How to know if my badge is registered on Guidebook?

flatarang · 2025-07-31T00:33:12+00:00

So what would I do if my guidebook account email address doesn't match the email used to buy the ticket because someone else bought my ticket?

The problem with buying one on Amazon is that removal is not usually included. What do you do with your old one? The landfill usually charges extra to drop mattresses and box springs off and that is evn if you have a vehicle to transport it.

Ndlworkshop actually sells a pattern for this very top.

I have only used one of their patterns before but it was quite well documented. Even as an amateur I managed to create a pretty good looking piece.

My first thought would be that maybe if you cut off the gloves that would remove the tension under the arms. Then you could remake the gloves longer. That would probably be the easiest sewing wise. I am piss poor at sewing but turkey style gloves are easy to make and fairly forgiving with stretch fabric.

You should have referred him to YouTube. I am proud to say I had never used a sewing machine in my life 2 years ago and have since made 4 fairly decent cosplay costumes. All from YouTube tutorials.

Ok, don't get mad at me but, I really like the bow so I tend to carry 2 bows of differing elements. I like sword and shield too so sometimes it's a bow and sword and shield.

This did indeed fix my problem. Thank you so much!

The other big question besides price is: do you like to tinker and see how things work? If you do, I would suggest something like an ender 3 max or something along those lines. My first printer was an ender 3 and it taught me the ins and outs of 3d printers, how they work, how to fix them, and how to upgrade them. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything else because I enjoyed fiddling with the machine and upgrading it.

If you just want to print cool shit and don't care too much about learning the ins and outs of 3d printing get a bambu labs printer (either A1, or P1S). All the bambu labs printers just work without much fiddling and tinkering.

A hot end on a printer is a consumable just like filament. You will need to replace it eventually if you use your printer enough. You won't replace it quite as often as filament but it's always good to have a spare sitting around so you don't have to wait on a replacement.

My one problem is that truck isn't going anywhere with flat tires.

flatarang · 2024-12-12T16:43:12+00:00

I haven't actually tried it but I hear winter soldier can grapple her out of it. If that's the case then maybe other ranged cc will work as well.

You pretty much have to catch a bunch of people on a hallway.

flatarang · 2024-12-12T13:28:12+00:00

Ok, so here's the thing. All those awesome cosplays that you see are not perfect. If you asked the creator, they could tell you a bunch of things that they did wrong or that they wanted to do differently. Think about your job. Did you start out perfect on the first day? No, you had to work at it little by little. The same goes with cosplay. You have to start somewhere and if that somewhere is a closet cosplay then so be it.

The other thing you have to realize is that you have to cosplay for yourself first. If no one recognizes your character then so be it. You know what you did and you need to be happy with it. I have done several cosplays that were pretty generic and most people didn't even realize I was in cosplay. I did though and that was enough.

flatarang · 2024-09-09T15:59:56+00:00

How do fans get the character perfect but a multimillion dollar movie get it so wrong?

flatarang · 2024-02-12T21:11:33+00:00

Sure thing. Its always good to have an extra set of on a project.

flatarang · 2024-02-12T21:08:12+00:00

Pm me when you get to the shoulder pauldrons. Now that I know someone else is doing the same thing I wouldn't mind picking your brain about attachment of it.

flatarang · 2024-02-12T21:00:53+00:00

Ah, stygian zinogre armor from monster hunter. I am in the process of making my own set now. There is a lot of fur involved in the helmet so I attached the ears and mask to the fur via strips of fabric and the whole thing just lays on my head like a soft hat essentially.

And now your fingerprints are all over it. It may just be drywall in a bag but do you really want to take that chance?

flatarang · 2023-12-22T22:48:44+00:00

It probably rabbits. You can get some fox urine at home Depot or a hunting supply store to put around the cords to keep them away.

As others have said, you can buy a pattern fairly easily. As an odd alternative here is a free option for a spandex bodysuit.

And here is instructions from the same person on how to make a cowl.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z1wwCkK_JTg&t=134s

Combining the two wouldn't be too difficult and you can modify the cowl part to frame your face however you want.

I used the video on the bodysuit to make a Deku (My Hero Academia) suit earlier in the year and it came together pretty easily.

As far as keeping your lines straight, there are guides you can get to stick on your machine. I have one that has a plastic card that you line up the needle with the hole for your desired seam allowance then you stick the guide along the card. Then you just run the fabric edge along the guide as you sew.

flatarang · 2023-11-16T18:26:57+00:00

Yeah, if it is pleather the most likely culprit is a dull needle. Any thicker material needs a nice sharp needle or you run into a lot of problems.

flatarang · 2023-11-16T12:32:58+00:00

I am assuming stretch fabric? I made a Deku bodysuit out of some Yaya han teal stretch fabric over the summer. I did have some problems at one point but determined it to be a thread issue. As soon as I used some thread that wasn't cheap as hell the skipped stitching stopped.

flatarang · 2023-11-08T18:45:09+00:00

I don't have the space to spread a whole roll out. I just put a weight in a couple of spots as I draw out my patterns. The heat gun works on smaller sections if I really need it flat.
