Long story short a full suit should run you about $500 to $800 to make depending on how decked out you want it to be.
Roughly yeah! Excluding the printer cost usually
Damn, that's not cheap, but super worth it.
That’s it? I’d make 100!
@@Blahblahblehblhah not including labor though, making it look that good will take hundreds of hours to make and prime and paint etc
To buy on about 6 grand lol
I'm actually getting married in an iron man suit I've built myself. Inspired by your channel.
I need to see that man
that's cool but rlly weird
That’s awesome!
Have you told your wife to be your wearing your iron man suit? Cos if not well then you may not be getting married then 😝
@@zombiehunter1152 It was her idea. She's loves cosplay it's how we met so she wants to get married the same way.
Frank this was by far one of the best walk through and inspiring videos on the hobby. Once I’m done diving done the Rabbit hole on my R2D2 build, Ironman is next. Thanks for the great inspiration, have a great one 👍🏽
Your channel and advise actually was the push I needed to try out this hobby. Yours and other's advice has been invaluable for getting started. Thank you for all these tutorials and advice!
Wow Frank. What a resource! You are doing it right! The links alone are a wealth of tools and information.
Excellent video, Frank! Really hit all the key points and prices. Wish I had something like this to reference before I started my Hall of Armor. Like you said, trial and error. Well done, sir! 🙌
What a great summary. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with the community, Frank!
Been youtube educating myself to buy my first 3d printer. Never imagined the 3d printing rabbit hole would lead me here. 😀 Your videos are so very useful and you've really opened my eyes to what the possibilities are. thank you.
It’s worth noting the time variable as well. You’re not chucking all this down at once. It gets spread out over the months of your build and in stages. So take your paycheck (or allowance for some viewers) and buy filament. Next the sandpaper as you start to dial in prints, then paint etc, etc.
These are the best designs of Frankly......Best tutorial I get from his videos.:)
All of your 3D builds are so cool.
I wish i could make stuff like you
Also have to look at what you can afford pilment wise, but please don't go cheap. Also check those 3d models in mesh mixer sometimes there is errors that will cause your printing issue. I bought a model and payed $10 for it just to find it wouldn't print, some models will just not print for the life of you. An no ender 3s stay way pay a little more I'd get the ender 5 pro as my first printer. Mine was my second printer and it's outlasted my 5 other printers I have owned.
Sidewinder x2 has great reviews too. You can also start with an Ender 3 and later when you are comfortable with the prints upgrade with an Ender extender kit.
What a fantastic video, and OMG the suits look AMAZING. You're a talented man, with a lot of patience and time on your hand. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for all the tips. Im currently printing a 12ft project and the help goes a long way. I just put in a bulk order of sunlu PLA+. Modded S5 owner here. I love the hate. Sure it's not the best but very cool. I thought I needed the biggest printer when getting into all this which amongst all the confusion lead me to the S5.
Thank you Frank for all of your work! You deserve every penny what you earn!
I got a Voxelab for Christmas and got hooked immediately. I immediately bought an Flsun Super Racer,l and an Anycubic Chiron. The Chiron didn’t work out of the box and I’m still waiting for the parts to make it work. The super racer is going strong but now my Voxelab is down. It’s the most expensive and aggravating hobby ever. But once I get a successful helmet finished I’ll give it a shot.
I am waiting on my Fookos machine to get here on Friday. I am doing Dr. Fate first. Then I got this dope War Machine file that has this huge gun mounted on the back and on both shoulders. I will definitely be looking more at your vids to get tips on THAT project for sure! I purchased Armor Smith and have been toying with it to get comfortable in scaling. It doesn't seem TOO complex. It is rather intuitive. Properly placing supports is something I know I will have issue with. I have yet to start, and it is giving me anxiety. I dropped TONS on filament though. That is why I went with the Fookos. The Sovol sv03 will be my next upgrade most likely.
Liked-Subscribed-Notified. Great work on the IronMan Costume! Thank you, Frank, for creating and sharing.
Fantastic! I would really like to see a masking video on how you did all the various colors on the suit or on any print. Love what you do. keep it up brother!
I would love to see a video that is a tour of your current setup and final prints a stuff! 🔥
Bought a Creality CR10S Pro V2 because of your channel. Just got it this week and printing the Power Orb right now. My main goal is to put a War Machine suit together. Haven't decided which version yet. This pricing vid is right on time because I've been from Do3D to Etsy looking at files and wanted to know what a fair price was. Your channel has given me the motivation and info I need thank you!
That’s a really solid machine! Probably one of the best I’ve ever purchased. Good choice 👍
@@LongLiveHomiak Thanks only been a few days and I'm getting use to it. So far so good and I'm loving it so far.
A great video. However i think you should have added in time. Time to print, sand, paint, wire, and just overall build. Because some people will walk away from this video thinking a suit is worth roughly $1,300 without thinking about labor costs
Good point.
So, can you give an estimate of the time budget, both in terms of printing hours, and also start no finish time in weeks or months?
(Obviously, this would have to be a very rough estimate with so many variables involved …)
Print time, too. Those printers are drawing a significant amount of electricity for hours on end.
Well I talked about time and labour a little. This is physical material cost and I think that’s obvious enough. No one is going to think it happens overnight and these were low base lines
I thank you for telling me how to make a cheap military grade suit for reasonable reasons and purposes
I’ve been inspired to try to start 3d printing bc of u I’m trying to get a printer for my birthday but I wanted to say that you’ve inspired me so much
You just gave everyone the sauce! Your awesome bro!
I've wanted to make the iron man mk 46for a long time, and about a year ago I bought the files from died and then a month later they released the premium gauntlet for that mark. They haven't released the rest of the armor, and it's been almost 9 months. I'm really hoping they release it soon. They keep promising they will release it soon but they haven't. So fingers crossed! Also this is a great tutorial, when they finally release the files your videos are going to help me so much, so thanks!
Hey Frank hope you have a great day and this helped me out alot
Great video Frank, thank you
Hey Franky. I've been following you for a couple of years now and it's good to see how your channel has grown. Keep it up 🔥🔥💪
Thank you so much!
Bro do you want to sale these sets and what price on you sale
Thanks again for the content. Just PCSed to Stuttgart. Setting up my Ender 3 and showing my son how to use it.
Heck yeah
Thanks, it was a very detailed video.
Oh yea Im doing this! After my current project. Just saw that Anycubic Kobra 2 Max with the 420x420x500 @ $520, and has good reviews. I have Flashforge 5M Pro and Bambu Labs P1P but the arent big enough. For me, I estimate this will cost in the range of $1800-2000. Worth it.
Hey frank. It's the wood works guy. I printed the thingiverse suit. That is the one I was telling you about on the discord. It should be mostly ready in a week and a half. I send you pics. Did it on an ender 3 😁. Yessir.
That's a really nice and comprehensible breakdown! I've been meaning to do a video sort of like this but more directed to ppl who want to start in 3D printing altogether (directed to cosplayers)
There's just one "minor" item you forgot to mention: electricity, we also need to weight in the electric bill
So. Honestly electricity isn’t really relevant. That’s like also trying to calculate how much water you’ll drink why working in the project. Depending on your printer, area you live in, print time, and much more, that number will vary way to much to even attempt to calculate
@@FranklyBuilt granted: you can't quantify the electric bill because of the different price in every area, but you internally need to weight it in, and even more so when the prices in some places are ludicrous (I live in Mexico and although it's not as bad as Spain for example, we do get steep prices based on the consumption)
Those Iron suits are incredible
This is an extremely informative video with a lot of great resources, thanks!
I'm looking to do a War Machine suit and starting to research the files.
Do you run into many War Machine cosplayers?
Thank you so much, this helps me to thing about making my own suit perhaps sometime
Amazing stuff frankie 🇮🇹👍🏽
Thank you for the advice. I'm following your tutorials I'm printing a suit because I do charity events for a local hospital where I reside and I want to move up from foam
Amazing video really good explanation!!!
One thing to consider.. For individuals not looking to buy a 3D printer right a way, the net work of brand clothing and accessories You-tubers can offer, make me question if many channels offer to custom build orders, of customers who'd pay for it ("it" being a suit), like car enthusiasts do.
yea i been wanting to make my own, thanks for the info
Ok but can we all appreciate the gact that the proportions on that mk43 from the beginning were literally perfect
….no one has a mk43 suit? Haha
The infinity gauntlet suit is dope
This is so informative. thank you sir.
Anytime!
I love watching your youtube channel and tik toks, true inspiration to trying new hobbies. Have you ever thought about printing a RoboCop armor.
i think for absolute beginners heated bed and auto bed levelling is a great thing
i started with a cr 6 se so i never had to bed level and stuff,
and so far it been mostly fun hardly problems
I am just getting into 3d printing and found your channel. I really appreciate the information and detail you provide. I am thinking of getting the Ender CR 10S Pro V2 as my first printer. I know it’s not considered a “beginner” printer, but I also want something that will be able to be used for builds like this. My dream is to have a full suit of armor like yours. Any suggestions for first time 3d printer noob, or do you have like a “tips I wish I knew before I started” type video?
you *totally can* print suits in PLA, but they tend to warp and melt in any kind of sun or a warm room, etc. etc. If I wanted to print something that lasts for a long while, I would print in ABS. it's a bit more difficult in that you need to enclose your printer (abs doesn't like breezes and a consistent chamber temp is paramount to avoid warping) but the results are WAY more durable (abs is what they make lego out of), and ABS filament is maybe $5 more per kg and prints great in most machines (so long as you enclose them, a taped together cardboard box is perfectly fine).
I have to disagree lol my suit is PLA and it’s been fine. If a print warps in a warm room there’s a problem.
Thank you for this!
omg, the video i was looking for . thanks 🙏🏽
Very nice video. I'm not into this but your video style information and craftsmanship made your video worth watching.
Well wow! Thank you very much!!!
What 3d printer do you have, where do you find the models for helmets and iron man suits, annnnd what do you use to paint them and make it shine?
I wish I had the patience (and skill) for this!
Thanks for the price breakdown.
Man, I'm so happy for you. You work your ass off, create great content, and push great services (love NordVPN myself, and work in cyber security). Swell video.
Which slicing software is the best for printing armor and helmets? I have the Creality cr-10 smart pro
Hey Frank, really appreciate this video I’m looking to make a Starboost suit myself. I need to ask what computer do you recommend when 3D printing? And why is that best?
Just curious if you figured out a way to have more mobility in the star boost arms
A good way to save money is by buying a 5kg roll of filament from Zyletech, or a similar company, which can save you anywhere from 20-24$ per 5kg, basically a free roll
Was watching the Red Hood video before this and thought about what you said at the end asking about other stuff to print. Thought about Zero's helmet from Code Geass LeLouch of the rebellion. Really cool helmet, and pretty original design compared to Iron Man or Mandalorian.
I’m getting my first printer and can’t wait to get started making stuff
Really fun hearing people pronounce aussie cities. You were so close! Mel-bin. I'm getting a CR10 tomorrow to accompany my ender 3. I did have a anycubic mega x but I'm having a lot of issues with it
I’ve been American my whole life. It’s MEL-Born.
Sorry. America is law
@@FranklyBuilt America is law America is life
When I eventually get in to 3D printing I’m definitely gonna use your tips, thanks! 😊
The googly eyes on his printers are too funny 🤣🤣
After watching this, I have decided to 3D print some things and use foam for other where it is more practical. My printer is a 220x220mm so it is not suitable to print an adult sized helmet in one piece. And I had already cut the pieces and shaped them using foam, I just have not glued them together. Seeing as the finishing time and steps are essentially the same for whatever material is used, I feel better knowing I can complete some of these items a lot faster using foam and the end results are excellent either way.
while you don't "need" to know how to 3D- model, I would highly suggest learning some basics of resizing, shaping, and thickening to make things 3D-Printable. Too many 3d models exist, that can't actually be printed due to ZeroThickness walls, extremely small bits (hairs, whiskers) not properly set up/positioned, or just flat out floating parts that would need to defy gravity in reality. I 3D print as a fun thing to do on the side, plan to do 'full suit' style someday when I learn more, and I can tell you - learning just a few basic 3d modeling tricks helps tremendously, especially if it's a simple customization like combing parts or making a cut out.
5:16 Unexpected gunpla collection. nice.
Which models/website did you use for the 3d files you built?
Speaking of 3D models and free models for Starboost you should look at Walsh3D Sartboost helmet, is free and he has a really amazing quality
What paint do you recommend for a beginner? Also love your vids, they are really inspiring and interesting! 😊
hey frank! im new to the 3d print world. i have an ender 5 pro and ive already printed off some really awesome things. i wanted to try and do the iron man armor just for kicks and hopefully for holloween. would the ender 5 pro be a big enough machine to do this on?
So informative Ty
just as a recomendation, im a Destiny fan and im going to 3d print a whole cosplay of the game, do you mind giving a try to 3d print a saint-14 cosplay?
On the filament, i've always had the best print with clear pla 😅.
Question: Has anyone thought to do a lost PLA casting for an Ironman suit?
Having an actual metal suit seems fun
It would be very cool but it would be very hard to move in due to how heavy it would be
@@jacobriegel6116a feasible could either use very light (yet strong) materials, and/or have motors such that it'd work like an exoskeleton - so you wouldn't be carrying it - you'd just be enclosed by it, and motors would move the various parts.
What if i have a 230x230mm print volume? Or will that be too small? Or is there models for armor out there for smaller build volumes?
like he said in the video, its not too small youll just have to cut up the armor files into pieces to fit on your printer. I believe he has videos on how to cut up parts for smaller printers. "How To Fit ANY 3D Model on ANY 3D Printer! - A Cutting and Slicing Tutorial"
I wish we could buy your props, they are so good!!!!
i have a question about where i can print would it be safe to do in like my one room apartment or do i need more space for that?
If I don't have as much of a build volume on my printer what would be the adhesives to attach pieces together cost.
Hey frank . Ever since I broke my thermistor when changing my nozzle on my ender 5p. It hasn’t been leveling the same . If I adjust the level while it’s printing like how I do my ender 3 pro. Would the adjustments be saved or will it reset every new print ? Thanks in advanced 🙏🏼
Great job on these costumes and suits, I have a question. When wearing these suits for an extended period of time, are you able to sit down in the suit or do you have to remove part of the lower suit to sit. I’m only asking because, i’m considering building an Iron Man suit to wear for charity events, but I’m an old man.😀 Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Nah sadly no I can’t sit in it. You could make it possible to remove parts but it’s tricky
Hey quick question, I am about to build an iron man suit myself inspired by you. Could you please put a list in the comments listing all the stuff you needed to make this more sorry the electricals because I find it a bit confusing
I've been trying to find a good bloodsport suit template but haven't had much luck. Do you have any good ideas of where to look?
I got an Ender 3 not too long ago, and now I want to build a clone trooper armour, I guess it won't be easy since an Ender 3 is maybe too small for armours, but a year ago I didn't think you could just print an Iron man suit, and after seeing what you can do, I'll try :)
You could always buy an Ender Extender kit. They basically just replace some of the existing frame of the printer and drastically increase the print area while reusing all the original electronics and much of the original frame. They're also much cheaper than buying a whole new printer of that size. I'm planning on getting one of their kits for my Ender 3 at some point. Once I have it, I'll be able to print entire helmets in one piece.
Frank I have a question for you
What should I do if my printer just keep stopping in the middle of prints
Terminal runaway error
do you glue the suits together? (only halfway through video)
So much less expensive than I would have guessed. Thanks
I’m torn between an Ender 5 Plus or a CR-10 Pro V2. The bed for the Ender is *slightly* smaller but negligible. Would that size difference be an issue for printing something like this Iron Man?
You can melt failed prints with a saudery iron tool when your attaching parts right?
Who do you recommend to use? I want to build one and it's gonna be some work , I'm 225lbs and 6ft tall
Ur channels the best
Great video, I'm looking forward to the next one!
I've been following your channel for a while now and finally I'm giving an Iron Man helmet a go (though I'm starting off just doing a free one, with the moving face plate) and I'm surely going to go back to your videos for each new stage!
I do have one question though, and it might be a bit hard for you to answer with your dedicated work space, but painting... Is there any way to do it indoors without it getting everywhere and stinking up the place? I live in an apartment in Sweden and usually spray paint on my balcony but that isn't a good option. Wintertime is worse!
Also, do you know Grant at 3d Musketeers? He's doing a podcast/youtube live stream called Making Awesome where he talks to people who... make awesome. As you do. I think it'd be really interesting to see/listen to your story and Grant is a great interviewer
Hey! So look into an airbrush ventilation booth! And that’s awesome! I wonder how I could get in touch with him lol
Pretty good breakdown
How much time taken for complete built for the first suit?
Hey do you ever plan on making the whole mandolorian armor 🤔
Thank you I love your videos and you help a lot
I’m new to this stuff, but I would be happy with just building a suit for a display in the mancave. The licensed life size suits cost about 13k 😂
I been trying to start but the only question I need is what kind of pc or computer do you have to use I been looking everywhere for this question but like a good one
