Finally! A great video comparison for tough resin props. Been looking everywhere for something like this, and you totally confirmed what I thought, that nylon green is the strongest! Thank you! Printing time must be terribly long though, right? Did you use the recommended 20 or 30 seconds per layer? What kind of post-curing did you use?
How did you attach the arms of the motorizing kit to the helmet? Since the Walsh3D helmet require heat-set inserts to screw all the arms to the faceplate and the lip, but as resin is heat resistant you cannot put them in as easy as with a normal FDM print.
At the time resin was a bit expensive and doing a mix did bump up the price. So probably about 900$ at the time of the build. Now the resins are way cheaper.
Thank you, yeah it motorized I reprinted the helmet since the V5 version si I can install the brass inserts. What I do is just heat them up with a heat hun and it melts the resin away.
Damn, I gotta get me one of those! Not the biggest fan of the game, but I’ve always had a thing for futuristic Japanese aesthetics; the Yoroi armor was right up my alley, and the Yokai just looks amazing. Although the Chimera core isn’t half bad, either. Just get the merrow helmet while it’s still available… the base one looks meh.
The app I used at the time was called Bellus3d fae app in the apple store but the app is no longer available don't know why. You should be able to use any 3d face scans app that they have on the store.
@@Rosin_3d Thank you! I'm actually thinking about getting into 3D printing, both FDM and Resin. Your video is quite inspiring, I always wanted to have an Iron Man helmet, but never thought of scanning my head separately and then adjusting the file on my laptop. I wanna do this as a hobby, I like to sand and paint items, but my background is in Cyber Security. So sounds like a great hobby, which is time consuming and will keep me away from bad habits. Thanks for inspiring and great video!
Yeah, resin part can be wear just fine once there cured, The durability is decent due to the mix of resins it survived Dragoncin 2022 with no issues besides scratching up the paint a bit.
@@Rosin_3d My question is similar to @MoneyReign. Thanks for your answer..Would you say it's as durable as PETG? If so, I may do my next project with resin instead of FDM. Thanks in advance!
I love it! I'm just very curious that you may or may not notice while wearing the suit, it scratches where your limbs move. In the bicep and shoulder area, you've created scratches when they scraped against your obliques/chest area. Are you going for pure display or cosplay purposes? If so I would suggest adding foam or felt (or soft material in general) in between the areas where they make contact.
Yes sir, i got all those scratches while wearing the suit in dragoncon last year. this year I'm gonna fix the scratches nad probably put a clear 3m vinyl on the parts that will get hit the most in order to kept it scratch free and wear it to more cons.
