Here's a crafting tip that will save you a ton of time and materials. You can transfer your digital cosplay patterns onto EVA foam using an inkjet printer and wax paper. This works especially well for pepakura patterns and for aligning details on foam armor and props.

Where was this video when I was looking for similar things years ago. It just now shows up. Darn you youtubes way of suggesting videos.

will you make a video or have suggestions on videos on how to make your own patterns? to later use this method to transfer.

How do you scale each part and make them larger? Im currently trying to make shin guards

Fantastic! Are there any settings in the printer that you change? Like for the paper type or anything?

@HimboHusbando Жыл бұрын

I haven't really tested changing settings because the default ones worked fine for me. Might vary from printer to printer. Really curious to hear how this works for others.

How is the ink once you transfer it to the eva foam? Is it still really smudgeable?

@HimboHusbando Жыл бұрын

Give it a minute to dry and you can handle it no problem. Just keep in mind that water (and water based products) will cause the ink to run so this is really just good for marking up your foam for cutting and gluing.

Yeap! I learned this technique from woodcarvers and wood burners. You are right, it's just ink.

It's very good,

This sounds (to me) like a lot more faff than just printing normally, drawing around the foam and cutting it out. There are more steps involved with this. I'm not sure how this is supposed to save time, especially when it requires more effort and also trying to not get ink all over you. So, not for me.

@HimboHusbando Ай бұрын

Yah, not really practical for a one-off pattern or simple shapes. But, the sheet is reusable and not all patterns are simple to trace.
