I definitely learned a lot from this experience. Not just making the cosplay, but also from making the video. I’m looking forward to applying what I’ve learned into my next projects! Thank you all so much for the support!
Thanks!! I’m planning on doing another costume and if you haven’t checked it out, Leather Fashion Valley also has a really good option, and a bonus there, with their suit you can lift your arms up lol
Still making my Mando costume, nearly finished, I also used galactic armory files. I'm thinking about using Green Stuff World's chrome metal paint as I have the Hasbro mando helmet to avoid the trouble of printing a helmet and that paint matches the colour of the helmet.
Another option when buying cosplays online, most stores/sellers give option of custom size suit. And you rarely need to pay more. You might need to wait a bit longer since they will make it to your measurements (always add in an extra cm in).
You know the sizing mechanism used in hard hats and bicycle helmets? I got some of those and Velcro’d it in the helmet. You can’t reach the adjustment dial in the helmet hence the Velcro so I can remove the harness and fit correctly over my head before reattaching it to the helmet Just a tip which might help you with getting that perfect snug fit
Great video, man! I'm in the exact same situation. I finished my Din Djarin costume with more or less the same components (and the same setbacks) for a costume party on December 2nd. And my biggest takeaway is also the same one: you can tweak it later. :-) This is the way!
That’s awesome!! I need to get my butt in gear for the next iteration with the new season coming in only a few months!! Grats again on your build!! This is the way!
What material did you end up using to print your armor in? Was going to use PLA also, but a bit worried about this given the melting issue you described.
It was PLA. I believe I have a link to the brand I used in the description. Hatchbox PLA is the brand if it isn’t there. Just don’t leave it out in direct sunlight lol.

Currently building my own mando suit and I’m glad someone found the idea from sky costume, it looks dope man! Great vid

Good luck! And that Black Series Helmet is pretty awesome! I think Adam Savage did a video on weathering that exact helmet of you’re interested.

Great advice! I will definitely take this into consideration the next time I want to pick up some cosplay stuff that I can’t make myself!
@@oawa Anytime.

Excellent vid dude, I still think this looks amazing and can’t wait to see the pro caliber version that you make next❤❤.
Thanks LB! It’s going to be awhile, I’m going to be making a couple things for some family members for Christmas. Hopefully
Great video! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
The hardest to fit was definitely, as you said, the braces and shins
Still figuring that out
I love this🙌🏻
Thank you!! This was a lot of fun to put together! I’m Looking forward to doing more.
This was awesome.

In the process right now.
Awesome, I hope you enjoy making your costume as much as I did!
