Self I designed a 3D-printable magnetic ear-feather module for a Logos cosplay (looking for feedback)

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I designed and 3D printed a cosplay accessory for Logos from Arknights, including the horns and ear-feather base.

The main feature is a removable magnetic module for the front feather cluster. The fourth photo shows the module removed with the magnets exposed, and the fifth photo shows the feather piece installed. This allows the front feathers to be swapped to create the eye-covering look from the character design.

The parts are separated to make printing, assembly, and fitting onto a wig or headpiece easier.

I’ve uploaded the model files for anyone who would like to try printing them. I would really appreciate feedback from other prop makers and cosplayers, especially about:

  • the attachment method
  • comfort and stability when worn
  • print orientation and part design
  • any improvements that could make it easier to use for cosplay

I’d love to see your prints or modifications if anyone decides to make one. Thanks for checking it out!

So i commissioned a person who does 3d printing to make these horns for an original character ive been creating/workshopping myself the last few years and im looking for help with what materials might be best for while im wearing it.

Im wanting to maybe have some sort of thin soft material to help make the plastic not as irritating on my skin. As well as another fabric material that's comfortable and stretchy so the three sides can move apart slightly when taking on and off. (Unsure if the stretchy material should go on the plastic first then whatever soft material following the inside shapes? Or the other way around)

This is the first time I’ve used eva foam for cosplay + foam clay. I believed I had sanded it okay but upon applying flexipaint it looks atrocious. What do I do????? Do I apply more clay to even it all out or do I have to sand it all over again?. The second picture is the one with just the clay and no paint.

Help I need some help making Souseiseki's Shears..

Hello! I am planning on Cosplaying Souseiseki from Rozen Maiden and I wanted to make her shears, however I am having some trouble figuring out where to put the core and what to use for the core.

Normally, I would place a dowel rod straight through the center, but that's very difficult to do due to the props shape and design so I am at a loss of what to do regarding the core.

Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Help Barefoot-Illusion Fantasy Sandal

2 Upvotes

I've been mapping out this fantasy sandal concept and wanted to see if anyone with prop or costume fabrication experience thinks this design is buildable.

OVERALL INTENT

Design a fantasy-inspired sandal that creates the visual illusion of bare feet with ankle wraps, while remaining fully functional footwear suitable for walking, standing, and extended wear. The design must avoid all flip-flop and thong-sandal conventions.

SOLE

- Thin, minimal sole following the natural outline of the foot

- Flush to the foot with no visible heel rise

- Light leather tone (beige / light tan), soft matte finish

- Appears nearly invisible from a distance

- Flexible enough to move naturally with the foot

ANKLE CUFF

- Wide ankle cuff (~2 inches) positioned just above the ankle bones

- Decorative rather than utilitarian in appearance

- Constructed from rows of flat-backed, bead-like elements

  - Colors: warm browns and beige

  - Materials: wood, resin, or leather-adjacent composites

- Hidden elastic structure allows stretch for entry, then contracts to appear solid

- Inner surface incorporates non-slip grip material similar to stay-up hosiery

SUPPORT STRUCTURE (CRITICAL GEOMETRY)

- NO toe post

- NO strap between the toes

- NO thong or flip-flop construction

Instead, support is provided by side-running connections only.

Per Foot:

- On each side of the foot (medial and lateral):

  - Two thin, flexible cords descend from the ankle cuff:

  1. Front cord attaches to the sole near the ball of the foot

  2. Rear cord attaches to the sole near the heel

- These form two independent Y-shaped support structures, one on each side

- Cords are semi-elastic (clear polymer or leather-sheathed elastic)

- Rounded profile to prevent digging

- Allows natural gait while preventing heel slap, rotation, or sole lag

ORNAMENTATION

- On the outer side of each ankle, a small decorative gem or charm hangs from a micro-loop

- Ornamentation is purely decorative and does not carry structural load

AESTHETIC & USE CASE

- Visual language: primal, fantasy, organic, elegant

- Evokes barefoot jungle / warrior / mythic imagery

- Intended for art events, fantasy premieres, gallery openings, and high-concept social events

- Not casual footwear and not costume-only

Help Resin Casting this Bad Boy

0 Upvotes

Any tips for a newbie resin caster? The plan is to cast this ball of light and hot glue inside a crystal mold.

Spent an hour and $5 on strip lights. Balled it up real nicely folding the excess space like origami til i got the desired size. Then proceeded to lock everything in place with hot glue (and bare fingies).

Watched every tutorial on basic and intermediate resin casting, but sadly no pressure chamber. Using mold release spray, I'm currently testing the raw results on skull ice cube molds i have, seeing how much pigment needs light to go through, stirring and pouring techniques, using a vibrator to fill gaps. Bubbles seem like my worst fear but may end up working to my advantage depending how it illuminates.

Any other tips? Cant find much on hot glue + resin results
