First helmet
Got it printed after a couple fails and problems and saw someone recommend just cutting a tinted face shield for the visor and that worked perfect. Gonna start sanding today

Got some great progress on my vembracers last night. Got them painted and wired them up and they're glowing great.
(FIRST OF ALL, sorry about the double post, my other account is busted)
A fellow reddit jockey on this page said they’d like to see my take on a Heavy Mando helmet. I was gonna make something akin to Paz Vizsla’s helmet with sharp lines and harsh rigidity. But who wants something that’s already been done?
It’s taken a few months after a bit of a sabbatical but here’s my (nearly finished) WIP for a set of unnamed Heavy Mando variants. The first one features sharp, arcing lines from the cheeks that come to a formidable point down at the bottom of the mandibles. Atop the front of the dome is a reinforced blast shield, meant to protect the wearer from even the most heinous of impacts. The bucket consists of a 7 degree angle from the dome. The plane above the visor boasts a very subtle curve outwards, imitating a low-browed predatory gaze from the intentionally narrow eye visor slit. There is a rebreathing pod at the back of the bucket that will print independently. Likewise, the band that attaches to the earcaps is entirely separate, and will feature strong magnets so that other visor accessories can be attached in their place - just in case a particularly difficult target needs requires specialty equipment (those accessories are coming soon).
The second variant is identical to the first in all but one way. The cheeks feature secondary angles that are meant to sharpen the mandibles with subtle curves and less rigid geometry, meant to pay homage to the skull of the mythosaur.
Both helmets will be test printed once I’ve finalized the designs (I’ll post photos on this page) and then the raw buckets and digital files will be available on my Etsy page.
One thing I’m quite terrible at is the naming process! I would be glad for any ideas! Drop em in the comments or DM me. Thanks for looking!
Looks to be a good starting point, but has anyone used it?
I’m an old fart, and built my kit long before 3D printers were a household thing.
I enjoyed the process of building from flat pieces of plastic; cutting, gluing, sanding, and swearing.
I know the armour is only a small part of an overall kit, but almost all of what I see now is 3D printed “whatever you want”.
Does anyone else still enjoy the constraint of the limitations of your available tools and material?
For context, my kids have a 3D printer so I have access if wanted, and also, I love seeing ANY build regardless of how it’s made, as long as the builder loves it. I.e. this is not a hate thread.

Has anyone gone to Space Dive before and know the rules? I want to go as a podracer and designed this shirt. I was going to weather it a bit. My friend seems adamant that I will not be let in because it would have printed text and looks like a logo.
