3D-Printed Sub-Zero Mask
My sister-in-law is heading to Comic Con next month and is in need of a Sub-Zero Mask. I got this.
I downloaded a model from Thingiverse and got to work. She wanted to have openings in the front so I dropped the model into Meshmixer to make some edits.
I put some holes in the mask and made the creases more pronounced. I also smoothed out some of the rough spots. Much better.
I then printed it on my CR-10S. Even with 5% infill, it still took 12 hours to print. I really need to tweak my speed settings.
It doesn't have to be perfect, but I don't want it to look like crap either. I gave it a light sanding and two coats of primer. Some print lines are still visible. Not bad, but it could use a little work.
I applied a layer of Vallejo putty and let it dry.
I then gave it another coat. It looks awesome.
I then gave it a coat of black spraypaint.
After it dried, I painted the rest with acrylic paint.
I then glued a strap to the back along with a small piece of black fabric to cover the holes.
That came out awesome. The photo does not do it justice. I hope she's happy with it.
