Hey guys! So for my 3D printing class our final is to make a project in an area that we want to learn more about, and me wanting to get into props and making, I decided to design and print Grenade Face's helmet from The Force Awakens. I asked Dutch Props for some help and he provided a TON of reference material that helped so much in make the model. Big thanks to him! So I've got the model and designed it around a 3D scan of my head to get proportions and dimensions off of that. The final model turned out really well, and I don't know if it's 100% screen accurate, but I think it's pretty good!! I tested out a lot of new methods for me when it came to designing the model and learned so much.
So for my school project, to save on time and material, I'm making the model at 50% scale. All of the pieces are being printed on my Ultimaker 3 Extended out of PLA material (note: the last two pieces will be in black PLA due to me running out of silver [emoji16][emoji16])
The majority of parts were printed with PVA support material but I've run out for now and am waiting on Matterhackers to get stocked again so I can get my 2 spools that I ordered... When the printer was released. It's been amazing printing with that support material.
Anyways guys!! Let me know what you think. I'm posting a lot of my progress on my instagram so if you want more frequent updates check me out on there. [emoji16]
The first image is of the near completed 3D model, missing a few details, but it's the basic idea. Designed in Rhinoceros.
The first full print is of the helmet at 25% scale and low quality so I can get a feel of the helmet in person and see if there needs to be any changes.
