Even when I can, I don't. I usually avoid 3D printing more than one part at a time. In case something goes wrong, I only lose one part. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist  #3dprinting #technology #philosophy

Most people put on a mask for Halloween. This year I decided to take mine off. Happy Halloween!!! #Halloween #eerie #spooky #mask

Notice the difference? Reprinted the fukigaeshi (side blowbacks) for the Raijin kabuto (helmet) with a different orientation that should make the finishing process easier. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #3dart #yoroi #samurai #armor #japanese #raijin

After drilling 512+ holes for Samurai armor lacing, I'm rethinking my decision to not 3D print pilot holes. 

Drilling holes from scratch requires stepping up drill bit sizes 4 or 5 times for each hole. So the equivalent of drilling upwards of 2560 holes. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dart

The fable of the rabbit and the tortoise has been tested in real life. 😂

Raijin and Fujin. Dry fitting parts of the two kabuto (helmets). Cool to see these two in real life at full scale. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #samurai #armor #yoroi #raijin #fujin

Getting my head together. Attaching the halves of the hachi (crown) for the Raijin and Fujin kabuto. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #samurai #armor #yoroi #kabuto #raijin #fujin

Trying the paper method to separate 3D printed parts from the PEI print bed. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #3dart

Prepping. Preparing the two halves of the Rajin hachi (crown) for assembly. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #samurai #armor #yoroi #raijin

The gamble in Las Vegas pays off...kind of. 3D printing with no center supports. Spaghetti stalagmites inside but the outside surface looks good. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #fixitinpost #samurai #armor #yoroi

[Russ Ogi @Russ_Ogi]

Gambling in Las Vegas. 3D printing the Raijin kabuto hachi (helmet crown) without supports for the top. Will this print? #3dprinting #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3ddesign #kabuto #samurai #armor #yoroi #raijin

Happy 4th of July! Celebrating the creation of our nation by creating stuff. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #4thofjuly #momotaro #samurai #armor

[Russ Ogi @Russ_Ogi]

"Snot Spaghetti" or "Fix It In Post". 3D printed spaghetti, a possible side effect when reducing supports. This happens in the nose of the Fujin menpo (facemask). A quick ironing and all's good. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #samurai #armor #3dart

3 Menpo WIP. The menpo (facemask) for the Momotaro, Raijin and Fujin yoroi (armor). #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #3dprinting #samurai #armor #yoroi #momotaro #raijin #fujin #wip

Odoshi (lacing) test. Opted to change to a more traditional design that includes odoshi instead of a diamond pattern along the bottom of the fukigaeshi (side blowbacks) of the Fujin kabuto (helmet). #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #3dart #yoroi #samurai #armor #3ddesign
