Ironman Helmet hinge with Video Demo

wow that servo is tiny. Pretty sweet can't wait to see this working.

yes it is tiny.

So I talked to Smooth-on and found a yet better material. So I orded it got it in today and as far is even stronger then the resin 320.. nothing wrong with the 320. just looking whats out there. So I did a cast. but takes hours to set.... so I will update after its all set and ready.....

is it from the TASK line?

that's supposed to be one of their strongest resins I think.

Loving this thread so far... consider it subscribed to

Give that man a golden Star in fact it is TASK...
I did a few test mold and looking good.. I just not liking the wait on demold time.. but now waiting on black tint..

Also waiting on electronics to get here..

Thanks again to all for your support.... Questions

So Working on Servo holder:

That's so cool lol

I can never get over how technical and well-informed the majority of you all here on the RPF are. Keep up the great work. I like your philosophy of being OPEN about your build. Good Job!!

No Problem So got the Microcontroller ordered and flashed getting the stuff to put it all together then will be adding it to the Servo..

Mockle, if you aren't going to use Arduino, then this controller is a great way to go. It is made by Hyperdyne and allows for servo + LED control

visor goes up > eye LEDs go off
visor goes down > eye LEDs go on

Hi Phil lol

We we're just talking about this on msn.

[FONT=Times New Roman]Absolutely this is a way to go I have looked asked all about the [/FONT][FONT=Verdana]Arduino[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]. Got the same results no sharing or over priced to DIY, There’s no doubt it will be open off / close on power in eyes, I’m building the PCB myself. Pretty simple once it’s done. Ill Demonstrate it..[/FONT]

I have to say TASK from Smooth-on is some great stuff. I feel its much stronger, But I have not had time to abuse the 320 or TASK yet

Got some odds and ends in today still more to come...

OK so a update. Working in the prototype microprocessor build should i hope have it powered up this weekend will see then on to building the servo into the helmet...

Mockle, this is some awesome work that ya doing here it's all comin together now. Btw finally got around ta viewing ya video on YouTube wouldn't ya know it unable ta watch in mobile I'd really like ta see what th' others have!!!! Anyways keep up th' good work bra.

Thanks drilling cutting all the fun stuff right now... to bad you should look at it.. its crazy how smooth it opens and closes.. I had to make a few adjustment, and will show that later... but it all still works the same..

So took some time. wired up the microprocessor.. Did a quick video to see it working off of DC 4.9V will be getting a battery pack 5V DC to add to it..

Servo movie can adjust slow down.. worrks for me so far..

adding servo to helmet then will be connecting wire to hinge power up see how goes.. this weekend..

ok So far so good did a really rough video showing servo pulling mask..

I'm liking this Nice work Mockle! nice and sharp shutting action there, seems very smooth.

Also enjoying this! !

Not knocking your build or design, and I'm no Iron Man expert! But it seems to me that the faceplate needs more rotation. This would expose more of the face....

Perhaps this could be done by attatching the pull cord closer to the fulcrum of the lever??? Not an engineer either

Seems like a common sense way to solve that issue.

I'm following this thread with a lot of interest, it is simply amazing what you can do wen you actually understand what you're doing

I have the hinge system ready myself, almost identical to yours, but was still trying to figure out how to motorize it... I can´t wait to see your project complete.

Keep up the good (excellent) work...

Thanks all great comments:

Like I said lol a rough test seeing where to go from there.. have a few Ideas to throw at it..

burnt out today lmao.. So will see what will play out later
