Mixing EVA foam with 3D printed details can result in intricate, awesome projects! I share some tips and techniques on how to put together slick, high quality cosplay props and armors - and I think you'll find them useful! From prototyping, Fusion 360 insights, to sealing, priming and painting, both beginners and advanced crafters can learn something here.

I get my EVA foam, Flexbond and Foam Clay from CosplayShop.be - they're not sponsoring anything, I just like their products.
