Re: Choosing an epoxy for a glowing knife
For an amber or orange colored blade that needs to be flexible and able to be lit from within, I would go with something like PMC-746 from Smooth-On. It's a urethane rubber, about Shore A 60. You could design whatever is holding the LEDs to reinforce the rubber to keep it from being floppy while leaving the majority of the… -

Creature Entry Design #1 - Patchwork Nightmare: Perfection Abused
For my entry I wanted to share my vision of Victor Frankenstein's great masterpiece....in progress. I always enjoyed the concept of what the monster may look like if it was "unfinished" and brought to life too soon, rather than a stitched up man. So my piece includes symmetrical stitching to show Victor's perfectionism and… -
How to factor in shop expendables on an invoice?
Hello friends, Does anyone have any good tips on how to factor in a price for shop expendables on an invoice? I made an appliance for my friend's film - it was a silicone piece covering the actor's face to give them a really disfigured look. I'm making the invoice, and for some of my large material expenses, like the… -

Hello everyone :) Here is my final entry in the Monster Making Contest. The Pebble Monster. Originating from a description of a mythical Scottish Bogle.

Final project for a CAD-technician - Suggestions?
Hello everybody! I'm currently a student in Sweden studying a "3D-Tech" programme. It is my final semester and I am about to select my final project. I am rather free to choose whatever I like, but it has to relate to "3D-Tech", or rather; CAD (Using Solidworks and/OR Mastercam). I mainly study this programme since I… -
Khorne Berzerker (updated)
hello, I have already joined the contest last year using the same entry but I never had a chance to showcase the 2020 version since I don't have a high resolution pictures of my Khorne Berzerker... since this costume keeps changing a lot and has plenty of variations, this is my 2020 version of my Khorne Berzerker, or an… -

We only had two weeks to create everything, including the sword, with virtually no budget. My wife has a day job and we have a toddler so you can imagine how difficult that was! Our version is meant to look… -

Vacuform Machine and Helmet Design and Fabrication
So I decided to start this thread for those of us at the watch and chat level of the Fon Davis Class (and anyone else who might like to chime in). We wont have instructor interaction at this level but at least we can help and inspire each other. I spent some time at OSH hardware and saw a lot of the parts necessary to… -
Re: Best program for son with Autism
If you are looking to get him started sculpting on a computer, ZBrush would be your best bet. You may be able to get him a student license: http://store.pixologic.com/ZBrush-4R6-Academic-and-Educational-License/ A good knowledge of practical sculpting (in clay, wax, etc) is also helpful when working in applications like… -
Re: Homework - Dave VanderWekke
So I finally took what I learned from Jim class and reworked my entire Robot's neck and torso to use 2 servos instead of my original 3. My left and right is handled by a gearbox in the head mounted on the neck plate. You can see that in earlier posts. I designed and 3D printed a U-Joint to fit into my neck. Because I am… -
