Wendigo costume set

prusaprinters

<p>This is a Wendigo / Forest spirit / Leshen (from The Witcher) costume set.</p><p>It's remixed from other things (see remix sources).</p><h3>UPDATE 2020-10:</h3><p>You probably would want to check out the great <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4342323">articulated claw by JulienJeanroy</a>. It's skinnable and you may want to create your own skin for this costume or use one <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4391928">provided by JulienJeanroy</a> (although it doesn't quite fit the intended aesthetics, but it's really close to it).</p><h3>Scale it properly!</h3><p><strong>For 57cm head circumference 103% scale up gives a snug fit, 104-105% should work better</strong></p><p><strong>For 58cm head circumference 107% scale up should work well</strong></p><p><strong>For 59cm head circumference 110% reported to fit well over a headmask</strong></p><p>The mask can be printed in 3 parts if your printer has large enough build volume, or you can print in 6 parts (included in archive). Print with supports and probably with rafts (if you have problems with delaminating supports).<strong>Make sure to scale the mask right</strong></p><p>Either way, you'll need to find a way to glue it, so find the proper glue for your plastic. There were no full mask model in the source thing, so I can't provide you with one.</p><p>Antlers have both full and cut in 3 parts models (included in archive). Print with supports and rafts.</p><p>Antlers came from different model than the mask, so the mask doesn't actually have any special place to attach antlers to. I used an awl to puncture the skull at proper places and then used a drywall screws to pivot/attach antlers. Then I secured them with hot glue right between antlers and skull, which turned out to look like those natural bumps at the base of antlers and blended pretty well when painted.</p><p>To properly size claws first print the Sizer part (included in archive) in different scales (start with 120% and increment up to 190%). Try printed sizers on your intermediate phalanges (second from the fingertips). It should fit snugly. When found proper scale for each of your fingers, print 4 ClawFinger and 1 ClawThumb per arm at desired scale. Claws are printed with supports and rafts.</p><p>All of these can be printed in draft settings, with maximum layer height and nozzle diameter.</p><h3>Tips on completing the costume</h3><p>For covering your body use full-body spandex costume. They're cheap and can be bought for any size. Black ones are quite versatile for many costumes (affiliated links ahead!): <a href="http://ali.pub/56wqc4">http://ali.pub/56wqc4</a></p><p><a href="http://ali.pub/56wqhy">http://ali.pub/56wqhy</a></p><p><a href="http://ali.pub/56wqlu">http://ali.pub/56wqlu</a></p><p>If you don't have any time left for international shipping, use women's black pantyhoses or tights to cover your head. 2 layers of 20 DEN should be enough, but YMMV. <strong>Don't forget about breathing!</strong> Although both lycra/spandex and nylon tights are quite breathable you may want to leave a little hole (fortified with heavy stitching to not let the fraying sides loose) so that you can breathe easier and drink at the party.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>Yes</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Yes</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>use maximum you can</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>10-20%</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>Use any material you'll be able to glue together. I used SBS and it can only be glued with SBS juice made of SBS molten in solvent (aka naptha, solventnaptha, paint thinner).</p><p>PLA, on the other hand, can be glued with some regular super-glue.</p><p>Most of these are quite large-scale models, so you probably want to use as maximum resolution as your printer can handle.</p><p>Category: Costume</p><h5>CREDITS GO TO</h5><p>Deer skull mask from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3135816">Wendigo Mask by Messinger91</a></p><p>Antlers from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3206093">Low Poly deer skull and antlers by Melles</a></p><p>Elongated claws from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2801033">Functional Claws by secretpigeon</a></p>
