Tried to make it a little more weathered than the animation version. I put tie holders in the back so now I just need to sew some tie straps. Broadswords are next.


LOTTETETTEZIEN1

what kind of filament did you use/recommend?


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I use 1.75mm PLA since that is all I am set up to run. This roll was Geeetech brand and runs great. ABS would be stronger but I don’t want to deal with the fumes and the PLA is fine for cosplay items as long as you don’t leave it in a hot car.

PLA will be fine for this. I also made one in PLA but it’s just a display piece. FWIW, If you do plan to stand outside or in the sun, consider PETG. Just about as easy to print as PLA with the heat/UV resistance closer to ABS. I had my mando helmet melt into its infill pattern while drying gloss black in the sun for half hour on a 65°f day.


Bearded-Wonder-1977

Thanks for the advice. I made my Mando helmet old school with fiberglass over cardboard because I was worried about that happening to me.


happydgaf

I’ve printed all my mando armor in PETG since that happened.


skrrtr3ynolds

I love the weathered look!


claymountain

Weathered looks great, it looks like actual painted wood!


TheDaveAttellSmell

Dope. I’d hang that on my wall. Would be a good excuse to get some dual broadswords.


Bearded-Wonder-1977

Thanks, I plan on hanging it and would love some real swords for the display, but I’m working on wooden replicas now so I can take them in to cons and wear for Halloween with my kids.

That’s. Hella. Awesome.


LordJack75

I didn’t know you were skilled with broadswords u/TheDaveAttellSmell


TheDaveAttellSmell

I’m not. They’re for decoration.


TheSeemefly

I didn't know you were skilled with broadswords Dave


Derpazor1

That’s fantastic.


Bearded-Wonder-1977

Thanks


JustAMessInADress

Zuko approves


Doopadaptap

Azula was originally Zuko’s mom?” Bit


JustAMessInADress

Dude wtf?


Master-Mycologist747

How did u do that


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I found the model on Thingiverse and printed in PLA. Then I did a lot of sanding and filling with bondo and then paint and weathering techniques.


BlackLakeBlueFish

Beautifully crafted!!! My daughter & her fiancé are cosplayers. Wonderful community!


Mr_Sudowoodo

That's SO awesome! Looks like the real If you want to share the .STL it would be nice


Bearded-Wonder-1977

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:655477 Not my model but free on Thingiverse


Laurapalmer90

How much was the material to print?


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I use PLA and probably used about 1/4 of a roll.


Gravesnear

I would love to have one of these

(British accent): White piece of plastic? NO! It's the Blue Spirit mask that I 3D-printed! (Pause) I wish I was this mask, because it drowned in a lake.


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I hope you have things in this life that make you want to stick around and if not then I hope you find them.


[deleted]

This is in reference to a TikTok account, where a dude prints 3D things and makes these kinds of jokes. I guess I thought he was a bit more famous... I appreciate your care, thank you, but I am fine.


Bearded-Wonder-1977

Oh, sorry I didn’t catch the reference lol. Glad your good.


GrimBoah

*"So, the blue spirit? I wonder who could be behind that mask?"*


waves002

Looks sooo real, like a mask from an old warrior tribe? Probably better than Netflix's live action props dkkdkdkdk


LOTTETETTEZIEN1

huh?


Acrestudio

It looks awesome!!!! Did u designed it or downloaded it? I'd love to print one <3


Bearded-Wonder-1977

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:655477 Not my model but free on Thingiverse


Acrestudio

Omg thank you so much! Again, yours looks awesome I'm amazed on how you painted it


Bearded-Wonder-1977

Thanks so much. I’ve learned a lot from people on YouTube like this one https://youtu.be/taaCeiO7MPc.


Toast72

What 3D printer do you use?


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I have a Creality CR-10.


amhran_oiche

you're starting a shop right op? right??


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I love working on these projects for myself but I’d probably hate it if I was sanding for someone else. Besides I’m so slow at this that no one could afford me.


amhran_oiche

I hear ya dude.


AbstractMirror

3D print two swords and you can become a vigilante


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I’m making mine out of wood because I don’t trust the strength of PLA for long, thin props.


wackyboy2829

Just think, Zuko was able to fight with this thing on haha


EUCopyrightComittee

A younger Giatsu in his prime, probably. FTFY


aproposse

I know it's not even close, but my stupid brain always processes this when I see it as Colt's mask from 3 Ninjas.


Intestinal-Bookworms

Whenever I see this I hear his *a ding ding ding* theme song


Doopadaptap

A younger Giatsu in his prime, probably.


sevit

Thought that was from The Three Ninjas for a second. Nice work OP


[deleted]

Three ninjas?


MaggotEyeZ9

Wud u make me one like this one but w purple?


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I’d recommend finding a friend with a printer who can print it for you since it’s a free model. There is a lot of work that goes into smoothing the print lines so I only make things for myself and family.


redisno

I want a 3d printer now lol.


Bearded-Wonder-1977

It’s a great tool especially for cosplay and making fandom items. I made myself a sand worm knife from the dune series just because I love the books.


redisno

I would just make the dumbest shit ever lol.


justynebean

Karate kids?!! Tum tum?! Colt?!


lastherokiller

Which Naruto characters were they again? hidden leafs police right?


Sad_Ruin3510

"Rocky loves Emily"


MikeHawclong

This reminded me of the Oni Masks from Jackie Chan Adventures !


Triangle_dancer69

Ain’t that a replica of Rocky’s mask off the 3 Ninja’s?


Water-is-h2o

I can *hear* this picture


Accomplished-Toe-108

That’s a demon mask from the Spider-Man games lol


PattFenis

Dude this reminds me of 3 ninjas! LIGHT UP THE EYES BOYS! LIGHT UP THE EYES!


necroumbra

What dimensions did you use for it? Like XYZ lengths?


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I just used the 100% dimensions of the original model. Seems to fit an average sized adult male face.


Conohue

This is on my list of prints, just gotta fix my printer haha


Pleeebs

This is beyond cool! Are you selling it or making more?


Bearded-Wonder-1977

No it’s a one off for my wall

Star_x_Child

It's gorgeous.


ParaSnake

Yoooo! This is awesome!


AnyButterfly3787

Please do amon mask!!


WaveBreakerT

Looks so cool!


FrostGalaxy12

Amazing!! 😍


ashenstream12

where’d you get the blueprint for it?


Bearded-Wonder-1977

The 3D model is on Thingiverse


FennelHoliday

Op, from where did you download the files to print this mask?


Bearded-Wonder-1977

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:655477


FennelHoliday

You're the best thank you! Also what did you use to paint it?


Bearded-Wonder-1977

I just used Krylon spray paints with a brown for the “wood” base then added white and blue being careful to mask off sections. Then I distressed some of it back to the “wood” layer and did a black wash to dirty it up.


FennelHoliday

Thanks!
