Cosplay Prop Weight Check 3d Print vs EVA Foam #cosplay #propmaking #warhammer40k

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.
