I remember starting 3D printing back in 2015 in high school. I made little keychains and that was about it. Who would have thought that 8 years later, I'd be finishing 3 full scale star wars droids. You're amazing, Frank and thank you for all your help with my projects.
we ❤️ you mr built. I’m always so glad you messaged me asking if we were related years ago. I’ve learned so much from you and you continue to inspire me to push harder with my builds. thank you for being one of my bestest friends
I want to be on the Iron idiots pod cast
You taught me to just do it. You may fail but you learn and you press on. My Prince Loki armor was the starting point. Becuase of you I now know how to print, prep, paint, and finish my prints! Thank you!
Frank, thank you so much for sharing your story! All I learnt about slicing, smoothing, priming and painting, I learnt from you. You mentioned the same situation that I have: shoot every week live upgrades about project or make tutorials about certain subject. Live updates are easier for shooting and regular posting, but for TH-cam algorithms and viewers search, short 5-10 minutes tutorials with definite subject work better.
Anyway, we all wait for all your videos) Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏
I've been doing 3D printed cosplay for 3 years now. All of my success is from following your tutorials. Thanks so much for what you do... It's been so helpful.
Frank, you taught me perseverance. Seeing you dedicate so much time to your builds, and especially this Mark 85 just made me want to go the extra mile just like you do. Seeing you go back and perfect the suit even further than most of us would’ve known, with the paint, or the electronics, or even the V2 chest, it inspires me to always push for my builds to be the best they can possibly be. Not to mention you also taught me most of what I know about 3D printing haha. Thank you Frank, for continuing to do what you do.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done Frank!!! I came for the 3d printing tips and stayed for the awesome community you have built! You are a true gem, I’ve never met another creator who is so involved with their community ❤ You are the best!
Pretty much every video you made in England while I was building my suit has been my foundation for everything I did. You rule dude.
This was the first video I've seen from this channel. I'm happy I get to be part of the NEXT project from the beginning.
Like the old man said, part of the journey is the end. You got me into this hobby, and it's been an honor to learn and grow alongside you. These past two years since I started all this has been some of the best time of my life. It's definitely had its bad moments, sure, layer shifts, cracked paints, and maybe we dropped a freshly painted Blue Beetle eye on the ground along the way, but there's been so much that makes up for it, like the fact that not only you, but hundreds of other amazing builders and even Ross Marquand have thought "her stuff is good enough to follow her", and all the incredible people I've met along the way, from celebrities to other cosplayers to even getting recognized at a con. This is all thanks to you, and I have no idea where I'd be without it. So thank you Frank, here's to another four years.
I haven't been here for your whole journey, I've only discovered your channel this year, but I absolutely love all the videos I've seen. Seeing your passion for the hobby, for each build has gotten me back into 3D printing, and watching your video reviewing your favorite printer models led me to choose one of those. I hadn't purchased a printer in over 5 years and boy have they made some nice advancements. Thank you for your knowledge, your passion, and willingness to share it all with us.
The best part of the video was the Easter egg at the end(at least for me it was) I lost my dad too over a year ago and he was my biggest fan when it came to 3D printing. Didnt matter how big or small the project, it simply amazed him that someone could imagine an object or design and create it out of a spaghetti noodle of plastic or a vat of liquid resin. Miss him everyday but know hes right there with me everytime Im out in the shop working on my latest project.
Yeah, I use your videos to help me build my Ironman mask, and the pla welding tutorials were life-saving. I can't thank you enough.
All I need to say is that I have an iron man suit at 15 thanks to your channel and I can’t thank you enough.
This video actually reminded me that it is ok to have to reprint parts. I stopped the video at around the half way to look at my old 3d files rescale a helmet and start a print before coming back to continue the video. I stopped because I was about 70% through a build only to have scaled some parts wrong. I stopped the build for about a year and worked on other stuff.
Thanks for getting me back on track.
Back in 2020, I saw a video of Emily with her helmet reposted somewhere so I went and found her page and very quickly yours. I then got my first printer and started in my own journey of 3D printing and cosplay. I still don’t have a full suit yet but I will someday bc of your. I just want you to know how much you’ve impacted the community and how much you’ve helped me not only learn about 3D printing, but in a lot of other ways
Thank you so much for your videos ever since starting 3d printing you've been helping me all the way to where I am now. I'm doing my own Iron Man MK3 suit and got most my inspiration off of you. Thank you!
Good luck on the new 85 suit. A comprehensive how to style video series will be a great boost to people building these suits. I’m sure your subscriber count is going to go way up! Your effort is appreciated and fun to watch. Well done sir!
frank tears to my eyes. and your friends would never let you hang your channel
and give it all up.its a big future for you and everyone one who subs you
I found your videos and boy did it kick off my 3d printing addiction! Basically, anything 3d printing I learned from one of your videos! As someone who was looking for something different and was going through major life hurdles this has become a fantastic hobby and thank you for the videos that I have been watching for the past year! I'm so glad you didn't give up and i use that to push myself to finish my project! Thank you!!
Dude you got me crying over here. Your early tutorial videos were want got me to make a Din Djarin suit so me and my son could go trick or treating. I will always have those memories and pictures.
Great video, man. It's been our pleasure to watch the Mark 85 progress and see your channel grow! You've taught so much to so many, myself included, and I along with everyone else can't wait to see videos from your next big project. You're a talented maker, amazing teacher, and great friend and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you and your channel!
Been following your channel since the MK85 was still in primer. I have learned so much about prepping and painting. It has been very helpful in my builds. Thank you for doing this and thank you for your service.
Frank, Just wanted to say I appreciate your work and guides.
I have been a costume creator/builder for over 15 years, but your videos always give me a new tip or technique to try, so thank you very much and keep doing what you do.
You taught me everything, working with cura, scaling stls, priming, painting, the entire hobby!! I followed in your foot steps, I got a cr10 v2, you were a catalyst for a lot of people and I can’t thank you enough for all the guidance
Thanks for taking us on your journey! It is because of your inspiration and love of 3D printing that I now own a printer myself and have started my journey towards printing a suit of armor. From all of us - thank you!
You helped me put my Ender 5+ together, watching that video made it so easy.
You taught me it's ok to fail, it will happen so when it does & it has, just learn from it & keep going.
Love watching your channel, so much fun & informative.
My wife got me my 1st 3D printer during Covid. Mainly because I had always talked about creating my own Gunpla parts and weapons. Now I have two printer, and am making my own Mandalorian Armor. And it's your videos that really helped me along that journey of discovery with the hobby. And I thank you for being there.
You were the guy who was able to show me all the awesome things that can be done with a 3D printer a year or two ago. From all the videos I've watched of yours, I've learned tons about the power of sandpaper, patience, and spray paint (even though I may not be good at those yet or have access to a good environment to spray paint. I think the most important thing that you've taught me though is the power to look at things and see different uses like car window tint for eye lens tint or a soldering iron for welding. That skill has saved me more times than I can count. Thank you so much.
You’re the entire reason I got involved with 3d printing you’ve been an inspiration and my goto for info I rewatch the electronics builds over and over and watch old lives either to regain info or just as something to listen to and enjoy casually you’ve taught me so much and continue to teach your channel has brought me a lot of joy especially in just rough and crisis times in my life I’ve had so thank you 🙏
I needed a hobby for myself. Im a machinist and always wanted a wood lathe but dont have that much spare time. I needed something i could do somewhat passively. I was cruising youtube one and came across how to motorize and ironman helmet tutorial pt1. From the end of the little intro of you jn your suit doing the snap i was hooked. I spent the next few months watching every video and researching printers. Fast forward almost a year im doing my first event in a couple weeks and have learned an incredible amount from your videos. Anybody that has some issue i direct them to your channel cuz you have a video covering basically everything. So thank you from all of your subscribers for helping us with this awesome frustrating hobby.
your the reason I brought my first printer . a friend showed me your video . Still, not got round to making my very own mk85 but have so many awesome things we've made that I never thought would be possible to have
Haven't got my 3D printer yet, ships first week of July but been doing cosplay for about 6 years now. I think I've watched just about every video on the channel trying to learn as much as I can for when I start my 3D printing journey. Absolutely love the content you put out and your presence in the community is unmatched. Thank you Frank
Your channel (as well as kiaras workshop and many others) are helping my 7 years of ironman mk3 prototyping getting to the end and start the design of the final MK3 from walsh 3D fully motorized, with sounds, smoke, lights...
As a software engineer my only problem was how to built it, and this videos shows me how to work with 3D models, sizing, painting it... (I am thinking about electroplate the armor instead of paint it).
Also, i want to document everything via twitter, youtube (not this channel, other channel created for cosplay)...
Thank you for this videos.
congratulations my brother absolutely amazing to see the journey! master peace! too the moon! 1m subs......what iv learned.....make what you want and be happy have fun! the smiles I get from my daughter and when she says im the best dad ever are the best feeling I could ask for!
I love this so much looking back at your journey. I’m newer to your channel and I’ve learned so much from your channel. Watching your videos is what got me to finally buy my first printer. And seeing all the content on your channel helped me trouble shoot, learn the ins and outs of my printer. I can’t wait for the new series. Thanks for being awesome and sharing your passion.
Frank, the one thing i took from this video.... to know im not alone when it comes to the struggle. I will take that break, i will come back to it when im ready, i will take my time..... thanks Frank...
I have been here from the very beginning. I am currently trying to make a TH-cam channel like yours, in the future I want to make a MK85 suit, I was making a suit last year but scraped it half way in because I knew it was going to be terrible. You have helped me with so much with 3D printing and you are the reason I got a 3D printer and do all the cool things I do now.
I’m currently working on a Mark III life size bust, and your videos have been invaluable with the tips on processing and the paint. Not to mention giving me the confidence to attack a project this size. I’ve been doing multi-piece resin prints for years, but this bust is by far the largest fdm project I’ve tackled. Thank you.
You are an inspiration to so many. I can’t thank you enough for getting me into this amazing hobby. Can’t wait to follow you on the next journey.
It's hard to choose one video when all videos were just as helpful and inspiring. Even if I wasn't there from the very beginning, it feels like I've been watching you for my whole journey of 3d printing. I was so confused and lost on where to start with 3d printing, but I knew there was something I could enjoy doing out of it. You helped me find that enjoyment that I was looking for. I had no other friends then because Covid was such a big hitter, but I'll never forget finding your channel and the video titled "I Made a Battle Damaged Iron Man Helmet! | 3D Printed MK85 Guide". That was the first video I ever watched from your channel at the time and from that moment, I was so excited about my new hobby. Just recently, as you know, I debuted my finished MK85 Iron Man Suit at C2E2 of 2023. I know I keep bringing it up to you whether it be on Instagram or even now, but you don't know how much that has changed my perspective of just committing to something I love, and I'm so grateful that I was able to meet you and get to talk with you, even for a split moment. Just grabbing a photo with you, and having people take photos of us together, was a dream of mine, and definitely, something crossed off the bucket list. You have a kind heart, an open mind, and a bigger soul than anyone could have. Keep pushing on with your goals, and you're going to do wonders for the community you have made. Hopefully, you bring yourself to come back next year for C2E2, I need to get the helmet signed by you and to just talk with you about nerdy stuff. I can't wait to watch and see your upcoming projects. Much love
Looking forward to your new and improved suit/s! Been watching u for about 2 years now and it’s been amazing to see how far you’ve come with your knowledge and skills. Here’s to many more successful printing years 🍻
I learned a lot of different things, and tips to troubleshoot my printer.
I think your sincerity and willingness to share the whole process is what has made you successful. No smoke and mirrors or gatekeeping, just free knowledge.
Here's to your continued success!
Been a big fan for the last several years, but haven't actually found the time to build anything yet. Thanks for doing all of these, and really looking forward to the updated tutorial.
Great video. I started my Mark85 during Covid as well, watching your first videos, and chatting with you ! Very inspiring ! You're a great guy and you deserve everything good that happens to you. Im gonna quit my job, as well, and run my own cosplay business now, making suits for people, and as well, try to make some youtube videos for French Cosplay Community. Good luck for the future FRANCK !!!!!! And THANK YOU for sharing so many tips with us !!!!!!! Rouch
I have been into 3d printing for almost 15 years. I fell into it because I'm a tinkerer. I'm an engineer (NCSU). When I found your channel 3 years ago, I loved your enthusiasm for the hobby and for wanting to learn the hobby. It just drew me in. Love all your content. Shout-out from Wake Forest!!!!
can't wait for the new suit man!! you're actually the reason i got into the 3d printing hobby and WHY i'm making a mk39 suit
I've honestly learned so much from your videos that I have started translating into my own projects. I had no idea how to size things before coming to your videos and that alone was one of the biggest steps I needed to learn as I am a large individual, and most files that are put out there are not made with me in mind. Sanding and painting techniques that I had never tried was another, and while I have not yet entered the realm of electronics, the info is there if I decide I do want to with the next two projects I have planned. I can't thank you enough for the channel Frank, and I'm just glad that a great personality like yours decided to take this journey and provide the information to those of us who dream to make things.
I've only been 3d printing for a couple of years, bit of a new hobby after moving away from landscape photography. (getting to old to climb mountains in the dark) I came across your channel when I was looking at painting a Mando helmet & discovered your graphite powder video. I hope you'll forgive me when I say I don't watch all your videos but I do watch the ones when you are building helmets or show painting techniques. You have a great big back catalogue of helmet builds which I will watch as I continue my 3d printing journey. I'm not quite confident enough to make a full cosplay suit yet but I am leaning towards making various helmets first. Frank you have a natural ability to teach, I really do learn something new in every video of yours I watch. Sometimes its a massive eureka moment others its a little snippet that can make a big difference. Im looking forward to your new iron man build who knows it might give me the confidence to give it a go myself.
I found your channel early on in my 3D printing, and your Cura settings and orientation for helmets was so incredibly helpful. Then I saw your sanding and finishing, then your painting vids, all so helpful. But I have to say, the greatest lessons I learned from you were that all the settings in the slicer can't overcome mechanical issues and the best advice yet: it's cosplay, it's supposed to be fun, not perfect and that includes 3D prints. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talents, I know making the videos is just as much work as making the props and suits.
Truly a great story and just an incredible person. I wish I had discovered this channel sooner. You make high quality content without all the fluff and clickbait nonsense. Hands down the best tutorial channel I have ever come across and help make 3D printing more accessible for everyone. Because of your videos I have found the confidence to actually want to take up the craft. Once I can get the finances going, I will be joining the 3D print community. Thank you for all you do, and I am excited to see what comes out next
I was into 3d printing before I found your channel, but your channel inspired me to do more. It made me feel like I COULD do the bigger builds and helped me understand how to print way better. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and mistakes!
While I’m not into building an iron man suit I completed a full mandalorian beskar outfit (with a Amban pulse rifle) for Orlando MegaCon this past April and a BoKatan outfit for my wife. We ended up getting’trapped’ in the 501st Legion area one day and almost missed our photo op with Katy Sakoif so many people wanted photos … lol. I’m currently designing an original cosplay character I call ‘future man’ which has some elements of the character from the Dead Pool character who came back from the future. This build has me creating an original weapon from scratch called the ‘x-40 cobalt ion pulse rifle’ as well as his weapon of last resort which is a modified mandalorian heavy weapons tri barrel that can I call an SMV tri-barrel gamma wave disrupter cannon’. He moves through time with his wrist mounted Astral Projection Oscillation Over thruster ( a modified PIP 2000). While all this is happening I’ve been building a full size, operator-on-inside, drivable, fully electro mechanical Dalek. My Dalek is 95% complete but now I need to do all the electromechanical work which is where your channel has been such a big help since I’m basically clueless about electronics! Keep up the amazing work and maybe Iron Man and Dalek Nim or Future Man will run into each other one day!👽🚀
I recently started using 3D printing I'm my prop making and costume making and I've have been watching your videos for a while and now I treat them like my a guiding light thank you and I can't wait to see what you do next
You’ve helped me without even knowing.
I have studied your page and found the relative information I need first of all to get me started only 2 months ago and to help me proceed, whether that’s issues with printing or settings etc.
your page is like the unofficial guide to printing and honestly dude thank you so much for doing what you do and helping everyone get up and running. Hopefully catch you in London next year.
Great video! I used your tutorials for resizing and slicing help, not to mention Cura settings. It’s all been a massive help and appreciate it so much. Thank you 🙏
Thank you, Frank. You and your videos have been a huge help and guide for this hobby. You've taught me how to scale my prints, paint them, and see the many things that can be made using a 3d printer. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you. Keep up the fantastic work!!!
You taught me that projects don't have to be perfect straight away but you can improve them over time
Dude!!!! Your videos documenting these builds haven't just inspired me, I'm more excited about my newest projects than I have been in years!! I've been printing & building electronics for several years. I love taking an idea or an image in my head and turning it into something I can hold and use and be proud of. I've never done cosplay, mainly just things like weather stations, clocks, & RC tanks. But since I saw one of your motorized Iron Man helmet videos, I was hooked!!! It's on like Donkey Kong!!! Your channel is now on my daily watchlist, lol. Thanks, bro. Keep these awesome videos comin!!!
Thank you so much for this channel! I’ve been desperately looking for a new hobby and this channel has given me so much inspiration for something that would have otherwise seemed impossible
Super excited for this build coming up. Your my inspiration and the reason I even got into 3d printing
Thanks for all the resources Frank! They have helped tremendously!
Hey Frank, fairly new to the channel. But what you taught me, that is easy…to start. I now have a 3D printer, I am working on my first iteration of the Starboost helmet, and I am also working on a Kylo Ren helmet for a friend. You helped me to take the final jump. Not sure if I will go for an entire suit…but I love helmets. So thank you for everything you are doing, keep up the great work, and we will see how my adventure goes. Just streaming my prints for now!
I loved the wireless faceplate video!! I used that because my skill set would not allow a opening faceplate, but just using that tutorial made my helmet so much better!
Hey Frank, your videos kept my company during the lockdown while I built my suit. When ever I got stuck they helped me get going again. Thanks for Keeping up the great content.👍
Everything I know about 3d printing did i learn from you. I am just 14 years old and I now started my own project and i already printed my first mk 85 helmet and it came out beautiful😁 thanks for your videos i learned much from them and from you
Amazing man! I love your videos. I learned so much from your channel and the discord. Your channel is what finally motivated me to make my Titanfall 2 Jack Cooper cosplay! Thank you and keep up the amazing work! Can't wait for the new series.
I think you helped a lot of people with everything to be honest. I make a side hustle because of your videos and my kids think I can build anything it’s a great feeling. Thank you for your content 👍👍🇨🇦.
I loved your series and can't wait for the next one! Everything you said is true about the fears of starting such a huge undertaking. You can be sure I'll be following along on the next series and finally jumping into this project.
Your energy, positive attitude, genuine personality are infectious and will carry you well through life. Congrats on your success, well deserved. I'm looking into 3D printing and a search on youtube brought me to your channel. Lots of good information here for me to get started. Anxious to see the next chapter in your projects.
Frank, I've gleamed a few things from you. Some of your print settings, even though speed is not an issue for me, but quality is... no matter how long it takes. And the electronics. I've had far to many head injuries through the years. And even though I know circuits and wiring, I get confused, lost, and flat out frustrated not remembering or being able to comprehend. You talking about the electronics reminds me of things I know, but also new things. Like reed switches, the controller boards, you get where I'm going. Let's not forget getting painting. I have that one in my knowledge bank, but the colors and brands that work best for you. Or a way of applying/masking I haven't tried or forgotten. I am far older than you, like enlisted USMC 1984 older lol. But this old dog does learn new tricks, and you help that process. Love ya Frank (Lee) lol.
Hey, Frankly, it is an amazing journey that you decided to embark on. Thanks to your father, you have made your dreams come true, buddy. Since I subscribe and start watching your videos, I have been very inspired to also do the same for my son to whom I bought his first Ender 3D printer S1 Plus for this past Christmas I am so happy and glad that I did that for him. He is very taken over by it.
Doing his first Halo Mask. Thank you for sharing your wonderful and special journey that you started 8 years ago, and I'm pretty sure your father is watching you. And mother as well are very proud of you.💯👏👍🙌👌✌️🙏💯💝💪🏼
Everyone of you videos has taught me something and they all have inspired me to create more.
Hey Frank I normally don't comment on TH-cam videos but wanted to thank you for getting me back into the hobby after a near death experience from a heart attack / cardiac arrest at the beginning of this year.
Mentally I couldn't face and didn't have the energy to do anything when I came out the hospital but I could watch your videos as I did in the past before the attack.
Little by little you helped relight the fire of creating helmets so thank you and I hope we meet at next year's MCM
Frank, Thank you for making this video and sharing the journey that you've been on with this suit. While it may not be documented (or shared) like your project, I underwent a very similar build story to make my dream come true of the master chief suit from Halo 3. Your videos and progress were one of the things that inspired me to keep going even when I hit the wall with that project. I also really resonate with your sentiment of making friends through these crazy projects. Without the other Halo cosplayers I met along the way I would have never finished. I really hope to get to meet you at a con some day and see one of your suits!
Why are u out there!!” Shows how humble you still are able to joke about other things in a serious moment. I also am getting better at 3d printing and it is because of your videos. Thank you.
Your videos and responses to questions has inspired me to continue my 3d printing journey. Looking forward to the new series...
I’ve been using your meshmixer to armorsmith technique for years and it’s done me wonders. Magnetic faceplates will always be my ultimate go to. Keep teaching us brother👊🏾🔥🔥🔥
Love your content man!!! You have taught me so much about 3D printing back when I had an Ender 3 Pro, and now, I have just about finished my first big prop, the master sword! I’ve learned how to do all of it from you, from the mark 39 to the swords and helmets! Thank you so much for all of it!!!
Your videos inspired me to venture further into 3d printing. Before I felt like things like a a full suit were unreachable for me, but through your videos I've built enough confidence to take on the project.
This video was a very fitting and needed conclusion to the series and start of a new one! It’s amazing you have grown so much and I know I will be following all of your future endeavors.
scaling and painting really helped me improve my winter soldier arm
I love your videos, and loved meeting you at C2E2. It was the highlight of my entire trip. I look forward to seeing your new content for the MK85, so I can build one of my own. If you ever decide to auction off the old MK85. I imagine you could get a lot of people interested in trying to win it as a display piece.
I followed your starboost videos for my own build. I agree with your back to basic theory. There is definitely something to be said for cool electronics, but basically equipment still works. Super keen to see the new setups.
Amazing video ! I pretty much watched all your videos and watch the progress. You’re an amazing content creator and a great human being. Can’t wait for the new ultimate MK 85. Literally picked up 3D printing cause of you so I can continue upgrading my Red Hood cosplay .
Thank you for the project updates over the years Frank. I've been working on a 3D SIC Kamen Rider Faiz since 2021 and you're the inspiration to keep going. The tutorials and mistakes have been so humanizing and relatable. I look forward to seeing what comes next. See you on IG
Congrats Frank! Fantastic video and all the best in all of your future builds!
you taught me how to literally do the whole hobby, from bed levelling to sizing. Without your videos i would have never gotten into this hobby. thankyou
Great video. I'm just in awe at the suits/helmets you have worked on. The one thing that hit close to home in your video is "Take your time". I'm just starting out in 3D printing and I want to go fast so I can go onto the next project. I will take this advice and slow it down. Thanks for all your hard work and tutorials you have provided. I reference them every time I go to the next step in post print. See you at GalaxyCon Raleigh (I hope).
Keep up the good work Frank. Stay true to yourself! Looking forward to your new series of videos on Ultimate MK 85 build. You have inspired me not to give up my 3D printing journey. PS your electonic tutorials are really helpful, make more of them ;)
Awesome work Frank, have followed you since england, keep it up.
Amazing content, found your channel not long ago, and learning so much, thank you for all you do!
Learned so much from you I can’t even start to name everything. Very informative and inspiring.
4:46 BOY! Who you tellin? I once tried to make a Pepakura helmet in 2018 and the got damn rain ruined it!
I've been in the Power Rangers cosplay scene for 4 years as the Red Lighting Turbo Ranger and I always received the amazed look on their faces when I tell them I made the suit myself. However, the 3d printed helmet was "the crown jewel" of the suit with the lights and I have also tried to add a helmet fan to the design as well on my own.
Then I came across this channel and it gave me the idea where cosmetically I can do better than what I have so far. I kept watching the channel to get more information on the progress of your suit and it has been very informal and humorous too. Now, after gathering as much information as I could, I'm almost tempted to go to the next level of costumes; making a Megazord!
That will be the biggest challenge of them all! That for a future project.
Anyway, thanks for the videos.
I don't have a 3d printer, I just love hearing frank talk about how passionate he is about his crafts.
I just started 3d printing recently but by watching what people like him have done I want to do large scale printing but it’s difficult with a printer that’s not big enough for stuff like helmets
I love this video. I really appreciate the insight and history. You've inspired so many, to include myself to have the confidence and will to keep pushing forward with this hobby that turned into a business opportunity. Thank you.
Thank you for this incredibly emotional journey. We all learned so incredibly much from you and still do today. But holy shit, am I/ are we excited for the new project. You inspired me to build a suit too. I am grateful for every video and above all for the great community.❤❤❤
Dude! you are an amazing person and I'm glade I've been on the sidelines through most of this process, I can't wait for your ultimate series (I think I might have suggested the name back then - other might have too, can't take credit) your use of tea lights! I used one in my thermal detonator
Just wanna say thank you! I really appreciate all your videos and tutorials you have now I’m following your star boost one now as I make my own suite and it super helpful keep up the good work!
