But the best part is the technique used to create the visor: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/707053-satisfactory-helmet-cosplay-replica-2-sizes" target="_blank">just design around a cheap set of full-face “sunglasses”</a> to completely avoid having to mold your own custom faceplate.</p>
<p>One of the most challenging parts of any custom helmet build is how to make a high-quality visor or faceplate. Most folks heat up a sheet of plastic and form it carefully around a mold, but [GizmoThrill] approached the problem from the other direction. After spotting a full-face sun visor online, they decided to design the helmet around the readily-accessible visor instead of the other way around.</p>
<p>The first thing to do with the visor is cover it with painter’s tape and 3D scan it. Once that’s done, the 3D model of the visor allows the rest of the helmet to be designed around it. In the case of the <em>Satisfactory</em> helmet, the design of the visor is a perfect match for the game’s helmet, but one could easily be designing their o

I got to play a game of #LastDays #ZombieApocalypse with my buddy using all the minis and terrain I have painted so far. It was fun!

We started the encounter taking out each other's leaders, and then proceeded to struggle to secure supplies and remove them from the board.

My patrol officers ended up fighting for two supply tokens, one tucked by the building, and the other a bit too out in the open. After losing a couple more team members to the firepower of my my buddy's SWAT team, I failed my breaking point test and was forced to leave the encounter with no supplies.

My buddy will have the advantage of having secured all the supplies on the board, so I feel like I will be going into the next mission at a big disadvantage! Hopefully we'll get to play again in a few months.

I did some more work cleaning up and weathering my city street. I still need to color match the touch ups on the center line, and do some more weathering on the stripes, but it's in a good spot. I might get a chance to play a game of #LastDays #ZombieApocalypse tomorrow in which case there will be a bunch of glamor shots of our table!

In the meantime, my #survivor / #gang themed #STL designs are currently discounted for the weekend! Check them out here: https://cults3d.com/@Playongo

The real answer is “it depends”, but sometimes you have a simple question and you just want a simple answer. Like, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2a1h-bc2Zw" target="_blank">which material makes the best 3D printed wrench</a>? [My Tech Fun] printed a bunch of options to find out — including some expensive filaments — and got some interesting insights in the process.</p>
<p>His setup is simple: he printed a bunch of 13 mm open-end wrenches, and tested each one to failure by cranking on a clamped digital torque meter until the wrench failed by breaking, or skipping.</p>
<p>[My Tech Fun] tested a total of eighteen filaments, from regular basic PLA, PETG, ABS and ASA, and a variety of carbon fiber-infused filaments including PPA-CF. TPU is included for fun, and there’s also a wrench printed with continuous carbon fiber, which requires a special printer. More on that in a moment. First, let’s get to the results!</p>

I need a death giant for a future encounter so here is the death brother. #miniatures #miniaturepainting #3dPrinted

Guy with pale skin wearing impractical spiky armor and wielding a double bladed scythe. There is a red loon cloth blowing in a wind. His eyes gleam with mania.

But the standard lithium ion battery has a few downsides, namely issues operating at temperature extremes. Lead acid solves some of these problems but has much lower energy density, and if you want to split the difference with your own battery <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-nkiqVb0J8" target="_blank">you’ll need to build your own lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) pack</a>.</p>
<p>[Well Done Tips] is building this specific type of battery because the lead acid battery in his electric ATV is on the decline. He’s using cylindrical cells that resemble an 18650 battery but are much larger. Beyond the size, though, many of the design principles from building 18650 battery packs are similar, with the exception that these have screw terminals so that bus bars can be easily attached and don’t require spot welding.</p>
<p>With the pack assembled using 3D printed parts, a battery management system is installed with the balance wires cleverly routed through the prints and attached to the bus bars. The only problem [Well Done Tips] had was not realizing that Li
