made a crude drawing while at dinner.
I'll install it to you to show you what I drew.
....insta not install
That way with the roller it woukd give consistent pressure and continuous pattern laying. It gets rid of the possible heat taking away the pattern and not being to line up correctly with each press.
Funny that you say that, because that is a common trick that modelers do for wargame terrain, like cobblestone streets or brickwork walls!
That would be cool!
A stamp pattern to do faux-chainmail would be fantastic. I might try to whip one up myself, but I'm not sure I've got the skills to make it look good.
Oh that's a cool idea!
Oh nice, been playing with Lasering textures for stamps since it is quicker than printing.
Ooh that's fun too!
You might want to look into how things like perler bead boards connect. Adding those style tabs to your patterns would allow you to cover large areas in one go but still be modular for storage. Maybe heat the surface, put the big pattern on, and then roll it with a weighted roller?
Clever!
The foam stamping is great and all, but those stained glass spray paints are my big take away. Those would have been nice to know about a few projects ago.
Aren't they neat?
This would be perfect for a commander keen helmet
Totally!
Bill, the texture on a pistol grip would be perfect for this!
Totally!
@punishedpropsacademy - Leather worker here, if you properly "case" the leather you will end up with a cleaner and crisper image. Casing is soaking the leather, then allowing it to dry back to an almost dry state (only the top side is allowed to dry, by leaving the bottom in contact with a marble). This allows the corium and flesh side of the leather to remain damp, meaning the grain (outer surface) is drier, and able to take a much crispper impression.
Woah cool, thanks so much for sharing that info!
@@punishedprops Not at all, I got lucky and met a local who has been doing the stuff for 2 decades. If you all have any questions about leather, please ask! sooo much of it isn't quite as clear as it could be.
Another awesome video! and hilariously, 3279 is actually the postcode of a place I used to live - WANGOOM in Victoria, Australia!
Woah!
@@punishedprops It's a small world! (although I wouldn't want to have to paint it)
I love it when you see a tool or a technique that you never saw or thought of before and you have that moment of "how did I just never realise this was a thing?!" That masking tape/paper tool looks so useful!
Thanks for taking the time to create, film, and share!
It's such an exciting feeling! Thanks so much for watching :)
With the amount of fiddly hand cutting y'all do you should look into getting a cutting machine like a Silhouette Cameo. I've found so many uses for mine, and I use it more often than I expected to. Mine will cut 15" wide by I think 8 feet or something. I think it could be a lot of fun for y'all!
Edit: doh. I saw you use the vinyl cutter literally as I hit post!
Yeah we love our vinyl and laser cutters! Sometimes it's just fun to do the fiddly bits by hand :)
Great idea! Try oak woodgrain and lizard scales. Dinosaur skin and alligator too. Oops, too much. ✌
We included some wood grain in our first stamp series!
YESSSSSSS! A new video! This makes my month!!!!!
Aww we're so glad to hear that!
this is really great. The simple helmet pattern has been elevated to lofty heights by the stamps. That chrome is very sneaky.
Thanks very much!
How cool is this!!!!
Thanks so much for watching!
This is awesome!
Thanks so much!
Sweeeet! That turned out great!
**haha @ 40:57 - Me thinks that your respirator is not sealed properly........Or......maybe it is......
It's too late for fumes to make us weird, it already happened XD
If your on a budget I also find cookie cutters can do wonders. I used a scale cookie cutter and with some extra sanding it came out 👌
Hey that's a great idea!
Omg I'm so gonna do this
Heck yeah!
Brilliant! Genius! Next level! Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thanks so much for watching!
You could get the stamps made in metal and use an electric heat pad so all you would have to do it put in the foam and then flip a switch and it would heat and cool automatically
True!
Thank you for your message of encouragement on my new TH-cam channel. It’s really helpful.
You're so welcome!
Love the vids
Thanks so much for watching!
I would love to see this used to make something like ZEMO mask!!
Thanks for letting us know!
I for one like the pitted porous look on the helmet it looks kinda like it was a rusty piece of junk that was shelved and then restored and put into service again kinda like what the us military did with the m14
Oh yeah, that's a good way to look at it!
Also so happy got to see Britt in the reflection of the visor... Hi Britt
Hello!
This is so fucking cool! This would save so much time and blades.
Right? We're so into it!
Try using the emboss tool, it might work.
Oh maybe!
For larger pieces, print multiple stamps and glue them to a board.
Good idea!
they make foam texture rollers for things like diorama making, it would be cool if you made some custom ones!
Yeah I don't know how well it would work since it requires a lot of pressure
Kinda like the ah ha moment when we learned VFX mixed with SFX is the way to go. Foam + 3D printing ... Bingo. Thanks for opening anew door !
You're so welcome, thanks for watching!
I like the texture on the blue foam it looks like cast metal (like cast iron)
Oh true!
Hey Bill! I just wanted to pop in here and say you have some fantastic rewatchability. I saw this when it first came out, and it would be awesome to see you revisit this idea. Maybe do those rollers you were talking about. Love your work!
This type of stuff reminds me of my older brother. He was hard core with it. He would go as far as taking fiberoptic lines and individually light the window port holes on humongous Battle Star Galactica models in his dinning room! Then again you would you expect from a hoogy shop owner and the creator of the 501st Legion Storm Trooper Squadron Chapter in my city of Baketsfield. LOL, I miss my super nerd of an older brother. RIP 2015.
Is it just me or does bill give off "maker dad" or "cool uncle" vibes
😎
“It’s going to be SUPER DIRTY and AWESOME” Things only prop makers say... 😂
Pretty much XD
Awesome!.... SNAKE SCALES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool huh?
What seams?! I didn't see no seams! 😉
Classified Seams
Hey Ted! Came across this while working on a Wolverine build.
Saw you used super glue and a "little sprits" of something. What is in that spray bottle? (And what brand of super glue is that?)
If only you had those 3D printed in some kind of conductive metal like copper. Then you could just set them up as a die in your press and heat the plate up with your heat gun, would work way better i'm sure
LOVE this, time to make some stamps.
Also pores are good for a worn look, I think its nice on a project like this that is kind of grimy and dirty. A super smooth paint job can feel a bit of
Very true! Thanks so much for watching :)
love the 70's Sci Fi style of the Helmet , like the old Figures from Adventure People of Fisher Price or Space 1999
An amazing idea! I love that you demonstrated the leather work option as well. This has so many applications for surface finish!
It's really neat!
Hello I just bought your head form template and can’t find a video to help this beginner figure out your method of templating help!1
"Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them." -Obi Wan Kenobi- A New Hope
Here’s a suggestion why not put magnets in your stamps so you can attach it to your press so you swap them off or make magnetic holder made of wood with four hinged legs that wrap around press.
Oh that's a neat idea!
@@punishedprops thank you. I got the idea while watching the video because I noticed Bill needed that there must be a way for him to heat up the foam and not have to keep placing the wood on top of the stamp every time he uses the press.
I'm really happy that you kept your cyberpunk caution emblem, that was one of my favorite parts of that build
Yeah me too!
"I don't know what it is, but someday I'll use it"
if I had a nickel for every time I said that i could buy your foam smith books out of stock
Like when stamping the foam, it heat seals it....maybe preheat seal the foam not being texture stamped as well.
Nice. So I assume you could heat seal it before stamping it?
You effectively do when heating the foam so it takes the stamp
Bill use a bucket of hot water to warm up your plastidip cans for better atomization and less blobby
I just realized..Since you added the texture, you can't heat form the pieces..That had to suck lol I know first hand (as I'm sure many others do as well) how annoying that is to do.
The helmets colors remind me of ikea
I can see it!
Cool idea. As a refinement for the continuous pattern maybe you could print the texture on a cylinder then roll it along the foam.
Yeah we thought about that but I don't know how to model one - yet!
@@punishedprops In fusion 360. Make a cylinder, make a sketch for the pattern. Then 'Emboss' the sketch onto the cylinder face. Apologies, Just watched again and you mentioned you'd already thought to use a roller.
I kinda don't like the straight line texture, it makes it look like cardboard
I want to see a workshop tour and or an entire invintory review of all your amazingly created projects and props
We have several that we've shared with our Extra Credit Club: punishedprops.com/extra-credit-club/
If you don’t have a press...run over it with your car or use the car jack to press it.
Printmakers have a rolling press which would make it easier to do larger pieces. Using that combined with something like the heater element from a vacuum press might be very efficient. Another option would be to use what Frame shops use. Frame shops often have large machines used for dry mounting which will use a vacuum and heat to dry mount artwork. If you happen to find one for sale in your area I'd check to see if it can reach the required temperatures.
Yeah that would be cool!
With all the foam you use I am surprised you don't own a cheap Chinese CO2 laser, it can cut the foam and engrave it with pretty much anything and various depths and textures.
We have a laser cutter! We just wanted to experiment with other ways to add texture that don't involve cutting the foam
I’m from nine months in the future. He never uses this technique again lol😀
It'd definitely be possible to make a cool roller, I've used something similar to impress a cobblestone pattern into some Milliput for use as a miniature base. I think rolling it over a larger expanse of foam would be pretty difficult, though, maintaining the same pressure all the way through would take some practice - and of course heating a big area at once would be tricky
Cool!
please try make the model of the rail gun in Arifureta from commonplace to wolds strongest
Thanks for letting us know you're interested in that build! We have our current schedule worked out, but there could be room for this kind of video in future plans.
YOU GUYS ARE SO AWESOME!!! Can you guys please make the Tablet of Ahkmenrah from the Night At The Museum movies. I have never seen anyone make that prop before!
Thanks for letting us know you're interested in that build! We have our current schedule worked out, but there could be room for this kind of video in future plans.
That mirror chrome looks absolutely fantastic,so many cool possibilities to use it. Now I wanna put it on everything :')
Right?
Such a fantastic technique!! Ooooh the ideas you’ve given me. Thank-you kind sir! (and ma’am behind the camera😊)
Youy're so welcome, thanks for watching!
Printed in ABS? Will PLA do?
Worth a try!
I’m 5 months late but if you cast the stamps out of metal and add a Handel you could heat up the stamp instead of the foam
Not sure if it has been suggested but a T-shirt Heat Press might be a way to heat a larger foam areas, then if you had metal stamps they could heated bit like a hot foil printing plate instead.
Not a bad idea!
Great video through and through, also love your use of spaz airbrush paint.
I have about four bottles of the stuff and use it a ton, but never thought it could be used like that.
I swear I'm always learning new things from you!
We're so glad to hear it!
Using a pipette to draw solvent! 2nd genius tip ...
Would it work if you heated the stamp instead of the foam? I don't know what temperature the foam needs to be to take an impression, so if it needs to be close to the stamp's melting point this obviously won't work, but if we're talking 50 to 60 °C maybe it'll be fine? It also depends on the stamp's ability to give off heat to the foam.
I suspect it'd be more efficient in terms of time to only heat the stamp, and if that works you're also not going to experience the heat bleed you were worried about.
If the stamp was metal, yes
If you haven't tried it, you can do 1/8 & 1/4 inch foam on your vacuformer. Just clamp it up & heat it like plastic... It'll hold it's shape when cooled, & works great for flexible face shells and formed areas like armor joints...
I should try that!
I would love to see Echo or Tech's helmets from the bad batch- they're literally so cool-
Like how would one do that-
And how Tech's goggles go under his view finder-
I understand if you don't like disney starwars/haven't watched it im just simping for the designs of Jango's children-
And yes i have seen the clone wars.
But i literally would be too happy with any of their helmets/armor especially rex.
But I gotta give it to Tech and Echo for the most unique and cool armor design 🥰🥰 they're so cool-
This is not me requesting/telling you to-
This is mainly me nerding out for both you and the Clone's designs 😄✨
That chrome paint has a really unfortunate name!
Started with 3D printed stencils and we ended with a whole build video! 👍🏼
We just couldn't stop!
Hey punished props I’m making your mandoalorian helmet and your templates work great AND there free! Amazing stuff my guy!
That's really great to hear! Have fun with your build!
Wow that's just a great idea.... This just adds another level for makers and especially prop makers.
Fun right?
I see your paint booth is all storage, were you that worried about it being a fire risk?
We still use it when we need to do lots of indoor painting, but when the weather is nice we like to just open our big doors :)
Please make a chainsaw man props with templates
Hay punished props I have been making stuff out of cardboard my whole life just started working with foam I don’t have any fancy tool apdo have any of advice to help me?
All you need to work with foam is a good sharp knife, contact cement, and paint. A basic Dremel or Rotary tool can really help do! Most things we make on this channel you can do with those 4 things :)
You should make the edges of your stamps keyed like the edges of some matting, or those square kids mats. Working with two stamps you could key to the new stamp to the previous stamp for an aliened pattern. Working with the previous stamp in place might work with the heating process as well? Just food for thought, it's not my wheel house. Cool stuff!
Clever thought!
once you've printed the pattern on a cylinder, how about a clothes mangle to squeeze them, maybe mount the heat gun Infront so it heats the foam as it feeds in.
Ooooh clever!
