Hey guys I printed out the foam vs2 unfold and didn't change anything to the scale.
So far testing the cardstock on my face it looks like this.
Is it too large for me? the ear piece is where my ear is so that seems to line up properly. But the side piece looks to be closer to the front then it should...unless it's supposed to be like that? I'm 5'10 and my head size seems to be about 23" circumference.
for foam, what do you do bout those little lines some of the pieces in the pdo file? do you still need to draw them in and cut on the foam?
I guess you can always use some foam for padding inside if it's a little too big?
Too big is better than too small - especially if you want to put any lights in it. Mine fits my head so closely that I don't have room for electronics! Also remember that you will lose a bit of inside space because the foam is thicker than the paper. I'd suggest finishing at least part of the front piece and seeing how much extra space you've got at that point.
Question bout foam.
I'm at Canadian tire looking at the roll of foam here and it looks to be thinner than 6mm.
Would that work fine for a starlord helmet?

What kind of foam is it? Is it floor mat foam, or camping mat foam? The camping mat stuff is probably too squishy - you need something pretty firm. Given that, as long as it can support its own weight you should be fine. 2mm craft foam isn't strong enough for a full helmet build (though you can use it for detail work), but 4mm and up should be fine.
Hey @Helagak,
I spent 4-5 hours restructuring parts of the model to fit my head better. Any objection if I release my modified files with obvious credits given? I'm reprinting my helmet now, but hopefully it'll fit a little more humanely than the default one did.
It's best step anti-fatigue fun foam floor. Looks to be about 5-6mm so I think I'm good.
Thanks!
