p4ntb0y Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Helmet I have started with the helmet. this is a lonewolf Helmet from CFO in the UK. I started to rough trim. I have done a quick test "put together".. the bottom opening is 18cm I am not sure it that matters.. The helmet is not symetrical the right side is slightly tapered inwards, looking at Starwarshelmets.com its looks about right. (Still unsure though) onto trimming the faceplate.. Here is where i like to get some input... how much plastic do I trim back? how do I get the correct line? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original helmet wasn't perfectly symmetrical, so you shouldn't need to force it to be. Finding the proper cut line is the toughest part of this helmet. The first thing to do is to try to get the L/R visor parts lined up with the dome portion of the helmet. I think your top cuts, above the cheeks, look ok. I would be very conservative with cutting the lower angle. You just have to do a little bit at a time, while rough fitting the face plate against the dome and visor halves. Remember also that the side seams for the closure don't need to be absolutely perfect -- there's plenty of screen caps where the faceplate wasn't "perfectly sealed" against the dome portion of the helmet.

p4ntb0y Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hi Guys, Thank you for the pointers! Yes these are resin printed on a Elegoo Mars. I think they are about $199 now I have updated since then to a Elegoo Saturn due to the bigger build plate. The prints took around 30 Mins I washed them in Isopro, dried and cured them in the sun. I think the cost was around $2-3 in resin. All printed default with water washable resin 0.05mm layers. Files were Mr Poopies I also printed Mr Poopies Blaster on my Saturn will upload pictures once I get chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4ntb0y Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 ok I masked up the faceplate and ready to start the first trim.. does this look ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4ntb0y Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Thermal Detonator This one is quite easy... I am not sure the end caps have enough concure on them.. I think i like to build the tube type andwrap it and then make some ,ore accurate clips, I do have access to a turret machine and amada press so maybe... If not I can ask for a qoute to get a few thousand made in china lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p4ntb0y Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Helmet ok trimmed a bit of the helmet.. what should be the rough estimate mesurement be for teh visor and faceplate currently mine is around 35mm Going to trim a little bit more so that the visor sits better. I take it i need to follow this line for the faceplate? I am trying to work on this everyday even if its a small bit good for my mental health. I literally been wearing a mask for nearly a year....... stay safe Tomorrow is going to be knees and forearms as I now have the right elastic.. 12mm and 25mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it i need to follow this line for the faceplate? A lot of folks use the dimensions on this old set of screen used helmet photos for their helmet dimensions. Helmet measurements can vary, based on the maker's helmet used, but the Lonewolf should be *reasonably* close to the original dimensions. I just checked my RS helmet and the space is also about 35mm, so I think you're in the proper ballpark. Yes, follow that line for the faceplate. Excellent progress so far. Nice work!

p4ntb0y Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Mr Poopies Blaster! So with my 3d printer Elegoo Saturn I printed Mr poopies blaster Blaster at home!.... I like Mr poopies blaster i have compared it to a real Single Scope and I found that it is about 5mm too long still an awesome file ! Now i spent the time learning blender and fusion I might 3d model it when i get time so for now its on the back burner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
