3d Printable Vader Helmet File

[jnsbanman]

I am looking for an stl or obj file for a Darth vader helmet that is print ready... I have found several other helmets ready for printing but not Vader.

Any help is appreciated

So i guess the answer is no...

So my next question is, would someone be interested in helping me finish a 3d printable vader helmet?

I have the OBJ files but I am not a 3d modeller so I am not sure how to make sure they are ready for 3d printing (stl)

I think it's a great idea. Is the OBJ based on anyone else's work - be it a laserscan off someone's helmet, or someone's already-existing 3D model? The reason I ask is that we still need to protect people's tremendous work investments, otherwise it runs against the culture of The RPF. In many cases, if it's an OBJ that someone released into the public domain, it shouldn't be hard to track that person down and ask if they ever did a 3D printable version, or ask them if it's okay to do so. However, if the artist wanted to only share it as-is and you turn it into a business beyond their original intentions, you can see the reactions of RPFers in other threads whether or not they feel it's a good thing.

I exported the the pdo from pepakura designer to OBJ... I have been tinkering with the obj file a bit. It is not 100% accurate as it is missing the ridging on the nose and I am unsure how to add that in properly.

I think it is Fierfek's pep originally. I have no problem at all giving credit to Fierfek for the design. The original file came from a thread on here actually.

Personally I just want to make a vader costume.

 

[jnsbanman]

Actually no it is not Fierfek's file... I have no idea who it is. I would prefer fierfeks as it looks pretty darn accurate. Does someone have a copy of that pep file they could send me.

EDIT - the file that gets download is not the same as displayed... weird

 

[jnsbanman]

Just figured out who's file I was using... It is Juvito from the RPF here. I PMd him for permission to modify the file for 3d printing.

If you get the go ahead I would like to help making it 3d print ready. I am pretty good with blender. I think I can help with some of the parts. Just send me a pm or a link to the file.

 

[jnsbanman]

I am hoping to hear back pretty quickly. Not sure how active these people are on this forum anymore.

Obi Wan check your pms

A STL file library would be a great addition to this site

Also agree.

So would the dome be removable on this?
Diggin your work so far.

 

[jnsbanman]

That is my intention... unless I can fit it over my head with it fixed.

 

[SpiritOfMaul]

looking good!!

 

[CSMacLaren]

Looking good! Has a nice ROTS look to it!

 

[jnsbanman]

It was an ROTS pep... But its missing the nose ridges. Who would like to add them for me?

 

[jnsbanman]

And lastly the shin guards.
