Re: foam with rondo+ new foam mark 8 glove and mark 6 boots
Hey Doc! I just did a test print for the helmet using Sharkhead v2.1 . Is there any numbers I need to change or is it just trial and error? I want the helmet to fit snug and not look to big! Thanks

What I do is use the "measure distance between two points" option in pepakura designer. So just measure say for example from top of your head to bottom of chin then use the measuring tool and point to the exact same area you just measured. It will save ya time from building until ya find right size. Hope that helps ya

To get to that option just right click on 2-D side and menu will pop up and its right at the bottom. just have to convert inches into mm which 1"= 25.4mm

Re: foam with rondo+ new foam mark 8 glove and mark 6 boots
Ok just did a measurement of the circumference of the helmet on file, and it looks like its about 27.84 inches. Now my head is 22.5 inches. If I'm doing a Fiberglas helmet with foam on the inside will this helmet be to big? If so, how do I scale it down? Thanks

I'm not sure. I'm all new to this! Is it just preference on the thickness off foam!

Ok thanks for all your help. I think I'm starting to get it. One mor quick question! Do I go into the parts layout to scale it down?

I think I got it. I just scaled it down 10 percent. From what I got it should be about 24.44". Thanks Doc!

Re: foam with rondo+ new foam mark 8 glove and mark 6 boots
lol thanks ultramantaro... you know what when I first started I thought the same way but I figured out the problem. It was I was trying to build fast and glue fast. But now I take my time to do nice clean cuts and glue seams together. So my advice is just slow things down when glueing press the pieces together n hold it till it grabs. Ya might think your going slow but trust me it'll save ya tons of time trying to fix it later. Goodluck
