As a republic clone…. I love your vids . Always a great help to the armour community and I’m now tempted to use the lanyards instead the foam I use to hold my arms up(works but is hard to do on own cause my chest is slightly over sized)
thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. I found your channel yesterday when I watched you're video on splitting up models. I'm a 3d printer but not a cosplayer so still found it useful. THIS was just plain fascinating to watch, and has sparked a few ideas for the outfits I wear on my day job (Magician) Thank You!
Your content and tutorials are top of the line man! I was wondering about getting a 3D printer but after watching your videos I’ve ordered my first and I can’t wait to make so much nerd stuff! Thank you for everything!
I'm really looking forward to the lanyard video cause that blew my mind man! Would be a total game changer for flexibility and practicality for any big suits!
You are what inspired me to 3d print my own Ironman suit, and your videos are amazing. I am 6’ 4” tall and am having to size my suit a bit. Luckily thanks to you I know how to do that. I’m printing a mk 42 suit and you are what inspired me to do so. Keep up the good work.
I feel you 6'5" here.. I laughed out loud when Frank talked about scaling down the helmet to 94% in one of his videos... but going down that same road haha hoping all the best for you!
Great video! Would definitely like to see a video on the retractable lanyards for the arms. I always have trouble with the arms for my stormtrooper outfit and think that idea would help greatly with putting it on myself.
I'm convinced my phone is hearing my thoughts, saw one of your vids and thought 'how exactly does he put this on'. 20 minutes latter the matrix uploaded the answer. Thank you
10:10 I had to laugh at this part. 12:07 It's so cumbersome! 12:31 I was just thinking moments ago, "It would be soo funny if it happened again..." IT DID! HA!
have you ever thought about making the Endo-Sym armor? you could use the flexible PLA to make the alt head piece. I also reckon the alt head piece would suit you very well
I’m not really an expert when it comes to 3D printing even though I have a printer but I read there is a filament out there called poly smooth or something and if you dip it in isopropyl alcohol the layer lines will dissolve. I hope this helps you save some time with sanding!
Frank, I’ve finally started printing Rescue! It’s all your fault, and I blame you for everything, lol! It’s going to be a journey, but I’m so excited!!
just wondering what is the best beginning 3d printer that can print Mandalorian armour set without having to worry about space if u could help that would be the best
Im 3d printing a halo suit and have been looking for a tutorial on how to hide wires and battery packs but they dont realy apply tomy suit. any tutorials or could you make one?
Hey im trying to re make the raze boom bot from valorant and ive been watching your videos on how you go about your process. Though i jabe a question i cant seem to find the answer to. How would you go about making an lcd screen with an animation like a gif for the face? Ive been looking everywhere and it seems i need ot pluged into the pc
@@FranklyBuilt my guy i havent danced in 9 years and I still wince at the thought of it pinching. but yes, multiple tight cosplays for dudes would benefit from one
Hey Frank was wondering if you can answer a quick question. Still printing a lot of my first suite but was curious how you attach the buckles you use in your harness to the piece of armor. I'm guessing hot glue maybe? Is there a certain kind you use?
Hi ! I'm watching your video and it occurred to me why you don't use magnetic connectors? You would design a mother-father pair, with spring contacts, and put a magnet on their edges. That way, you don't have to precisely push the clips together, because the magnets would pull themselves into place. Because of the reversed polarity, you would place the magnets with asymmetrical polarity. Thus, they only want to connect if they are in the right direction, otherwise they will jump apart.
I play lacrosse and I’ve been trying to create a 3D printed flexible target, but it keeps breaking after 3 or 4 hits. Any tips or ideas to fix that? I’ve heard filament choice is a big factor. I love your videos, and they are always rally cool and helpful.
Yeah i would say don't 3D Print a literal HIT target for a heavy ball and stick but, maybe you could make it out of something else. Ooooooor use Gyroid infill with 0.2 layer height and make it more durable.
Quick question, while watching, I wanted to 3d print a Iron Man suit gauntlet, but the finger bending was my only issue I couldn’t quite think of, and in the video, I don’t really see an explanation, any possible explanation that makes decent sense?
I wonder what the future will hold for Frank's channel... perhaps one day he'll have gone far enough to make an actual metal or functioning suit? maybe 5 or 10 years?
@@FranklyBuilt well, I kinda missed that bit, as it autoplayed after your one about separating face groups in Meshmixer, which I was trying to follow along with on the other screen, so I likely was farting about with angles and selecting faces when that bit was on.. I then gave up what I was attempting and starred focusing on the video - probably right after you'd taken it off 🤣
I'm 14 years old and I have very basic knowledge of robotics, I'm looking to buy a 3d printer and I have projects to make iron man armor, that's just amazing and I want to reach that level someday.

you mean to tell me you don't have a filtration system in your suit that can turn pee into water? you really cutting corners
Tony stark was able to build this in a cave…
With a box of scraps
Install a catheter and filtration into the next suit 😎😂😂😂
😝 dum
@@SpacedHawkI'm pretty sure the one with the filtration was built in a lab.
WITH OFF THE SHELF PARTS!!!!
I have a feeling you sleep in your armor at night instead of your bed. The thought of you standing up inside your suit sleeping haunts me 😂

That intro caught me so off guard 😂. Love to see you making content with Starboost. My favorite of your suits
Man I love your videos! They're a perfect mix of helpful information and Wittiness!!
Really enjoyed this Frank thank you!
This is really awesome!!! You’re an inspiration
Thanks for showing the safety things! That helps a lot

*Frank being able to out his whole suit but himself*
*Me strugling to put my helmet on without any help😂😂*
i got to say, your cosplay iron man suits are amazing, i so want to try doing one
I'm convinced my phone is hearing my thoughts, saw one of your vids and thought 'how exactly does he put this on'. 20 minutes latter the matrix uploaded the answer. Thank you
Yoo the begining really caught me of guard lmao
Nicely done 👍
Great advise as always frank! The spandex is a must for sure
That Intro though! ❤🔥🔥
That lanyard thing is a great idea!!
Frankly never Disappoints ❤️ love from India 🇮🇳

Great video. Do you have a video on how to install the buckles to connect the seperate pieces ?
The pure just done energy when your helmet came down
after watching some of your videos and some of emily the enginering videos, it gave me some ideas
This suit looks amazing! But are you making that new mk 85 suit? Can't wait future updates!
I saw that you it on the mark 85 suit, it was so awesome
I watched you on twitch the other day
I love your room
I'm looking to get an Elegoo Neptune 3 Max to hopefully start my journey to making a suit
Hey is there ver going to be a dedicated video for the mk39 helmet. Great video by the way.
I’m not really an expert when it comes to 3D printing even though I have a printer but I read there is a filament out there called poly smooth or something and if you dip it in isopropyl alcohol the layer lines will dissolve. I hope this helps you save some time with sanding!
Yeah it’s a decent filament but unfortunately not that great :/ needs work
Frank, I’ve finally started printing Rescue! It’s all your fault, and I blame you for everything, lol! It’s going to be a journey, but I’m so excited!!
It's on, I will do a video tomorrow on putting my starboost on!
Great stuff very enjoyable, have you ever thought of making a T800 cos play suit?
It looks really good. (that's all I have to say.)
I do a very similar thing to the lanyard thing but I used elastic straps
Well Done!
100% using the lanyard trick for my Buzz Lightyear suit
Also what Is your distance set for your supports to make them come off easier?
You have to sell the Iron Man armor!!
You should make costumes for marvel, this is amazing.
Can you make a cyber man helmet for the bbc show doctor who,PS love the vids
Nice
what do you think the easiest suit to print for a beginner?
None. They’re all tricky
Don’t print a suit because it looks easy. Make the one you like the best. Like Frank said all suits are hard.
What kind of boots are those
Edit never mind I found them they’re called “ lugz fringe classic moc toe boots”
I’m still stuck getting the arms on and I need help. The way I did the arms means I can’t use the lanyards though so I’m stuck needing assistance
NICE
just wondering what is the best beginning 3d printer that can print Mandalorian armour set without having to worry about space if u could help that would be the best
the power of anime never fails!
Can you please make a video about the best softwares are that you use? Especially about how to create your own designs for the printers
I would but I don’t make my own files 😅
Im 3d printing a halo suit and have been looking for a tutorial on how to hide wires and battery packs but they dont realy apply tomy suit. any tutorials or could you make one?

Super glue and hot glue

Can you make the mark 2 iron man helmet that will so cool 😎

You might be better off with a softer filament. Consider printing the target in TPU or PETG filament. Just beware of the clean up from the stringing.
@@seekertosecrets I've tried getting tpu but it wasn't supposed to work on my printer.
How exactly did you do the “hinge” for the elbows and knees?
Trial error and lots of buckles
What's your favourite iron man with out of all the iron man suit, she 3 D, your most favorite one.
Not related to this video. But any tips on fixing a paint run? I'm terrible at spray painting 😅
Sand it down and spray slower and let it dry more. Patience
Do you use cura for slicing files for the Neptune 3 max? I pre-ordered it and tried prepping some files but my cura isn't listing it.
I use Elegoo Cura
Are the legs hard material or flexible material
Frank! Do you think it would be easier to print the gloves out of you instead of pla?
What..? Lol

@@FranklyBuilt Alright, didn't exactly go too far into your channel, as I am slightly new to it. So I'll attempt to find it. Thanks for telling me!
5:10 😂💀
Looks like My model.
On Christmas.she make a to talk or like in another TH-cam channel where you race people who puts the suit on the fastest
I wonder what the future will hold for Frank's channel... perhaps one day he'll have gone far enough to make an actual metal or functioning suit? maybe 5 or 10 years?
With the lanyards in the shoulders, why could you not use a long buckle strap to connect the arm piece without outside help
Because then how would I reach it to buckle it in
@@FranklyBuilt Couldn't you have a dangling long strap?
Was anyone else waiting for some miming before he put the gloves on? Iron-mime!
Missed chance lol
how do you normaly get to a comicon wearing sutch a complex suit if it probably a 10 minutes drive
Lol you put it on at the con. You don’t wear it on the car 😂
Awesome! :) ...but can you get it back off, by yourself?!

make a tutorial on how to convince your parents to buy a 3D printer please
Amazing job
now make an iron man suit that is electroplated with real metal. Please.....Pretty please!
Without being gross how ummm do you go to the bathroom if needed... haha I am assuming the front comes off easy enough.
Do a flip!
thers a big gap
Sweet. It’s a costume lol
I'm gonna stripped making my own so challenge you.
I thought it said Shut Up in all caps
Good 👀
after watching these and many other videos ive come to the conclusion that marvel is lazy, they could have invested in this kind of tech to do some of the suits etc but opted for the more expenssive and much more time consuming cgi...goes to show that hollywood has lost its magic
You try doing flips, running, kneeling, throwing punches, hell even breathing sucks in these. It would make an incredibly boring action scene.
Fix the helmet
There’s nothing wrong with the helmet?
this is such a helpful video, thank you
i wish i was cool like you
