  1. For ABS paste.. you'll need: - Glass Jar, baby food glass jar should do fine - ABS Scrap.. cut to small pieces - I use Acetone.. be carefull the fume, its Nasty. Use Respirator and in a well ventilated area. - a small wooden stick, i use ice cream wooden stick to mixed cut the ABS scrap to small pieces put it in to a glass jar... be sure none of the dirt in the scrap. i use acetone to melt the ABS... take one or two tea spoon acetone( i just eye balling itπŸ˜…) close the jar.. wait 20 minute then mixed/stirring the ABS.. If you can see some ABS still not melt strirring it again.. put a bit Acetone if needed and if the mixed is too liquid, put some more ABS scrap and mixed it...and wait again.. need a consistency like a toothpaste and its done. Store it when not in use... after a while ABS paste can be too thick.. just use a bit Acetone again..mixed it well. Hope that help. Γ—sorry if my english is all over the placeπŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ™πŸΌ

  6. Continued with Chin cup and strap. Bend the 2mm ABS plate Using a heat gun. The Chin cup base are from MLC helmet. MLC chincup are big, so i cut to size Front side i use 1mm ABS plate, power glue+baking soda and some ABS paste. Then put the black elastic strap I manually drilled for the elastic strap... Sanded.. For Paint i use Samurai Paint White 102 and Samurai Primer Putty (KP1***) I use the primer KP1*** and spot putty because the helmet have many scratch and tiny inperfection/tiny holes from my build. But you could use a standart primer for paint Test fit 🀘🏼🀘🏼😁 2cm sponge.. i use TK template 🀦😁
  7. The Helmet side.. Since i moded the KS build with add some 'return edge' for the visor.. i have to add not one ...but three... Three... 3(1mm) and and one... 1(2mm) ABS plate Aaa..aaa...aa.. Glued with power glue and (again) Eppo putty. Ooh, before i drilled, i make sure that the visor+faceplate are in open position.. make sure that both R/L visor hole are straight... Honestly i just eye balling it.... its dificult at first... and second...third... the fourth,.. anywaaay. If you managed ..mark it..then drilled.
  8. For Bolt i change the 3D print with similar size flat head bolt.. glued with super glue and some eppo putty.. As you can see, the bolt not flushed wiyh the visor.. so i using a heat gun from the back side of visor..then i pushed the bolt down. I made several ..just incase i made a mistakes..😁 The Helmet... From inside view... Aligned the Faceplate with the Visor, also the curvature the top of the faceplate+visor.. clamp it or use a strong magnet ... adjust a bit.. marked with pencil.. be sure that Left and Right side are the same From inside view
