Hey everyone, I wanted to give you a quick heads-up about a couple of changes this week. Unfortunately, there’s going to be a slight delay in releasing our latest video where we motorize the Iron Man helmet. Over the weekend, I had to make an unexpected trip to the hospital and underwent a minor surgery. I’m currently in recovery, and while everything is okay, it’s limiting my ability to sit in front of the computer for extended periods of time. Because of this, I’ll also need to cancel tonight’s Coffee Hour. I was really looking forward to catching up with everyone, but I want to make sure I take the proper time to heal so we can get back to creating and connecting as soon as possible. The good news is that content is still moving forward, and the Iron Man helmet video is well underway. We’ll share it with you as soon as it’s ready. Thank you all for your understanding and continued support. This community means a lot to us, and we appreciate your patience while we get back up to full speed. Looking forward to reconnecting with everyone soon!

It’s honestly harder than I expected to remember to jump in here and post while we’re in the middle of projects… but behind the scenes, we’ve been full steam ahead. We just wrapped up our 3-month maintenance on the Bambu H2S and filmed the whole process. I’ll be editing that this weekend, so it should be up next week. If you’ve got a printer or plan to get one, this is one of those videos you’ll want saved for later. At the same time, we’ve officially started printing the Iron Man helmet in ASA. First prints look solid, and the material already feels noticeably lighter and more durable than PLA. I’m really curious to see how the full suit turns out using this. We’re also working on getting the classroom content more organized and starting to build that out so there’s real value sitting here, not just updates. And quick reminder, we’re still hopping on weekly for coffee chats. Right now it’s Tuesdays at 7pm Eastern, but we can flex that if needed. Most of the time we’re just hanging out, editing, gaming, or working on something live. Nothing fancy, just real behind-the-scenes time. Appreciate everyone sticking around while we build this out. Question for you: Would you rather see more behind-the-scenes updates like this, or more structured step-by-step content dropped into the classroom first?

All, unfortunately I have to cancel tonight's coffee hour. To make it up to you, next week, Evan will be joining me! Hope you all can make it!

Just wanted to send out an official welcome to New members @Daniel Sloan and @Kayla Pelletier ! This community is still getting spun up, but thanks for stopping by! More content and builds coming soon!

We just released the next episode in our 3D Printing Journey. This one is all about scaling and test fitting the Iron Man helmet before committing to final prints. If you’ve ever printed wearable cosplay for your kid, you know this is where things can go sideways fast. A file can look perfect on the screen, then you try it on and realize something feels off. In this episode we: • Scaled the helmet using Armorsmith • Printed a full prototype • Assembled it with tape for a quick test fit • Checked comfort, vision, and overall proportions Honestly, this step helps set the tone for the entire suit. If you’ve printed wearable pieces before, what was the biggest fit issue you ran into? Let’s compare notes.
