Hi all,
I'm a little late to the discussion here, love the work!
I remembered that I took some shots of the helmet at the Arclight theater in Pasadena. Sorry that I couldn't get closer, and I only had my cellphone to take these shots, but hope they're helpful in some degree:

The Helmet was finished in 3d a while ago, FYI that's a promotional helmet made as a give away, not very accurate. Any progress on the Helmet builds from my 3d files?

I won that helmet. You're right it's not very accurate but it was still the most random thing I've ever won.

Here it looks like they also used standard flat screen printing on the darker honeycomb pattern and raised-ink printing on the light grey grippy parts.

Post photos of it, I am still interested in it's construction.
Guys im sorry to hijack this Thread but I felt I should let you know that the people that made this Suit for the Martian movie are actually taking part in the Biker scout helmet Project, so if can be of any assistance please just let me know and I do what I can for you

Here are the .STLS for the Computer files. I haven't had a chance to print then out in this final orientation. There have been some minor tweaks made from my first protos. But I feel confident putting these out. If you guys run into any problems printing it, let me know and I'll see if I can address it.

I quess not lol
A few of us have been in contact with them directly and gotten some questions answered already. Though there are limited on what they can say. Could you ask them if they have any source material / behind the scenes they are allowed to share?
Awesome, can't wait to try these too. My printer is not the greatest, but nothing some sanding can't fix. I do like that it is less prints now. Some of those super small ones were hard.
Edit: Printing left and right side now, hopefully comes out ok while I am gone.

Wow it looks great, what is it made of?

Carved out of styrofoam, then sheathed in plastic sheet.
I might have asked this already, but how did you do the silver honeycomb part? Looks pretty awesome.

Ah, that was an interesting problem. what I ended up doing was pressing aluminum foil into a hexagon vent screen while still supported by the screen I poured plasti dip across the back of the foil. once it set it supported the hexagon bumps, and basically made a flexible metallic sheet.
@Edmanrobot That is brilliant. Love the innovation there. Any example source for the vent screen? Might try that myself.
@sain The new files printed great. My printer always needs lots of sanding, really liking the improved combined version.
