Hey Frank, great video. One correction for you though, in method 1 you chose the third measurement box. That will measure from the outside of the wall of the helmet to the other outside of the wall of the helmet which means you're getting the wall thickness in the measurement too. You should choose the second measurement type for an inside measurement. Method #2 is fire!
This tutorial is really helpful. A while ago I printed my first helmet, it was Paz Vizsla's... But it was huge, it fit completely loose. Fortunately, someone wanted it to have it on display, so I didn't waste time or material, I painted it and sold it to them. Then I had another custom made with the ring test that fit me like a glove.
Hey Frank! I spoke to you today at Makers Central at the NEC around lunchtime (I think you were just heading out for a sandwich). I have watched this now and it makes TOTAL SENSE. Thank you for taking the time out to go through this in person and explaining it to me, I appreciate your help and love your videos! Thanks!!!!!!!!
I don't know what I like more a out your channel... The things I learn and take away from the videos or seeing some of the cool things you've printed and finished! Awesome work man, thank you for your content and keep it up!
Started printing my first helmet a day before watching this video. I was however expecting it the be the wrong size. Good practise for a newbe like me anyways. Alot of good tips here, now I know alot more than i did before watching. Easy sub.
The tumb nail was beautiful!! So simple yet so elegant!! I also think that the iPhone photography course had really helped you because I've noticed a huge difference so good on you!!
I’ve only been printing a few months and was so afraid I couldn’t print without those giant printers, I’m downloading mesh mixer as I type this and gunna rewatch and test a few ways out, thank you so much Frank
Your videos have motivated me into getting a 3D printer soon (CR-10s pro v2) Instead of Ironman I want to make a Warmachine suit. I’ll use what I’ve learned from your channel and hopefully document my journey too. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for this guide. I have been trying to make a helmet for a while now and I have wasted a lot of filament on parts of the the helmet that I made good small. I knew that I had seen this before so when I remembered that you had made this video this was the first place I came. Thank You! : )
Thanks a lot for making this guide! Scaling helmets has been a challenge for me so far and this has really given me a lot of options I didn’t even consider before! I was however making my own callipers out of folded up lengths of paper and a ruler but this all seems a bit more accurate than that 😂
I was about to skip but you were so convincing I watched the sponsor as well. Joke aside, your videos has shinned a light on my new hobby and I haven't been this excited about creating anything in a very long time. Ty for you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks so much man, I wanted to make a clone trooper helmet but wasn't very confident and didn't know how but now I'm feeling more confident and know how to do it so thanks
Great video as always! Scaling is very much needed but when you have to scale and there are servo mounts and moving parts that are not also scaled, the work becomes much more difficult. Great work once again
Funny you should post this video this week as I just did the calipers and test ring methods this week to scale a Captain Rex helmet for my big noggin. The methods work.
I have made an iron man helmet now and i love it. I have always wanted to have an iron man helmet and now I do. Thanks frank so much for everything you have done
Love this, before I got a 3d printer I had a local guy make me my Batman Beyond helmet and I had to go around to do some measurements after the first print was huge. Managed to get the second one completed but it's awkward to get my head in so I'm going to attempt to do it again but more like your awesome Ironman ones 🤩
This has so much valuable info, thanks for making it. I'm making my first helmet and I'm just kinda printing and hoping if it doesn't work I'm glad I have this video to fall back on for the next one
I am thinking about getting a 3d printer. Still researching, the main things I want to 3d print are Star Wars helmets, this would help me out to learn how to scale, but I was also wondering about how much filament roles does it take to make 1 helmet, and also what 3d printer would be the best for printing helmets and in price range?
0:39 Oh, boy. Here we go... 0:44 -__________________- Fiiiiiiiiiiiiine... 4:16 From outer edge to outer edge. Sure. 4:24 If you were to choose the second option where the line crosses the smallest gap between the two circles in MeshMixer, you can see the width of the cavity inside the helmet. As of right now, I get the measurements of my head and others by measuring it with a tape measure first, get the measurements around the nose, around the crown of the head and jawline, and finally, around the neck since I'm working on Power Ranger Helmets. After that I divide them all by pii to get the diameter for each one.
You are a real lifesaver for me. I am looking forward to buying a ender 3 v2 or something and i didnt exactly know how to scale and print helmets and armour pieces.
I Plan on starting a Prowler helmet, and maybe glove, from the new Across the Spider-Verse movie. These videos really help since Halloween is right around the corner
Hey Frank can you show us how you go about resizing with the slicing method? The only way I can think of is take a helmet scale it down, save, then open in meshmixer, slice print. Then if thats still to big/or small go back resize helmet again, save, open again in meshmixer slice, save print. Seems like there must be a way in meshmixer to be able to scale it in program. I am new to this so If there is could ya point it out? Thanks man.
I really do wish I had watched this video. Before I started anything I had tried to print a helmet for the print to fail a quarter into it to see the helmet wouldn't have fitted as expected and scaled it up and it was too big for my head. I could always add padding to it but honestly it doesn't look practical at all but still could be a cool display prop.
Thank you for the test ring method. I was able to use this while building a halo reach armor set and I was able to get all the parts to fit me without looking to big or small
I just picked up my 3d printer and was trying to figure out how to make a helmet. This video was perfect to find and I cannot wait to try this out. Thank you so much, subscribed
I just saw this and think this is great!! I kinda like the idea of using my iPhone to scan my head to get a really accurate scale of my head. With so many 3D scanning apps available would you be able to recommend an app??
One question about this is: both methods 1 and 2 are for measures, but method 3 looks, for me, more about if the helmet will adapt to my head, rather than the measures I mean, the scanner will respect real life measures or just get a on scale double of the head?
This video is so helpful! And not only that, the link for the Sam Alexander, Nova helmet, is just what I've been looking for! (Sorry Richard Rider, Sam's helmet is better)
Hey man, hope your doing well. Quick question: fokoos Odin 5 f3 or creality ended 3 with upgrades, as a first printer. I want to learn the hobby but don’t wanna tackle issues early on. Thanks for the great content, keep it up and I’m sure you’ll reach a million soon!
This is going to help sooooo many people
I hope so man! I tried to hit all the marks

12:00 The scan of one's head is awesome.
THANK YOU FOR THIS, before this video, I got my head stuck inside one of my helmet, and I heard this (STEP BRO IM HOME!) Uh oh. 😂
Oh no haha
@@FranklyBuilt i was wondering if I could hire you to print something for me
@@MikeJTWhite Sorty mate, he ain't gonna do it
Hahahah, made me laugh, thanks
Frank can I hire to do simple 3d print of my head only. Please let me know. Thank you
I don't know what I like more a out your channel... The things I learn and take away from the videos or seeing some of the cool things you've printed and finished! Awesome work man, thank you for your content and keep it up!
In case you notice this comment I want to say that your videos have given me an amazing idea of what to print and how to print it
That’s awesome!
Started printing my first helmet a day before watching this video. I was however expecting it the be the wrong size. Good practise for a newbe like me anyways.
Alot of good tips here, now I know alot more than i did before watching. Easy sub.

Thank you so much! My wife did a killer job on this one haha
Awe thank you Noah! 🥰
I’ve only been printing a few months and was so afraid I couldn’t print without those giant printers, I’m downloading mesh mixer as I type this and gunna rewatch and test a few ways out, thank you so much Frank
I was looking at one of your older vids and I gotta say I almost feel like you have an editor now cause the quality just keeps going up
My wife edits a lot of my videos now but we both have learned so much and work harder on production quality
Dude...........I thought I knew how to scale prints. I learned 8 new things today. THANK YOU!!!!
Hahaha no way
Thank you so much for making this video! This will help so many people.
Your videos have motivated me into getting a 3D printer soon (CR-10s pro v2) Instead of Ironman I want to make a Warmachine suit. I’ll use what I’ve learned from your channel and hopefully document my journey too. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
No problem at all!
Not going to lie. This could be the most useful video I have watched in the entire time Iv been printing. Thank you.
This guy is generally just a genius i dont care what anyone says. Keep up the work Frank!!
Thank you so much for this guide. I have been trying to make a helmet for a while now and I have wasted a lot of filament on parts of the the helmet that I made good small. I knew that I had seen this before so when I remembered that you had made this video this was the first place I came. Thank You! : )
About to purchase a 3d printer with saved up money these are great tips I’ll be prepared when I start printing now
Thanks a lot for making this guide! Scaling helmets has been a challenge for me so far and this has really given me a lot of options I didn’t even consider before! I was however making my own callipers out of folded up lengths of paper and a ruler but this all seems a bit more accurate than that 😂
Hey it works if you take your time!
I'm new to the hobby this really helps.
Oh man, I could have used this video before I started my Mando build. But, I appreciate the information you put out there regardless!
SWEET I so want to try all of your tips out! I love how concise your explanations are. Every helmet is always huge for me 😭
I do my best haha
I was about to skip but you were so convincing I watched the sponsor as well.
Joke aside, your videos has shinned a light on my new hobby and I haven't been this excited about creating anything in a very long time. Ty for you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks so much man, I wanted to make a clone trooper helmet but wasn't very confident and didn't know how but now I'm feeling more confident and know how to do it so thanks
Great videos I learned more in your video in 2 minutes than I have in weeks on sites reading stuff. Super helpful Thanks!!!
My buddy did a 3d scan of his head, made it into an STL, and just-manually checks if his “head” fits in helmets.
Great video as always! Scaling is very much needed but when you have to scale and there are servo mounts and moving parts that are not also scaled, the work becomes much more difficult. Great work once again
I have a HUGE Mandalorian Armorer's helmet because I didn't know any of these tricks. I plan to finish it eventually to use as wall art ☺
Funny you should post this video this week as I just did the calipers and test ring methods this week to scale a Captain Rex helmet for my big noggin. The methods work.
man, i was looking for this for so long, thank u bro, u're one of the best in this content
I have made an iron man helmet now and i love it. I have always wanted to have an iron man helmet and now I do. Thanks frank so much for everything you have done
i feel like an expert now and ive never even printed a helmet! thank you for so much information!!
Great video! I did the Revopoint POP method and it works perfectly! Oh, and nice to see the new Frankly Reviewed channel!
This is just what I needed. Thanks. Hope I can make a Halo helmet soon.
I just bought a CR 10 pro V2 and these are amazing tips on how to size
The tiara style measuring ring is such a great tip! Thanks!
Definitely very helpful info! Also, congrats on the sponsored video.
Thank you!
Love this, before I got a 3d printer I had a local guy make me my Batman Beyond helmet and I had to go around to do some measurements after the first print was huge. Managed to get the second one completed but it's awkward to get my head in so I'm going to attempt to do it again but more like your awesome Ironman ones 🤩
Man, I can't wait to get my printer up and running. Your videos have been a real inspiration. My big goal is a full Cyborg Ninja cosplay.
I love the super villain chair spin intro to the Skillshare ad
😎
Dude thank you so much i was so scared to print my first helmet and find a good software for this thank you so much!!!
And you go into detail i love it
Thank you so much for this video! I'm excited to fire up my printers once again and start deep diving into fabrication.
The head scanning i just did and it worked for a robin mask. I am trying it on my mask now. I am excited. The rim print worked
Omg thank you so much, with all your recent tutorials this is just the perfect timing for 3d beginners to start printing! 🔥🤝
Glad I found this while I was planning my first helmet. Much appreciated.
7:00 The ring cut helps a lot.
thank you so much for the timestamp!! ❤❤i hope your pillow is cold on both sides
Such a helpful video! Scaled my mask perfectly to my face first print because of your video!
Thank you! Now I really want to start printing 😊
Awesome video Frank thanx for making the guide. Im working on my first suit now and this helped alot :D
- How do you make sure your helmet fits?
- Measure your head and helmet.
Lifechanging tip.
If only people understood it as simple haha
14:28 words of wisdom bro 100 percent factual.
I’m struggling right now with a Wolverine helmet 😩 but watching your videos are definitely helping!
Awesome video, I've been thinking about printing a Mando helmet, but I was worried that it wouldn't fit, this helps a lot. Thanks!
Such a helpful video! Thanks for sharing these with us king!🥰🏆
Thank you!
Now this is a video I’ve been waiting for
thank you very much for sharing this knowledge with all of us a big hug from spain frank
U could also use a vernier
So much easier now with the measurement tool in Prusaslicer! (added since this video was made)
Thanks I was hoping you would do a video for this items . 😎💪
This has so much valuable info, thanks for making it. I'm making my first helmet and I'm just kinda printing and hoping if it doesn't work I'm glad I have this video to fall back on for the next one
And thanks for the inspiration. Always learning from you.
Amazing tips, I have done the test rings a few times now, Its so so good.
I am thinking about getting a 3d printer.

them spray jobs are cool
This video is helpful for me when Im fine tune my ender 3 pro
0:39 Oh, boy. Here we go...
0:44 -__________________- Fiiiiiiiiiiiiine...
4:16 From outer edge to outer edge. Sure.

Please make a specific video on how to print mark 85 helmet with dimentions , perfect size and how to measure its size
That’s a very specific video lol just use this video to scale it
You are a real lifesaver for me. I am looking forward to buying a ender 3 v2 or something and i didnt exactly know how to scale and print helmets and armour pieces.
I Plan on starting a Prowler helmet, and maybe glove, from the new Across the Spider-Verse movie. These videos really help since Halloween is right around the corner

Wild haha
Nice helpful episode.

this video came to me right on time
Thank you! This is so helpful
Hey Frank you inspired me to 3d print so when I get my 3d printer I want to print a iron man Mark 42 suit
Awesome video! Thank you so much! Def need to check out the LIDAR on my Iphone I never thought of that.

Highly recommend the Longer LK4 Pro! Frank has reviewed the LK5 Pro and it's exactly the same parts, just 220mm instead of 300mm
This was incredible helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing these tips! I had I hard time scaling my iron man helmet and printed multiple faceplates before I got it scaled properly.
Hope this helps!
Hi Mate
Do you happen to do a tutorial on how to use meshmixer
I'm excited to see that green goblin helmet when it's finished!
Thanks so much for this video I've been needing this exact advice!
Thank its realy helping my out with 3d printes
Thanks for this video I just printed a jango fett helmet and I printed it to small this helped a lot thanks
