3D Print with Play-Doh or Clay for a Day
0Shares
There’s a supremely cool new extruder with accompanying materials just released by the folks at Hyrel 3D. They’ve done what Play-Doh wished it would have thought of years ago by making a 3D printer print malleable materials.
By virtue of Hyrel’s easy to swap extruder set-up, you can now swap in their new extruder, the EMO1, which is capable of printing clay, play-doh, silicone and plasticine.
The print head is loaded by the brute force approach of shoving the material into the nozzle until it’s full, as you can see in the video below:
Hyrel started up as a project funded on kickstarter back in November 2012. After netting over three times their $50k goal, the collection of CAD designers, engineers and software developers, was able to start producing their series of Hyrel 3D printers. The printers are unique in that they’re pre-assembled, offer multiple heads, a built-in CPU and have extruder heads that are easy to swap out, depending on the task at hand.
I asked the members of the Hyrel team if the extruder will work with something like my Bukobot and got the following response from Dan:
Our HYREL EMO1 was built to be interchangeable and hot-swappable with the HYREL 3D Printer. While we would love to be able to support other 3D printers, we cannot at this time.
Further, the ability to interchange the extruder heads and the ability to hot-swap these heads is under a patent pending status. The interchangeable, hot-swap ability allows the user to swap the extruder heads themselves and the CANBUS we had integrated into the electronics allows for automatic switching between a typical ABS / PLA filament extruder head, to being able to use multiple other materials and tools, all on the same HYREL platform.
Lucky Hyrel owners will, however, be able to print all sorts of smooshy and smooth objects and I bet that Aardman Animations, famed studio responsible for Wallace and Gromit and Pirates! An Adventure with Scientists, will want one for their next film because plasticine is the same stuff used in claymation (though they haven’t used it since 1997, after switching over to the plasticine-like Newplast). And, interestingly enough, the material has other uses. See the interesting tidbit I found on Wikipedia below:
Athletics officials in high-level long jump and triple jump competitions use plasticine to help determine if the competitors are making legal jumps.
A 10 centimeter strip of plasticine is placed beyond the take-off line. If an athlete leaves a mark in the plasticine, it is considered proof that the jump was a foul and the attempt is not measured.

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. nine0003
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.
Terminator suit from Warhammer 40k
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. nine0003
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).
Warhammer 40k universe photo shoot
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. nine0003
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.
nine0043
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. nine0003
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. nine0003
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.
nine0003
Left paper model, right after strengthening, processing and painting
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.
Two-component plastic purity print with metallic powder
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. nine0003
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.

Using PVC pipes as a sword frame
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. nine0003
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. nine0003
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. nine0003
Armor 3D model
Armor is almost entirely 3D printed. There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed when modeling to keep the armor as mobile as it is in the game.
Shoe cover
Pre-assembly of the upper part of the armor before gluing and processing. nine0047
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. nine0003
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. nine0003
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 nine0003
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. nine0003
The result is a stunning sword, as if carved from ice. Such an effect would be difficult to achieve using other materials.

Top 20 Inexpensive 3D Printers (from $199 to $1000)
3DPrintStory Reviews Top 20 Inexpensive 3D Printers ($199 to $1000)
Just 10 years ago, a 3D printer cost over $100,000. Today, you can easily find a cheap 3D printer for under $200. It's amazing. nine0003
Naturally, the lower the price, the more restrictions. Some of the printers on our list will not have a heated bed and the workspace will be small. Naturally, the quality of most of the models presented below cannot compete with more expensive counterparts.
But with a little patience and diligence, it is quite possible to achieve high-quality 3D printing on a printer that costs half the price of a flagship smartphone.
And it's really cool!
Important note : All 3D printers in this top are supplied assembled by the manufacturer. If you have free time and want to spend less money, you can buy DIY kits and assemble the 3D printer yourself according to the instructions.

If you want to buy them, even if you live in large cities such as Kyiv, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk, it may turn out that these models will not be in the online stores of your city, or they may be with a decent mark-up relative to the cost that indicated in the article.
Since most of them are European / American, it is possible that they will not be in stores at all.
Therefore, before making a choice, I recommend looking directly at eBay, Amazon, Aliexpress, etc. - many sellers on these planforms deliver to the CIS countries within 1-4 weeks on average. nine0003
It is especially worth monitoring these platforms during the discount period - Black Friday or Chinese New Year (Aliexpress or Gearbest) - prices on such days can be 2 or more times lower than usual and it is worth waiting a few weeks.
Monoprice MP Select Mini ($199)
Probably the best 3D printer on our list. Why? Because the Monoprice MP Select Mini is an impressive development with a thoughtful, compact design at a very low price.
This model has a quick-change steel material feed wheel, a cooler for cooling the nozzle, a color LCD screen, a heated table, plus the ability to transfer models for 3D printing via microSD or USB. nine0003
The heated bed and the wide temperature range of the extruder are especially pleasing, because for such a small price you get the opportunity to print in different materials: from ABS B to PLA or exotic materials like conductive PLA plastic, wood, metal-based composites and PVA.
For those who are worried about the lack of a guarantee - for such a price it is possible without it. This model is upgradeable. For example, you can install a new nozzle, change the table and add WiFi connectivity. nine0003
Small working space - 120 x 120 x 120 mm. Over time, this will definitely not be enough for you.

Monoprice Maker Select Ultimate ($699)
The Monoprice Maker Select Ultimate is an extraordinary beast that combines elements from two leaders in the world of 3D printing - Zortax and Ultimaker. The Monoprice Maker has an aluminum perforated printing table, which was offered in the Zortax M200 (thanks to this table, the grip of the base of the model with the table is much better), and the software part is almost identical to Ultimaker 2 (very user-friendly interface and functionality). nine0003
This model uses a "Bowden extruder", that is, the feed blocks and nozzle are separated, unlike direct feed. This improves reliability and reduces the likelihood of 3D printing errors (although, most likely, it was necessary to sacrifice printing speed, as the weight of the printing unit increases). Given the cost, this is a good model, the analogues of which are much more expensive.
