I’ve been cosplaying for over 12 years now and every time I see a video of yours I learn something new and amazing. I just bought my first 3d printer (a creality k1 max) and I’m excited to get into the world of 3d printed cosplay thank you for providing such amazing inspiration and education

I would love an Armor Smith tutorial that includes how to take your measurements right ! You can also import a 3D scan into Armour Smith I believe , so you can merge the two last methods :) Just a bummer that the good scanning Apps are all on the Apple store because for once Iphones actually have a feature that is unique and useful for the Cosplaying community 😬

I'm so excited to see the increase in content from your channel! This year has been the first year I dive into 3D printing and cosplay in general. I've been practicing with the arduino and I'm still very beginner but learning it will be a valuable skill in being creative! I bought some ws2812B LEDs and find it's a lot to take in. There are plenty of resources, but it definitely gets overwhelming. I think you are good at putting things in simple terms so IF possible, could you make a video on how to design and hook up LEDs into your projects? Or maybe explaining the differences between different micro controllers, batteries (tradeoffs, recharging), wiring, electrical topics, etc. Otherwise, glad to see your video Frank and thanks for reading me :D

Hey Frank, lately I’ve had some issues with my printer. Long story short, I found out one of the issues is that the lines are so thin and that’s because it gets stuck at the end of the Bowden tube. What would you recommend doing about this?

@MidKnightriderR6 Жыл бұрын

I'm curious if their armored Deadpool is to the same scale. If you can make the Ironman work at 5'8" then I should be golden at 5'10". For the most part anyway. I have armorsmith but haven't really tinkered with it other than initial setup. So I'll be looking forward to that video.

Hi Sir, I started follow you. You have amazing videos. I like this 3D printer Technology. I want to buy my first printer, and thanks to your videos I now know which one is the best for me. I am a back to the future fan, I want to create a Mr Fusion base adapter for my coffee grinder Krups 233, is the same one used in the movie. I wanted to see if you can make a tutorial to do this because I saw a videos tutorial but it wasn’t good and it is 8 years old. I think it would be great for someone like you with your educational skills to create a good quality tutorial for a Back to the future fan. Thank you and You are amazing.

@RichAntonelli Жыл бұрын

I know this is an older video but for some reason, my meshmixer doesn’t let me click from point to point anywhere to measure my models. You are able to click pretty much anywhere and it makes the line wherever you want. I’m unable to do that. Is there some sort of setting for this? The only line that ever shows up is off to the side or not at the widest parts that I want to measure. Been frustrated for weeks trying to figure this out.

You need to change the units in the Scandy Pro export screen or change the units in meshmixer. by default, Scandy Pro exports in units of meters. You can change that to cm, mm, or inches in the export screen - just tap the you choise on the 'Scale' option before hitting 'Export'.
