*procrastinates on chem homework by watching this* *skye pulls up the chemical structures* *involuntarily starts naming the function groups on the structures* Great video! Planning on using EVA foam for my first headbase because it's lightweight and can be cut out in patterns and glued to itself to make forms, but not rigid like resin or 3D printed heads. It's a spideer (spider/deer hybrid) with a bunch of big extra eyes all over so I'm not sure how sturdy upholstery foam will be with that many eyeholes. Especially in the muzzle which has numerous eyeholes to maximize ventilation.

I love your videos so much! They're so in depth and comprehensive! I'm curious if you've ever tried a 3d printed head. Aren't they more breathable? Do they fur well, or do you need to use EVA foam to pad the base? And does it need a sort of mesh base over the holes to avoid pits in the fir? 😅 Thank you so much,! You're such a treasure to the furry community. 🥰

@SkyehighStudios 7 ай бұрын

It’s not my preference personally, 3D prints aren’t as porous unless there’s holes, I find them a bit tricky when it comes to heat and warping, I’ve not really used them myself but I’ve had to fix them before. I’m a bit old fashioned I suppose and love my foam bases xD

@thenoodeeateryuhh 7 ай бұрын

I don’t really have personal experience on that front, but generally I’d assume it’d be harder to work with than a foam base since you can’t adjust it as easily- but that would confirm a parallel head I suppose. I’m not sure how well it furs, but if you’re worried about that you could probably add some thinner layers of foam over the base.

@ThumbKnuckle 7 ай бұрын

I do eva foam head bases because they are consistent and I love consistent results and after an initial investment eva foam is much cheaper to use than upholstery.

Dunno if I should say where I work so publicly but…here goes I work at a clark rubber, I work in the foam area mainly. The one I work at has a huge range of EVA foam sheets in various sizes and densities. We also have High density, Standard Density, two types of enduro, acoustic and car seat/motorcycle seat/quad bike seat foam. Just call your nearest store to see what they stock.

Hello, I am a new fursuit maker and I was wondering if you could make a tutorial (or a tips and tricks video) on how to carve foam with *scissors only*? I have seen some fursuit makers do it yet they still have impossibly smooth foam. I can’t use an electric cutter or anything expensive except fabric scissors. So I think it would be e really helpful for me if you could make a video on this, thanks! If you find me commenting this everywhere, it’s because there’s literally no videos I can find.

@Rax_is_Bored 7 ай бұрын

I have a question and need answers (from any experience fursuit maker)!! What types of foam should you AVOID? I have some low-density upholstery foam thats a bit worn out but hasn't been used. Could I use that? Or should I just buy new foam? Thanks!

@KiroTheFox 7 ай бұрын

Special question! Will I need half-inch foam for anything? If so, what would I need it for? I’m trying to keep it under 500 and it’s 470, (Without tax) and I’m just trying to make the cost lower. Thanks!!!

@furryLover28 5 ай бұрын

yes it can be toxic if you wear it for WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too long, it can create mold and you could get a heat stroke and could be life threatening. im not saying like you cant wear your fursuit for more than 5 minutes only i usually am not a fursuiter but i am a furry but ive learned that you may have a break every 30 minutes, sit down, take a drink of water and relax for probably 5 mins.
