Well, for Halloween, i wanted to be Mick Thompson. But, unfortunatley, my mom, always having to be in charge (I know parents are supposed to) and always be right, told me to wait until October to get it, when i wanted to get it in September, when it was $30, since i knew it would go up closer to Halloween.
I was correct, the masks now being $100+.

So, now that she ruined any hopes of that coming to light, i decided to be Corey Taylor, the Singer of Slipknot.

Now, the mask isnt all that great without his wig that he wears with it (I'm talking about the Subliminal Verses mask, the All hope is gone one goes for $150, And Slipknot/IOWA goes for $300+ (holy shit), this one goes for $35)

Now getting the mask is easy, but the wig isnt sold, since here is what it looks like:

Obviously your not gonna find half blue half red hair, with partial purple in the middle.

Now, my question, how would you change the color of a wig to such needs?

My assumption is take a blond wig, and dye it would something, or put it in colored water, one half at a time, but i'll need input on this because those are just assumptions.

Gracias in advance ;)

Depends on what it's made out of. If it's plastic fiber string things then I would suggest you spray paint it. Best bet would be to grow your hair out or something and get it dyed quickly. Why would you want to look like that anyway, even on Halloween? Wouldn't you be much happier being a ghost? Or a Jehovah's Witness?

There's spray paint for the hair...
I suggest a white wig though...

They make spray paint for plastic hair?

Why don't you just go get some extensions? That's what my fiance does when she wants longer hair. Or she used to until I made her stop.

Fail and fail.

Yes. Excellent, its perfect, just pick them at a party store, right?

They do.

Find some red blue and purple extensions of that much hair in that kind of style and texture ;)

And why would you make her stop if she wanted to do that? Its not hurting anyone?

You could probably find some hair paints or something at a Ricky's if you have those stores around your area.

Varine might have a good point, the sprays i've seen are for normal hair, but chance are it might work for wigs too. I've seen them at a few spots, like a 99cents store, party store would probably have some, but maybe try going to Walmart or Target. Extensions would be too expensive, and hard to find in time for the wanted colors. My cousin bought red extensions (it was pretty much a wig kind of) for about 50 dollars. It was almost two meters though :p and it said it was natural hair.

I didn't like it. And it's bad for your head. And since I'm paying for her house and college she owes me. Although she probably does it anyway since I don't live with her anymore and can't yell at her about it.

Anyway, I don't know how long your hair is but I would say the easiest thing would probably be to just dye yours since wigs are usually made out of plastic and I doubt hairspray paint sticks to that very well, and if it does it'll get it all stuck together.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
