Description
This god damn nightmare took longer, was more difficult, and required more printing than I was expecting.

When I print something, I can't tell how well it turns out until it's actually finished. Meaning if I have something in that I can only print in parts, I won't know if everything fits until I wasted resin. The original picture (by now replaced), shows what is essentially an entirely different model. The reason I had to redo it in the first place, was that I had noticed that the model I offered for free was too thin at places to be reliably printed. It was also quite weighty, so I had no intention to print it myself.

Alas, I am not one to offer shoddy craftsmanship, even for free.

Shoulda' done that, tho.

What ensued was a hellish journey of trying to create a model that is both lighter and thicker. This might be a paradox, but the trick is the distribution of the weight.

The biggest issue here was that masks, in general, have a huge problem when it comes to thickness. The more angles it has, the more difficult it becomes to achieve a uniform wall strength. The solution in this case was to brute-force the issue and create a completely new "inlet".

ANYWAY.

The thing isn't free anymore. It looks awesome, prints well, is cheap, works for cosplay - and took me way too much time to make.
