When's the right time to bring a knife to a gunfight?

When the knife is the gun.

Stinger started as a pistol in the browser. I added a blade as a part, and it stopped being either one. 18 parts, printed in gold, black and white — separate parts on separate filaments, so none of it is painted.

The print file is free, and there's a link in the first comment if you want it.

Technically, it's a pistol.

The bayonet is doing most of the talking. Stinger: 18 parts, built in RangerWorx, printed in gold, black and white — separate parts on separate filaments, so none of it is painted.

Not a helmet. RangerWorx builds blasters now — one grey block, parts snap on, every piece its own colour, split for the plate, printed.

Seven of these blaster files are free. Link in the first comment.

This started as my helmet.

FRIGHTSTER, ten parts, white. I opened it, went black on the shell and yellow on the face, dropped two pods on the cheeks and dragged them red. Not mine anymore — and that's the point.

Every helmet on my page opens like this. Free account, no CAD, browser tab. Link's in the first comment.

Take what's mine. What would you change first?

Every build I've made lives at one address now. So does yours.

New this week: every member gets an ARSENAL page — your helmets, rendered and spinning, at a link you can hand to anyone.

Mine carries a COMMAND ARSENAL: three files, free, no account. MECHA is one of them, and HARBINGER came off the plate this morning.

Make yours. It takes less time than the print does.

Too big for your plate? Cut it in the browser.

Build a helmet at full size and there's a good chance it's bigger than your bed. So RangerWorx splits it now. Tick an axis and a gold plane lands through the middle of the model — slide it, tilt it, or hit Align to surface and it squares itself to the nearest flat. Two planes gets you up to four pieces, one file each, STL or 3MF with your colours kept, and it checks every piece against your bed before you export. Flat faces meet flat faces; a little glue does the rest.

There's a one-box Mask mode too — keep the front half only — and it's free to try on every account.

The doors open September 1st. Free to start, no CAD, no downloads — and two months before Halloween, if you're planning.

What's the biggest helmet you've tried to squeeze onto a 256 mm plate?

Weeks of bug fixes, and the printer just sat there.

So I made the one I've been wanting to make for years. Under 30 minutes in RangerWorx, 28 hours on the plate, two colours, nothing painted.

I'm genuinely happy with this one. And then the nerd in me had to put it on and film it, which you can judge me for.

RangerWorx v1 is close — pushing for September 1st. Two months before Halloween, if you're planning.

What's the build you've been putting off?

https://youtu.be/K92DZjcS7qU - I've spent the last few weeks inside RangerWorx fixing bugs and finishing features, which is necessary work and absolutely nobody's idea of a good time. Somewhere in the middle of it I looked over and realized the printer had been sitting there doing nothing for days.

That felt wrong. So I stopped, opened the thing I've been building, and made the helmet I've been wanting to make for years.

Under thirty minutes to design it. Twenty-eight hours to print it. Two colors off one plate, no paint, no primer, no masking — it came off looking like that.

I'm genuinely happy with this one, and I don't say that about every print. Some of them come off the bed and go straight in a box. This one went on the shelf, and then it went on my head, because the nerd in me was never going to let a helmet like that sit there untried. There's video, no apologies.

You know whose helmet it is. I'm not pretending otherwise, and I'm not selling it. The free files can be found on my Patreon page and Makerworld.com.

RangerWorx v1 is close. I'm pushing for September 1st — soft date, but I'd like to hit it. That's two months before Halloween, which is the point.

Now let's make something EXCELLENT together!

Every one of these started in a browser tab.

No CAD seat. No sculpting. You pick the parts, colour them one at a time, and export a file that's ready to slice. The helmet coming off the plate at the top of this one was built that way.

The private beta round closed over the weekend. Thank you to everyone who got in there and used it — you found the things I'd stopped being able to see.

Now it's bug fixes and the feature list, which is the half nobody films and the half that decides whether a thing is a demo or a tool.

A visor this big needs supports. And supports leave scars.

The fix isn't a setting. It's a material.

PETG doesn't bond to PLA. So if you print your support interface in PETG, you can drop the top Z distance to zero — dead flat contact against the part — and it still snaps off clean. No gap witness marks. No sanding under the brow.

This is Talon. Under 15 minutes to design, a little over 9 hours to print at 50% scale.

One thing I got wrong: I didn't dry the PETG first. Do that.

What's the worst support scar you've ever had to sand out?
