Astronaut space suit costume valve and connector

thingiverse

Magnetic valve and angled connector designed specifically for a space suit costume. The components are engineered to fit together seamlessly, holding in place by a 7x4,5mm magnet that makes a satisfying sound when assembled. I carefully aligned the magnet poles to ensure each part can only connect with matching color parts. The backpack's hoses were crafted from 16mm foam tubes wrapped in canvas, which was securely attached to the angled connector using hot glue. This sturdy construction adds a professional touch to the overall design. The helmet was created using EVA foam and precision-cut Lost Wax templates available at https://www.lostwaxoz.com/shop. The result is a durable and intricately designed helmet that complements the space suit perfectly. Insignia and name tags were skillfully cut out using a Silhouette Cameo cutting machine and finished with heat transfer vinyl for a sleek, high-quality appearance.
