Thank you! I’ve never personally used any kind of 3D print coating, but for a few of the helmets I got on well using spray filler primer. It’s basically a thick layer of spray paint that is a bit chalky and sandable to get rid of print lines. It gives a good coat to spray paint onto aswell. But it won’t fill large gaps like joint lines unfortunately.

@@J.watkins_01 thanks for that. Yes when I bought the helmet I didn't know I had to spend extra AU $100.00 for this resin like coating. Apparently it makes the sanding easier and gives smooth finish. It's a two part you mix and pour on to a flat foil hand made tray that gives the XTC about 14 minutes before it dries up. I'll have to try and find that spray you used. I hope it's available here in Australia..👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

Almost anything yes haha. I print with the standard PLA plastic, but there are lots of different materials nowadays (abs, petg, carbon fibre, wood etc). PLA isn’t expensive either. About £15 a roll. Cost of printers have come down in recent years. Can buy a decent printer for about £250/300 now!

@J.watkins_01 Great thanks. I couldn't buy it if I really wanted to. I'm not in the money unfortunately....for me.☹️😣👍🇭🇲🦘✌️👋

Thank you! And did u mean *palm sander? Haha. But yes, it would be very helpful!

Printer is the Anet A8. And Thingiverse will have similar files.

As stated in the description, the designer has removed the files.

@@J.watkins_01 - Can you upload yours some where? Hopefully you still have them?

As said in the video description…. The designer has removed the files and the are now unavailable for download. These aren’t my files so I cannot provide them to anyone. Sorry.

@@J.watkins_01 no probs all good thanks

You will see in the description that they are now unavailable. Sorry.

Do you still have the file? can you upload it somewhere?

Thanks! :)

Thanks! appreciate it!

Do you still have the file? can you upload it somewhere?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot! :)))

Thanks!

Hey! If the creator has removed the files, it’s probably not a good idea to share the files externally as it would probably be a breach of their copyright :( sorry mate

@@J.watkins_01 its alright man, i already got the files somewhere else

​@@ilikejazz8070can you tell me where you got the files

please slide the link@@ilikejazz8070

The bolts for the hinge are part of the file. Also 3D printed :)

Haha love this! Files are available here! halocostuming.fandom.com/wiki/Pepakura_File_Index Hope this helps!

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks!

Great job btw looks amazing

I believe the file creator took them down :/ Sorry about that. Thanks for the nice feedback! Glad you like it :)

Files have been taken down

Thanks a lot! For filament, I used whatever was cheapest on Ebay! Haha

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

I try to scale it as best I can in meshmixer with a model head that fits my measurements :)

Haha thanks a lot Dave! I hear that a lot about me and Andy to be honest. Haha.

I use a 50/50 epoxy resin glue, I usually use Areldite or a cheaper alternative. Super glue also works, but id recommend strengthening the inside with with fibreglass.

@@J.watkins_01 thank you 🙏

Thanks! New video coming soon!

@@J.watkins_01 ooo I better subscribe to see more!

Thanks! :) A new project is underway.....

Do you still have the file? can you upload it somewhere?

The hinge was designed in the files as 3d printed pivot points. I just needed to put it together!

@@J.watkins_01 Thank you

do you still have the files? theyre no longer on thingiverse

Hey! Sorry I didn’t see your comment! Hope you managed to sort this out in the end! :)

Hi! If the creator has removed the files from thingiverse, I’m unsure if it would be a breach of copyright to share the files out. Sorry :/

@@J.watkins_01 any idea where to find them legally? Can’t find a model where the visor isn’t attached to the face. They’re all so poorly done but your files looked proper

There are some still on thingiverse like this one: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3262805 That kinda what you’re looking for?

Some of the smaller pieces I printed with as little as 15% infill to save filament, but you can pretty much print as dense as you want. Bear in mind that the print will be weaker, but you can make the walls of the print thicker to make it stronger aswell!

@@J.watkins_01 ok thank you!!

I used meshmixer and imported a head model and adjusted proportions to the size of my head. Then scaled the helmet up or down to fit. :)

Thanks for the input! I'll definitely look into it!

Thanks a lot! :) Will be making more when I get my 3d printer back from uni!

Thanks! Padding would need to be added, but this wouldn't take too much effort. Padding is something I need to add to some other of my helmets aswell.

Cool hope that your channel takes off you've got some good content and cool builds keep it up😁

Thanks Alot! I will be posting videos again at some point. But I am in my final year of university, so I don't have the time or my kit with me at the moment. Stay tuned tho, there will be videos coming! Haha
