Marvel’s Ant-Man opened in theaters last Friday. The film’s take on the Ant-Man costume has already inspired cosplayers to re-create it — particularly the helmet. We featured a 3D printed version about five months ago; Stefanos Anagnostopoulos designed the helmet based on what he saw in the trailer. I’ve seen fans make the Ant-Man helmet from other materials too, especially since more trailers, clips, and promotional stills have been released. Fran Albini used EVA foam for his. You can see the work in progress photo below. Albini built the helmet up with different layers and shapes, sealed the foam, and finished it with paint. The end result might be slightly more comfortable to wear than a 3D printed helmet.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
