What this video covers

SKS Props walks through the full process of designing, printing, and finishing a wearable gauntlet inspired by Carl's iconic armor from the book series Dungeon Crawler Carl. The creator modeled the piece in Nomad Sculpt, printed it in grey PLA on a Bambu H2S, and applied a metallic finishing process to achieve a battle-ready look. A free STL file is available via the creator's website for anyone who wants to print their own. The build was created as a DragonCon cosplay piece for a friend portraying the titular character.
