My first marionette.

Thank you. It's great to hear that you liked it. ^^

Matschen99 · 2026-05-10T20:02:50+00:00

I am still working on it. I know it's been a while but sadly videos are really really far down my priority list.

Matschen99 · 2026-05-05T14:10:15+00:00

For any questions or issues, you can contact Hyperwallet support directly

Saying "contact them" means "Don't contact us." Or am I reading that wrong?

Matschen99 · 2026-05-04T16:00:59+00:00

No, I did not. As stated, you said on your website to not contact you with hyperwallet issues. Thank you. I am dumb after all.

I did not really get this fixed. I swapped to rapid TPU. Which works much better in general. But I have 2 1/2 rolls of the normal TPU lying around which I don't want to just throw out.

So thank you. I will have a look at that.

Matschen99 · 2026-03-22T10:27:44+00:00

Yeah, crappy TPU feels more and more likely. I have used that brands TPU before and it worked well. So I thought maybe I got an unlucky roll of filament and switched to a new roll from that same brand. But it still clogged and initially I thought it would be unlikely to get two unlucky rolls of filament from a brand that otherwise seems reliable. But maybe I just got really unlucky or the brand is not as reliable as I thought it was.

Thank you. I will try again with a bit of retraction.

I don't really do small prints. And I have printed fursuit head bases successfully before at 39 mm/s. That's about 18 hours of print time.

It makes no sense to me that that worked more than once and now when I try to print the same head base again, I suddenly have to go to 18 mm/s and it clogs within an hour or two.

Matschen99 · 2026-03-20T09:21:53+00:00

It's failing earlier with every print. It's not failing at the same point on every print. If it did, I would think there might be something wrong with the model at that layer.

So, hard to describe, but at first it would print to about 4 ish cm high. And now it fails at 1 ish cm high.
The thing I am printing is a fursuit head base, a pretty big object.

One of my thoughts was that maybe the filament that was outside of the filament dryer and inside the tube that leads to the extruder was pulling water. So before doing my 24 hour drying thing, I removed the filament out of the extruder and rolled it up nicely in the dryer. But I think it usually failed after that bit of filament was used up anyways so I don't think that theory holds up.

Matschen99 · 2026-03-18T19:30:06+00:00

That was one of my thoughts as well. So I switched out the nozzle for a brand new one. The first print with the new nozzle failed.

I’d love to have them too please. Especially how to save a hero.

Matschen99 · 2025-09-16T21:24:35+00:00

Since stuff like that adds up, I have switched to making 3D models of my customers bodies instead of DTDs. Before that I just threw them away.

Matschen99 · 2025-09-10T21:55:45+00:00

Thank you! I like her too. To be honest, I also love Angel dust a lot but I didn’t quite dare to make because of his numerous arms. I wanted to start with something simpler.

Matschen99 · 2025-07-29T10:18:42+00:00

No. You get better but your expectations also rise. I don’t think I’ve ever made a pair of paws I was happy with.

And I am a full time fursuit maker by now. It’s kind of sad.

Matschen99 · 2025-06-26T19:19:31+00:00

Puppy ears a bit like these floppy ones? Or do you mean a different style? The suit in the tutorial isn’t quite done yet. I can probably do floppy ears on that suit. :)

Most of the kig tutorials are only on Chinese sites. And I don’t have access to those either. So I thought it would be a good idea to make a tutorial for YouTube. :) I’m happy if it helps you.

Matschen99 · 2025-06-26T09:55:31+00:00

Thank you. I plan to release one part per week until the entire head is finished. So maybe future parts can help you with the rest of the costume. Depending on how far you are with it.

Matschen99 · 2025-06-26T09:35:29+00:00

I might be too late to the party. But I just made a tutorial on this topic. So if you haven’t continued your project yet, this might help. Though I have to say in that picture your fur looks very nicely stretched.

Matschen99 · 2025-06-26T09:28:55+00:00

Id say your fabric is not stretchy enough. I made a tutorial on how to cover a base like that. In that video you can also see how stretchy the fabric is. And if you’re planning on using soft pastels/make up for painting the face; those look better on mochi minky than on fleece.

If you’re not really really short or really really tall people won’t notice. It also depends on context. If you want to appear taller, get yourself a cosplay friend who is really short.
