From September 2nd to September 5th, 2016, Dragon Con was held in Atlanta, USA. The Dragon Show is a large-scale exhibition that integrates fantasy, science fiction, animation, games, cosplay and trend culture. . In order to participate in Dragon Con, many Cosplay players spend hours (or days/weeks/months) to design and organize costumes and props, trying to make the costumes of the characters they admire the same as the screen or the image in the game. This time, you are introduced to the top Cosplay player Bindi Smalls.
3D printing played an important role in many of Smalls' creations, and she was so proficient in using 3D printing for Cosplay props that she eventually formed Geek Fab Lab and a 3D printing center (Note: Fab Lab is a maker space). In addition, Smalls is also an authorized distributor of the lulzbot 3D printer . At this Dragon Show, Smalls created a cosplay image of D.Va (a character in the game) in the Watch Pioneer with a 3D printer.
D.Va
Smalls owns 11 different 3D printers such as LulzBot and Formlab. 90% of her non-clothing costumes are made using 3D printing. Smalls uses their desktop units to create complex models, which shows the details in the technology. Working ability.
The post-processing of 3D printing can help them make the most time-consuming parts of the COSPLAY garment to get smooth edges and accessories. In this way, the role-player will feel comfortable when wearing the clothing. The creation of D.Va clothing requires several 3D printers, and Smalls uses the second method in the video to make D.Va shoulder blades and guns.

Smalls likes her LulzBot 3D printer, and LulzBot uses FDM (Processed Melt Deposition) technology. It builds larger than the SLA Formlabs 3D printer. Using different 3D technologies can bring different print results, the trick is to choose the right printing tool. For example, printing a fine gun, SLA (stereo-curing molding) technology is no more suitable.

Cosplay and 3D printing have a lot in common, they all make dreams come true – on-screen video games or 3D design programs can “jump†out into tangible costumes and props. In addition, desktop 3D printing technology is affordable, and role-players can use this powerful manufacturing technology to create their own unique clothing. And because many of the players in Cosplay and 3D printing are makers and have a mature community, it's easy for enthusiasts to get help through forums, social media, and other online or offline resources.
