In this class, we will work through the process of turning a raw 3D print into a screen-accurate prop, featuring a selection of daggers from your favorite fantasy media. You will learn the essentials for creating props and armor for cosplay, including techniques for smoothing 3D printed parts, creating a variety of surface finishes, and weathering that looks battle-worn. This course is designed to be accessible to complete cosplay beginners, and the methods presented will not require learning any specialized equipment.
This course does not cover 3D modeling or 3D printing. Some cosplay-focused tips and tricks will be provided in the course handout, but for anyone interested in learning more about the 3D printing process as a whole, be sure to check out the Makerspace’s 3D printing resources!
