Summary

Remix (sort of) of the helmet model posted by davypenn02. I modeled this in blender using davypenn02's model as reference. I wanted a helmet that was slightly more screen accurate than the other wearables I've seen out there plus, I want to learn to model printable cosplay pieces and this seemed like an easy one to start with. Others I have found are either missing details, were too thick, or not high enough resolution. I did not add the weld beads around the tubes and fin as I thought this would be easier to add in post processing with epoxy putty or even hot glue. It is meant to be wearable but may need to be scaled to fit. It was designed to print the main helmet as one piece on a CR-10, and the fin in 2 pieces (although I included a full fin as well). Also included is a plug file of the left lens. It is meant to be a form to vacuform a lens on top of to fit in the helmet. It is for the left eye so you will have to mirror it for the right eye. This is a work in progress because I have not printed and assembled one yet. I have sliced it in S3D to make sure that all pieces sliced ok. This is my first finished helmet file so let me know what you think. Happy printing!

Edit: The helmet is still not screen accurate but getting closer. The two biggest differences, in my opinion, are the fin and the tubing on the sides. The fin should be much thinner. It couldn't be printed as thin as it should be and not break easily, but it could be a bit thinner for this model. A quick fix would be to scale it down on the one axis (x I think) before printing it. You would have a bigger gap in the helmet and would need to shim it and fill it with bondo or something, but weld beading would easily cover it. The other issue is that the tubes (or piping, or whatever) on the sides are too round. They should be slightly flattened. This could currently be achieved by sanding them down after printing. You would then probably have to fill in holes in the exposed infill depending on how much you sanded them down and how many walls you printed. I will try to make these adjustments in the actual model but may not get to it for a while. I've got a couple other projects I want to finish first, including the jet pack.

Update: No longer listing this as a work in progress since other people and I have successfully printed the helmet. Came out great! Will post pics of final build when complete.
