#3dPrinting #Copslay #scaling - บันเทิง
I’ve been cosplaying for over 12 years now and every time I see a video of yours I learn something new and amazing. I just bought my first 3d printer (a creality k1 max) and I’m excited to get into the world of 3d printed cosplay thank you for providing such amazing inspiration and education
As a project easier than iron man armor, I started with a suit of Mandalorian Armor, and it turned out great using the tips and lessons I’ve learned watching your videos. You inspired and helped me more than you’ll ever know! Thank you!
Frankly Built, who is frankly built like a superhero, claiming he got lucky genetically and not from hard work in the gym is why we love him
Whos ready for Frank to do a T.E.D talk about 3d printing
YES
THIS
Me!
I mean what where you expecting
Yes that would be amazing!
I would love an Armor Smith tutorial that includes how to take your measurements right !
You can also import a 3D scan into Armour Smith I believe , so you can merge the two last methods :)
Just a bummer that the good scanning Apps are all on the Apple store because for once Iphones actually have a feature that is unique and useful for the Cosplaying community 😬
Frank, I have been going crazy trying to get the bottom half of my mk 85 build to match up an look good , and this video just gave me the boost that I needed! Thank you again brother!
Thanks for doing this video Frank...I'm very grateful. This is perfect timing for my MK3 build I'm doing. I was going to go back and watch your older videos for scaling but this totally makes up for it!
Your timing is amazing Frank! I'm about to buy the files of a N7 armor and thought I'd yolo everything. Thank the 3D printing gods for saving me!
I'm so excited to see the increase in content from your channel! This year has been the first year I dive into 3D printing and cosplay in general. I've been practicing with the arduino and I'm still very beginner but learning it will be a valuable skill in being creative! I bought some ws2812B LEDs and find it's a lot to take in. There are plenty of resources, but it definitely gets overwhelming. I think you are good at putting things in simple terms so IF possible, could you make a video on how to design and hook up LEDs into your projects? Or maybe explaining the differences between different micro controllers, batteries (tradeoffs, recharging), wiring, electrical topics, etc. Otherwise, glad to see your video Frank and thanks for reading me :D
Thanks so much! I just started working on my first 3d printed cosplay as mk 85 iron man. Huge inspiration!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. In a few hour I will have finished my first helmet (took a few days of printing it in multiple parts !). I hope I scaled it correctly with Armorsmith !
Just about to start my own armor and this is immensely helpful! Great video!
starboost looks amazing man. i just finished my mk 7 suit for Halloween. I owe it all to you. you got me into 3d printing and inspired me to make the suit.
another solid video, can't wait for the armor smith tutorial!
Great video Frank! We have had good luck with Armorsmith but it’s not perfect, will definitely check out Scandy Pro!
Great to see another informative video from you. I learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Thank you for this video! I’ll definitely be using the test rings!
I'm going to be starting my MK39 that I got from do3d soon and this video has helped so much, thank you
a huge thank you for explaining all that we have as a question, congratulations for your channel which increases every day, I follow you religiously and entraint to make my own iron man mark 85, photo to follow, thank you frank !!!!
Thank you so much for this and all your other videos how to built an Ironman suit. I‘ve watched all of your videos and now after I scaled the suit I can finally begin to print.
Dude, you are an inspiration!!
Yea that armorsmith full tutorial sounds like it would be an amazing idea
Thank you so much! I ironically just downloaded scandy for doing smaller things did not know I could use it for this purpose! Def following the channel. Just started on a Phase 2 Arc Trooper build and tbh its made me nervous, but learned knew tools im excited to use! Could you please do a full tutorial on Armorsmith, but also Meshmixer? I've gotten the jist of Armorsmith but Meshmixer hurts my head still for some reason. lol
the chicken dance at the end deserves a like! hahaha. thanks Frank! i look forward to the more in-depth video on the Armorsmith Designer program! My brothers and I are planning on going to the San Diego comicon next year and I wanna wear an Ironman suit to it!
I'm sorry your video are just an inspiration
This made my day thank you :)
Love the videos man! Greatly helpful info for beginners like myself, can you do an updated video on cura slicing settings?
Letsssss gooo!!!! franky boiiii ❤
Trying to join the Iron Man crew and this is exactly what I needed!
I’ve just gotten another printer and I’m starting to print my own Spartan from halo infinite and this video is really helping me I’m so exited to print it 😁
Thank you so much !!!
Thank you so much for this vid I was thinking of starting a 3D printing channel to make awesome things like these do you have any tips or advice? Love the vid and the channel!
Never thought I’d see Iron Man doing the chicken dance 😂 your post-credit clips are my favorite
What I did recently was bring my 3D scan into armorsmith, and then adjusted the avatar to match my 3D scan exactly. After that I removed the scan and was left with an avatar that was scaled perfectly to me.
That’s genius!!
Yes need it
Thank you for this amazing video!! I’ll be starting an armorized Deadpool here soon 😩 do you have a video with what’s inside the armor??
Do you have any scanning suggestions for those of us that don't have an iPhone?
Love the chicken dance stress test.
I have now made 1 1/2 suits. One was a snake eyes suit and I have 1/2 of my mk 30 done. Hip firing with 100% worked both times for me 🤷♂️
Thank you so much for the help with the 3D model of how to scale and march your body with the 3D file. My only question is if you were like me and want to make an iron man helmet what do you suggest the scaling I should do with percentage with a 21.5 inch head?, or what is the equation to solve that problem?
Hi Sir, I started follow you. You have amazing videos. I like this 3D printer Technology. I want to buy my first printer, and thanks to your videos I now know which one is the best for me. I am a back to the future fan, I want to create a Mr Fusion base adapter for my coffee grinder Krups 233, is the same one used in the movie. I wanted to see if you can make a tutorial to do this because I saw a videos tutorial but it wasn’t good and it is 8 years old. I think it would be great for someone like you with your educational skills to create a good quality tutorial for a Back to the future fan. Thank you and You are amazing.
Awesome video Frank my 10yr old son just asked me for a Boba Fett costume for Halloween!😬
Well this definitely will help a lot(am scrapping the idea of making a fierce Deity Megatron cosplay, and just straight out making Fierce Deity Link, but with a little tint of Stark industries tech)
But question: where do u get those cosplay lights for the helmets, and the electrical components?
Nice 😊
I'm curious if their armored Deadpool is to the same scale. If you can make the Ironman work at 5'8" then I should be golden at 5'10". For the most part anyway. I have armorsmith but haven't really tinkered with it other than initial setup. So I'll be looking forward to that video.
Would painting myself any certain color make my head/body scan better? Like put on a beanie and some non reflective gray paint, would it make post scan cleanup easier/less?
Honestly a predator or doom slayer helmet would be sick to see
i actually made a short about scaling stuff on cura that i havent seen anyone use. i was wondering what you think about it.
Hey Frank, lately I’ve had some issues with my printer. Long story short, I found out one of the issues is that the lines are so thin and that’s because it gets stuck at the end of the Bowden tube. What would you recommend doing about this?
What material would you recomend to 3D print armor with?
hello, what print speed would you recommend for armor pieces to have enough detail but not waste too much time🤔🤔
Just wondering should I make my chest piece into 2 pieces or keep it one
Did you make a video on how to use armorsmith?
I know this is an older video but for some reason, my meshmixer doesn’t let me click from point to point anywhere to measure my models. You are able to click pretty much anywhere and it makes the line wherever you want. I’m unable to do that. Is there some sort of setting for this? The only line that ever shows up is off to the side or not at the widest parts that I want to measure. Been frustrated for weeks trying to figure this out.
can you 3d print halo master chief, that would be EPIC!
I'm not CGI like Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man? *existential crisis deintensifies*
About to purchase armorsmith. Wish you had an affiliate link with them.
How can you put your 3-D scan of yourself and import it to armor smith for your avatar?
Hi in 13 and no way to get a 3d printer but I love watching your videos
I have to ask, is it easily meltable. how would making a mold to cast metal
i and i imagine others would still be heavily interested in a full armorsmith tutorial theres none out there that are in depth
*Me who has never seen a 3d printer irl : interesting
I have a Mac what software is similar to mesh mixer? I’m trying to use a measuring tool
Which mark 85 helmet file do you recommend, the cgtrader or do3d?
Walsh3D on Instagram
If you were to 3D print an Optimus Prime costume, which version of Optimus would you pick?
How did you get the 3D scan and the 3D files you’re trying to match together in the same file to compare
Upload the 3d scan obj file into a slicer like prusa and then upload obj of the armour in the same page
Hey Frank do you know if there is a Mac equivalent to mesh mixer
I’m looking for this as well
Would you recommend uniform scaling vs non uniform? I’ve read mixed opinions
Whatever works for you
Can you make a Jetstream sam costume please
another Frank video! This time with facial hair!
my motto is: what doesn't fit is made to fit. And i don't mean the armor, because i would like to have it in 1:1 😂
Is there a armorsmith type software able to run on Mac?
Unfortunately no
I have been doing a mk 42 arm. But can you please tell me how you did the “mk 85” label? I’d like to add that to my armor.
It’s a sticker
@@FranklyBuilt thank you
Where do you get the files? Thanks!!!
I'm a fat guy so I was thinking about making a hulkbuster version so that it makes sense lmao these videos are great.
Lol great idea. I’m a lil short so the mark 1 will be better for me😅😢
About the 3d scanning app, is there one for android phones, not everyone has an iphone
Anyone know what % Frank scaled the legs too on his mk39 suit? (Bit of a specific question though so not sure how anyone other than Frank would know lol!)
Hey. Like I said in the video I didn’t scale the suits, they were printed at 100%
Is Mesh mixer shut down? I cant get their website to open at all...
Armor smith doesn’t work for Mac 😢
My nerd son wants to know where you got your MK85 suit model so he can print it. Thanks!
Do3d.com
@@FranklyBuilt we appreciate it.
Okay, so I downloaded scandypro. Did a scan of my head, but when I uploaded it to meshmixer it seems small. Is that right? Or is it accurate?? Do I need to scale my dome up? Lol
You need to change the units in the Scandy Pro export screen or change the units in meshmixer. by default, Scandy Pro exports in units of meters. You can change that to cm, mm, or inches in the export screen - just tap the you choise on the 'Scale' option before hitting 'Export'.
@@Scandy3D wow 🤦🏽♂️ thank you so much! I didn’t even think of that
@@juliogilfigueroa862 💪
Yo does anyone know a good 3d scanning app that is free. IPhone or android. Thanks for the great video Mr Built and that's an amazing dance.
Scandy Pro is free - you just need to pay to save more than one scan per week
@@charlescarriere6589 thank you so so much that is so helpful. 👌
I’m watching this entire video but I don’t even have a 3D printer yet…
Lol time to buy me a printer 😂
what 3d scanner would you recommend for android 🤔
Get an iphone dude. Android doesn’t have any good and free app for scans. Scandy is only available in ios but it gives 1 free scan every week, you have to pay for more than 1 scan a week. Or just borrow your friends iphone for a quick scan😊
Frankly built can you make A daft punk helmet
Hello
Anyone know the android version of scandy pro 😅
Hey yo bro can you make me a guardians of a Galaxy Star lord helmet
Sucks you code doesn’t work any longer for the app :/
We're you fighting off baseball bats, is your arm OK?
make a tobi mask from naruto plz
Love your videos, but it's always the same tutorial for either helmets or things that go around your arms/waist. Why not the difficult things like chest pieces? I know you do a video about a paid program, but some of us don't want to spend money on another program. How about a rough tutorial about chest pieces and large pieces of armor that don't wrap around your body?
whats wrong with your arm ? whathappened
Lol
Ayo why do you low key sound like Dr Mike?
Day 4 of asking #frankieBuilt to make boom guys predator suit
This awesome @FranklyBuilt!
Do you know of a 3D scanning program that I can scan a model of something I am building and turn it into an stl file I can 3D print?
Hopefully you read this. I just bought a Ender 3 V2. Meshmixer does not have Creality. How did you add Your Ender 3 to Meshmixer? Or do you have a video on how to add to meshmixer?
Meshmixer isn’t a printing program. You use it to cut files not print
@@FranklyBuilt I don't have to add my printer in meshmixer? I can just open an STL file, resize and export?
