The neat thing about these tutorials is that you can mix them up for your personal build. For example, if I ever make an iron man helmet, I'd probably have a hinge system with a reed switch/magnet glove activation. Then, using info from the magnetic faceplate video, I'd interrupt the connections to the eyes with magnets, one on the jaw, and one on the faceplate, so that when the mask opens, the eyes turn off. These tutorials are so versatile it's actually insane.
@@Sepnetic Theres some on thingiverse and makerworld. Theres a high detailed mk 85 helmet on makerworld with inside details and everything it'll cost alot but its good. It have motorised so all you need is the motors. On thingiverse you can find the same model of mk 85 in this video.
I’m currently in the process of building a mk5 iron man helmet myself, and this video was SUPER helpful. Thank you for making videos like these, they are seriously amazing, and help so many people.
I just printed out the faceplate for my 12 year old sons Iron Man helmet. I'm going to be printing the helmet next, he asked me to motorize it. So this has come at the most convenient time.
Wonderful video! You cut the BS and get to the point and you show what's what. For quite a while I wanted to learn about servos but everytime I did a search on TH-cam the servos always have to work in conjunction with Arduino. And I was thinking WTF what did they do before Arduino was invented? And I surmised the easiest thing for me to do would be to get old school RC controller. One video this guy from Sweden talks about basic electronics for servos OMG! He actually started drawing diagrams and went to detail talking about all kinds of electronical stuff that only someone with electronics education with understand definitely not for a beginner. So thanks again young man I really appreciate your smarts and your every man way of explaining things. Though something occurred to me, with your method we don't really need a servo just a DC motor perhaps with a gearbox so I have some control of the speed, maybe not direction. Still wonderful message and I will do it your way!
The reason I still use the servo is for ease of install! It’s already encased and built. Also let’s you swap them out one day for actual programmed ones!
About minute 20 really spoke to me, Frank. I had been working on my first motorization ever yesterday and I stopped for the night at exactly where you said I would be frustrated and would stop for the night.
Finally getting into my first Ironman build. This is very very helpful. I found a different way to “finish” it. You should look into vinyl wrap for cars. You can get some insane mirror finish reds and golds and it didn’t take long for me to figure out how to do it.
I have to thank you for the motivation to start printing my oen helmet. This tutorial is just great. But beeing the dummie I' am... I printet the Mark 42 helmet, and I think it's not meant to motorise. But the helmet came out great following your steps of printing, prepare and paint. Thank you Frank ❤
I just got into this community and im loving it, I have only printed fun small things on m P1S.. Im going to attempt to start a full Cosplay and start with this helmet! Im so lost and nervous but im very excited!
You should have millones of subscribers, all this videos are gold for begginers and i only can say thsnk you... Still working like this because you are awesome!
Okay to hell with Batman. I am starting my Ironman suit. This alone is as mentally stimulating through tinkering as 3D printing itself. I am going to finish this in a 3-4 month's hopefully. Go to some children's hospitals.
Tip for anyone who is having a problem with torque on the servo arms. Print the arm old arm so you can use the attachment that came with your servo and glue it in.
Legit cannot wait for part 3 and 4!! :D This is the most helpful ironman helmet servo tutorial I have came across and it can really be applied to a number of helmets
This is all really confusing, but I think I'm going to give it a go. Gonna make a MK46 helmet, hopefully I'll be able to figure out where to put the wires comfortably and still have it work haha. Thanks for uploading such a detailed guide!
Dude you should make a master class or something because your explanations for all these complicated things to an inexperienced person are crystal clear and easy to digest.
I've had my printer for about two weeks and every single video you make is as if you had read my mind on what I want or need to do hahahah thank you for being of such great help
I love this. It really makes you realize and appreciate how much work goes into 3D Printed Cosplay. It is so much more than just sending a file to the printer.
Me watching the previous video about motorization: "Oh no, the motorization shown in the live streaming is for the previous Mks, I already started printing the Mk85 one :(" Frank: "Say no more." Very well explained btw, looking forward for the next guides!
I am making a mk 7 helmet and I might motorize. The food thing is I followed this video for a mk 85 helmet so now I know enough to motorize different helmets
If you print this using ABS...you don't need hot glue. Just brush acetone on both parts and they'll fuse permnantly. I don't print pla much anymore now that i made an enclosure. I prefer ABS so i can smooth the parts.
I know this is a whole year later, and is probably a dumb question, but are these parts able to work in PLA? I saw in the Cura preview it was being printed in generic PLA, but I’m not sure if pla would be able to handle the machinery, whit how brittle it is. I’ve been looking for a solid 20 mins for someone asking about filament
I'm going to start making a Grey Fox helmet from Metal Gear Solid and this is the exact video I've been looking for since there's nothing like this for that helmet. I might even have to use one of these kits for that helmet. Thanks for the video Frank!
I found it quite stressful when I motorised the helmet and I was not going to give it. After installing the servos, using the 3D printed hinges...and making sure everything successfully works....you bring out this tutorial lol. The steps are very close to how I’ve wired it all together. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This is awesome! Really wish I had this 2 years ago while I was motorizing my helmet. I made the mistake of using one big servo and it was a pain aligning everything perfectly to remove the wobble
Amazing tutorial! But I am unable to get my servos to a hard stop is there anything I can do to fix that? I am also using the A.L.I.S.H.A board from crashworks and I don’t have spare servos so I can’t use the 5 volt battery way to get the servos to a full stop Any help would be greatly appreciated!
There was really no reason to be nervous about this video. Remember that this has to do with talent. Some people would watch this and think it's too primitive. Others will find it very challenging. There are many ways this can be done. I thought this video was very helpful. Especially the info about the servos.
Congrats on the job and thanks for the help! My helmet when it opens, it also lights up the eyes, when it closes, the eyes blink, then it goes off and on again, could you help? Thanks!
Thinking of designing my own cyberpunk/futuristic helmet with an opening outer shell so that the top and two sides of the front open up think ill use the crashworks kit and modify it slightly to work and maybe even design my own hinges for the side panels this video helped alot Thank you!
Wow! You really make difficult things seem like something that I could attempt. I appreciate you saying that you would get frustrated sometimes so when I get that feeling I’ll know what to expect
Hey @Frankly Built, thank you for the useful video! How do i size the helmet right so that i can fit my head in the helmet with all of the motorization parts?
just used the mk46 motorization kit to do starboost and it works great. the only problem is that the helper arms don't go where youd'd think they would. This did help a lot tho!!
Frankly, sorry think I expressed myself badly. I wanted to ask you if the motorization system of the MK85 helmet could be used for Pepper Potts' MK49 Rescue?
Can you connect this to a wall outlet? Want to connect the whole suit to this but not use a battery that dies, would like an outlet that I can turn on and off with an Alexa.
Regarding the helper arms. you can print your facecover and mask with tiny numbers along the side, and then print numbers on the round buttons like a dial, then when you mount the helperarms you can see on the numbers where you put it and store the information, this wil save you time on the next one, and when you know the position you can then print the new helmet with the buttons inlcuded and a click on helper arm ;-) This will save you some time in the long run.
Hi great video im watching your mark 39 starboost build could you put a link to each video on the previous video as they are not in order on your TH-cam channel and I can't find them all 👍
could you do the same thing with two bracket arms in a Z liek shape ( with oen of the end of the Z removed, that way it lifts out, up, and tilts it all back)
i need help so the servo dont go in resverse they go forward but when i swap the red wire over to the black to reverse to test to see if the servo will go backwards it doents work.
hi! thank you a lot for your videos, thanks to you I have my own iron man motorized helmet!! I already have a problem with my servos, until today I was opening the faceplate with just one servo (MG996R) and everything works fine. I update the system with 2 servos (MG90S) and now the code don't work with these ones, the servos doesn't move, they do some electric sounds but doesn't move at all. I checked the servos with a simple code and works ok. I never changed the original code, just for adjust the angles. What could be the problem? maybe this new servos doesn't works with variation speed or something??
Paint pens to mark the helper arms and those round pucks in their place would be extremely helpful. Mark the first one after using the alignment tool, when its orientated and in the right spot, then you wont lose that spot. You can then orient the 2nd puck and mark when its perfect.
I know a billion of people have said it but man these tutorials are so insanely applicable. You rule, dude.

Well thank you so much for that pal!
Actually, install hinges. And actually ... And actually microcontrollers.
@@FranklyBuiltdo you know of any good free iron man helmet files that you can motorize

@Sepnetic seriously, any of the iron man helmets are good that are split into 3 main pieces like the jaw, helmet, and mask
dude, you're legit the best. and you don't brush over anything! you explain everything in full detail and make it super easy to follow. thanks man
I’m currently in the process of building a mk5 iron man helmet myself, and this video was SUPER helpful.

@@FranklyBuilt you have the best guide for 3d builds. Very detailed, engaging and really knowledgeable
Thanks my man!
Better start investing
This is so true 💯

I love the new intro!! Love all your vids and CAN NOT wait to watch all the series!!
i REALLY want to wear this suit! amazing job!

Dude you should make a master class or something because your explanations for all these complicated things to an inexperienced person are crystal clear and easy to digest.
Tip for the helper arms ( 20:10 ): You can use double sided tape for the helper arm’s circles, so you dont have to hold it with your hand.
I cant wait for parts 2 and 3 keep it up bro
Really appreciate the helper arm alignment. I was trying to do this months ago with no luck
Helper arm explanation is ON POINT !!!!
Awesome men! Been waiting for this. Will look after for part 2
great video and so much help was able to finally get all the pieces I need to get this helmet working
I've had my printer for about two weeks and every single video you make is as if you had read my mind on what I want or need to do hahahah thank you for being of such great help
Legend!!!
Getting into fan art 3D printing thanks to you... Learning a lot, keep on 🙌🏼🙌🏼☄️
Just motorized my first helmet! Thank you so much frank!
Dude, U are doing the work a 15 yr old kid couldnt imagine, kudos to u
but can you please give me the link for the hex head screws, ty sm
I love this. It really makes you realize and appreciate how much work goes into 3D Printed Cosplay. It is so much more than just sending a file to the printer.
Thank you very much! I could only finish my helmet after watching yours awesome tutorials! This one in specific is the most helpful I've ever seen!
Thanks bud.. just printed my first 85.. this is really great stuff..
IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH
Sorry I too so long. It was scary to film lol
New year New intro new Frank 👍👍
ive seen these iron man helmets before and think theyre DOPE but never really thought i could do it... until now...
I'm making an Ironman helmet for my airsoft games, I didn't know I needed this until now! Haha, thanks and great videos!
This is awesome instead of doing iron man I think I’m gonna make war machine. Thank you for these amazing tutorials
Me watching the previous video about motorization: "Oh no, the motorization shown in the live streaming is for the previous Mks, I already started printing the Mk85 one :("

How do you get your servos to work off off the usb battery pack? I bought the same kind and a battery pack and touch the wires and nothing happens??
I am making a mk 7 helmet and I might motorize. The food thing is I followed this video for a mk 85 helmet so now I know enough to motorize different helmets

Thanks!
You did an awesome job explaining this, I've wanted and tried to do this for years, with you help I think I finally can do it for good
Which way do you orient the helper arm mounts? do you attach the arm to the slanted side or the flat side?
Thinking of designing my own cyberpunk/futuristic helmet with an opening outer shell so that the top and two sides of the front open up think ill use the crashworks kit and modify it slightly to work and maybe even design my own hinges for the side panels this video helped alot Thank you!

bloody legend man. always out there to help every cosplayer. well done. love your work keep it up!
thanks again from a fellow cosplayer!
Bro thanks so much
Camera quality is really good!
hey man, I was wondering if you could link the place to buy the hexhead screw kit if u can't thats okay i was just wondering
Nice work! I used the Crash Works kit now to successfully motorize the MK85 and War Machine Infinity War helmets. Thanks!
You explain things well. I am enjoying your video's. Great job. Chris Githens
What size magnets did you use to connect the head to the chin
Wow! You really make difficult things seem like something that I could attempt. I appreciate you saying that you would get frustrated sometimes so when I get that feeling I’ll know what to expect
What would you recommend for supports on the motor box? Since the overhang is flat
Hey @Frankly Built, thank you for the useful video! How do i size the helmet right so that i can fit my head in the helmet with all of the motorization parts?
hey im new to make iron man helmets and i wanted some advises on what should i put my bed heat to and nozzel
Hey Frank, the vid is excellent as always. Fully intend on giving it a go and motorise a lid.
Thank you so much. Just started my MK39 and this will make it pop.
Amazing video man..keep it up! I subscribed your channel
the explanation was very good, thanks!
this is gonna be awesome...thanks Frank

i have ?
these servos need to be 360 or 180 to 90 ?🤨
Can you connect this to a wall outlet? Want to connect the whole suit to this but not use a battery that dies, would like an outlet that I can turn on and off with an Alexa.
Do you have a video on how you installed the servos and brackets on Walshes new Mark 85?
This was super helpful. I'll be using that crash works kit to motorized my Mk 7 helmet
Random question: think this kit could work for getting a large creature mouth to open? Awesome video and helmet!!
Greetings from Turkey
Quick question, are you able to manually do it instead of using electronics
Great video frank thanks for sharing 💜
Regarding the helper arms. you can print your facecover and mask with tiny numbers along the side, and then print numbers on the round buttons like a dial, then when you mount the helperarms you can see on the numbers where you put it and store the information, this wil save you time on the next one, and when you know the position you can then print the new helmet with the buttons inlcuded and a click on helper arm ;-) This will save you some time in the long run.
Wow just wow you did great job on this video. 😊 always nervous about using servos about wire part and Hotwire it.👍👍 you are the iron man
Hi great video im watching your mark 39 starboost build could you put a link to each video on the previous video as they are not in order on your TH-cam channel and I can't find them all 👍
Thanks so much for your time, effort and explanations.🙏
Where do you get your Led eyes from? Are the pre-bent or do you heat them to bend them ?
Well done tutorial for something that always confounded me.
Quick question! My servo needs to have a hard stop right? I just bought some but they dont have a hard stop
could you do the same thing with two bracket arms in a Z liek shape ( with oen of the end of the Z removed, that way it lifts out, up, and tilts it all back)
Have you thought about ball joints on the helper arms?
i need help so the servo dont go in resverse they go forward but when i swap the red wire over to the black to reverse to test to see if the servo will go backwards it doents work.
Been struggling to find one that works for war machine mark 3/4 please help 🙏
