Forgive my ignorance, but what did they do?

The next step will be lots of sanding and bondo. I also need to find a fix for the visor section above the mask. I can't print the visor as one part (my print volume is only 205x205x210 mm) and the points that attach the mask to the rear helmet are to long to easily disconnect for painting. What...

It's been a while got busy at towards finals at school but finally found time to work on the helmet. Red definitely printed better than white. Printed each at .2 mm layer height, 65 mm/s for white, and 50 mm/s for red. White had 25% infill (because i'm an idiot) and red had 15%. Fully...

I was in a bit of a hurry and printed it at 0.2 mm layer height and 65 mm/s print speed. I could have printed it at 0.1 or 0.15 but while I'm at school I only have access to my printer when i'm at home on the week ends. The mask has smoothed out with sanding. I plan on getting some body filler...

I'm using an Anycubic I3 Mega. It's a reasonably sized printer but not big enough to print the full mask as one part.

Hi, all I've been working on building a 3d printed scout trooper helmet! I thought id make a thread documenting my build. It took 22 hours and 52 minutes to print the front face mask, it was printed in two parts and glued together with CA glue. The visor has already been printed, but wont be...

Hey guys, sorry its been a while since my last update. Got busy with school stuff and haven't had time for much else. For all who are interested below is a link to where i originally found the biker scout helmet I've been working on. (The file is downloaded as a pdf and will need to be renamed...

Update (With a bunch of pictures!): I'm happy to announce iv'e finished the first coat of bondo and painted it in a primer/filler! I still have some work to do on the back half of the helmet, namely fixing up the brow and smoothing out the areas around the ears. This being said I have...

Another quick update: I finally started seeing good results with the bondo today! This has definitely been a learning process but i'm finally getting a handle on bondo. That being said i still have a fair amount of work to do on the back half of the helmet, and i still have the whole front of...
