Try motorising the helmet. Any chance that you will share the helmet 3d print file?? I want to make one tooOnly one part left to go. The upside is that it looks great! The downside is that because the pieces overlapped in the 3D file, I'm having to trim a lot to make the faceplate fit

I had to trim the faceplate edge a lot, and remove all the interior support junk so I could have it fit roughly. It's still not perfect and has large gaps between sections. I plan on uploading the 3d print files later but in the meantime here's what the helmet will roughly look like. If you go the route I have.

First test fit. It fits!

I've also been loitering. I've got no experience with unfolding, but I'd be willing to give it a try. I'm desperate for a pep of this suit, so far I've been (sort-of) freehanding it. I won't lie to you, it's not going well!ok i have been watching this thread since the start and now i get my present BUT looks like your link to the 3d print file are not working or locked to only you
and due to the high poly count in the pdo it would be close to imposible to unfold in the app
if you could place a link to a obj file i can give it a try to drop the poly count I am trained in the z-brush program these files where created in and might be able to tweek a low poly out of the super high versioln we have (i would normally do this my self exporting from the pdo but it seems you have exported a locked pdo as well )
if the security on these files is on purpose sorry for the miss understanding
i hope my offer and advice have gone over well i would love to see a few of these helmets out there yours is sweet
Hi Ironbat, the PDO needs to be worked and unfolded.. even then there are some overlaps that simply don't translate well into Pepakura. I'll try posting the link here in the next hour or so.

Update. I have just uploaded the 3D print files for the helmet.
***FYI and WARNING*** there are some overlapping issues with this file. It isn't perfect. I had to do a lot of trimming to get things to fit, and it will take me some work to get it looking right once I have time to use some bondo and such.
