3D Printed Starro Face Mask

In this project, we’re making a Face Mask inspired by Starro from The Suicide Squad. This mask is flexible and features blue and purples to look like those creepy starfish face huggers.

The HalloWing is the perfect board for this type of project! It’s an easy way to get an animation eyeball with no coding skills required.
