Clients keeping saying they want to cosplay this character so they can make people cry, so beware! Haurchefant's shield, in broken and whole variants. My job is great because sometimes I get to draw a unicorn.

This is my new favourite thing to do on props that need things bolted together but are too big for a measly chicago screw: just pop a slot for a hex nut into the side and a slot for the screw to carry on into, and there you go. Collapsible prop, removable straps, whatever. One thing that annoys me about Chicago screws too is that they are round so they can turn or break free of the glue if you overturn the screw too hard. Not these babies. Glue them in and the print hugs them in a way that doesn't let them turn. More resistance.

One project on the workbench this week is a finished Dark Magician Girl Kit for a client. We sell them as both kits and finished staffs, so I’m going to document the process from cast-resin kit to finished in this thread! Should happen over a few days because of painting, etc. Here’s a dry fit on the cast pieces — see how they don’t quite fit together nicely? That’s because the resin needs to be sanded flush. There’s also mould seams to take care of. (Also lol at these different resin dye lots.)

Do you sand your 3D prints? Do you want to but it takes too damn long? Do you want to do it more efficiently? A thread! Meet Menace’s staff’s carousel. The brighter white part is completely unsanded and fresh off the printer. Let’s catch it up with its sister.
