What this video covers

This short-form video compares the finished weight of a Warhammer 40K Cadian lasgun prop built two ways: 3D-printed PLA versus HD EVA foam. The PLA version weighed noticeably more than the foam build, though both are presented as viable lightweight options depending on a maker's preferred workflow. The creator also offers free PDF foam templates and STL files for a full suite of Cadian armor pieces via their website and linked repositories.

Key takeaways

  • PLA-printed lasgun came in heavier than the EVA foam equivalent
  • EVA foam version was the lighter choice while still looking the part
  • Both fabrication methods are endorsed as solid options depending on your skill set and tools
  • Free foam templates and STL files for Cadian armor are available from the creator
