THE BEST 3D Printer for Cosplay

After 2 years of hands-on experience with 3D printing, I’m finally making the video I wish I had found when I first started. Back when I was just getting into cosplay, the main reason I got into 3D printing was to create detailed, accurate props and armor pieces. But figuring out which 3D printer was best for cosplay builds took a lot of research, trial, and error.

In this video, I break down everything I’ve learned about 3D printing for cosplay, including what to look for when buying your first 3D printer, the best types of printers for costume making, and the key features that matter most for printing large, wearable parts like helmets, gauntlets, and weapons.

If you're just getting started with cosplay and want to make your own custom armor, props, or accessories, this guide is designed to save you hours of research and help you start printing with confidence.

What you'll learn in this video:

Why I got into 3D printing specifically for cosplay
What I wish I knew before buying my first 3D printer
The top features to look for in a cosplay-friendly 3D printer
Pros and cons of different printer models and setups

Blue's Armory is a channel built around my love for costuming and Star Wars I've been making Star Wars costumes for years and finally started to share my love with everyone else. I am by far not the best crafter in the world but I'm hoping through my mistakes people can learn new skills and what not to do on their journey through this hobby!
