 What's up everybody? Welcome to Hot Makes, right here on Hot Makes Live. I am Nerdy J, also known as Jim from the Edge of Tech and this, my friends, is Caleb. Nerdy J, also known as Jim from the Edge of Tech. Caleb, producer, video editor, extraordinaire right here across a bunch of channels tonight. Just a heads up, we are kind of everywhere. StreamYard has a feature now that guests can stream to their channels and we have a freaking amazing guest tonight. We have Willow Creative with us and I mean, she's been with us before and I'm super pumped to talk about all the new cool stuff and it's going on with her and the projects and some other fun stuff that maybe you guys didn't know about. So we're so excited about that. I am very distracted all of a sudden because I have her channel up and I was watching to see how it worked on YouTube. I think we're live on Twitter and we're live on my channel. I don't know if that's him telling me to actually move or say something or if that's him saying that something's wrong and he needs help. Like for that I need to fix something. I love it. And we got people commenting, hi Willow. So perfect. I was just going to say if you comment. So we'll ask her when she comes in because this is the first time we've done this. Is she able to comment to her channels in the background? Because that would be awesome. That would be cool. I know that. Well, no, look, yep. Look at that. Right there. There you go. There we go. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. She's typing it in StreamYard or she's typing it on her channel but we'll find out when she jumps in. But yeah, we got an awesome stream. I already spoiled it. We got Willow with us. We are so pumped to have her back in. We're streaming on her channel. Did you just say we spoiled it? Yeah. Oh yeah. Spoiler alert. We're on your channel. OK. All right. Heads up. Just a couple of quick things. Let's see. As always, in the description, somewhere down here on our stuff, if you're watching on any of our channels, hit that link. Donate something if you want to to the PayPal. Feel free. If you're not watching on channels, you're watching on Willow's channels. Hook her up because she's awesome. She deserves it. I just want to make sure that's out there. I have no idea how the descriptions went or anything in her stuff. Yeah, this is a brand new feature as of. Well, we didn't know about it until today. Probably we should watch that stuff. Also, one month away, actually one month and like three days away roughly, Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival, we were going to split that off into like a spoiler alert. That thing down there. Yeah, that thing. Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival, one month from today, it's in Colorado in Loveland, Colorado. We're going to go. We're going to have a lot of fun as seen in a video recently. They've invited us out and they asked me to MC the weekend, which is crazy, by the way. Justin and the team are with us. We're at 1,127 tickets for RepRap. That is phenomenal for a first year event. So keep that up. Isn't the goal something like 1,500 to you? So we're getting close. Yeah, 1,500 or 1,800. But hey, by the way, let's go to 2,000. And if you go and you're in the area or you can get there, it's free to attend. All you have to do is get there. I know I had some people reach out and say, thank you for posting your video because we had no idea this was going on. So spread the word, spread the love, share that video, get it out there further. Because there's a lot of people that have no idea that this is going to happen. We're going to do a live episode of Hot Makes while we're there too. And I think we're just going to figure out who the guests are on the spot with multiple guests. So it could be an opportunity to just jump in the background like a newscast and somebody's acting a fool in the background. I'm telling you, it's going to be Jimmy on the street or something. I'm just going to run around. It is going to be crazy. And we're just going to have a bunch of fun. Oh, boy. Yeah, well, it makes them softer that way. It makes them softer that way. Battle cry. There's so many chats. Yes, there is. So let's see, we're going to keep rolling. Hey, don't forget. If you haven't heard about this yet, Thangs is doing a contest currently that at Brian Vines, the real Sam Prentice, not the fake one. And I are all judges on. And it's a P1P contest for Bamboo Labs P1P. And that's Bamboo Lab, Apostrophe S, not Bamboo Labs. Because I hear so many people calling it Bamboo Labs. And it's not. It's Bamboo Lab. Anyways, long story short, we have the P1P contest. So all you have to do is design something cool, remix something cool, and throw it up there. And don't forget to tag. Because you want to make sure you tag. It's a little bit further down. Actually, I have some cool stuff. What? What? Yeah, there you go. There you go. So it's super cool. Design something, throw it up there. And you have a chance to win some really awesome prizes. John over at Thangs is really doing some awesome things over there and asked us to judge. Yeah, there's some cool stuff here. I'm going to jump on the mind real quick, Caleb. Yep. And boom. And here's some stuff that's being submitted. So it's hashtag Thangs Bamboo Contest. You can see it up here. And it's in the rules too. Actually, we'll put the rules in the description. And we'll post them just in case if you guys haven't seen this yet. But for instance, let's. I'm just going to pop the link to this page, the whole page in the description. There you go. So what is this? Oh, this is all the different parts. I was like, what are we looking at? So there's a whole bunch of parts on this one. I wanted to see like a finished product. But apparently, is there pictures? Come on, come on. I don't see it. Oh, wait, wait. The professional. Loads. Boom. Yeah, we're professional. So this is called The Shield. That's pretty cool. It's a green and black enclosure. It looks like this person came up with. I love, by the way, I love the colors. I love the. Oh, that's pretty cool. Anyways, you can jump on here. There's the panda. I love the idea of a panda enclosure. OK, I changed it. Sorry, I was distracted. What do you got? Oh, a panda. That's a panda enclosure. Yeah, but there's some right. There's some really cool stuff. There's poop shoots, all garbage shoots. There's all sorts of crazy designs that are going to be on here. And Sam, Brian, Vines and I are going to have some fun judging this. So jump in there. There's still time to do that. So jump in, get your design in there. There was a Raspberry Pi thing on there. And that reminded me I am surprised or maybe just disconnected because I didn't see anybody doing anything fun like Raspberry Pi related for Pi Day last week. There was definitely a bunch of Pi Day stuff. I had. Was there? OK, I'm just disconnected. But I don't know what to talk about. No, I had time. It was good. Anyways, all right. Well, but yeah, check out the contest. Super awesome. You want to enter as fast as you can because it's almost over. So get in there. Your chance to win a P1P and a bunch of other really cool prizes. So so spread the word on that, too, because I know a lot of you guys are awesome designers out there. I'm excited. Well, well, there's more stuff that Justin's posting. But I tell you what, here's what we're going to do. We are all over Willow's channel. So we need to get her in right away. I'm going to have some amazing conversation here because because we learned some really cool stuff about Willow behind the scenes and she's so pumped to talk to us about it. Also in the chat, she's like she's like so many chats. That means a whole bunch of people are watching what we love. So here we go. Ladies, gentlemen, all the way from. Well, I'll tell you where she's from in a little bit. But Willow Creative, how are you doing? How are you doing? I think last time you were on, we talked about this. Your real name's not Willow, but you said we could call you Willow because that was easier, I think. So is that still good? Are we still good? Yeah, you can call me Willow or Mary's, that's all right. Mary, that's OK. There we go. I knew it was. I'm going to call you creative. How about that? So, yeah, welcome. Welcome back. It's been it's been a while, at least a year. I think so. Yeah, I don't think I built my sabbathoon last time yet. I'm not sure when it was. Last time you were on, were we still? I was still in the Netherlands, I think. I'm in Florida now. So that's been a little easier, I think. Yeah, I think I think when we talked to you last, you were building the wolf, like the face for the wolf and showing us how the mechanism worked. Now that project has been around for quite a while. I started at like two years, three years ago. But like every every year, I've done like an improvement on it. So yeah, it changed a little bit every year. I don't know that I don't know that it was completed, though. When we I think we just saw the the inner workings of the the mask helmet, you know, but I think we saw the finished one. I think we talked about the finished one in a later episode. Yeah, that was 2021 Halloween. I completed it. It was a little like I had to work on it really fast to get it completed for Halloween and get like the recordings and photo shoots out and everything. So every I was working on it for a really long time. And then the last two weeks, it was a nice bam, it's there. You know, and then it just kind of goes over everyone's head. It is episode one hundred and forty of Hot Makes Show. So it's very possible. It was two thousand twenty one when we talked to you last. So I'm going to gloss over this before before we go any further. I know everybody on your stuff knows who you are, but can you let us know real quick like who you are? Where are you from? What do you do in that kind of thing? And then we'll jump into everything else. Just just in case someone is wondering who is Willow Creative? Absolutely. So I'm a cosplayer or costume maker from the Netherlands. I've been doing this for about a decade, I think. And for cosplay, mostly I do like video games and public game shows and MMOs. And over the last 10 years, I've explored a lot of different techniques. I got into 3D printing about four years ago. And 3D printing is just really awesome for costume making, since you're basically making a prototype every time you start a project. And 3D printing is really perfect for that, especially because I could combine it with my 3D modeling degree or college that I was following at the time. I'm graduated now and I went costume making full time. I make all sorts of 3D printed masks and cosplays for video game companies, but also for my own shop. And yeah, that's what I do now. I used to do this in the Netherlands. I moved to Florida last year, and now I'm doing this in Florida really. Well, spoiler alert, you're in the US now, which is which makes it a lot easier. It makes it much easier. I think last time we were on, we pre-recorded because of the time difference. And well, welcome for number one. Welcome to Florida, where it's probably pretty warm and humid right now. It's pretty comfortable right now. Yeah, is it? Speaking of last time we recorded, while you were giving your intro, I looked it up. I could not find a previous episode with Willow on the HotMakes channel. So it was before we moved on to the HotMakes channel when we were still doing it exclusively on the Edge of Tech channel. And that was episode 47, two years ago. So almost exactly a hundred episodes ago. Yeah, I knew it was something about 2021. Yeah, so almost exactly, like you said, almost exactly a hundred episodes ago. That would have been crazy. I wish we would have paid attention. We could have done like a hundred episode, like, you know. So I do that does raise a question that I had for you, though, which is these costumes are so intricate and take so much time to put together, whether it's hard armor stuff or whether it's the fuzzy hairy stuff. What does that look like long term for, like, maintenance and keeping it up? Yeah, it depends a lot because, like, I don't wear my costumes very often because, like, the Willow costume was made two years ago. I've worn it maybe two or three times. And besides that, it just gets, like, aired out, cleaned out, nicely freshened up and then it gets packaged away or, like, disassembled in some way. I actually disassembled my animatronic wings the other day because, like, if I keep the feathers on too long, it's going to get deformed and it sags and it gets dusty and all that stuff. So you have to take this individual feather off? Yeah, so I like the small feathers, they're all, like, soon to a blanket. So it's really easy to take off. And, like, the big feathers, they're all, like, hooked in individually. So I just take them out, flatten them and iron them and then, like, wrap them up. And then only the frame is left, basically. And then so that keeps them nice. And, yeah, honestly, I don't really keep my costumes for a very long time. They either get sold or disassembled or reused in some kind of way. And, yeah. Otherwise, you'd end up with a whole extra room that's just storage. Storage, our storage unit. Yeah. I'm also the kind of person that doesn't really wear old costumes anymore because, like, I keep making new stuff. So everyone wants to see the new exciting costume. And for myself, it's also more exciting to wear new projects instead of an old one. So sometimes you sell the old ones. Do you then use that money to fund new costumes then? Just kind of like, yeah, sometimes I don't really keep track of the budget anymore because I get like income from from from other from my shop and from other video game companies that also hire to make their costumes. So, like, the budget is fluctuating and just like it gets thrown into one big pot and then I see where it goes. That's awesome. So last year, you made Castiel. I think it was last year. You made the Castiel with the big wings that came out and then they moved, right? Do you still have that? Yeah. So, like I said, I actually took off the feathers last week because they started sagging and I got frame in a garage here right now. So maybe maybe I'll reuse it, make some white wings or something. I had that in mind, but it's been a little busy trying to get that stuff started. And that was a huge build. And so you said you moved to Florida last year. You're you're here in the U.S. now and you have a new place. We talked a little bit before the show and and you kind of wanted to show off your your makerspace a little. Do you want to? Yeah, absolutely. Let me just grab my laptop and show you guys around a little bit. So I got like a little craft corner here. Surprise, Caleb. I don't think you're around when we talked about this. I was a little craft corner here, a little sewing table that I made. Is that a random werewolf just laying there? Yeah, because like I'm working a lot of people love the werewolf. They really, really want to make like their own or get their own. So I got like a design going here because this is the base part. That's awesome. So I'm trying to get like a suitable design going so people can make their own werewolf. Oh, that's cool. OK, so the little stems that are sticking out are so that you can get lights in there, but still be able to see. Yeah, this is for like because like it has the moving eyelets. They go around the eyes, right? Yeah, so you need to be able to fit the ice inside without gluing it to the moving eyelets. So it has like stems to get the ice on there. The stems are awful. So yeah, let me just so I got like a nice garage here. I also got a workshop in my backyard, but it's not ready yet. So I'm using the garage at the moment. Weren't you I think last time we talked to you, I know that was two years ago, but you were you were short on space to work on things. Weren't you? Absolutely. No, I got a really big garage now. So yeah, that's awesome. Big ass garage and fantastic workbench. I'm jealous. Yeah, me too. You got a whole bunch. Yeah, but that's way more organized in mind. You still kept the things in your garage. She's got my storage behind there. So OK, those are the deltas that you modify yourself. So I got like this big ass delta. It's working on one of my work lives right now. And I got the Delta Evelson V 400 like a month ago. I've been really happy with that one. And yeah, I had to I had to make some orders to get these started. That's awesome. And and we learned the last time you were on that you you modified those printers yourself for the height. Yes, absolutely. So that was the height difference on the big one in the corner there. The other one is actually on the on a on a pedestal. Yeah, it's it's one of those nightstands. So it's kind of cheating to kind of get the same. Yes. So Ed C. Wait, someone said, oh, Ricky S. Like many of us, the garage is not for cars. Absolutely. Absolutely not. No, when I so I moved in with a roommate quite a few quite a few years ago when I was in college and he was also a costume maker. And when we moved in together, we moved into a house both at the same time, I didn't like move into his house or he into mine. And we both agreed. We made a pact when we moved in that no car will ever see the inside of the garage. That's not what it's for. Vehicles belong in the driveway. I thought garages were for parking cars. Old Cremogen, absolutely not. Yes, all the dirty stuff goes in the garage and like the suit and stuff is behind me. Yeah, vehicles belong in the driveway. Yeah, everybody everybody's it's a little annoying because it's Florida and leaving your cars in the driveway is questionable. So I am I am because like the workshop in the back yard, it's about the size of a two car garage as well. So yeah, that's awesome. I think I can see it. Tripod says no cars in his garage. That's right. Yes, it's the one behind. Yeah, I see the red one. It's like the white one behind next to it. It's so cool that you have your own place, your own house and you have absolutely awesome workshop in the back. That's going to be really cool. You can see it's right there. So with the costumes you make and the fact that you don't have cars in the garage and that's where you make a lot of your stuff, would you say it's a monster garage? Yeah, I got the monster hats here. So oh, man, you got that one. But do you remember that show? Yeah, and I remember it with Jesse. Yeah, Jesse James and he brought in teams and mechanics and they had a like a random project that they had to build. I think it was actually two teams had to build or something like that. And it was always like a competition to like make a car or something that it shouldn't necessarily be. Like the one I remember is that they took a VW Beetle and they like filled it with foam and then put a big fan on the back and turn it into like a like a hoverboat kind of thing. Hovercraft. Yeah, there was a car. There was a lawnmower like, yeah, I remember that one. And the other one was, I don't know if you ever remember Monster House, same thing, but a group of builders. They came to a house, you know, whatever house was selected and they had they had a theme and they had to turn this house into whatever, like all this crazy stuff and in these houses. But but that that's I mean, it's so cool that you're in the US. You have some amazing space now, which is something like Caleb said. Yeah, I'll be I'll be we are having this space for a while. So that's really nice. So so we had a couple quick questions. Chris Chris from Belgium says, where does the name Willow Creative come from? That's a good one. OK, so the people that have been following me for like a long time, they knew that I still am. I did I did a lot of RuneScape back in the day. And my RuneScape username was based on the fact that I was like chopping willow trees and RuneScape at the time. So that's where Willow comes from. And yeah, I just tacked creative to the back of it because Willow Cosplay didn't sound right. I like I like to diversify my crafts every once in a while. It's not just cosplay anymore. Honestly, I do a lot of different stuff, especially back then. I was still like into a lot of different things. I was making plushies. I was making like custom onesies and blankets. And I don't know what else I was doing like I was doing like crocheting and stuff, actually drawing and all that stuff. So I use creative Cosplay. I need a custom willow creative onesie. I will wear it. Yes. Yes. I still get emails from people that find like old pictures of my onesies. They're like adults onesies, by the way. They weren't like the babies, but they were just to have like a button flap on the back. Yeah, I have actually had like requests for a button flap on the back of the day. I didn't do it. Well, I want it like full werewolf head for the like for, you know, you pull up the hood, but it's like the werewolf head. Yeah. No, no, I used that. I made like Digimon and Pokemon onesies. So good. Can you make one where when he pulls the hood up over his head, it has like fabric on the top that looks like his long, curly hair like on the hood. Yeah, perfect. Or it makes me look better. They're really long, like dog ears or something. Yeah. The bunnies go to curly dogs, you know, like the curly dogs. I love it, like a lobster or something. I don't know. Yeah. Anyway, every once in a while, I still get an email from someone who found like a really old picture of one of my onesies. And they really loved that character and they emailed me like, hey, do you still make these? And I'm like, oh, sorry, I don't. We have another one. What from Etsy, what made you move to the USA? My partner is based in Florida or from Florida. He had a work permit in the Netherlands. And just because of our situation, it ended up being a better option to move to Florida and pursue our both work careers here. So that's awesome. That worked out really well for us. And especially like the Florida housing market is a lot less expensive than in the Netherlands right now. Really? Yeah, I just needed a lot of extra space. And like the Netherlands is small. So if you if you want to get like a lot of extra space there, it's it's yeah, expensive. OK, I didn't know that. So that's perfect. That was the perfect reason for us to go here and and to get to get a lot of space here early. That that is awesome. I'm just now we can get you to come to remerf. Oh, yeah. What are you doing in a month? We get a we have a if you if you ever been to Denver, Colorado. I don't know if you have been there or not, but Denver is super easy to fly to like the all the major airports or airlines usually fly into Denver. But remerf is a it's a rep rep fest, basically a big giant 3D printing together. It's the rep rep printing colons here. And and it's like, you know, a whole bunch of vendors and sponsors, but most important, a whole bunch of really awesome people like showing off what they're doing, like just like we're talking about right now. And it's it's it's a couple of days. It's in Colorado and it's in about a month. And it's like I think he said there are already 1200 people signed up. It's free to go if you're just going to show up and be there. I kind of check it out. I it's been quite overwhelming to go in America. And because like in the Netherlands, I knew everything that was going on, you know, and just learning the scene and the places and the events and everything that's been going on. It's it's been quite difficult to to follow. Because like I checked it to like the cosplay events here and there's like 200 that happen. Yeah, there's so it's so difficult to get track of in the Netherlands. It's always like, oh, everyone's going to be at that event. Everyone's going to be there. It's it's very, very easy to follow. So it's been quite overwhelming. And then I have like an overlap between costume making community and it's really printing community. Yeah. Yeah, if you want to try my way through that. Hey, you're going to make it. You're going to make it. Yeah, you don't even get a plane ticket. Just put on your reassemble, put all the feathers back on the wings and just cast Colorado. Yeah, we got some Icarus scenes here if you want to try. There you go. Chris excretes. He says, willow willow needs to come to remerve. Absolutely. That would be so awesome. So Chris is coming in from Belgium and he has promised some Belgium chocolates. Caleb, he said he's going to bring him. So originally I met Chris, by the way, Chris, one of my very first, if not my first Patreon subscriber, like way back in the day. And he showed up at IRF 2019 and his plane got delayed and stuff. And he brought these chocolates to go to a Friday night event, but it didn't happen because, you know, his plane was delayed and stuff. I hope I'm telling the story right, Chris. And so then all of a sudden we're hanging out and he comes down. We're all in the same hotel. It just happens to be in the same hotel. Super awesome guy. And he's like, by the way, I have these chocolates and we're like, wait, what? So it was they were so good. Yeah, it was great. So anyways, my last name is Ferris and that's that's Belgian. I have Belgian history in my in my family. But so if he brings Belgian chocolates and I eat one, what if it like unlocks something in me? Like I become like a Russian sleeper agent and I turn into like an assassin and I'm speaking a different language. I don't think Belgium has assassins. So honestly, you're not that kind of country. Well, then they're really good if you don't know about them. I'll just start a metal band called the Belgian assassins. How about that? I had some I had a Belgium person almost take me out in the highway there, but I don't think it happened. So good. So good. So I did a mini Cooper just slides straight across. So yeah, it was generally a mini Cooper. I think the wingspan of your costumes is probably larger than a mini Cooper. Oh, yeah, they're about like four and a half meters. So yes, I'm getting my arms ready for rumor. So we're all laughing too much. Not my face hurts today. So so what do you work at? Like you're working on anything new or anything you can show us? I know you said you had the werewolf. You're kind of working on like a replicatable process, right? A mask. Yeah, exactly. Anything new you're showing us? I see another mask right behind you. That's pretty awesome. I've seen it on your last video. It's from last year. So yeah, that's not new. I'm just I just thought sitting there. Yeah, this is from the SAFTA project. I didn't know how lightweight it was. It is extremely lightweight. So it's like less than two pounds. I think I haven't exactly weighed it. But I did this project last summer for Bungie. They asked me to make Savaton from their game Destiny from the new DLC. And, you know, that was a really awesome project. So they sponsored me to make this. A lot of people liked it on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, especially. And yeah, of course. So it was really awesome to do. So like the rest of the costume is kind of like standard costume making stuff. And the mask was the fun stuff, because like it's got like this moving parts and everything. Yeah, that was like tender. I got like the flashy bits on the sides and everything. So it's what I love is that you build these masks to to do motions and stuff like when you talk when you move your jaw. Yeah, it just gives that extra wow factor. That's what I really like about picking my projects. So if it has like the opportunity for that wow factor, yeah. It's like so it's so like a lot would just make a helmet for like a Star Wars costume. Yeah, exactly. And then we just make a mask and the Iron Man builders are the only ones that kind of like almost everybody has a moving part on their mask to make it a little bit more realistic. You're taking other costumes that would that aren't Iron Man costumes, but they wouldn't be typically would normally typically be just kind of like a helmet or something. Giving them that same kind of like added little flavor of functionality like the I do like I do like the Iron Man like costumes as well. But like it's a little bit of the same stuff. I just really like figuring out how they work it or like other stuff works and then applying it to like a project that people don't exactly expect it to work. You know, yeah, I think I think when we talked about your Well Wolf mask last time you were on, you talked about how the lines like the the lines you ran in there, everything kind of did its own thing inside to make everything else move. Oh, yeah, everything has. Yeah, everything has like a double function. So yeah, it gets like I'm trying to optimize that a little better because the inside of the mask is an absolute mess. You can see it right there. But I mean, I love seeing you inside. Yes. And your eyes in this one. So if you haven't seen this, everybody, I'm going to try to find it. But I see the eye hole here. Yeah. So that's where you that's where you see, right? Yeah, do you have to wear like a balaclava underneath or something? Yeah, yeah, otherwise you see my face and my and the other thing is though, like those eyes are animatronic. They move, they blink, all that stuff. And and it's so I like that you have the hair tied up in a little bun in the back. Yeah, it's because I'm trying to develop a new prototype. So it's a little bit easier to keep it out of the way. Yeah, I actually took off like the big I think the batteries. Oh, no, I got it unplugged. But I have so good. Well, while you're while you're doing that, I just want to say, you know, it has a has a friend just to just make sure, you know, we're all friends here. Wait, which one's the costume? Yeah, right? Oh, there you go. So now, yeah. So it scowls at banks. There you go. I love it. And then it's so good. The blink is very natural. Oh, and I love when you when you move your mouth because that that attaches to it has like an extra. Yeah, it like scowls and yeah, it's ridiculously cool. And it shows the gums just like if you know, Wolf was scowling or something. It's so awesome that you put those little details in into the work. Yeah, it gets a little bit of extra life and people love that stuff. So that's it's really cool to do. Well, last time we were on you, you talked about how part of the thing, part of your creative process, no pun intended, is that you you'll see something and you'll be like, man, how does that work? And you'll try to reverse engineer it and see how you can use it into another part. And you said you had like a kind of a list of all this stuff that if I remember right, you said you like kept track of things that you thought. Yeah, I got like a folder with all kinds of like random moving stuff and techniques and all that kind of stuff. And every once in a while, I could take a peek in there and see if it's relevant for the project that I want to do, basically. It's like a like a Pinterest board of little. Yeah, I don't use Pinterest and like a personal folder. Is that and you like to reverse engineer something and then figure it out to how to do it yourself. And yeah, I actually got like one of those litter pickers the other day and I'm like, oh, this is cool, I'm going to pick it up. I'm going to take it out and take it apart and see how it works. Put it back together, see how how I have to put it back together. And then I can use it for my own ideas, basically. I end up doing that with like, like letter stuff or 3D printing stuff or prop stuff, Etsy, I'll just be shopping through Etsy and I'll find things that other people are making. And I'll be like, oh, that's cool. I kind of want to figure out how to make that myself and I'll add it to my shopping cart or I'll add it to a wish list. My plan isn't to buy it. It's just so that I can go back to that wish list and see what I was looking at before. Yeah, exactly. Just bookmark. It's kind of see how it works and it's really cool. Yeah, I have a question and like, if you're if it's something that you can't answer, I understand because I know you have to be sensitive about this kind of stuff. But when so like bungee, so you made the that costume for bungee when companies, video game companies or whatever contact you to do that kind of stuff, what is it? Does it end up being for promotional material? I mean, obviously you get to keep it, but do you end up doing photo shoots for like covers or posters or are you doing it just to generate hype? Like what's the end goal there? Yeah. So it's a little bit of both. Usually the video game companies are a little bit new to this process as well, of course, because all this influence and stuff really took off the last few months, basically. The last few years and bungee basically just contacted a bunch of cosplayers like, hey, do you want to make this costume for us? Do you want to document the process and basically post about this for a month? OK, we get a new audience and if it's actually like creates viral content, then it creates, of course, a lot of exposure for the game as well, right? Because they're going to do that in relation to a new release or something. So like, yeah, so I get like NDA content before it gets released and I start making the stuff when it's announced and then hopefully you finish making it when it's released. And then that's like the perfect time line to create that extra hype. And at the same time, I post about it almost every day. So it generates a lot of like constant attention for the game at that point. So that gives me another question because this happens all the time with like toy companies and movies that are coming out and stuff. Have you ever run into a situation where they give you materials to start on a costume or a prop and then between that and when they actually announced the thing or start releasing the thing, the design has changed. So your thing that you worked so hard on is not accurate anymore. I haven't had that happen, but I do ask like, hey, is this the final design? Because like a lot of companies don't realize that like we deal with a lot of little details. So if you change those, if you change like an integral like design, like a character suddenly goes from wearing a dress to like a shirt and a pants. And for the final design, it doesn't really matter because it still has the same colors. It still has the same like flow of the design. But for a costume maker, it means you have to start over and like completely. So I haven't had that happen yet. And usually the timeline is too short for it to still change that drastically. And it's not really a problem at that point. Also, because usually they sent me the, they sent me like a draft to me, which is of course under NDA. And I don't start making it until they really like announce it. So because there's no point in making it before they announce it because I can, I can show it and they don't get any exposure from it. So the best process for me is to start making it when they announce it. And at that point, it's usually already a final design. And then like I can, if it has changed in the, in the meanwhile, it's usually not a big deal. Do you end up getting to keep, keep any of those materials once the NDA is lifted? Like, do you have any cool, like exclusive, like concept art or like blueprints? Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely. But of course I can't distribute that, of course. Yeah, but it's like little trophies in the house, though. Uh, well, I get digital material usually. So yeah, yeah, I would in a print. For example, I have like the cinematic 3D model for Southwestern, for example, but I can't give that to anyone, but it's like a really high res model. That's awesome. So you have stuff like this, right? Um, and you put this together. So they contacted you, I'm assuming they contacted you. This was my own project. So this was your own project. This is from like a few years ago. Okay. Yeah, I'm assuming you, uh, kind of in a similar vein, but without getting the, the, uh, the commission aspect of it, you, I'm assuming you reposted this because of Metroid Prime remastered coming out. Yeah, that's because I just liked the game and I was playing the game. I was like, oh, a lot of people, uh, don't realize that I made this a couple of years ago. So it's cool to just highlight. Also, if you, if you make like relevant posts like this, companies tend to notice you too. And yeah, in the future, for example, how long, how long does it take? Like, uh, this full suit, right? Um, if you, if you had to guess, how long did this take you to make? Uh, I think this one was about six weeks. Oh, a month and a half. This is a relatively like simple costume. It doesn't have a lot of details. It looks very complex. It's all the panels though. Yeah, it's all flat panels that are pretty easy to cut and paint. That was a different one. But, um, so, so here's another question. So you model a lot of this stuff yourself, right? Um, someone asked a little bit ago, let's see, DBR dash it, um, says, do you, you sell your STL files or your designs at all? It depends a little bit on the design because, uh, some of my designs are pretty complex. And if I sell something, I also have an obligation to explain how it works and how to assemble it. So if it's a really complex design that requires like different materials and, uh, and, uh, a lot of like assembly instructions, I don't tend to sell it because like, for example, if I were to sell like the wolf mask, it is very extremely complex. And it is designed the way I set it up, the way I soldered the way I assembled my electronics. And I'm not going to, I'm not going to go and, and explain to everyone how those instructions work, because I know there's going to be a lot of people who buy it and have no, not, don't have the experience for me to, uh, to follow it exactly. And I'm going to get a lot of questions about it. But I do sell like a couple of simple designs, uh, like the helmets, the pink helmets that you saw just now was a collaboration with a 3D artist and, uh, we both agreed, like, hey, uh, I'm going to make it suitable for 3D printing. I'm going to 3D print you a copy. And we're both going to sell the 3D print design. Yeah. So people can make their own. And I worked out really well because it's just a helmet. It doesn't have like any complex bits. It's just one single print. And, uh, last Halloween, I made this demon mask, which is based around the same principles of moving masks that I always use. And it's really simple to, to assemble. So people can still like find and, uh, explore that design without getting stuck on it and having to email me and like masks to, uh, to find out how it works, you know? I love, I love that you're, you're talking about this and we have this behind you, like playing because this is like your whole process as we go. Yeah. So you can see there's a lot of little stuff. And this is not, not even half of everything that's And I think this is about when we had you on last, like right now. It was, yeah, at about the same time. That was 2021. Um, yeah. Someone, uh, Sof L says Diablo 4 beta was just released. Any plans to do anything with the Diablo franchise, if you can talk about it. And is, uh, is one of those gaming companies you work with Blizzard? I don't know. Again, if you can talk about it. I have, I have worked with Blizzard in the past. It was for the, the Warcraft Burning Crusade Classic release. I made the Illidan cosplay for that release. I have not gotten any Diablo 4 invites, unfortunately, but I do really want to try and see if I can, I can work on a live cosplay this year. That would be awesome because to get, she has like the cool ass wings and everything going on. And she has some interesting bits that I can experiment on. So I would love to try that out. Especially like it is an extra challenge to, to make a costume like that. And I really like taking on like new projects that give a little bit of extra challenge, a little bit of opportunity to learn new techniques. And all that kind of stuff. Jim, can you imagine if Willow did a collab of some sort with Tim O'Sullivan? Yeah, Tim. I was just thinking in my head, Tim, um, or, or off access or, uh, I mean, like any, any, like, you guys probably all know each other, but yeah, it's just crazy the amount of work that you guys put into all of this stuff. And I, I mean, just watching this from start to finish, it really does. It shows your like creative process as you go. You start with a shell. You start with nothing and then you go. And then you're, then you're up to this, right? Yeah. This is really one of the cool parts why I went into costume making. Cause like I did 3D design in college and it was kind of cool, but really creating something from nothing in real life and actually have like a tangible thing is a lot more satisfying. And if you're watching this, when you open your mouth, you're, you're like your, your gum show, everything works and the ears move. And like it's just those, like you said, those little things. I think you, I think even if I remember right, didn't you make the eyebrows move a little too? No, I thought about it and the initial like concept. I was like, oh, I really wanted to have the eyebrows moving. I did that in the Mewtwo mask, but not in the weir of mask because basically the setup that moves the eyelids. It's positioned inside the eyebrows because otherwise it's going to be right there. And to have that part moving as well gets a little bit of a skated basically. I mean, and it's just like, we, we talked about this last time, but the level of the, yeah. So this is the Illidan collab that I did with Blizzard about one, two years ago. What I see here, what I see here is like five layers of amazing work on top of each other. Like you've got the prop swords. That's cool enough as it is. Somebody would make that. You've got the horns and the makeup and everything. Somebody would make that. You know, you've got the wings. Somebody would make that. But you just did all of it together as one thing. Yeah, I like this project, but they really wanted pictures. And I, there's a lot about this project that you don't see because it's in a picture. Because like the weapons are all like lighted up. Yeah, they're lit up and stuff. I'm actually wearing like really big hoof stills as well. So like demon legs. Oh yeah, that's cool. Like the wings move and the horns are like really big and with the big ponytail on the back and everything. And I had like UV reactive tattoos. And all that story is not told in a picture, but it's like gone through Photoshop. And is that photo taken on like an on set location or is that a green screen? Yes, yes. It's the Villiers Abbey in Belgium. It is an absolutely amazing location. I've done a couple of photo shoots there. That's awesome. K2 Kevin, do you go ask, do you go to school for design or did you? What kind of training do you have and where do you get a degree in badass making? Well, you start with filament clips, K2 Kevin. I mean, that's, that's, there's your start. I think she said she started, you went to school for. Yeah. So a decade ago I, I was out of high school. I was like doing a little bit crafts and painting on the side, but I didn't really do anything creative. I went to university for biochem, which was completely different. And it didn't really, it didn't really click with me. And in the, while I was going to college for that, I went more into games and design and 3D modeling. I started dabbling a little bit with modeling and all that stuff. I was like, oh, why, why don't I go to college for, for game design basically instead of like biochem. So I went to college for game design and I got taught 3D modeling there, digital art, a little bit of all that, and how, how to integrate that into a game and game projects and all that kind of stuff. And in the meanwhile, I also continued with like the, the prop making on the background. So eventually I, I learned enough about 3D modeling and the 3D printing came about and I ended up combining all that. And my college also had like a 3D printing lab. So I, I tried to combine all that a little bit. I took some extra courses in 3D printing and, and stuff. Well, extra course, I kind of just took their lab and wrote it up as cool credits. And as such, and then my, when I started graduation, I worked for Jagex, which is the company behind RuneScape. I did a 3D, I did a costume for them and I did like the 3D design behind it. And I wrote that up as cool credits as well. So that's how it kind of got together. And, and, and that's how I finished college with like a 3D printing, 3D modeling experience and all that. And, and then I went into like full pro basically. That's awesome. That's awesome. But, and, and we were talking about- We had one more- Sorry. Go ahead. No, no, go ahead. Sorry, Caleb. I was going to say we had one more question. Ed C asked, you mentioned that you spent six weeks on the one costume, but in general, when you work on these costumes for those long periods of time, how many hours a day do you typically spend? Like, do you set hours for yourself since you do this professionally? No, I sometimes work really late on the Sunday evening. I don't do anything on a Monday. And it, it depends when I have the energy and motivation to work on something. Yeah. And right now, I, right now I've been in the United States. It's been a little like it's completely different environment. So everything slowed down a little bit. I've had to work on the house and everything, of course. And yeah, I just figure out when I have the motivation and the energy to work on something. I have to do my store orders as well, maintain my 3D printers, and answer emails every day, stupid emails, cool emails, invitations, and all that kind of stuff. I manage it all by myself. So it's, it's very diverse really. Yeah, that's awesome. Dylan G, Jim, first time catching live. Welcome, welcome. This is Hot Makes. If you guys don't know, this is our Monday night show right here, usually on the Hot Makes channel. And we'll get to Hot Makes in just a minute. I know Justin's like, hey, don't forget Hot Makes. But I got to show, I mean, like, I know this is little on the screen, but this is, this is your Castiel wings. Yeah, let me see if I can show you my, because like I have the wings in my garage right now. I forgot. The casual like putting the hands in the pocket and just kind of like letting the wings. That's the next level of like- They're huge, by the way. I wish I could- I've done so many wings over the years. And like every time they get a little bit bigger and a little bit nicer, basically. Yeah, so that's the mechanism. Let me see if I can show you the- There you go. That's so good. Blinding you with the garage lights. Let me drop this and then we're blinded by the light. I got the bare frame here, which is really nice for you guys to- Oh, now you see. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is like, it goes over my shoulder. I don't- Sure. Reminds me of- I have a zip tight. Reminds me of like the iron spider, like the Spiderman suit with like the legs. Yeah. I've been really like, I've been looking at like a couple of costumes that have like six wings. So I'm like, oh, can I do that? You can. See, it looks kind of looks like a bear chicken right now. I don't have the battery plug. That's okay. You can see the frame here. Yeah, that's awesome. That's so cool. And it's all handmade, right? You developed that. Yeah, exactly. Are those like 3D printed like linkages and stuff? Yep, exactly. So I've gone through like different iterations of these 3D printed links and you have to be really careful of like the print direction, the orientation, because otherwise it snaps really easy on the layer lines. And yeah, it's been 3D printing has been so great for costume making because you can make all this stuff in the garage without having to rent out the CNC like metal machine or something. Right, right. So like it goes over my shoulders with these hooks. And then like it goes. And I'm assuming there's probably like a strap or something as well. It doesn't just sit there. Sorry. I'm assuming there's like a... Yeah, I can attach straps here. But for like costumes that... Because like the Illidan costume, for example, it has no... You have no way to hide the straps. So a couple of costumes. I don't wear the straps. I don't need to. Oh, really? You just set it on your shoulders and that's it? Yeah, it just sits on my shoulders like that. It makes it very easy to use on a convention floor. And this is also a recent addition. I added these little gas cylinders. Oh, okay. They're really perfect because like you can install a lighter motor, a faster motor with less power. And these gas cylinders are just going to push it out in and out with the same force, basically. Yeah, that's awesome. And it's been a lifesaver for these things and it's going to be something I'm going to be using a lot more in my future projects. Ed C says, it sounds like you need an assistant. I'm ready if you're hiring. You have no idea how many times I get that message. A lot of times. I'm actually, I'm emailing you right now if you need it. So real quick, I know we want to get on to some hot makes and check out some cool stuff. I really want to look at this question though because it's a good question. Yeah, I saw the last question too. So, man down. So real quick, Battlecry says, is there a dream project that you want to do? Oh, do we lose you? I think we lost your... Hang on, you're muted. No, I think she muted it. I think you muted there, Mike. Yeah, we don't have, hang on. Maybe on StreamYard? On Mute? Wait, there we go. Yeah, on StreamYard at the bottom of your screen, if you click that mute button. Oh, she broke... Okay. No, in the private chat she said you broke her headset. Oh, no. That's okay. I wonder if you could use your... It was before it was a cliffhanger, right when we were getting like the last question. Oh, that's okay. In StreamYard under settings? Oh, I think she muted itself because it's unplugged, basically. Yeah, because you unplugged that headset. Anyway, I did break my receiver. Oh, no. So, anyway, you can put me back online. That's okay. Awesome. Wait, you can put you back online? Technical misapp. Oh, yeah, nothing to see. Nothing to see here. Nothing to be here. So, real quick, a question was... Do you know what it was like right now? You sound okay. So, the question was, do you have a dream project that you want to do? Hang on, one second. I'll be right back. It's not so much of a dream project because I feel like I can tackle a lot of things that I want to do. But for a dream project, it would be really cool to do, indeed, the Lilith cosplay and also to do the... I don't know if you guys know it, but the Kerrigan Queen of Blades from StarCraft. And also the Arbiter from Halo. And that one's really cool, I think. The Arbiter. Someone's doing that. Is it Erin? I think it's Erin. I thought another guy's doing... Uncle Jesse. Yeah, someone was printing a life-size Arbiter from Halo as well, like a statue. Yeah. That was really cool. Let me see. Is it... I'm pretty sure it was... I know Uncle Jesse's doing a life-size sum. Yeah, he's doing a life-size Magneto, probably. That's right, Magneto. And let me just see. He does the lightsaber shop. I think his name is Erin. I totally lost it because I'm thinking about... Hey, who's doing the life-size Arbiter? That is Black Armory, Erin. Yeah, Black Armory, exactly. Creature, not creature. Yeah, it was something with Armory. Yeah, I've been following it on YouTube. It's really cool. Yeah, it's huge, by the way, as well. Here, let's... They got the mouth and the really detailed armor that the Arbiter wears and all the fancy legs and everything. It's a really cool character. Yeah, he has a life-size Master Chief, too. Yep, yep. I've actually made an energy sword before, as well. I want to get back into that project. I wasn't really happy with how the structure was going, so I trashed it. Maybe in the future, I'll do another energy sword because they're really cool. Yeah, I remember this show is how big this thing is. He's like 6'7", or something like that. Yeah, the Arbiter is really big. Well, I mean, like, Aaron is. So this is Arbiter. So the thing is... The Arbiter is like 8 or something. Yeah, it's crazy. That energy sword is absolutely massive. In the universe, Spartans like Master Chief are supposed to be like 9 feet tall and 2,000 pounds, or something like that, in armor. That's crazy. Yeah, I've been a longtime fan of Halo franchise, so I would love to cosplay something for it. You guys want to go through hotmakes? Yeah, let's do some hotmakes quick. Let's do that. All right, let's go. All right, so the first one is K2 Kevin, by the way. As Maker Deck approaches its first year as a home for Makers to share their project, he came up with this pretty awesome project. Oh, yeah, that's awesome. This is a dollar, well, it's a $2 bill, really, in a spool. It shows you how big this really is. So many bags over here. Yeah, they do exist. I have a $2 bill with Michael Jordan on it. I don't know if it's worth anything or not. That sounds great. It was a thing back in the day when Michael Jordan was big. So he lit it up. This thing is phenomenal, so nice work, Kevin. This thing is monstrous. It's so cool for a stream of backgrounds or something. Yeah, exactly. And Maker Deck, I'm not sure if you've seen Maker Deck. It's really on Twitch, just search Maker Deck. People can go share whatever they're making. It's so cool, so cool. And I know Liz is with us. I saw Kevin. I don't know who else is with us, but yeah. All right, what do we got? Let's see. Fix him, dude. New articulated print-in-place Flexi Shamrock. I know we're a little past, but we had to show this. Everything's Flexi. Everything's Flexi everything. It's the threads, right? Yeah, this is the Flexi Shamrock. I have an idea. Fix them, dude. Make it bigger. Make it Flexi. Make this one 1,000 percent. Make it Flexi enough to go around a bottle and hold your bottle of Guinness with your Flexi Shamrock. Come on. So uncomfortable. Yeah, I think these are details. The size of them would have to be. You could be like trying to grab something like. I mean, it would be, you know. Next, local maker, Michigan, a little remix to add numbers in TinkerCab. TinkerCab, TinkerCab's street number. There we go. It looks so trippy. What is going on here? It's a clock. Well, I know that. But it changed like the colors and the lega hides itself in. Is that a mint colored filament? Or is that glow-in-the-dark? This might be. He's with us. Let us know. Well, here, let's go see. Let's see. It's three colors, eight filaments, swaps. Yeah. But how do you? What is the? Is that kind of it? It looks like it's got a texture to it, though. It looks three. Okay, no. No, yeah, it goes. It's a little weighty. Yeah. Okay. So if you open up one of those pictures, you can see the layer line. You can see the swapping. So it's printing flat and that's swapping colors as it's going up. As it's going up. Yeah. Okay, that makes more sense. Oh, that's cool. It is awesome. It's really cool. I was just not wrapping my head around. I don't think I could be able to read the time on it, though. Yeah, it does kind of blend in a little bit. But I mean, like, you know what would be awesome? Glow-in-the-dark. Like make the tops of the letters glow-in-the-dark. You know, that's the top layer. That'd be awesome. Like if something is glow-in-the-dark, though, it has to be exposed to light. And then like it's only glow-in-the-dark for maybe like 30 or 60 seconds after you turn the light off. So how does that? Well, I mean, who knows? All right, next. I know Willow would put lights in it and then it wouldn't matter. So this is a pretty awesome thing. This is on Instagram. OG HotMakes. And this is like old-school cars here. It's so hard to show because I can't expand it. Ah, I hate that. But these are actually like little gas-powered cars and they get them running. That's cool. That's so cute. And then let's see. Here we go. Little gas-powered. I wish I could expand this. They're on a line. So they clipped it to a line. And this is a giant circle. So this can go drive really fast. Oh, yeah. It's a giant circle. And then he gets it going. And then there you go. So there's a line in the middle that keeps it staring. Yeah. Wow, that's crazy. Wow. It's so fast. Well, this baby hits 88 miles per hour. That is so cool. But it's, I mean, like it's stuff like this that was like the grandfather to our making that, you know, in the current times, right? People just made like, let's just throw a gas, you know, RC car engine and a little line car. And yeah, it's so cool. There are some, there are some model railroaders that actually make. Oh, geez. Sorry. I've been looking at like the RC car stuff people do nowadays. They go crazy fast now. I'm like, I don't need to know the hobby, but that's crazy cool. There are some model railroading clubs that make like it's actual little either coal or wood fire on the inside. It's actually boiling and making the water making steam for the little train. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Originally they put like the little tea lights inside the side of the car. And then it's like the little engine go. That's so awesome. Big channel. I guess this is a way of saying that he will be at Remerff. Yes. Is it an announcement? Yeah. Well, it was when it got posted. But he printed. Boom. Look at that. Remerff. Congratulations. That's cool for like a batch or something on yours. Yeah. And I think I could be wrong. I could be wrong. But I believe this model is out there now for free, hopefully, because I know they asked for it. But the nice work, big channel. And we can't wait to see. Also always love me the atomic filament. I'm an atomic filament fan boy. Yeah. There you go. Good company. Candy, Apple, Golden Pearl. Dennis Crawford used to have an airplane like this. Yeah. Those the line airplanes are awesome. I saw some people fly. I only know like the little flying pigs that go like this. Is an airplane on a string just a kite with a motor? Yeah. Yeah. They also have like flying planes in a string like that. But you actually can control. You can control it and you can actually do tricks and all sorts of it's okay. It's a kite with a motor with a gas motor sometimes too. Oh, so it's a danger. It's a it's a kite that can explode is what it's a danger kite. I need to get it on the website. And yes, atomic filament. Let's see. It may be in possession of the Mermurf team. Nice. So release that bad boy, Justin. We want to be able to print this. All right. Lightspeed. This is available on Patreon. It's a secret stash, sad, daisy pot. There you go. So there's your secret stash, sad, daisy part. This this middle part, like I'll pull it up and then you can put something. What are we stashing? Whatever you want. Something sad because it's a sad, daisy pot. That's cute. Or something that makes you happy when you're sad. Yes. All right. Next. There's somebody under Caleb's desk and I'm not sure what he's doing. No, it's a cat. I'm not a cat. I'm here live. I'm not a cat. Yeah, I'm not a cat. I'm prepared to go forward with it. I'm here live. That's not it. I'm not a cat. Here's a painted resin print of the flutist and dragon together. Model the blender and print it on the W Saturn. Boom. Look at that. I've seen the dragon before, I think. I have not seen that yet. That's another one. That's pretty cool. I could never do something this detailed. So I just make it a real life. I just make it real. You're like, you're like, listen, if it's tiny, I can't paint it, but I'm going to build it full scale. I can do that. Just make the details bigger. And then they're not as it's not as detailed. I love it. I love it. All right. Well, we've got next Caleb. Oh, geez. This is a snippet from yesterday's video. I was apparently Mario Jim. You were what? I was Mario Jim. Oh, Mario Jim. Okay. Yes, you were. Justin, hope to interact with you at room. If Chris says yes. Nice paint job. Thanks. I painted the hat myself. I'm just joking. So if you didn't see yesterday's video, yes, it was another desk video. And I may or may have not got on it and wrote it all the way up. But I have been told in the comments of that video that that might void the warranty. So don't do it. But I had to try it. Come on. You're right. All right. Next. We'll get the joke if you watch the video. Happy birthday. Yes. Watch the video. Subsector. Subsector 3D. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Subsector 3D. Happy birthday. I have a I think I have. Yeah. And thanks to fix some dude for all the birthday models. There you go. Love it. Oh, it's cool. Is I wonder it looks like it might be like actual combat size, too. Like if you put a magnet on it, you could put it on your shirt. There you go. I like it. I like it. So Justin says you can find him. He'll be wearing one of the three organizer shirts. Wait a minute. Do I get an MC shirt? Is that a thing? No. Well, they want me to wear something. So what you don't know is that what you don't know is that we're being invited out. But you're not actually going to have any kind of like official event, like iconography on your body. They're just going to hand you a microphone. They're never going to turn the microphone on. And when people are like, who's this guy? They're going to be like, I don't know, dude. He just walked up with a microphone. He thinks he's right on the place. So what you're saying is like normal. All right. Next. Let's see. K2 Kevin speaking of that. Here you go. It's the it's the peeping dead. It is flexi peeps. Clearly, clearly with a walking dead background. But that's a phenomenal flexi peeps. Here you go. There's the flexi peeps. Those are cute. Oh, they are cute. I feel like you can eat them. But you got the peeps and the bunnies. I like that. I like that. They do look like they could be eaten. Yeah, which is always. I mean. Peel a flexi prints on a on a food printer. Yeah, and I want a VIP shirt. That's funny. Oh, all right. Let's see what else we got. Oh, so this was funny. Fix some dude speaking of. Yeah, I got to say something. For some reason, there's something about your post. So on my personal Twitter account, I have my age in there. So it doesn't do this to me. But on the HotMakes Twitter account, there's no age put in there. So it censors your post telling me that it includes potentially sensitive content. I don't know what's sensitive in this. I mean, my Mewtwo costume gets flagged for sensitive content too because of the color. Like it looks like it's it's just naked, I guess. I don't know. I guess, yeah. It constantly gets flags for sensitive content on Twitter. Oh, so the fun part was is the fix them, dude. This is a joke because I thought of this when I was editing the video. But we might be putting Titanic footage in there. So thank you for making this joke. Yeah, yeah. So fix it, fix them, dude. Oh, man, that was that was awesome. And nobody has ever looked at me like this. So I just want to throw that out there. Apparently, apparently. Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio does. Yeah. All right. Next, last but not least, tripod. He's here with us. You have one more, actually. I saw that. I saw it. I got it up. Hydro graphics on 3D printed parts. This is super cool. He hydro dipped his his death racer, his battle racer, whatever we're calling them today. And it's such it's a really cool way of doing it. It's a really cool way of getting some awesome graphics on any models you're doing. And spoiler alert. He uses a toilet. Yeah, a toilet. He can he can hydro hydro. Wait, does he really? Yeah, you gotta watch the video. You can just flush the rest of it. Are you? I know I haven't watched the video. Are you serious? You gotta watch the video. I gotta watch the video. I think it's really interesting because the technique I've never tried it. That's not it. And you know, it's a bucket. It's not a toilet. It's a bucket. He's laughing. It's a bucket. It's a toilet. It's a bucket, right? No, it looks like a bucket. It can be a toilet. Yeah, it could be. No, no, you're no. You're absolutely trying to try pod. Let us know in the comments. Have you ever used a toilet to hydro dip your parts? Let's see if let's see what he says. He's in the he's in the chat. All right. But it's such a good one here. You say the word toilet. Toilet, toilet, toilet. How do you say it? Toilet, toilet. What you're saying is T-U-L-L-E-T. That's what you're saying. It isn't just a bucket, though. See, huh? It looks awesome, though. Seriously, the hydro dips that he did look really cool. Very cool results. And then and then we have one more today. This is just put out by Ethan's dad. This is chat GTP write a Lyme Rick about cosplayer Willow creative. Oh, dude. What do you just say? Did you just say Lyme Rick? Are you serious? It's a Lyme Rick. It's a Lyme Rick. A couple of Willow, a couple episodes ago, we were looking at flowers and he said peony instead of peony. And I still can't get that out of my head. A Lyme Rick. You are fantastic. I mean, I would probably say peony peony. I don't know. Sometimes I get like one of these English words because my native language is Dutch, of course. Right, right. That's a good excuse. Words that I've never heard before. That's a good excuse. Written before. Jim, Jim, how long have you been speaking English? You have a teacher? Apparently not. I'm super good at English. Is it your first language? So it is no. Well, I can laugh because someone says the list grows, battle cries. So there's people keeping a list of weird stuff, I say, including my wife, by the way. Yeah. So anyways, remember, I just want to throw it out there that Angus from Makers Muse also said peony because that's what he would say. That doesn't make it okay. Where's he from, Jim? Where's he from? It's not a different language, but it's still a different country. All right. Okay, you post it. You go ahead and read this, Caleb. Your Lyme Rick. Oh, do we need like a music? I don't know that I have music for this. Should we all like snap or how do people, how do you try to do people? What is it called? I don't know, but we're over time. I don't want to keep Willow too long. Come on. I'm not going to read this. You read it. What? Don't put me on the spot like that. No, because then I'm going to mispronounce. No, what you're trying to do is you're trying to get me to read something on the spot. So I'll mispronounce something and then you can get back at me. The only word you can mispronounce here is strife. So you're good. There once was a cosplayer named Willow whose skills were truly hard to swallow. She brought characters to life with her talent and strife and her costumes were always on the follow. Thank you. Thank you. I don't know how. Yeah. Make amuses us trailing. Yes. So that's awesome. ChadGDP knows who you are. Well, at least knows who Willow creative is. So that's pretty cool. And nice work, Marcus, for throwing that out there. That's pretty cool. Absolutely. Thank you. Let's see. I got a tagger though. You didn't tag her in it. I've seen it. I think it's mistacked. Boom. Well, maybe it was. Now I tagged you again. All right. We're about ready. We're over time. I apologize for that. But before we go, one more time. Who are you? What do you do? Where can we find you? That's a big one. Okay. Yeah. So I'm Willow creative. And you can find me on YouTube now as well. Not just YouTube in a while, but I've been re-uploading stuff there. And it's been fun on YouTube. You can find me as Willow creative on Instagram as well and TikTok now too. And Facebook, Twitter, all the big platforms basically. And I post almost every day on what kind of random stuff I'm making or doing. And yeah, check it out there. And you can find out what I'm up to every day. Awesome. Well, we are super honored that you came back. It's been a couple of years, almost 100 episodes since we've had you on. So maybe next time, now that you're closer to us, it won't be so long. But we definitely appreciate you coming on. It's much appreciated. Yeah, you guys are still going strong. So that's really awesome. And it's really nice to see what I've like, what new stuff we got going in the last few years between the first time and now. So yeah, what we appreciate. I think with Maker Deck, the Maker Deck crew posted earlier asking what kind of things inspire you or motivate you to keep making cool things. And of course, like I think I commented from the HotMakes account, but like seeing other people doing cool stuff is what keeps us fueled. So like having this show every Monday night and seeing what other people are working on, but then also having guests like you who are doing things that are just above and beyond most things that we see is just, that's what keeps us going, you know? Yeah, exactly. There's just so many people all over. And like all these thousands of people making cool stuff is always something new or interesting there that motivates you and gives you that energy to work on something that gives you like an idea. Absolutely. And every time you post, like seriously, all of a sudden like a week, we'll look at Willow's web or Instagram or something and you're like, she's working on that now? Like, and then, and it could be just... I'm not very smart yet. I mean, it's like, it could be just the, I see what you're doing there. It could be just like the beginning of a project and it's like, where's this going to go? You know, because you take stuff and you kind of do this in the end game. Yeah, I just throw it out there so it goes, yeah. I mean, when you're done with your stuff, it's better than stuff that's probably used on the screen. So that's just amazing. Real quick, everybody else out there, coming up next week, we have Uncle Jesse. Clayton will be joining us. That'll be a lot of fun. In two weeks, we have Sean, 3D print general. He's going to be with us. And then April 10th, the Remerf crew will be back. We're going to talk about Remerf, which will be in that case, like 10 days away. So I think we have 13 days away. Yeah, so that's that. So April 10th and then the week after that is April 17th and I don't know that we have anybody lined up for that yet. So I'm thinking about asking Daryl if he wants to come on. Let's do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do it. I love his stuff. We always talk a lot about crafting. Which, by the way, Jim, you lied to me. He hasn't been on the show before. What? Because I commented. I said, hey, we got to get you back on the show. He's like, back. It'll be my debut. I thought he was on, too. That's it. I'm going back through episodes. Everybody else, thank you guys so much. Willow, hang out. We'll be right back with you. Everybody else, we will see you next week right here, 6 p.m. on HotMakes. Don't forget, find the cool stuff out there, especially on Twitter. Hit that hashtag with HotMakes as you see on the bottom of the screen right now. And we will get notified. We'll get it in a show coming up. And we appreciate every one of you. I challenge you, all that are here. Go tag one thing this week. Let's see all the cool stuff we can do. Doesn't matter what maker genre, but that's a challenge. One HotMake this week tagged from a different creator. Let's see what you guys come up with. Everybody else, have a great week. Thank you. We'll see you next week on Monster the Wild. Thank you again. Have a good evening. Yeah. We'll be right back with you, everybody else. Bye.
