Hello everybody, I have been wanting to make a shoretrooper costume for a while and have decided to finally do it. I'm planning on 3d printing it, but have a few general questions.
Which kind of filament is best for helmets and armor? I see PLA everywhere, but I don't know if that is strong enough.
For a beginner would it be better to smooth the helmet with bondo or fiberglass resin? I've seen both used a lot and I hear that fiberglass resin can get much better results, but I'm not sure how hard that would be to do.
What type of glue would be best for putting helmets and armor together?
What brands of paints work well as washes. I plan on doing one for my helmet to weather it, but I want to know it will work before using it on it.
Sorry if this is a lot of questions and thank you in advance.
