Well I can buy 4 Creality for one of the others, my son has an Ender 3 still stick no issues, and I've been following a Creality group so not to concerned about problems. They all have issues if your a noob. I appreciate the input. I've seen lots of good and bad with them all. I have a pretty good handle what everyone has problems with and all the upgrades are personal preference.
I believe it's like any hobby you start slow and see where you go.

Absolutely i just don't want to buy the wrong thing or something that isn't going to meet my needs

I'm Trying to get into this but I'm a complete noob when it comes to 3d printing. Ultimately I'd like something that would be sufficient to build a full suit with

I'd join some Facebook groups and watch YouTube videos...that's how I've learned so much in a short time.
I've only been building cosplay for less than a year, but I see a huge potential for commissions. Plus a whole lot more.

I fully understand, but I know guys running 4 CR-10 machines and have no problems, and its get good reviews, but they are as good as those reviewing I do understand that also. Plus they have a decent size build area for the price point.

They have problems. Normal wear and tear. All I’m saying is if you’re going to spend $500-700 on a printer, spend a little more on something you’re going to have to do little too.

I agree what would be the average cost of material to build a 1/1 scale helmet

Depending on the filament you buy and what country you’re in on average $36 usd. About 2 rolls. I buy eSun Pla + for $18/ea.

That's not bad how long would the print time take?

Depending on the helmet. Some I’ve printed have been 3 days others 6 days.

Oh wow that runs continuously?

Yup. This Deathstroke Skull took 5 days.

Well the CR10 is like 349.00 so still under that 500.00 threshold. I have to budget, a Cadillac is not needed when a Honda will do the job for me...so to speak.

I wouldn't think of it like that, more or less future-proofing yourself. Just my $0.02 on it is all, I've been printing for about 5 years now and at this point the less I tinker with the machine the more time I have to make my dreams come true!

Print turned out well. I’m happy with the end results of Do3D’s helmet file. Now I’m off to smooth this piece out, paint it, and add electronics!

Keep in mind that the lower lift is a part of the faceplate, not the main helmet

It looks a bit small will that fit a adult? Do thease files usually have built in mounts on the other side that you can mount hinges or servos to?
