I helped my neighbor Todd out with a really cool project!
This is my first 3D printed matrix mold and I'm stoked to use this process in the future. #3dprinting #matrixmold

I made an axe from Avowed! You have to wet the EVA foam with water and then the epoxy clay sticks really well. The clay cures rigid, so you lose the foam flexibility, but I didn't need that for this build.

I used stamp ink to make custom printed fabric and it worked great! I 3D modeled the stamp with registration on the edges so I could line up the repeated pattern. #bg3 #baldursgate3

Here's how I make patterns for bracers! When you only have one arm free, it sure helps to have a partner nearby. Thanks, Britt!

When I was 12 years old my family got to see two World Cup matches in NYC. Tickets were $50 apiece.

When chatting about the 3D Printing legislation, keep it simple and to the point: It spends millions of taxpayer dollars, year after year, trying to build software that experts say can't actually be built, and scans your private data as well.

This is the jacket I found for a quick, Cyberpunk-style costume I made for a convention. Leather paints work great on vinyl and so does contact cement!
