episode 7 star trooper helmet 3d printed and then casted

[xkuco]

I know everyone is waiting for the official photos, but I'm not waiting. With the information we have (two photos) I think we can produce some type of product. I know one person made it out of metal already. I have already started 3d printing and taping together to make sure it all fits then I will start plastic welding. I will keep you guys updated. I am also looking to make a mold of the piece to produce multiple helmets. Should be a fun project. I already over 20 hours of printing and almost done.

Nice, excited to see the finished product!

If you haven't, you should definitely check out the two threads in the Project Runs section (one by Animefan and one by Ozy.) Perhaps you can use those as further reference.

I'm using a flash forge pro and here is an update. i think its going to be an alright helmet. i will have a lot of cleaning up to do but final result will look great. i love detail work.
