🖼 The gallery — made by real people; send yours and it joins the wall.
The armor material chosen by gear, budget, and surface — foam for volume, the 90–110 °C drape for detail, the sandwich for both.
Series 🎨Nov 2026One project touching four benches: the EVA core here, the laser stencil on Fabrication, the stitch math on Mandrel, the bead accents on Bead Bench. The family's first cross-bench build.
Learn 🎨Nov 2026The gun moves, the curve holds, the foam remembers, the forming window, and the re-heat that resets a warp.
Electronics 🔊Nov 2026Seven editable zones, a three-to-five rehearsal calibration, the quiet-while-you-walk test, and the cue rules the rooms learn.
