One hole down 269 more to go. Drilling the odoshi (lacing) holes for the Fujin Kabuto (helmet). #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3ddesign #japanese #armor #kabuto #fujin #samurai

Test for a future project. Any guess as to what it is? #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #yoroi

Having a real attachment for these parts. Plastic welding the halves of the Raijin and Fujin shikoro (neck guard) together. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #raijin #fujin #yoroi

Raijin's fukigaeshi. Using the tomoe symbol in an open 3D design to create visual interest through light and shadow. This is the blowback on the side of a kabuto (helmet) #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3ddesign #kabuto #samurai #armor #yoroi #raijin #tomoe

Fixed Fujin's Face. Quick alteration to the computer file then back to the 3D printer. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #samurai #armor #3dart #fujin #kabuto #yoroi

Sometimes you find your own way. I 3D printed a quick release bracket for an unused #geekoto tripod to #kitbash a secure airbrush holder with remote regulator. Now I can have the compressor off to the side but have my airbrush and pressure adjustment close by. #lulzbot #3dfuel

Proof that 3D printers will make exactly what you give them. Not sure what caused this, but reviewing the computer model, the missing layers are there...or not there. #lulzbot #3dartist #3dfuel #3dprinting #fail

Testing my tolerance. Sometimes it's not about 3D printing large objects. Sometimes it about dialing in tolerances just a fraction of an inch for a tight fit. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3ddesign #3dprinting

Fukigaeshi for Fujin. The fukigaeshi (armor blow-back) for my Fujin (Japanese God of Wind) kabuto feature a wind motif. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #japanese #samurai #kabuto #fujin #armor

Staples anyone? 3D printing the shikoro (neck guard) for my Raijin and Fujin kabuto were trickier than expected. I ended up using custom supports in Cura to staple them to the build bed. #lulzbot #3dprinting #3dfuel #3dartist #samurai #kabuto #armor #raijin #fujin

Finished 3D printing two sets of shikoro (neck guards) for my Raijin and Fujin kabuto (helmets). Ready for assembly. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #samurai #raijin #fujin #kabuto

Learned 3 new ways to not do 3D printed supports. Frustrating, but I learn more from the parts that don't come out. #silverlining #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #3ddesign

Happy Halloween! #momotaro #samurai #armor #mask #yoroi #happyhalloween #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting

Happy accident. After accidently printing the mabizashi (visor) too thin, I made some subtle adjustments to the design that give it more definition. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #samurai #raijin #fujin #happyaccident #kabuto

Caption: "Holey parts Batman!" or "Distracted by your doom". This happens when you're working and your friend texts you that AI is replacing you as an artist. On the bright side, surprisingly durable for such a thin 3D print. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #ai #art #kabuto #samurai

I am Ironman. Perfecting my technique with the wood iron to smooth steep layer lines on 3d printed parts. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #handcrafting #momotaro #samurai #armor

I need another kabuto. prepping my Raijin kabuto for 3D printing on the Workhorse at full size. #3dartist #3ddesign #kabuto #samurai #armor #raijin #japanese #lulzbot #3dfuel

Fix it in post. Instead of discarding a print because of a layer shift, I decided to fix it by hand. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #3dart #yoroi #momotaro #japanese #samurai #armor #fixitinpost #brokenwings
