3DxPrinting Cosplay Costume
It’s got hints of Star Wars, Fallout, and Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s got lasers, EL wire and of course, NeoPixel LEDs. In this project, we’re mounting glowy electronics to some 3D printed parts to light up your face!
A 3D printed gas mask makes an interesting addition to any halloween costume and may even turn some heads at Comic Con.
This has three main pieces to it: the mask, the respirator and the costume goggles. Details like the grill, the secondary respirators and conduits make this an intricate looking build.
This guide will walk you through the process of 3d printing, wiring and assembling your very own LED Gas Mask.
Challenges and Expectations
The most difficult part in this project is the 3d printing. There are a total of 16 parts and it takes about 14 hours to print all of them. The mask part requires a 3d printing build area of 180mm x 150mm y 150mm z. Wiring the circuit and compontents to fit the parts require a bit of patience, finesse and careful soldering.
