Ben Eadie is a movie prop maker, practical special effects designer, inventor, nerd, and is a high collared cape and monocle away from being a mad scientist.
I have learned a lot working on movies like Ghostbusters: Afterlife, StarTrek Beyond, Maze Runner and Predator. I'm here to share my knowledge of prop making, cosplay tips and tricks, and EVA foam projects.
I’ll give you tips on computer aided design and 3D modelling with SolidWorks and OnShape tutorials. I’ll share suggestions for 3D printing, sanding and finishing 3D prints, DIY projects, prop making, and laser cutting. I also share with you the products and tools I can’t live without.

2:10 🤔 Round the outside, Round the outside
So whats the liquid ?
Thank you so much for this and the pattern. This is AWESOME!!!
Would this work for doing paper crafts?
You look kind of like that army guy on Instagram that makes reaction post. Lol
Would this work with PETG?
How about the Polyfilla?
This is exactly what I wanted to see was possible. Thanks for this video!
Your link to buy it does not work... evidently you never intended to make this beyond the "hype" trial... delete this video then.
We are getting things back on the rails. We intended all along to keep things going. So no I will not delete. But thank you for the suggestion
nice, thx for the tip.
Any chance you would sell or share your 3d print file? Great video btw😎
Thanks for this video! The nLITEn store link is coming up as not available. Is there an alternate link?
You are officially my favourite person today! 😊 Worked beautifully.
Hi, what mil eva foam are you using ? Thanks.
Do you selll any flux capacitors
the main ingredient in plasticard its clorophorm . so be verry carefull .
Please. No. "If you can afford a 3D printer, you can afford a laser cutter" For one i don't have the space for another tool that is the size of 3D printer or larger. If i'm going to have one machine, it's got to be a 3D printer and not a laser. For other how much do you think i spent on my 3D printer? A grand? Try 10 times less. If i need a fit check, i can do a really shitty vasemode print or a single thin cross section quickly enough. Not that quickly, no, but plenty.
It would be good to have a foldable taped construction that you can quickly store and set up. Where the tape is also hinges. Of course tape is not to be taken off, one could have velcro for the spots where the connection needs to be undone for storage.
what can you use instead of cabosil, i cant find it to purchase and my deadline is before the amazon delivery time
I wonder If Eva foam dust (It's collected from my dremel moto saw ) mixed with Eva glue .almost like plastic wood for carpentry (I got this tip from my woodwork classes at school)
I never knew this... but some useful
Can you use "Weld-On 3" as a solvent? Thanks
Is it recommended for ABS?
Bro, you act like you invented the wheel, this has been known for literally decades..close to a century..ever sense rubber contact cement was invented
Sadly, not all of us know everything since it was invented. I'm glad someone shares things like this. It was new info to me. :)
Having been there, I wish you all the best. Can you tell me where to buy your armor and patterns?
Drama Queen, yes, the smell is prominent. You DO NOT need a respirator for a few ounces of Methyl Ethyl Keton, Methylene Chloride You could allow the entire bottle to evaporate in a two bedroom home and my sniffer would even cause an alarm If you were to allow it to evaporate in a small bathroom, you might pass out if you didn't have a fan Anyone who took this personally. I just can't stand drama queens. Brother, one of my vids I neutralized sulfuric acid no hood, no respirator just gloves at the sink with a face shield that was dangerous, this is childsplay compared to sulfur gas I could see a 5 gallon or 55 gallon drum gassing off but a few ounces 😂🤣😂 Laugh my ass off! Note: This technique has been used since the 80s for industrial repair of plastic parts no longer in production. Example, machine cover, component box etc 90s kids used it building their models
Foam Armory seems to be defunct. Is there a way to buy your maille?
Hi! Have you tried baby powder?
Just put about an inch or so of acetone pooled at the bottom of a plastic container and then suspend your printed piece above the liquid with the container sealed closed for around 10-15min
You're a busy Man though and I think people get that Ben! 🙌🏼🙏🏼♥️
Is hobby lobby off shelf . Your product? I hope so. I'm about to buy a few packs . They are very affordable. Under 4$ a package
Awesome tip!
Low-cos(t)clay
Once made how long is the shelf life
It really depends on how well the container is sealed. Couple weeks easy, with the right container months/
@@DreadMakerRoberts Thank you
I have tried the link. It dosen't go anywhere. How to I get some of this?
Canadian gun show!
For those saying "just remove the battery" - that's not really an option. I received mine yesterday, and the battery consists of the entirety of the extended body, so when you remove it, you remove the bottom half of the body. Can you use these radios in the US? I'm moving to California in June, so was planning on getting my license when I'm settled.
One way to do this is, I found out recently and it was a forehead slapper, Tape off the battery terminals on the inside of the battery. It blocks the flow!
@DreadMakerRoberts - Ah! Of course! That's perfect, thanks Ben.
Was the follow up how-to ever posted for these?
Plans don't exist
Maybe try a tiny hand planer?
Excellent!. Works great for on the fly containment and this really does help. I am Using until I get my enclosure finished… (Heck, I am no longer in any rush😂).. Mega Thanks for documenting, Maga Thanks for posting! Really, Rad-🤙🏻
The website link is not working
It seems that when you put it down sound hard to me air clay you drop and it bounces back..
You mean painting
There’s another way to do it. This is an old gunpla trick. (For gunpla we use a different chemical, but it’s the same process) PLA is alcohol soluble. ABS is acetone soluble. Both are MEK soluble(methyl-ethyl keytone) take some extra plastic( of the same type as the part), and then make a liquid solution using the chemical of choice and use this as your “glazing putty”. It fuses the plastic together at the molecular level. It is impossible to remove. This can also function as glue to glue parts together. Be careful not to use too much chemical as it will eat through the plastic, that’s what it’s supposed to do. By dissolving the outer layer of plastic and brushing on new plastic you make a new layer on the micro scale that cannot be removed and can be sanded and worked once dry. The ideal ratio will dry in 2 minutes or less and bonds almost instantly. You will see brush marks so be careful and gentle handed. start with 1:1 mix of plastic and chemical and add chemical to get desired consistency. The more chemical you add, the less brush marks will appear, but the more likely it is to melt the part, and vice versa. MEK is nasty stuff and can cause brain damage and cancer. Use that PPE. Practice on a spare part and adjust until you reach desired results. I hope this helps someone. ❤+✌️
Is there a way to make the printer go outer ring-->zigzag-->inner ring-->inner ring-->zigzag-->outer ring in one fluid motion? U can do this on paper in one move.
Cream of tartar??
An update on my part: i've noticed that just a machined edge is enough, doesn't need to roll it at all. It can be much less aggressive, and now i have a series of less and less aggressive edges on tools.. and the choice is pretty much always a very lightly rolled edge and the one that is straight out of the machine, it is just very sharp 90 degrees. Found a cheap wood carving kit that i repurposed.
You're rebuilding one. I'm gonna make one cause I want a custom RC car.
great idea but I would be afraid to scratch the surface too deep, I prefer little angle polisher like the wp/e that can go slow (about 1000rpm) and it wont melt the 3d printed pla surface also with a foam interface pad you can sand curved surfaces. I always sand my pla and resin prints from 120grit (remove layer lines from fdm printed parts) up to about 4000grit for a nice glossy finnish
