New Martian helmet model and build
- Thread starter Empiricus
- Start date
As many are asking. The stls will be made available soon, I am just very busy in the moment given these crazy times. I can't take on any commissions right now for that reason also.
All was printed in Atomic gun metal gray PETG. I prefer PETG for props as it is easier to post process and more flexible compared to PLA. Wet sanding to 800 or 1000 grid gives a nice surface for primers. PLA can be polished super smooth for a great feel, but requires three times more labor as it is much harder. Unless you enjoy the polishing by itself that is, which is an entirely acceptable past time of course.
