With a 3D printer and sense of imagination, a California natural gas industry worker takes

superhero DIY cosplay to a whole new level.

That's right, we're going to talk about cosplay last year he brought in $100,000 on the

side through a variety of revenue streams, including selling designs, selling actual costumes,

and an active Patreon campaign.

For a quick rundown on cosplay, if this is new to you, check out episode 933, Star Wars

fan forge's lightsaber empire, or episode 119, way back in our first year, cosplay photographer

earns $47,000 from epic Star Wars portraits.

Cosplay is not all about Star Wars though, Wikipedia defines it as the practice of dressing

up as a character from a movie, book, or video game.

It originally comes from Japan, but is now popular worldwide.

In fact, I think it's safe to say that it's almost mainstream now, or if it's not totally

mainstream, it at least is very widely known.

So this guy is using a 3D printer to create better costumes, essentially, and he's doing

pretty well for himself.

So I'll tell you all about how that works, give you the details of his business, and if you

want a super cool Halloween costume this year, you might be interested in this story as

well.

So stay tuned, it's all coming right up.

Get up and add it, that's my mother used to say.

Get moving.

Get your skate saw.
