Description: Here’s how easy it is to insert the magnetic eye frames into the spiderman costume. In this film you can see what the spiderman costume looked like before I finished the 3D printed face shell: youtu.be/MSmqcrTGo1c Or more videos can be found in my youtube channel: youtube.com/SpideyPlanet Thanks for subscribing! youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=SpideyPlanet The eyes of the spider-man suit are removable due to a total of 8 magnets, that are applied to the eye frames and the face shell mask. The face shell is installed under the mask of the spider-man costume. Making the face shell was one of the most challenging parts of making the spiderman suit. For years I was unable to add the face shell to the spiderman costume, as my research showed me that making a shell to my required standards was not possible with the budget I had available. But then new 3D printing technology arrived and it opened all the doors. Not only could I keep fine tuning the design until it was exactly the way I wanted it to be, it also made it possible to easily create multiple sizes so everybody could wear one. With the initial help of a professional 3D designer, using Max 3DS, I spent about 6 months total to get the design exactly the way I wanted it to be. The eye frames are separate designs, and are magnetically locked into the face shell, with the fabric of the costume in between. This way the person wearing the spiderman suit has the comfort of taking out the eyes whenever he wants. Small holes are added to the designs, that allow magnets to be glued in. 3D printing is done by Shapeways in Eindhoven. It's printed in their black strong and flexible plastic on an SLS printer. The face shell for the spider man suit is only 2 millimeter thick, yet it's very strong and the slight flexibility it has makes it comfortable to wear. The raw 3D printed material however is damaging to the spandex fabric of the spider man costume, therefore the shell is thoroughly sanded before use. The eye frames are printed in white polished strong and flexible plastic, also on an SLS printer. They were more of a challenge, as it's important that they are very smooth and painted metallic black. It actually took me and a professional airbrush artist dozens of trials and errors to find out how to make them this perfect. First it's important to have them polished by Shapeways, to take off some of the rough surface. Then we paint the frames with surfacer after which the frames are sanded by hand, using 3 different grits to get it real smooth. Once it's smooth enough it's airbrushed in a metallic black color.
