I will never not be impressed with the amount of things that can be made from EVA foam and Worbla. Cosplayer Akishuna crafted a replica of barbarian attire from Diablo III and said barbarian’s giant axe for the Montreal Comiccon using those materials. She printed an image of the axe in game and scaled it up. It’s a Two-Handed Mighty Weapon, and even though it was only her first weapon/prop build ever, she completed it in two days.
She said:
I made the breastplate with worbla, indeed. But all the other parts of the armor and the axe were made with EVA foam and craft foam.
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, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, 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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
