And BIIIGGG prints!
Hi on BS btw!

Awesome, thank you! I just used the Starter Pack links from @sliverbaer.bsky.social to fill out most of them, but I'll definitely use that to fill in any I missed 👍

I've never heard of Feline Studio! Must be a Kingdom, Phylum, or Class fork of Orca 😜

Man! I wish my SV08 could get that level of detail! I've got to see your fuzzy skin settings! 😂

Soft PLA could definitely be used in some applications, as long as they aren't going to be washed or heated. It's cheaper than regular TPU, and there's more variety in colors, and the properties can be similar.
Also, there is TPE which is the best for clothing because it's Softer to touch than TPU.

Fourth, I found that that the TPU I was using had an incredibly strong bond to itself using a 3D pen to join pieces, so I did some tests with TPU straps. They turned out Incredibly tough. Lastly, theres a thing called "Soft PLA" which is like a combo of PLA and TPU. Easier to print and cheaper....

You could make the "boob window" hole have a 3D printed silhouette of say, butterflies in a field. Sort of give the effect of image-embroidered lace if that makes sense. Keep in mind that with all of these things, a bigger printer is better due to having to print everything in one piece.

Second, I mainly used 95A shore hardness because it was the most accessible, but I played with softer TPU as well. The goal was to make a piece that could be inserted into an article of clothing to make it unique. Think, cut a big square "boob window" hole in a sweatshirt, then sew in the print.

First off, there's a few small tests I did using TPU and hueforge to create custom patches that could potentially be sewn or glued on. The biggest problem I was having, was finding brands that had a wide variety of colors of TPU.

That's what I'd hoped haha 😄
You're doing the important work, so that we all have an easier time with our filament selections in the future!

Unfortunately I don't think I have pictures of them since they were tests I did with my Ex when she was really into sewing. But I'd be happy to share what I've learned! There's quite a lot I learned using various shore hardnesses as well as applications. If I can find any pics, I'll add those too

Great to see you're still adding filaments since I say you at RMRRF2024! Hello on BS first the first time btw!

Both of those I always do! I've expiremented with using soft TPU to make sewable add-ons to textile things, so this isn't too far from that wheelhouse. Are you using a hard of soft filament for this piece?

Interesting.. can't wait to see what costume it'll be attached to! I've been thinking of doing something similar with a couple of costumes I've been planning on making. Any tips?

Very interesting! Where is the piece going on the costume?
