Thought id share a WIP of my current cosplay project! I finished last month the Stringbean staff for my cosplay, and it was the most intensive prop I’ve ever worked on.

First, someone already made the stl of Stringbean, and was selling the file online so I purchased myself it. (Here it is so others can also find it. Big thanks to the person for making this public: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/owl-house-luz-stringbean-staff-cosplay-palisman-3d-print-model)

But, made modifications with both the pole I had being larger and a slight consistency error with the show I noticed (how Stringbean attaches to the pole). So, went into blender and modified it. After that, could 3D print it on my Ender 5 Pro, where then refinement began.

Tons of spray painting, until eventually I reached the state I was happy with. I resin-casted the orb, took several days since first time I ever did resin-casting. Then had some leftover resin so I casted the eyes to create more of a shine. Put it all together, and bam! And it turned out incredible.

Overall, so proud, it was my first time doing props to this degree, and taught a ton. Now for the rest of the cosplay.
