Our Most Satisfying Build



We love playing Satisfactory and decided to make costumes from the video game for Dragon Con! Bill 3D modeled the helmet, then 3D printed and assembled all the pieces. The helmets have visors, lights, and even a cooling fan!

  1. Just a suggestion for the vinyl wrap on the visors – try heating the vinyl until it starts to droop, similar to vacuum forming. This will make it so the vinyl will fit around a curved surface a bit better, without having to stretch it after it's already applied. Just a thought. These turned out fantastic!

  2. If you are wanting glue all the parts aligned together like a puzzle and are putting so much work in it why aren't you going the extra mile and do some mortas and tenen on the seam like in Clip parquet to easy up the alignment? I mean you didn't though it to much through didn't ya?

  3. I didn't even think about making the player from satisfactory. I am still very much a beginner in sewing and haven't even touched prop making. Great inspiration to look up to

  4. I recently learned another great technique for joining 3d printed parts. You can put a bit of filament in the chuck of a dremel, turn it on, and use it to "paint" over the seams. The friction between the spinning filament and the printed surface will melt both just a little bit, and leave something that looks exactly like a welded metal seam. It's super strong and the subtle welded texture really helps your brain convince itself that it's looking at a real piece of equipment.

  5. I can confirm, the Anycubic Photon printers are extremely impressive, especially for their relative price. I expect they are a bit slower than a DLP based SLA printer because there's going to be some light leak through the LCD limiting the UV light source brightness, but it's hard not to recommend if you want to try out resin printing.

  6. I was scrolling through YouTube and saw another satisfactory video. Then I saw the channel name and immediately thought โ€œwell Iโ€™m watching that.โ€ Well done on the build
