Real x2. I just feel kinda stuck with 3D printing techniques because they all require you to buy model files ($10-$15), and then send it to a print shop to print it. Not against 3D printing, it is just not viable for a lot of people (or too expensive), because it can cost you $100 just to get a simple model printed (paint job not included). I'd rather spend my money on paints because that is the part I enjoy the most. And unless you are going for a cosplay contest, I don't think it needs to be THAT polished.

This is more lore accurate. with how fast Im dying in helldivers 2, theres no doubt in my mind that the cadet armor isnt made out of foam.

Well, it never says it isn't, so it remains plausible. (More likely than you'd think).

So many videos use 3d printing now compared to several years ago. Foam is way more accessible. I hope you make some more helmet designs

Yes, I feel that 3d printing is overrated. But it is just not viable for most people unless you already own a 3d print shop.

I hope he does the whole armor set next, 3D printing is hella expensive and foam is the shit!!

I do love your videos, guys. You always make my day. And no Liam, you are definitely not my mom. The helmet came out super cool and I hope mine ends up at least halfway as good. Thank you for what you do!

thanks for give free the template i apreciate that

dude you make some of the best foam props and helmets I've ever seen currently building an ncr ranger helmet, definitely adding this one on my to-do list aswell

Dude you need to redesign your Ashen Warrior logo. It has so much potential to look epic and professional. Just 2 cents.

Cant wait for the whole armor the helmet looks awesome!

Commenting for the algorithm gods. Great work brother and it’s awesome to see you posting vids again!

It's good to see some foam options out there A lot of work is needed for foam or 3d printing to get them ready but either way works

@ashenwarriorprops

Agreed! I have no issue with either option. I was jokingly throwing shade. I do prefer to make stuff by hand before I print tho!

Gonna have to get high grit paper for my oscillating multi tool! I get obsessed with smoothness as well.

One question tho... When you say you do the 800 grit sanding... Do you just go to straight 800 grit and just sand the hell out of it to get it this smooth... Or do you do the typical start with lower and work your way up to 800?

@ashenwarriorprops

@@thesladeo depends on my time crunch! This one I had pretty smooth from the get go so I pretty much just hung out at 800 for a bit

The dome pattern needs registration marks though 🤔 I used the template and build the helmet last week with no instructions and somehow managed to get it to work :D

Oh? I’ve never put registration marks on stuff except for very limited things. Never had a problem so far. But I’ll keep in mind for next build

Problably after DragonCon, I’m build 4 full suits right now and recording ads 3x the time Frame to any build, so while I’m in crunch mode i have to focus on getting it done. Doing templates also takes a lot of time and if I wanna keep templates free they get pushed to the side for my rare moments of free time. But they will be here eventually

@@ashenwarriorprops O.k. just curious. Been looking on your web site for a while now.

This is perfect! I just bought a roll of foam for a non cosplay related thing and someone gave me the idea to make the armor. Thought why not start with the helmet. I'm glad you made this cuz like everyone said, everyone's 3D printing them lol so thank you for making this! I did download your pdf template but I'm a noob at this kind of stuff, when i go to print the template it's printing it all in one sheet but i see you have it printed out in multiple sheets so how would i go about printing them all out separate?

Right now with how expensive materials are I have to wait until someone commissions that piece and then I can record the build. Since I give most templates away for free I don’t usually make money on build tutorials. So unfortunately I have to work on what pays first.

I don't understand the bill part can someone explain it to me cuz it's the final part of the Helmet 😢

Holy, you don't even need to 3d print or any expensive equipment. Just some cheap recycled junk would do.

You look like you smell nice. Great video btw

Seems like alot of work when 3d printing is a thing. People saying its expensive to 3d print?? You can get a decent used printer for less than $200.

Also printed props are weaker and most studios I work for don’t want a printed prop. Often times handmade is more rewarding and can look just as good if not better

Nothing against ypur craftingskill, your stuff looka awesome. But you skip so many steps and without bendmarks its hard to get the shape, plus some seem to be mis scaled, mostly the whole ''Bill'' stuff :/

@ashenwarriorprops

Ай бұрын

Yes, I stated my angles were bad in the bill shot, I’m used to having to make things super accurate and takes a lot of time, I often struggle to convey my methods, I’ve had no issue with scaling on my end, could potentially be a printer issue, appreciate the feedback. As for registration marks I’ve been doing this for so long that I rarely need them and often forget about them.

Amazing job!! 🦅🫡
