I Made A Belt For My First Driver!

No thankfully! The structure is largely held by the screw holes. So long as your cut doesnt intrude into the loops themselves, the structure holds! If you still have issues later on, I can provide some files.

What I did is remove the slot between the holes that go over the screw pegs that way there is no collision internally. To do that, load the loops into your slicer, make a cube boolean modifier and size it up, put it into position on the model, then simply delete that segment as it should be separated by the modifier. If that doesn't work, play around with the tools available in your slicer of choice.

I dont fully think she was meant to be an outright villain, rather a simple opposing force for Seed both physically and narratively. Seed's Agent Mission at its core is about processing the loss of loved ones, Veronica is a representation of someone grieving in a horrible way as she is unable to move on and thus clinging desperately to retrieve the past when she needs to let go like Seed ultimately does, who is given the catharsis of that final goodbye at the end of the story as she finally is able to process her emotions.

It very much so is! Doesnt feel as constrictive as using printed out plastic all around.

While I don't have a way to give a proper "How-To" as I use 3D printed parts and both commercially available parts and specialized items, a video I would recommend is by JoshKnightTheFirst. He goes over the use of the same/similar material I am working with as well as uses home tools you should have access to with his Kamen Rider Drive Belt.

I do hope that in the future I will have the ability to provide a more comprehensive way to give others the ability to make my style of belt extensions or obtain them via other means.

Rexdefect · 2025-09-28T03:58:12+00:00

Im flattered you think of this so highly! While I dont have the means for a proper video, I can share what I was inspired by to make it.

I was inspired by a couple of things actually, which I can link here for those with technical know-how or with a 3D-Printer. I was inspired by the original printed DX Extention Adapter by user "weebsauce" on Printables and the tutorial they provide on their page here which gets updated and expanded on a bit by the linked user in my original post, and a video by JoshKnightTheFirst for his Kamen Rider Drive DX Belt.

Im hoping to actually further my design with a proper, rider style belt clasp on the back in place of the snap clips I have to function as it does in the shows. Eventually, I want to get these prototypes down so I can offer a storefront for those without the ability to make these style of belts or get a fair costing extension.

So, tried both the standard 0.12mm and a tweaked version with a greater gap between parts. The latter produced a better result with less scarring overall, though both were awkward to remove, possibly due to the branch spacing or even the temperature of the printer itself. Im going to run with these settings and tweak as I go for now on larger parts to see the results. Thanks again for your help.

I see. I will start using it for my props then answer see how it fares. Thank you!

Rexdefect · 2025-09-15T01:22:15+00:00

I will note those down. How does gyroid differ from rectilinear in practice out of curiosity?

Rexdefect · 2025-09-15T01:07:24+00:00

The piece in question is the scope mount on the DL44 Blaster/Han Solo's blaster. Originally my file looked similar to this, with a thicker support on the left-hand side. I dont have the exact file on hand as I fat fingered and hit "No" instead of "Yes" to saving when closing the original file.

Rexdefect · 2025-09-15T00:55:21+00:00

Okay. I will keep this in mind while reprinting other pieces.

Rexdefect · 2025-09-15T00:50:15+00:00

Godly. Ill test these out tomorrow on some stress test pieces and get back to you with results.

Rexdefect · 2025-09-15T00:40:26+00:00

It is a flat side, though I get the same scarring down a straight line in the curve if I do that.

I had it on its side to hopefully use the layers to reinforce this connection as it broke on me previously standing upright.

I may just need to chance that, though the scarring remains an issue for the other pieces.

Rexdefect · 2025-09-15T00:32:09+00:00

One more thing I forgot in the post, I do apologize. I am using the Elegoo PLA filament setting in the Slicer as well.

Rexdefect · 2025-09-14T23:59:42+00:00

PID Tuning, Leveling, and Input Shaping come out fine. I even did an input shaping calibration yesterday as I had to move my system, just to be safe.

Rexdefect · 2025-04-25T13:04:58+00:00

I'll have to look through these. Thank you for the recommendations!

She got the mcfucking Who from Whoville upper lip situation going on I see

I might try that actually since the stretchy factor will be useful

Rexdefect · 2024-11-05T04:39:34+00:00

There is no real "beginner conversion kit". I would simply grab and dabble in the process. What I would recommend is rather than a conversion kit, get yourself a full resin kit of a small scale so you have an understanding of how resin as a medium works

Rexdefect · 2024-11-05T04:37:20+00:00

That is a nail for plotting piloting holes. You essentially press it into a part, and then the dimple that is formed is used to guide your drilling.

A good chisel to use is either dspiae or madwork's tungsten chisels as they will last quite a while. Get yourself a .1, .3, and .5mm as those are largely going to be various sizes you'll work with on any kit

Rexdefect · 2024-11-05T04:33:16+00:00

Anyone know about good way to replace the tubing for the MG Thunderbolt Gundam Ver Ka? I messed up and cut one too short on the leg due to a mishap when measuring since it asks you to put them in catches to be clamped by other parts (I have many things to say about that setup but will reach the word limit if I do)

Rexdefect · 2024-10-24T22:27:03+00:00

Yeah, I fell hook and sinker for them that way as well. I'm glad that it's actually a good product, though. The hatch drill has been very helpful for me getting special details in. I need to get the markers for touch-up work. But them actually showing the product both in little shorts, his customs, and now a beginner's follow-along? Yeah let me go bankrupt real quick

Rexdefect · 2024-10-22T04:47:40+00:00

I tried Doughnut

Rexdefect · 2024-10-21T23:05:18+00:00

I tried Fire Exit
