This time the filament unraveled from the spool and got caught on the spool holder and snapped. Another wasted print :facepalm

Don't let it get you down, brother! These things happen often. I like to think there's no such thing as a wasted print, and that there's always something to learn when things didn't go right.
Wish I was printing this as well, but I've got most of my stuff packed up for moving day, maybe soon. Can't wait to see your finished prints Kevin!
Don't you worry, right back on the horse!
I had to get all MacGyver on this... Lemonade!
Hopefully my "custom made filament shield" gets the job done! :lol

Hey Helagak, I wanted to say thank you for posting the 3D files and all the hard work you put into this project, what you have created is pretty incredible. But I'm curious about head size. I want to get a snug fit. Would you suggest resizing before printing? Or do you think foam padding and/or small adjustments for a "normal" size head should get the job done?

A rough estimate of the inside, side to side measurement is about 7". This seems about right for MY head. But I know heads come in all shapes and sizes. That's why the zip includes a "full helmet low poly for sizing" file. This is so you can get the scale you need from that file and then apply that scale to the rest of the parts.
Chugging along!
Probably about 50% to go

Are you building yours with flaps on? If you are, I would recommend gluing on the inside. I suppose it won't matter if you bondo and whatnot, but it helps if you just leave it as card. Also, I'll post what's been keeping me away so long tomorrow. It involves iron man and graphics design. Bye for now
Wow, thank you for posting those files (especially with the parts already separated)! Your model looks wonderful. I will definitely be giving the build a go myself as well
I'll glue the main parts together and smooth everything out with filler. I should be finished printing in the next couple of days!

I wish I could glue on the inside, but it is hard enough to get the numbers to match up looking right at them let alone from the inside. hahaAre you building yours with flaps on?

What do you mean with flaps on?

Hey all, I'm working on getting those gun files ready. Just wanted to throw this out there. I found these on Amazon. I can't find the dimensions. But they look pretty spot on and they fire darts too! With a quick paint job, you could have a pair of star lord guns much easier than 3d printing them. (this is the route I'm gonna go.) =P
