In this video i will cover the methods and materials i used to make some of my Iron Man Helmets have a magnetic removable faceplate!
It's a cool little effect if motorizing just isn't your thing or maybe space is limited
This method can also be used in a variety of other helmets and armour pieces! So get creative!

Just noticed the gauntlet pen holder, that's pretty cool.
Love how far your production values have come on in 3 years since you posted this! From a dude that enjoys what he’s doing in his bedroom (sounds dodgy, that…!😉) to what is to all intents and purposes a TV program!. Great job!👏👏
I used magnets like that in my original pepakura Iron Man helmet 7 years ago, but i had to glue them in, line them up, etc. This is simply awesome how you use the rafts, heat them to better form the shape, weld them into the helmet, etc. Totally amazed (yet again) by your tutorial! Well done!!!!
This is an older video, but I'm making my first helmet, and this was incredibly helpful! Applying this same technique to the back panel of a batman helmet with a tiny neck hole.
Same here!
I've been using the neodymium magnets and I rough them up on one side with some sandpaper and use E6000 to glue them in and have good luck with that. of course I don't do 3D print but use EVA foam, so there's that.
Love it, really love how you respond to our questions etc but it’s amazing how much you answer and listen to your “Fans” thanks frankly built❤️
Thanks for the video! I put these magnets into my mark 3 helmet that I’m working on and it works like a charm!
You are a GENIUS sir! Your videos are so amazing and informative. From one Iron Man cosplayer to another, cheers mate! Well done!
Nice tutorial and good use of those purse magnets. Don't forget to wear a respirator when using that soldering iron to heat up and melt that plastic. You don't want to be breathing that.
Ha! You beat me to it..."YOU'RE" awesome! ;-) Thanks Frank!! Another fantastic tutorial!
Thank you for making this! I've been following as many of your tutorials as a can, though some a bit too late after I made the mistakes haha
Frank, what would
Be the best way to install earth magnets into a helmet with premade magnet holes ?
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Going to get a batch of these purse magnets. Will you be doing a faceplate hinge tutorial as well?
Eventually yeah
Excellent video. I don't have much wiggle room to work with so I'll be using the second idea with the neodymium magnets.
That is whole lot easier than I thought 😅 ...great vid
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Unrelated note, I love the palm armor as a supply holder. xD
Kuro Kurayami thanks! Haha it was a failed print
EXCELLENT video...wish I seen it before I tried my first helmet 😂 will definitely utilize this for rest of my armor build
this is awesome, gonna use this technique for my new dr doom mask!
thank you for your video has been of great help to me, you are a phenomenon!
As always, a fantastic video! Just finished printing the mk 85 and I'm following your tutorials on motorizing and adding LED eyes. Can you give some insight into specifically how you place the magnets on the jaw to attach to the head piece? I'm finding it tough to get it right. Tried using the 8mm holes that print with the helmet but that didn't align properly. Thanks again!
Thanks man for the great vid, this is really helpful in my armor build
Loveee ittt 🔥 this is just way too firee
Great video!! The helmet is so sick!
Hey, have you done a video on removing 3d print supports? Your content is very helpful! Thanks!!!
Working on a starboost helmet and maybe suit. Anyway, this will really help
Hy,iof i put magnets i can also put pieces to open and close the helmet?
I’m sure there’s a way you could, with massive tweaking to the design. Currently, the servos connect the faceplate to the head in order to open it, so unless you did something where you put on the electronics and the magnets, undid the servos and then pulled it off, it probably wouldn’t work.
i say just stick the magnets on the arms that the servos move.
Would it be practical to have this kind of helmet on a full suit? It would be pretty difficult to get enough grip on the faceplate to pull it off when you’re wearing the gauntlets I imagine, unless there’s another trick to it like even stronger magnets in the fingertips or something.
I'm making a helmet that wasn't 3D printed. Do you have any ideas on doing the LED wireless eye method to a helmet that uses a hinge/magnet combination?
Love your videos!
Thank you 😄this tutorial was really useful ✨
Don’t know if you still read these comments but what setting do I need to put my printer on to print rafts like you have made? I have a helmet that did not come with magnet spots and need to make some myself. Bambu P1S and bambu studios.
These videos are super helpful
I am new to doing helmets. How would you do magnets on the jaw plate? Is it the same method or is it different
That’s so cool.
do you think this technique applie to body armor connecting the front and back or would that not support movement?
what do you use for the eyes can never figure out what to use
Awesome tutorial thanks
Hi Frank, great video as always. Did you ever do a video on how to connect the pieces of a suite when wearing it? I've seen you using clips in other videos and was curious about the best process to hold it all together whilst walking around in it?
Yep! I have videos on it
@@FranklyBuilt I thought you did. Thanks for replying man. Hope all your latest stuff is going well and that you're doing good too. I'll go check out those vids shortly. I'm trying to build a mk85 iron man suit. So far I've done the top half minus the arms 😀
Another great tutorial, congratulations Frank, too bad I don't understand your language, what kind of material do you use to place the magnets and add them to the helmet by gluing them and shaping it with the heat?
Extra wasted raft material from printing
RAFT. It is a type of 3d print support option you can choose in your slicer.
may i ask what size magnets you used for the jaw? i’m having trouble finding them @franklybuilt
What lights do you use
Where can I get the file with the removable jaw on the black and white iron man helmet?
And every print I find including the one in the bio doesn’t allow me to snap the chin piece in. The piece with the chin that’s supposed to snap in is connected to the helmet
if you don't have a soldering iron, could you also use hot/super glue to make the connections?
How thick are your prints? I am trying to avoid the flimsy plastic look, and your thickness seems perfect.
Whatever stock Cura settings set it too haha
great instructional video. Do you have a link for the magnets?
are there alternative magnets? In my country they're weirdly hard to get
How do you vent the dank, burnt filament smell out of the office? 😂
he breathed it all up, so no lingering odor.
Brilliant
can this be bought of a certain website?
Building my first iron man helmet (Mk5). Not really a good spot to put magnets for the jaw like the Mk85. Do you recommend soldering it solid then cutting a different area to for better magnet placement? Currently the connection area is a smooth section
That may be a good idea yeah! Look into a foam cutting hot wire
@@FranklyBuilt never would have thought of that! Thanks (again!)
Whats the best way to print the face plate? I find the automatic rotation means the triangle points are the first thing to print, which keep getting knocked loose after they reach about 1inch high due to the surface are on the bed being too small
I have a video called “how to arrange 3D prints” and it’s about faceplates
Is this free model wearable?
love it
Question: Is 10-15% infill good to use soldering iron?
To my knowledge in sep3rate videos he says he uses 5% infill for the helmet so id say yes
@@TiltedVessel Thanks man! I've printed helmet few months ago, servos, lights etc are on but still need to paint it.
Thanks so much for the vid!!! Helped so much!
I a big fan I hope I win the contest
Another tutorial already? Looks like 3D printing and your videos might just make this quarantine better
I filmed 5 videos last night while I was waiting for filament lol
hi thats so cool
Hello I was just wondering how do you magnotise a jaw piece please do u add anything to put the magnets into thank you
What do you use for the inside liner for comfort? Having a hard time explaining to amazon what I need lol
How did you get your face plate so flush mine has so many gaps any ideas
great tutorial, can i just ask about the black and white helmet as it seems to be sliced different from the other one, is the stl available somewhere or is it one you adapted yourself, thank you
Yeah that’s a larger old helmet from thingiverse
What are those things called, that you stick the magnets on
Which version is the unpainted helmet? I really like that one, might do that one for an upcoming local con instead of my MK17 heartbreaker helmet I've been working on.
super late, but by any chance can this also be used with a motorized version of the helmet? or would the MG90's be too weak to detach the magnets?
How can you do it without the spare plastic
…make some? Or cut up some tendon debris
@@FranklyBuilt thanks love your vids!
How much it costs?(only 3d print filament)
Cool video! :D
Would it work if we only put one magnet in the middle?
Possibly
@@FranklyBuilt Hmm🤔
whata re these these types of magnets called? anyone?
also if you were to give me the link for that helmet how big would you say i have to print it also is there more pieces that you need so it can just sit on my head securely also for the rafts can i have a link to the thinner one that you used
I can’t tell you how big to print it. Everyone’s head is different. Check my scaling video for info on that.
@@FranklyBuilt thanks also i remember in one of your vids there was like a back Piece to the helmet so it stays oon more securly also would you recomend printing all the pieces separtly
How do you get the jaw piece to stay?
Magnets
Is that how you attache the jaw to the helmet?
Depends on the helmet
@@FranklyBuilt mk85 do3d was just going to glue it but saw one of yours uses magnets.
Hey man! Great work! Could you show your process for priming and painting the helmets?
Eventually yeah haha
i have a few questions so i only am going to print the helmet do you have a link to the helmet so i can print it do you also have a link for the raft things you were talking about also where did you get them magnets
INFINITY CORE check the links in the description. And a raft is..it’s a raft lol you print it in Cura. It’s not a thing it’s a setting lol
@@FranklyBuilt oh sorry i didn't know i am still pretty new to this
Research research research my man. You just popped of a dozen questions that could’ve been answered via google or reading lol make sure you look around first for answers. Other may not be so forgiving haha
@@FranklyBuilt well thats kinda why i asked you because google doesn't really do it for me and you know what your doing like my brain is wired to were i need things more specific
Where can you buy the magnets that you use in the video?
hi how do you conect your servo to your swich???
Wait for the tutorial
can you glue the magnets in instead?
Possibly. Wouldn’t recommend it tho.
Can I have the link for that cg trader helmet
Have you ever put like car wax on your helmets or prints to make them shinier? Or any tips to get them shinier besides clear coat
I wax them yeah but it still needs clearcoat before that
Hi frank! Do you have a tutorial for the magnetic Jaw?
No because it’s literally the same process.
Got it. I was just wondering if 2 magnets (one each side) are enough for supporting the jaw? Unlike the faceplate(which has a natural support on the jaw), i believe the jaw should kind of weight more..or this is not an issue?
Thank! You!!!!
Is this for sale i dont have 3d printer
Testing In Game no haha I’m sorry
What are those brackets? Like is there a file I could print to use
I made them with extra raft material
@@FranklyBuilt thank you, didn’t expect a reply from a vid over a year ago, needed to know for my helmet
I try to reply to everyone who asks haha
I'm having a hard time finding the magnets that he is using. Does anyone know what to call them?
What can I use instead of the rafts
Anything haha
Ok thanks 😁👍
I MISSED A GIVEAWAY BY 1 WEEK. NOOOOOOOOOO. Well... Next time I suppose. Can't wait for more!
I missed it by a year...
Making my first helmet and dang this vid is old 😂😂
Hey I'm a beginner to 3d printing and you've inspired me so much, but could someone tell me how to print a square piece of raft? I've searched everywhere....
Just add a raft to the base support in build plate adhesion.
@@FranklyBuilt uhhh... I don't know how to do that
@@FranklyBuilt could you maybe a video on how to do it?
Post up on the discord. The link is in my video description
@@FranklyBuilt thx so much
It seems so obvious now.
Am I too late for the giveaway 😂
Just missed it
@@FranklyBuilt dang it
I was about to say the same thing! I'm going to try and make this one.
Sick tutorial! Huge fan! Thanks for your help I've been learning a lot from you my dood 👍hope to get to your level one day! @_bigrob97
Another tutorial already? Looks like 3D printing and your videos might just make this quarantine better
