this is the updated lower crown disc, some probably won’t see the difference from the first design but I can see how much better it looks, I will clean it up and prime it tomorrow, then I will get some drawings made up from the design and look for a machinist who could make this delicate piece
 
This is the updated lower crown disc with a splash of silver
Never mind the top disc that will be aluminium, I only printed it for reference
Very happy with the look of it now

Did an upgrade of my collar screw
The original one I had didn’t have the crisscross knurling
So I designed one In fusion 360 and put it on the printer (over 2 years ago the results didn't blow me away so I left it alone )
Now that I have resin printers I gave it a little refining and resin printed it

I then gave a thin layer of primer and a quick flash of metallic silver
Oh and I did 4 for luck

Looking forward to see more progress.
So am I
I’m just a little nervous with cutting my helmet in 2
Just got to finish the filling round the top dome to the rear and more sanding down
Then I will cut it in 2 and remove the old tubes ready for the new ones

Will You be making them available for purchase?
 
What IS this from? It LOOKS Like a sink drain? But what type? Please let us all know! :D
Never of a sink drain, or any plumbing device, I’ve been a plumber for 36 years and never seen anything like this, it has a resemblance of a plug/drainage grill but I can assure you it isn’t

Ok... Then WHAT IS IT? What's if from or used for?
 
Anything I make for my own I can duplicate for a small run but only when I’m satisfied with them
Ok Cool! I would love one for my Collar. I have an Original Airflow Collar and I would like to get one of these?
How much would you charge?

Joe
