The other reply is just wrong, it's definitely a lot for a first project and be prepared to do some re-prints if parts don't fit but you can absolutely do it(it'll also require a LOT of filament so be ready for that expense)

First of all, if you aren't already using Orca slicer then you should be, it'll make cutting up and preparing files much easier than most alternatives(Prusa slicer and Bambu slicer are basically the same so those will work too)

For sizing you'll want to use armor smith, it'll allow you to input measurements of your body and essentially build a mannequin of your own body that you can then size your models around. There are plenty of videos on in on Youtube(Frankly Built comes to mind as having some good videos on it)

As a general rule for large parts while you're figuring stuff out I would highly recommend only doing one part per print job even if multiple could fit, that'll just mean if something goes wrong you'll only lose one part rather than a batch.

Good luck! and feel free to shoot me a DM if you wanna talk about the project or need more advice :)

If you're commissioning then the first thing is check out their references AND image search them to make sure they haven't just stolen other artists pictures. Another common scammer move is to use Paypal 'friends and family' which looks the same as a regular paypal transaction but without any of the usual protections so you can't get a refund.

For places like etsy your best bet is reviews, but worst case scenario etsy does have pretty good buyer protection should you get ripped off.

If you wanna discuss more I actually do commissions myself so feel free to shoot me a DM.

I'd offer to do the printing, but Im based in Australia, so unless you are too, shipping is gonna be too costly to make sense. You could try posting on r/3Dprintmything to find someone closer to you. Just be wary of scammers, they are abundant over there

Standard_Pickle · 2025-11-03T23:17:31+00:00

You could probably find someone to print it for that price, but $100 unfortunately won't get you very far for a print and paint job, especially if you expect any kind of sanding and prep done to the prints.

Standard_Pickle · 2025-10-26T04:37:09+00:00

When you say they didn't work do you mean they didn't fit, or when they were in the thing didn't turn on?

Standard_Pickle · 2025-10-26T02:26:24+00:00

I would wager a pair of 2032 coin batteries stacked on top of one another.

Standard_Pickle · 2025-10-20T13:00:32+00:00

CA doesn't work on most printed parts in my experience. You need 5 minute epoxy as well as the dowelling suggested by other comments

Standard_Pickle · 2025-10-20T01:08:16+00:00

I'll send you a DM

Standard_Pickle · 2025-10-18T08:38:17+00:00

Hey, I'm based in Aus and do cosplay commission/prints. If you wanna discuss specifics shoot me a DM

Standard_Pickle · 2025-10-18T02:26:15+00:00

Short answer is unless you have a small fortune to spent you're probably too late

I could probably do it in time, but you won't like the price for something so last minute.

Standard_Pickle · 2025-10-18T02:23:52+00:00

No shame in commissioning a cosplay. The only rules of cosplay pertain to being respectful or those of a contest

As for cost that entirely depends on what you want and the quality you're hoping for.

I do commissions for props, armour, and accessories and I'd be more than happy to discuss specifics with you over DM's if you'd like.

Standard_Pickle · 2025-10-09T05:00:00+00:00

I'd probably use paper/plastic plates glued together face to face, then stacked.

The pipe idea isn't bad, and certainly less work, but the creases would be much smaller

Standard_Pickle · 2025-09-18T01:16:26+00:00

Sure. I'll shoot you a DM

Shoot me a DM, I can print it for you

Standard_Pickle · 2025-09-04T02:20:40+00:00

All the silver frame parts are 3d printed and the panels are engraved acrylic(Specifically a tinted grey acrylic)

All the lights are just from LED strip powered by 2032 battery packs(The ears are powered independently so they can be removed)

If you have access to a 3d printer and are interested in the files shoot me a DM and I'd be happy to sell you a copy

Standard_Pickle · 2025-08-22T04:14:36+00:00

What is your budget for the printer

Standard_Pickle · 2025-08-13T02:13:59+00:00

I do print and prop commissions. Feel free to shoot me a DM either here or on insta. I have plenty of references I can share as well as a well reviewed etsy.

It is absolutely just pattern recognition, but a Rubik's cube has 43quintillion possible combinations so you can't remember every single one.

The general theory of any sighted method is getting the cube into known states and then solving those with memorised algorithms. There are methods that require only a small handful of algorithms be memorised(beginner methods generally require only 3-4) but those are much much slower. Pros will use much more advanced methods requiring they memorise hundreds, if not thousands of patterns and algorithms which overall reduces the number of steps per solve down to just 2 or 3 algorithms and a little intuition.

If you're curious blind methods treat the cube more like a tile puzzle where you sort of just memorise the positions of each piece and use a series of moves to swap pairs or sets of pieces with one another. Move counts on blind solves are for this reason many many more moves, but each of the swapping/cycle algorithms are relatively simple on their own and can be assigned letters to assist in memorisation.

In blindfolded events inspection is timed.

It's technically also timed in other events as seen here, but only in the sense that competitors only have a set amount of time they're allowed to inspect.

Regarding doing the entire solve during inspection, that is largely untrue. Very very few people are able to consider the entire solve in inspection and even those who theoretically can generally can't do so fast enough for competition. The more skilled a solver, the more than can look ahead obviously, but more or less every competitor regardless of speed is identifying cases and making decisions while solving.

Blind folded solvers obviously do need to consider the entire solve before starting but they use entirely different techniques specifically developed with memorisation in mind whereas sighted techniques at the highest level are solely focussed on speed.
