xlnt addition, thank youHi all,
Here's my first STL contribution. It's not exactly a prop replica, but still relevant.
I know at least a few of us picked up the $12.00 helmet stands from GameStop a while back before they sold out. This is a 2" extension to make the stand taller, for taller helmets like Vader.

Here are pics of my new Jazwares helmet on the stand, first without the extension then with the extension. Notice without the extension how the neck rests on the base of the stand.

With the extension installed:

I printed at .2 resolution (no need for fine detail), 100% infill.
What does the actual stand look like ? I could Design something similar with a few pics and measurementsHi all,

Here's the stand. Someone has already created a "very close" model available on cults3D.What does the actual stand look like ? I could Design something similar with a few pics and measurements
How do I get this model 3D printed? If that even is recommendedView attachment 1874557 View attachment 1874558

Yeah sucks too. Know if there’s a repository where all the designs went before closing? I didn’t have a printer when they were operating but I’d love to go through the old library now. Even just for ideas for future projects.Shapeways.com is out of business. They used to do 3D printing. I don't know who's left to recommend. You can Google "3D printing service" or maybe someone else will recommend.
It offers contact information if you have IMDBPro, which unfortunately is not me.a quick IMDb search
Where can one watch this ?I just watched another course on Stan Winston School... I feel a bit dazed
Modern Miniature Effects Part 1: Project Planning & Acquiring 3D Models
I am not easily overwhelmed by tech or new gadgets and I don't stand in awe over most techniques, though I will give kudos to creative solutions and will openly praise true craftsmanship and skill. That said, I am a bit "bird hitting window" at the moment. I swear I just blinked and the 3d printing world went straight to replicator without asking my approval. Fon Davis was demoing four printers they have in their shop. They can print in cmyk without the need for sanding after (or very little, very very little) Fully finished sculptures with voids, in cmyk color (as though it were already painted with just touch up left). They can print in flexible materials... meaning, they can print the actual skins to put over animatronic skeletons (also printed), in color, so, no need for final painting or very little. They printed a human mask in a rubber compound that was completely flexible.
They did not mention this but in all honesty, this eliminates the sculptor, the prosthetic departments, most of the fab shop, the painters and leaves only the makeup department applying the final print to the actor. Scan the actor, size the target computer captured character face to the actor, negate one from the other and you have a prosthetic disguise mask, ready to print with correct color. You could use anime/cgi, a real world person or an aged rendition, younger or older or even just added weight, as the intended mask. None of this did he mention but it is all right there, ready to run, in the room he is standing in while giving the lesson. The actual lesson was about an octopus and a boat but you don't show a flexible printed prosthetic mask without dropping Alice down the rabbit hole of possibilities. I am completely stunned.
