This is really cool. I enjoy all your projects and I'm working on a few spinoffs. Item of note, I prefer using a heat gun instead of naked flame for the heat shrink. does the same thing without the flame part.
Ryan O'Shea the nanites power themselves all they are are microscopic robots capable of linking together on there own when ever the user needs them the power supply comes from the inside of the nanites so u were basically asking what powers a drone ;)
Fantastic job Bill, tried modelling this myself but yours just looks way better. Gonna have to print that one out soon! Thanks for the files from a fellow Iron Man Cosplayer.
Cool project! Suggestion: Instead of a hole in the shirt(which is not great), you could have a magnet on both side (one on the unit, one inside your shirt) and a 'reed switch' (activated by magnetic) to power-on the unit when the magnet is close by.
Norm I just thought about that hole in the shirt problem, too. If you use reed switches, you would need some kind of power source in the outside... dont‘t you? I had something like wireless charging in my head, thou I don‘t know if that would be enough power...
@@Ekatioz You're right. I was hoping that a flat lithium battery, like the ones used on the mini drones, would fit in the arc reactor. But yeah, I should have considered the power requirement (not just the switch) before posting the suggestion :(
@@punishedprops I love this project and I will likely make one. Thank you for your video. Oh yeah. I just noticed that you also have your own store. Cool! punishedprops.com/shop/
I'm new to your channel and as a subscriber. I just want to say thanks for putting these files out there and listing all the parts with links. I ordered all the parts and am printing the pieces now. There were things that I have been looking for but wasn't even sure what to search. Now I have them. Yay! Thanks dude.
OMG, a friend of mine just printed out the pieces and they are soooooo nice. I cannot wait to move forward with the rest of the piecing together and finishing out. THANK YOU
You're getting pretty dang good at fusion 360. I just started using it after your previous video with it in it. I was able to mock up my studio and now have renovation plans which inspired me to clean the shop up! :D
I was so please to read an excerpt from you in Adam Savage’s book. I had always hope you two had a deeper level of connection. This makes my inner maker and inner geek so happy.
Very cool project! I think i would have integrated a connection for the electronics that also connects when you put on the arc reactor on that magnets. Would have been way more practical Still damn awesome and incredibly detailed
just add wireless charger module on inner part that will be put inside shirt then voila when magnets touch it will trigger wireless charger and lamp will be turn on, no need to cut and works with any shirt
I just tried with a couple of strong magnets on my shirt, and a multimeter. I didn't get any electrical connection between the two. It'd have to be a very thin shirt.
Awesome!!!! I recently watched Iron Man 2 as well, and it has me wanting to go off of one of those suits for Indy Comic Con this year. And I use those same mini connectors for my light sabers!!!
Why didn't you design the pieces so that they either friction fit or they attach with clips so that they can be disassembled later on? If the panel burns out, you risk a lot of injury to the pieces trying to replace said panel.
If this was something I was going to wear a lot for cosplay I probably would have done that, but as it is I really just need it for display. I don't know the EL panels will burn out, so for the most part I'd just need to replace the battery, but I could be wrong.
Thanks for showing the clean up of the resin. I've been wondering how easy it was to work with. I think I like the classic reactor Tony built in the cave.
Personally for making a miniature that's supposed to be all metallic pop with contrast, I go darker than intended on the base coat and HEAVILY highlight with a brighter metal. It prevents shading from looking "dirty" when it doesn't need to be.
Finding this video now with this elegant of a lighting solution makes me feel a bit brutish rather than refined -- for Halloween last year I made the reactor, designed it myself, used magnets and wireless energy transmission to power it (didn't want to put holes in any of my shirts) but I just got a string of battery powered LED lights and glued them to a diffuser panel within the reactor. This one looks a lot better.
Great job! Was cool to watch. Just for accuracy, Avengers: Endgame featured the Mark 85 Iron Man armor, his last armor design in the MCU. Still, very nice!
To get the details to show up really well without making it look dirty you could use a Gundam Marker. They do a pencil like tool specifically for fine lines.
Such a great tutorial thank you for taking the time to put this together and share the model. Unfortunately i think the scale of the PDF is off, Its about 15% smaller than the space the EL pain should go in… so unfortunately I wrecked a panel. Any chance of getting an updated template? Cheers
Damn Bill! I love how this turned out! I made my own over on my channel last month and it was super interesting/informative seeing the differences between how we made them! Keep up the great work, man!!
@@punishedprops Yeah absolutely! Especially with this prop and it's peculiar geometry! I feel like seeing how you interpreted it really gives me some new perspective on how I might do it differently next time. I love that kinda thing! Keep up the good work, Doran! You're a huge inspiration to me! 😁
As you can see by my profile pic, my favorite is the Mk VI (which is the one you were mentioning at the beginning of the video...Iron Man 2). BTW, that's me in the profile pic. That was taken while I was onstage at Planet Comicon's contest, which just so happens to be the one that was featured on one of the episodes of Heroes of Cosplay. Had about 10 seconds of fame. :)
You do know it is best to take off supports on a resin print before you cure and after you wash. Less likely to have those bumps and they come off so much easier.
Just a thought- for the hole in the shirt (for the sewing inclined) you could sew a button hole in your shirt so that the hole a) doesn't expand and b) can withstand a lot more fiddling if this is for cosplay
I wish there was someplace locally I could go to pickup all electronic bits, when I need them. Generally if I wait a couple days for shipping, I've lost excitement in the project. I miss Radio Shack.
I literally made the Mk1 cave arc reactor yesterday and posted a comment on one of your videos asking if you could do one to see what you could do lol. Awesome video, keep them up!
Bill. What a wonderful video this week. Very fun and funny to watch. Some folks may get put out over the sponsor ship, but hey it’s always something we all use. Keep up the great work. Love the content.
Nice, I used an EL wire on my first FDM print of a Darth Vader to make the lightsaber, need to make a transparent cylinder case for it, EL wire tend to bend and no stay straight, makes his Schwartz twist.
Hey Bill, great tutorial but there is one detail I think you could still add even now that would elevate this even further. If you look at the image you used, you can see it looks like the shirt goes under the reactor. So just make a new backplate that has a "lip" that goes out, so the reactor looks a bit indented into the chest. Right now it looks like "hanging off" the chest instead of being part of it. If you try it out, post it, I'd love to see that.
Greetings again Bill and Britt!, amazing prop build...I love the idea of a cool prop like that so my hat goes off to you guys 🤠. And as always I cant wait until next weeks upload!!!
In fact, if we do this by cutting the iron with a cnc, if we put a touch sensor, we can create a led circuit that lights up when we touch it twice, I think it makes sense.
Catching weird little references like the Cheat's Rave party is only one of the reasons I love this channel, but it also makes me wonder how many other references I don't get. Much like watching the Simpsons...
Ah the age old questions "remove the supports before or after curing" . I always thought removing and careful rubbing before curing helped to remove the pimples. Anyways that's how I've done it. Cheers for the great video.

@@punishedprops You may want to look into it. A bottle is cheap and you only use a few drops at a time in a wash. It really makes washes better behaved and easier to control.
Well, this is my new project. Only problems are, that i can´t get the electronic parts anywhere here in Austria. Have to order them at pihut and the inverters there are all out of stock...amazon links don´t ship here -.-
Okay, i got the parts i need. If you live in the EU like me, you can get the el panel at pihut in the uk. For the inverters, there is no chance you can get them, they are all discontinued there. You need to visit aliexpress, they have them all starting at 1EUR per piece, but the delivery time is little long.
Great work man. You could have ran all the power to the support plate and used magnets as contact points so that when the piece sits on ur chest it can be powered but u can also remove it from ur chest with out having a dangling cable that needs to run through ur shirt

Da Cheat, I didn't install that lightswitch so that you could have a light switch rave with the arc reactor.
Came here to post this.

Would have been way more practical
Still damn awesome and incredibly detailed
Bill is grounded! The switch is for turning the lights on and off, not throwing arc reactor raves!
I came down here to put this same comment. Glad to see it was already here.
Come on, let's crack open those arc reactors and pour it into Homestar's Mountain Dew
just add wireless charger module on inner part that will be put inside shirt then voila when magnets touch it will trigger wireless charger and lamp will be turn on, no need to cut and works with any shirt
Exactly what I thought! Get an elastic band and make magnets and module stick on it place that over your torso and boom i see that as a huge success!
@@TestarossaF110 right? all I have to do is wait for some genius to see these comments and actually make it xD
15:05 Homestar Runner reference. Only us old people will catch that.

The system is down.
Use the magnets to complete the circuit so you just need the back plate touching to connect power.
It may not work with a shirt in between the magnets, may not get an electrical connection.
@@AbuMaia01 true but you could always make small holes. Better than the bigger one to run wires.
@@AbuMaia01 also I think that if the magnets have enough bite to connect they should be able to supply power
@@terranceboyce8278 I think one small hole, buttonholed, would be better than two holes.
I just tried with a couple of strong magnets on my shirt, and a multimeter. I didn't get any electrical connection between the two. It'd have to be a very thin shirt.
All I can picture now is Bill hanging out in the shop like Tony Stark . . . which is AWESOME!

Ah the age old questions "remove the supports before or after curing" . I always thought removing and careful rubbing before curing helped to remove the pimples. Anyways that's how I've done it. Cheers for the great video.
if you trim off the support before you uv cure the print, you get fewer nubs to be sanded off.
i woulder if this could be done with a 5w wireless charging pad and receiver so no need to cut holes in your tops?
