Can You 3D Print a HELMET on a SMALL 3D Printer? | TUTORIAL |
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ค. 2024
- This is a SUPER common question across my social medias- and for good reason! 3D printing something that is larger than the printer itself can be a bit intimidating. I hope this video gives you the confidence to print large items on any size printer!

I have been waiting for a vid like this im making an mandalorian and iron man helmet
Same im doing a death trooper helmet for my son and I'm almost done about 2 prints left out of 14 parts , love watching these videos
Cool! Are you gonna make a video about it? I’ll watch it!
I hope it comes out good
Your lucky you have the courage to start this
@@KornPlaysGamesIt’s not about the courage to start, it’s about having the courage to deal with the unexpected. Nothing ever goes as planned.
THANK YOU! I'm extremely new to the hobby and I was struggling to find a proper tutorial for printing helmets on my Prusa Mini
Glad I could help!
@@FranklyBuilt hi
Big thanks to you for doing these videos, got my Ender 3 one week ago with intent on rebuilding my Predator costume with NO fiberglass, way to heavy. Your to the point, no bullship approach to teaching is perfect, thanks again!!
I'm alreaady a 3D-printing veteran, still had fun watching this. Keep up the great work!!!
I just started this Hobby with an Ender 3 Pro and thought I was limited to my prints; thank you for these videos and guides on using smaller printers, as I just printed my first Halo ODST helmet thanks to you. Please keep up these great videos for novices like me.
Hey, did you find a free ODST helmet file, or did you pay for one? either way can you point me in the right direction?
@@MikeJones-qc1juThe 405 forum should have everything you need
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY! I got a small 3d printer for christmas and was worried it was too small to print mandalorian armor, and now I'm gonna learn how with my small printer! Mainly using this video. I definitely subscribed to your channel!
Bro I just want to say, seeing what you've accomplished, I'm excited to see how my journey will be, I ordered an Ender 3 pro with everything already upgraded, just got my filament today, can't wait to learn this new hobby and make my own 3D projects come to life.
I just got my first 3d print- Ender 3. This video is amazing and just hit the point where I'm looking for.. Thanks bro 😊
Just got a 3d printer a couple of weeks ago and was inspired by your videos to start working on an Ironman Mk 3 helmet on my Mega Zero 2. Couple of large pieces left to go that I was thinking about cutting up into smaller parts to avoid the 12 or so hour build times all at once. Going to have to get that Mesh mixer tonight and start cutting. IF I manage to not mess up too badly on the sanding and painting and such, next project will need to be some Halo helmet for my son. At least that one will be scaled a fair bit smaller so hopefully less work on the cutting to fit the printer. I have a feeling the house is going to be chock full of various helmets, armor, and accessories in the coming years. I think I'm going to need more printers lol
Hey, thank you for this video! I just got my first ender 3 and was excited to get into printing, but was bummed because I thought it would be too small to really make some cool builds like this. Thank you for showing me what it can do, and inspiring me with a goal to get to!
Thank you so very much for taking the time and helping explain this in detail. And your prints are absolutely epic!
i have been wanting to ask you this on tiktok on just about all your videos.... you are a blessing to this community
Amazing tutorial! You just saved me from a major headache. Can’t wait to see your next one!
Exactly the kind of video I needed to see.
Getting into 3d printing for a few reasons, but one of the larger reasons was printing the helmet/cowl and some other pieces for the main character of a super hero series I am working on. Had been wondering how I was going to print it if I didn't have a super large, super expensive printer. Nice to know I can easily break it up.
Now the hard part of picking my first printer....
Get an ender 3 v2
@@Hellooooo378just got one to have a 2nd printer
@@SkunkLifeMedia nice
THANK YOU! YOU SAVED ME 24 HOURS OF TESTING RINCE AND REPEAT!
Great video, answered all the questions I was just beginning to search for, thank you.
Great job as always brother!!! I learn something new everytime
Thanks so much, thanks for the content and the tutorials. You are the creator that got me to buy my ender 3 pro and start learning it. I was just wondering how to weld two pieces (for an arcade coin door) and there is your video.. Thanks so much.
GREAT VIDEO BRO! PLA welding next level!
I'd love to see more on that gundam helmet and the potential cosplay to go with it if any. I've seen it in the background of a few videos and its got me excited on a potential build series for it.
Love the blooper reel at the end 🤣
I constantly come back to this video just to refresh my knowledge on how meshmixer functions
Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.
Awesome work very clever on the slices
Dude thank you found your channel like 2 weeks before getting my printer and just did my first cos play item for my gf so your guides and tips helped out alot
That is awesome! Happy to hear it!
just figured this so I can print a fill size Darth Revan Helmet, Thanks for the advice keep up the good work.😁👍
He is so well articulated and awesome at explaining stuff I saved so many videos of his to a Playlist!
Thank you!!
Thanks for this ☺️ I only just got my printer and have been trying to configure it for a helmet file I have 😁🙌
Thank you very much. You’re videos are amazing and so helpful.
This was great, I already when through learning this but the other videos weren't as clear and concise.
Glad it was helpful and thank you for the feedback!
Thank you so much for this! This is exactly what I needed. And you made it easy to follow, thanks.
I love your videos they help me out so much I can't thank you enough man
I love the fact you have so many printers now you can use them as props for intros haha
Thank You. This Tutorial is easy and i print in next days my mandalorian helmet. ^^
Im sure you get it alot but thank you for these videos. Extremely helpful to noobs like me.
Seriously, thank you!
Thank you so much man, this was SO helpful.
This was super helpful, you da man👍
Amazing video! super helpful been trying to find something like this for a long time thank you!
Happy to help! 🙂
Yeah his creations are amazing
I am doing a cosplay for megacon, and i am already getting a 3d printer(elegoo saturn 12k) for other reasons, so this video really helped.
Great helpful video! Loving the editing on the videos keep it up!
That’s mah wife
@@FranklyBuilt yeah I believe you said that in the last stream, she’s kicking ass man, let her know that for me will ya.
Thanks a ton for this video! I own an Ender 3 and have been wanting to print out Samus's helm for a while now, but just didn't have the space for a big boy printer.
Been wanting to do a barbuta knight helmet for a while now and this all helped out a lot!
Glad I could help! Good luck with your build!
This is a great tutorial 👌
I love you! Great tutorial
I found this video with that exact same Samus helmet printing. I cut it up in Ms 3d builder. Worked great. Should have created registration pins or something.
I dont even know how to thank you for this tutorial!
Thank u so much, rlly i love ur videos and what u make ♥️♥️
Great Video - Thank you for all you share!
Is there a way to cut along a profile - e.g. the curved section around the ear, is there a way to cut that curved piece as a part or is it limited to plane cuts.
Similar to the magic wand selection in photoshop allowing for irregular shapes to be selected easily?
thank you I had no idea how to do this and I love helmets.
Awesome video! Quick tip though, on cura, use the mirror tool. On a symmetrical helmet like Samus, you only have to export 1 half, saving room on your computer, and if you have one piece positioned great, you can just duplicate and mirror it, so you don't have to try and copy the positioning.
Good tip!
Thank you you've been a great help
This helped me a lot
Thank you for making this video, I just bought a Ender 3 Pro. I also bought the Classic Ironman file from Do3D. I think I can now get the helmet on my Ender.
Glad I could help!
Thanks a lot Dud.
I appreciate all of these videos, I'm trying to print armor with an ender 3 pro and, while it's been somewhat of a nightmare to troubleshoot sometimes, I feel like I can do it now!
Hi! I’m brand new to 3d printing and I’m debating which size printer to get (im between an ender or cr10) and I know that a lot of what I wanna print is larger pieces like helmets and armour stuff, so I’m wondering, if you could go back and redo it, would you still get a smaller printer or would you get a bigger one? I’m drawn to the ender because it seems like it’ll teach me a lot and the less space taken up the better but at the same time I’m worried the learning curve is too steep
@@lynn8313 learning curve is not bad at all, it’s quite simple. this 3D printer has taught me a lot about how printers work and how to maintain them and that’s important. above all, the important thing is practicing fusing stuff! if u put the time in sanding, fusing, etc, you’ll get much better products even with a small printer. you’re probably gonna have to fuse anyway even if you get a bigger printer
That was one high quality camera! And great mic too!
Thank you for the feedback!
Omg thank u . U helped me so much😁😆
Thanks, it was very good information.
Dude, you are literally one of the best teachers on TH-cam
Oh what! Thank you so much
This video is getting me through to my next printer. In the meantime I'll be doing spider man, Mando, Kylo Ren, Vader, iron man and a bunch more
I would love to see you do this with a Monoprice Select mini
WOW! You are definitely getting better at editing your videos!
That’s my wife 😅
@@FranklyBuilt Great job to her then on that 😂
🥰
I wonder if this method could be used to cut up Warframe tennogen models to make life sized suits similar to your Iron Man one. The only issue I've been running into when playing with the mesh of those models is they are mostly solid once you separate the shells for the head and torso. I want to make these into ball joint action figures but it would be way more awesome to do up a whole frame as a cosplay.
I never thought about using a soldering iron. I'm working on a Mandalorian Helmet and I might do this instead of using Epoxy and risk it sliding.
You should make a glowing green lantern ring and lantern, also a working omnitrix. Nobody's done those for some reason and as far as I can tell they are very simple to do but awesome
Well a working omnitrix is, well, rather hard to make as I don’t think we have access to technology that changes a human into an alien at will then can transform them back.
Lol, that Cartman "I do what I want" was golden xD
Awesome video thanks for all the advice, just wondering with a printer like an ender 3 v2 i feel with some of the parts you will need to leave it printing over night, just wonder is that how you do it or am i missing something, and do you think in that case of leaving it going it'll be fine?
hello frankly Built huge fan and you truly motivated me to use my Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer more!! just have a few questions and would love for your help.
Dang this guys channels a gold mine
This video is fantastic! How would I scale it to make sure it fits my head? Thanks!
Any tips if you want to do "dynamic" cuts. For example you want to cut out a something/ portion that has a pattern that you won't be able to combine without it being noticeable. But the edges of this patterned section might be rounded. Hope that makes sense. Is there a tool that allows for freedom to cut/slice anything?
Hi there. Awesome video.
May I ask how did yoou make that awesome Silver finish on the MK1 Helmet? What did you use to get that almost Chrome look. It looks Amazing
How is he not famous yet he's better than TH-camrs with 1mil
I use microsoft's 3D Builder to do exactly what is shown in the video, and i think it's much more user friendly AND it doesnt leave any remainig glitchy mashes!
would you replace this workflow these days with slicer cutting tools and consider the dowel/plug options for helping stick together?
Thanks for the vid Frank. What are your thoughts to put registration keys into the print to help for a better alignment. Have an old computer that doesn’t handle meshmixer well so I haven’t really dived into the software but really should. Prusaslicer handles most of my plane cutting needs.
Great, cuz I only have an Ender 3 and needed to print that glorious mk 5 helmet boxandloop just released
Great video, easy to follow
I understand the ways to weld / melt it all back together.
But Are there any ways to reinforce or strengthen the print? Like maybe fiberglass, or some kind of spray / resin?
Yes.
@@rockinHurley777 thank you, is that yes to there being a way? Or yes to the fiber glass being a valid option?
@@Mike0405H Both. Some use resin and UV lights. Some use epoxy, other use fiberglass. Really it depends on what u actually want to achieve.
@@rockinHurley777 wonderful response lol
@@nottoofast short and simple
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!
This Video free me from the chains of limited buildvolume🤣
Are you gonna do a garage check up soon
I love your videos. I am also a fan that you're a fellow Veteran. Is there an alternate program for cutting up files? It looks like the mesh mixer website is no longer functioning. I am working on a Blue Beetle costume for my son, this is my first time ever making a costume but he wants one so whatever I can do to make a memory and get a smile I'm down for. we are making the armor out of EVA foam to try and keep costs down but I am looking at getting a Neptune 3 Pro based on your comments on it. (wanted the plus but again saving money) cutting the files seems like the way to go but I can't get mesh mixer's website to work.
I guess I should add that we are trying to use the printer to print the Do3D blue beetle helmet but I don't want to buy a Neptune 3 pro if I can't make it work for the helmet.
Just printed an Ironman helmet on my Adventurer 3 and going to do try and weld it together! Great tips and how to!
Awesome! I have a video linked in the description box that goes more in-depth into how I PLA weld. Hope it helps!
amazing video. how did you make it so it filled in the edge of the cut? when i do it it just gets super glitchy and messed up.
Awesomeness
My printer is a 10cm by 10cm :/
I can’t even count that high
Greetings , Sir Frank.
I hope you're doing alright.
Can you kindly make a playlist on How to 3D Print and what are the essentials of 3D printing and what are the softwares?
Thank you for Reading.😀
I have a playlist literally for that already haha
@@FranklyBuilt Oh , I see it now , I really appreciate your reply , Sir Frank.
May God Bless you. Aameen!😁
Perfectly Frank! 😂
🤣
0:30 Id like to know what helmet that is on the right please. That looks so cool!
th-cam.com/video/09FOFzrjyDg/w-d-xo.html 🦇
First? I love your creations ^^
Please make the full taskmaster suit or even the helmet would do💛 plssss
Do you have a video how to add/edit helmets? Like if i want to remove something to add something different.
Hey I have a question, as of today
What is the 3d printer you would recommend for a beginner?
I know you have videos on the subject but I would want to know if anything have changed
Would you add connectors when splitting them?
Do you have any tutorials with Prusa slicer?
Would this work on a resin printer also? I just got a saturn 3 and loving it. I have been doing the blue beetle helmet from do3d that you showed but I can only do 65% scale of it
u r awesome...!!!!!
Video Idea: Can you make a war machine or iron patriot? those are some really cool suits same with the heart breaker too.
I do have to ask: is jet glue a good alternative? I'm really just curious, but if I ever printed something and didn't think I could weld it, would a jet glue work?
