Casting a part from hot glue? Brilliant!
I needed some translucent diffusers for the sides of my helmet so I made these out of hot glue, and painted the sides with chrome paint/weathering. (they are cast from a plastic cap for my tripod mount)

This is our first series of 3D printable EVA foam texture stamps.
Print them at home on your own 3D printer and use them to head-press textures into foam sheets for your next prop or costume project!
