Probably everyone wanted to feel at least for a while in the shoes of their favorite hero. Or briefly be in a fantasy world. Cosplay allows, at least for a while, to plunge into a fictional world with its own laws.

Cosplay should not be confused with role-playing, because cosplay does not imply the development of the character or history of the character. It focuses on the detailed reproduction of the image of the character to the smallest detail.

Some people think that cosplay is limited only to curvy girls in skimpy outfits, but this is far from the case. The skill of some cosplayers is amazing. They manage to single-handedly create amazing things with precision and detail that many workshops cannot reproduce.

A good cosplay is not only an external correspondence to the appearance of the selected character, it is the ability to convey the character and other features of the character (for example, characteristic movements, facial expressions, etc.). At photo shoots, with the help of Photoshop, they try to add the atmosphere of the world to better convey the nuances of the character.

It is believed that the term Cosplay was coined by Japanese journalist Nobuyuki Takahashi. The word itself is a combination of the initial letters of the word costume (costume) and play (play).

The advantage of 3D printing for costume elements

Previously, a cosplay costume was literally made from improvised materials. Each, to the best of his skills, available tools and ingenuity, used various, mainly construction, materials to assemble the costume - isolon, glue gun, tourist rugs, etc.

Now available special materials for the manufacture of parts. The most popular of them is Eva foam.

Eva

Eva is a very convenient material for making a variety of armor. The biggest advantage over other materials is thermoplasticity. When heated, eva easily bends, and after cooling, it keeps its shape. On sale you can find eva foam of various hardness and thickness.


Making armor from eva

But there are certain nuances - for the correct cutting of eva, patterns are needed (there are special patterns or patterns for pepakura are redone). When cutting, it is necessary to take into account the location of the edges and make the cut not straight, but at an angle. Sections, after gluing, must be further processed with sandpaper. The surface of eva is porous, so it is advisable to treat the surface with latex before painting to obtain a smooth surface. For painting and putty, it is desirable to use elastic materials, because eva still remains a little flexible.

Pepakura

Papercraft - this is the name of patterns (reamers) for the manufacture of various elements from paper.

Not only cosplayers are addicted to papercraft, for some it is enough to glue a paper model for a collection.

Usually pepakura is used as an inexpensive and easy way to make massive armor when there is no way to get eva foam.

First, the paper model is glued together. Paper is usually chosen with a high density to minimize the risk of deformation of the model during further work.


Finished paper model

After gluing, the model must be strengthened. For this, fiberglass and epoxy resin are usually used. When impregnating a paper model, it is very important to ensure that the geometry of the model does not "lead". Usually epoxy and fiberglass are applied in several layers. Before applying a new layer, it is necessary to wait for the polymerization of the old one, usually it takes 24 hours.

The resulting model is strong, but too angular. Models in papercraft are high-poly and it is necessary to manually smooth out the angularity with putty and sandpaper. After painstakingly removing the surface of the model, it can be painted.

Models made by this method are very heavy due to epoxy and putty. And the manufacture of one product takes a lot of time, but this method remains popular because of its availability and low cost. Epoxy can be found in any building market, and fiberglass is easily interchangeable with other materials.

Modeling and casting

This method is suitable when you need to quickly produce many identical parts. A master model is made (for example, from plasticine) and a mold is removed from it using special silicone, into which epoxy, special two-component plastics or polyurethanes can then be poured, depending on what characteristics you need to get in the finished product.

To color the finished casting, you can knead the dye into liquid plastic or rub the mold with special powders.

It makes sense to make silicone molds if you need to make many identical elements, it is not advisable to remove the silicone mold for one casting. Silicone is still not cheap and not everywhere you can buy it. In addition, it is necessary to have some skills in silicone and plastic/resin casting in order to minimize the amount of air bubbles and get a quality casting.

Handy materials

And of course, masters know how to use the most unexpected things for cosplay. For example, PVC pipes are often used to make frames for fantasy weapons. Izolon for making feathers for wings, etc.

3D printing

Using a 3D printer to make a complete costume may not always be advisable due to the high cost. But in the manufacture of elements with complex geometry, small elements or high detail, it can greatly facilitate the task and save a lot of time. A 3D printer becomes indispensable for printing engineering, moving elements. This is very convenient when a seat for all wiring and electronics is immediately included in the model and you don’t have to puzzle over where to place everything after assembly.

But 3D printing also has its drawbacks. When fabricated on an FDM printer, models must be further processed to obtain a smooth surface. If you print on a photopolymer printer, then the cost of the finished product will be quite high. Large elements of the costume will have to be printed in parts and then glued together.

Cosplay 3D printer application examples

Whole costume printing

A 3D printer is becoming an indispensable tool for manufacturing geometrically complex suits or, for example, functional elements of armor.

Iron Man Armor.

Emily Yarid has been modeling, building and refining Iron Man armor since 2013. She initially took it up out of boredom, deciding to upgrade the costume she had.

In the Tony Stark suit, the reactor glows, the helmet automatically closes and opens. On the back there are functional "wings" that open and close.

The girl uses a 3D printer to make armor elements. After printing, she processes and paints the details herself.

HALO

A user with the nickname mosquitobandito collects full-fledged armor from the HALO universe.


Armor 3D model

Armor is almost entirely 3D printed. There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed in modeling to keep the armor as mobile as it is in the game.

The armor part is pre-cut into several parts and printed in parts on an FDM printer. After printing, be sure to check how the parts fit together, as the plastic may shrink unevenly.


Treated and painted hand protection

Costume print

Making a full-fledged costume using 3D printing is not always justified. Simple shapes are much faster and cheaper to make from other materials such as eva.

But complex parts such as helmets, weapons, armor elements are much more accurate if they are made using 3D printing.


Steam Punk Star Wars Helmet

Hand making all the patterns would take much longer, and it is important to make all the patterns symmetrical. This is a very painstaking work that requires a lot of patience, perseverance and experience.


Iron Man Steampunk Helmet


Composite weapon

Some elements seem quite simple to manufacture, but it can be very difficult, even with a template, to make symmetrical and smooth bends.


Wolverine Collectible Helmet


Master model making

Sometimes the material with the desired properties is found only among foundry resins and plastics. But to remove the form, you still need a master model.

Epoxy sword casting

It was necessary to make a transparent sword. Epoxy resin is well suited for manufacturing. The master model (except for the rose) was printed on a 3D printer.


Prepared master model

The sword was printed in half - it is much easier to get a high-quality casting without bubbles. The halves of the sword are still the same and can be glued together. After printing, the surface of the master model was brought to perfect smoothness and primed.

Formwork is being prepared from improvised materials for pouring silicone molds


Preparation of the master model for filling with silicone

A slightly tinted epoxy resin is poured into the resulting mold to give an icy blue tint. After casting, 2 halves can be glued together with the same epoxy.

The result is a stunning sword, as if carved from ice. Such an effect would be difficult to achieve using other materials.

3D printed cosplay

05/28/2020

The art of transforming into your favorite characters gave rise to a whole movement, the so-called "cosplay". With the development of technology, the images of heroes are becoming more and more complex, and in order to recreate such costumes, one sewing machine is no longer enough. Today, cosplay fans around the world use 3D modeling and 3D printing technologies to adapt intricate designs from movies and video games.


In the west, the cosplay movement is incredibly popular. Participants from different cities attend conventions in outfits, armor, futuristic costumes and the most unusual images, turning events into a real celebration. In Russia, cosplay is less developed, but the skill of 3D artists is very much appreciated by the Western audience.

What do you need to create a copy of a hero skin?

First of all, of course, you need a 3D model of the costume and all its attributes. Given the popularity of the direction, on the Internet you can find many ready-made models on paid and free resources. But the most valuable are unique costumes. Therefore, the experience of 3D modeling and knowledge of programs is a huge plus.



The next step is to adapt the costume to a specific person, taking into account height and parameters. Individual props should fit like a glove.


Having files of all parts of the costume of the required size, you can proceed to 3D printing.


When choosing the best 3D printer for printing props, it is necessary to determine the size, design complexity and materials for future products. It depends on what parameters a 3D printer should have.

  • Printable area size.

As a general rule, a cosplay 3D printer requires a large build area because you will be basically printing the parts to wear. The fewer seams there are on the suit, the stronger and more durable it will turn out.

  • Materials.

The ability to use decorative plastics, luminous threads or metal will make the costume more realistic and bright.

  • And of course, print speed.

Print speed is very important when you are printing large objects. Even with a fast printer, printing a whole image will take a lot of time, so if you can use not one, but two devices, this will greatly speed up the process.


Which models are worth paying attention to?

The 3D printer Wanhao Duplicator i3 v 2.1 will do an excellent job of printing small parts of complex shape.


It is easy to work with and has already won the love of 3D makers all over the world. Despite its compact size, the printer is quite powerful and has established itself as a reliable workhorse. Can print with any plastics with heating temperature up to 240°C. Layer thickness from 0.1 to 0.
