Good news, and less-good news!
The less-good news, is that my printer has malfunctioned, and needs to be shipped back to NY for repairs. After only two days of owning it!But, it will be back in my possession in about 2 weeks hopefully.
The good news, is that I'm making good progress on my helmet, and the mask and opening mechanism will soon follow in suit.
pretty cool helmet. Whose 3D model is that?

Thanks!
NOOOO!!! We cant wait 2 weeks!!!
I know - me too!
Thanks! I designed it completely from scratch actually. I printed out a pep model to reference for size and proportion, and then just used some screenshots to capture the detail.

Any thoughts into this technology? NeuroSky? NeuroSky - Brainwave Sensors for Everybody For under $100 seems like a thought (no pun intended)... here is an article linking it to a arduino: arduino_tutorial [NeuroSky Developer - Wiki][]=arduino

Yeah! I've seen that! Not the link to Arduino - that may just swing my vote! I was looking at using the Emotiv Epoc, but this seems to have already had the legwork done for me! Thanks a lot!

looking at the printing dimensions of the replicator2, it doesnt seem like you can print a complete whole helmet. so are you gonna break the helmet down into sections, print in sections, then glue afterwards?
seems like you would have to do this for most everything else, unless youre a midget.

Ha ha, you are very observant! No, I won't be printing my suit on the Replicator 2. I'm going to have it done at a place like Shapeways or something similar that's local. However, the Replicator 2 gives me the ability to test the smaller mechanisms within the suit, before I spend the money on the professional quality final pieces.

LOL .... this made me laugh-out-loud FOR REAL !!!NOOOO!!! We cant wait 2 weeks!!!
Even with the relative "instant gratification" with developments like 3D Printing,
we STILL want it NOW NOW NOW !!!
(I'm no different)

Using which 3D modeling program, might I ask?Thanks! I designed it completely from scratch actually. I printed out a pep model to reference for size and proportion, and then just used some screenshots to capture the detail.

Ha ha, thanks buddy - I'm pretty stoked about the idea too.
Yep - if patience is a virtue, then there are very few virtuous people left!
And, I use Autodesk Inventor for all of my 3D modelling. I'd never used a CAD program before, but I taught myself this one in 2 days time. It's pretty amazing actually. Solidworks would have been another great choice as well.

Me too! And, the arrival of these wonderful 4 PCBs that I designed brings me one giant step closer to making it a reality!
Top Left: Triangular Element Board
Top Right: Eye PCB (will be cut into 3 separate pieces)
Bottom Left: Hip Pod with Flares and Walking SFX
Bottom Right: Repulsor 2.0... We'll see!
Props goes out to xl97 for pointing me in the right direction for these boards!

YAY ! I cant wait till we can make those custom eyes for my helmets buddy!!!

Yep! Updates on those soon! In the mean time, here is the completed exterior of the helmet!
Now I can finally start working on the mechanism to lift that faceplate!
