With this tutorial you learn to cut precise bevel cuts in EVA foam for your cosplay builds. This tip in cosplay changes the game for me in many ways. My bad hand cutting bevels in EVA is a thing of the past.

I love this idea and I love the tutorial! Thank you so much Ben!

@marvelguy2001 Год назад

Can you maybe try making a prop using this tutorial in your next video?

@DreadMakerRoberts Год назад

I’ll work towards that in the future

@marvelguy2001 Год назад

@@DreadMakerRoberts Thanx. I was actually talking to Odin as well.

I don't even have a laser yet and already very excited to see the potential from techniques like this!

@nickjm007 24 дня назад

This is exactly what I wanted to see was possible. Thanks for this video!

@joetkeshub 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much Ben! I came across your helpful post almost by accident. I ignored that you can use mesh mixer to flatten parts of a volume. I often use Blender but it's overkill for simple sculpture. You just save my day! You earn a new subscriber. Thank you!

@elizabethkihara2668 4 месяца назад

Clever way to get a bevel. Using a dremmel you could do the same thing faster but it's still a great alternative especially if you know how to use design software. It's also given me ideas for different effects

@rolandblais 2 года назад

That is flippin' clever. Sold! I am buying my laser today. Thank you for all the tips & tricks!

@DreadMakerRoberts 2 года назад

Remember to get the long focus (LF) module and air assist. :)

@GriddlockCosplay 2 года назад

Hey Ben! I just got my laser set up yesterday and already it is performing well for me. Thanks for the recommendation! Many ideas now.

@DreadMakerRoberts 2 года назад

Ya this is a super handy tool. I got plenty of more ideas coming.

@ShafaqIftikhar-pw9ld 10 месяцев назад

Awesome! I just got a 10 watt diode laser recently and learning how to use it. Being able to do bevel engraving would be great. New subscriber.

@TheNextDecade 7 месяцев назад

Bless you Ben!!! I was just looking for a way to do this on my Muse Titan. Different means to do it on my end, but VERY similar concept. Genuinely can't thank you enough for this idea man!!!

@DreadMakerRoberts 7 месяцев назад

Glad I could help!

@parkerbradshaw4122 2 года назад

I would love a video going through the feature scripts you use, don't forget to update them all!

@DreadMakerRoberts 2 года назад

In this case not one feature script was used. But more and more I am seeing people wanting Onshape tutorials and I will start making some.

The new 1.2 version of Inkscape allows you to resize relative to the selected corner! Select an object and click on one of the 8 arrow handles. The dimensions at the top of the screen will then be applied relative to the selected corner. You can see it in action in the official Release notes, under Selector Tool section

@DreadMakerRoberts 2 года назад

Thank you!

@Cheeky_Chelsea Год назад

yay thank you so much, im getting a laser engraver primarily for foam and had no clue which module to buy. Thanks for saying you have the long focus module^_^ what do you think about getting the 10 amp laser module?

@DreadMakerRoberts Год назад

If you are doing foam a 5w is plenty so long as it’s grey or dark foams. For white and harder materials like wood look at a 10w. I have a machine with a 5w just for Eva cutting

Where's the link on meshmixer trick?

@chucklachance 2 года назад

Ben, 100 years ago, you used to do SolidWorks videos. Any chance you doing OnSpape how-to’s?

@DreadMakerRoberts 2 года назад

I will do some soon. It will not be my focus but in short yes.

@traciakierman1 2 года назад

Can you convince Albert that I NEED one of these too?

@DreadMakerRoberts 2 года назад

I can try :)

@typesurftypesurf1318 Год назад

Cool video! I think that's a game changer for laser cutting in cosplay. 1. In Foamsmith 3, Bill Doran mentions that laser cutters leave a slight round over on the top of the cut edge, creating less-than-perfect seams. Did you have different results? (I suspect that an air assist might prevent it) 2. I consider developing a software tool for laser cutting pieces with bevel cuts and textures (and maybe other cool features like efficient grouping and splitting of pieces to multiple prints). Do you think you/other people will pay for it?

@DreadMakerRoberts Год назад

1. Yes I have had different results. I find the UV laser cuts a much sharper edge than a CO2 that bill has. 2. You can totally develop a tool but I find that lightburn has all I need. I would like to try anything you build though!

@typesurftypesurf1318 Год назад

@@DreadMakerRoberts Thanks for the feedback! Probably the proposed tool will output to Lightburn, but it will support creating bevels in one click (select line -> "bevel" -> maybe set angle), and maybe texturing pieces (which is a cool thing I didn't see people do with lasers yet).

@walterhynson2898 Год назад

the stuff you are cutting puts out really bad fumes when it is burned and will cause COPD ASAP please use a vent fan to the ouside.

@DreadMakerRoberts Год назад

How do you know I was not doing just that?

@@DreadMakerRoberts you need a fan hood over the machine

Instructions too hard for my feeble brain to understand..... resorted to a slightly tilted hobby knife.......results crappy, but achievable.

@DreadMakerRoberts Год назад

Scrappy is totally acceptable... The goal is not how you cut things. Its what the end product is.
