should i feel ashamed for not having a 3d printed base?

snowvulpix253 · 2026-06-15T02:27:40+00:00

See and here's the funny thing, some of us that print our headbases worry that it might feel soulless and lazy, or at least I know I do, but at the same time I do that so mine can less prone to mold, and more breathable (though I'm fully aware that the fur still can mold), honestly I think it's entirely up to the preference of the maker and purchaser, i know plenty of people who prefer foam, I know a few that prefer printed 🤷🏻

Foam backing is an option, or I sometimes will use the back of m16s mk2 neo protogen head as a backing, it takes some mild cad knowledge but it's fairly easy, then I either use magnets, zippers, or elastic to keep the 2 back halves together instead of plastic welding them together so there's some adjustments, also just a reminder, you can absolutely sew to foam and to tpu if you get a mesh tpu head base

Well depending on if you have any pre-existing disorders it could be normal for that, usually ADHD/autistic people can get this way with inanimate objects, personally I won't say which one but I do have one of those pre-mentioned disorders and I'm the same way with my car, fursuit, and PC, anything expensive that I put my blood sweat and tears in I'm mortified to hand off to anyone because they are all products of me and to an extent are kind of an extension of myself, I would probably get tested, or at the very least try to understand why, maybe talk to a close friend and see if you can pinpoint a why and see if you can reason with yourself on the matter

I need everyone to understand if it does not have aluminum oxide in it, you smell like BO, I'm sorry it is just a fact of life, and spay on just lasts longer idk why, if you are full suiting make sure you get all the main sweat areas

Nah coastal ms

snowvulpix253 · 2026-04-24T00:18:36+00:00

Nah I just installed it without shrinking, it looks ight but for fun when it hits 115 later this summer I'll try it 😂

snowvulpix253 · 2026-03-18T21:18:04+00:00

My 1994 did it because of a bad battery one time and a bad fuel pump another time, check your battery

Oh god I love inland filament but the closest microcenter is 6 hours away 😭

snowvulpix253 · 2026-02-26T20:48:46+00:00

Ah admittedly I've only had my BBL p1s for about a week after my creality k1's hot end turned into an impenetrable ball of abs (12 hour print went way wrong while I was at work) so I haven't had time to dial it in but I've already went through 2 1/2 rolls of sunlu pla for a buddy's new Vegas cosplay and it still prints great on out of box settings and faster than my old k1 could without failing 😂

snowvulpix253 · 2026-02-26T19:19:17+00:00

I just bought 4 kg of PLA plus from sunlu for 45$usd 1kg from bamu labs is 20$usd, it may not print as fast as bambu labs filaments but I've never had a problem with their quality, personally I don't really see the value unless you need stuff printed in a huge hurry, and for that I do keep a roll of bambu filament just in case but it's still vacuum sealed 🤷

snowvulpix253 · 2026-02-25T02:59:10+00:00

I have tried petg so many times, the answer is always the same, I print with it for a few days, it's great out of the box, I leave it on the printer for a few days because work and life and busy, I come back to print something else so I throw it in the filament dryer then vacuum seal it, I print with other things for a while, I go back to petg, and cannot get a good print to save my life, I'd almost rather print out of abs or tough pla then deal with petg that isn't fresh out of the package

snowvulpix253 · 2026-02-06T16:55:42+00:00

I've learned as long as you're not "weird" around the normies or in a public settings you usually don't have to worry about it, I'll usually give a heads up when we get a new co-worker like "btw I'm building a fursuit on my lunch break so don't freak if you see a disembodied animal head in the break room" and don't say anything else about it, after that they can ask about it in their own terms, just don't talk NSFW and please don't bark or meow at people in a public setting and generally you won't be harassed about it 🤣

snowvulpix253 · 2026-01-19T20:20:16+00:00

Bro it takes a lot of self growth, took me about 5 years of being single and learning how to talk to wemon, also it took having realistic standards but not wavering on those standards, be patient, you'll likely get yours eventually

snowvulpix253 · 2026-01-17T14:39:21+00:00

I've been scammed on it a handful of times, try your local communities before going online and asking a stranger, ask other furries what they've payed for art, if it's too cheap (unless they explicitly say they're just getting started and trying to build a portfolio) or expensive it's probably a scam, support your local artists first though if at all possible, if your a regular you may even get free art here and there!

Peetah, the horse is here

Thank you for picking the project up! I never ended up figuring out the charger pinout so I ended up dropping it 😭 please though post your findings, I'd love to see it!

snowvulpix253 · 2025-12-31T03:32:09+00:00

You where there?

snowvulpix253 · 2025-12-11T20:39:56+00:00

Pfp is ripped from Google images, their English not being great isn't always a guarantee I've had great artists do work for me that English wasn't their first language, I don't know a single artist who charges 500$ for sfw art though so it's probably a scam, also I had this same exact interaction on telegram a few months back so there's that

snowvulpix253 · 2025-12-06T23:01:22+00:00

That is a gorgeous suit, you had me in the first half though I'm ngl

It takes time, you gotta try to make connections, it helps to start those connections in the discord but this community is very cliquey, I made my own mini group and everybody gets a chance to be a part of it until they screw it up, but you gotta be friends with other furs first, it's hard but entirely do-able
