/ iliketomakestuff - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Now I’m just picturing Boba in his ship doing all this detailed taping and painting as soon as he gets the armor back.
Now we know why there are chips in the brand new paint job, lol; he was rushing so his masking tape took off some of the semi-wet paint as he went. ;-)
he probably used a machine to do it hence why the dents arent painted in
😂😂😂
The only difference is boba uses beskar
Bro got the Beskar 3D printer
You did such an amazing job painting those helmets! Great job Bob! =D
Surprised you didn't mention your registration holes & finishing nails trick for smaller pieces.
@@hazonku ýý
Ahh, Bob. Just a simple maker trying (and succeeding) to make his way in the galaxy.
Like my father before me.
Hahaha. Love this
@@Iliketomakestuff This is the Way
@@nathandc this is the way
Bob this is so damn cool. I love this
100th like
This is the way!
This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way
“Convention”
This is the way.
Bob, this is the first time I have completed a project before you! I was so excited to see you do this and even more pleased that you and I had literally the exact same process - right down to making a custom helmet at the same time for your son (in my case, my daughter, who requested a pink and purple one with unicorns and hearts). I chalk the similarity in our processes up to how much I have watched you on your channel over the past couple of years and what I have learned from you. Keep up the great work!
I know this is an old comment, but the pink and purple unicorn Mandalorian sounds freaking amazing; I hope you took some pictures, because I'm betting it turned out fantastic.
@@erin.anderson Her costume ended up being pink, purple, and silver. My daughter changed her mind about the unicorns once she saw all of the armour together. We might put some stickers on it at some point though! If I knew how to put a pic up on here I would, it turned out pretty awesome!
Oh heck yes! Craziness
I like more the one you made !!
Both are awesome. I lie seeing the different ways to do a project
That moment when you realize Uncle Jessy subscribes to I Like to Make Stuff 😂 👍
Stupidity it is
Great job on the buckets! If there's one thing I could recommend, it's to think about some foam padding for the inside of the helmet so that it sits a bit higher on your head and doesn't wobble and twist around when you turn. Awesome stuff!
I love the idea of using the leftover silicone as a mixing pad. For really small amounts I like to use the bottom of one of those tiny paper cups, works great and keeps it all contained
I’ve been using my left over silicone for mixing for years. Works great for paint, bondo, pretty much anything. They also work good for holding pins, or any sharp pointy tools.
I learned so much new things here. Prusaslicer for dividing an stl, acrylic putty for smoothing a print, the thin tape for masking etc. Really nice to be able to learn from your experience!
This is Soo helpful, I've been working on a Din Djarin helmet I 3d printed not too long ago and so far your tips have worked like a charm! This is the way!
As a helmet builder myself, this is by far the best tutorial I have seen on the process. Great video, will be sharing to other foundlings. Oya!
Hi, where do you get your files from?
you are a super cool dad.
my father was the same way
when I was a little boy
I hope your children know how lucky they are.
thank you for being who you are 👍😁
A bit late to your show but I am glad I found this. I was just commissioned to make an entire set of mando armor and was looking for a video exactly like this one. Major props!
They turned out so awesome! Glazing putty is a new one for me; I'll definitely have to check that out.
This project is just the thing I needed to get inspired to finish making my 3D printer from scratch. Thanks Bob! (Also, Mannequin Head Bob was so patient throughout this whole build.)
1:19 the Get hands dirty mug! :D that's sooo cool!!
Such a cool project. Seeing what you do with a 3D printer really helps highlight all the different things one can be used for. I feel like my kiddos would love some printed bugs and other miniature things like that.
Very cool! I like to see the problem solving as part of the video.
Speaking of which, you can use a hair dryer to shrink the vinyl around compound curves. Increases conformity and reduced cutting.
Bob, I love you. I've been grappling with how to achieve a mando helmet on my prusa mini. This is exactly the video I needed
This is the way!
Waiting for my Prussa Mini to arrive in the next month. Can't wait to try something like this ^_^
Phenomenal work as always, Bob, we love you
@@georgetroulis so uh has it gone well?
Great job, that was awesome to watch start to finish.
We're hoping to add more functionality to the cut tool in PrusaSlicer in the near future. Although the fact that you have to rotate the parts first before you cut it actually kinda makes sense, because that's most likely the orientation you will want to print them.
Awesome job! I recently printed a Mandalorian helmet in 6 pieces and working on priming/painting Thor's hammer, definitely possible with a smaller volume printer.
I've been doing research on the steps for after printing a helmet and this is for sure one of the best videos to off of. Thx!
Now I've absolutely got to make myself a Phase II clone helmet. Excellent video!
SAME
Awesome stuff! I've made mine in a very similar fashion. It's through you I discovered the 3m glazing putty and I absolutely love it! I'm currently prototyping an arduino powered motorised range finder for the helmets. Do you do want one when I finished the final product?
This is the first video that makes me feel REAL confident in making a solid/durable/good looking helmet. I will be following this closely.
I was just looking through helmet models to print a couple of days ago! I'm gonna make a custom Mandalorian cosplay but only have access to smaller printers, so thanks, Bob!
I did the same with the sizing. It wasnt until it was fully together that I realised the cheek parts wouldn't fit over my head
Live and learn. Hopefully now someone else won't make the same error.
so how do you size it then?
Bruh which 3D printer do u use? I'm trying to get one that's decently sized
@@danthebunnie_origins1146 I use the Ender 3 by creality. Really good printer to get started with
@@LiamJames23me too. I haven’t printed a helmet yet but I want to soon!
Your 3D printed shoretrooper helmet gave me the idea to 3D print an iron man mk 1 helmet
Tony Stark Was Able To Build This In A Cave! With A Box Of Scraps!
You gave me the inspiration to do a Masterchief helmet. I never have done one of these because I just don’t like the idea of having to glue/acetone pieces together, but your video made this feel a whole lot easier to manage and complete than I was originally expecting.
Nice job! Both helmets look fantasic.
i love the simple way you join together all the diferent parts, though for my personal taste i'll prefer it way more weathered, but eventhough its great.
Damn that looks really good. I´ve been making a clone trooper helmet out of like 10 pieces to print out. It´s really hard but i kinda like it. You should also try one of these ;)
this has motivated me to make my own one so much now!!
Thanks for Going into great detail on the bodywork and the sanding. Something I have to work on in the future.
This turned out great! For the liquid masking you can buy a little square to remove it easier. If you end up using liquid masking more it will save you time and headaches. Any art store should have some!
Me: This is the way
Everyone in 60 mile radius:THIS IS THE WAY!
demagolka this very much proves that you do not know the way.
that’s sick! this is the way.
That helmet was made perfectly!!!! You did a great job on the printing and the difficult paining work!!!! I love it!!!
I've had a 3D printer for a year now and just now from your video found that I can slice STL files up to smaller pieces. That just made things more interesting
Oh hell yeah. I just finished the Mandalorian, soooo good
It is!
Bob and Star Wars! Always a great combo.
Play to your strengths i guess.
Amazimg helmet!! So satisfying to watch...i'll rewatch it like 10 times in the coming year
This turned out really fantastic! I also loved how you showed the process.
Totally missed opportunity to start the video with "I'm Bobba and I Like To Make Stuff!".
This makes me want to binge watch the series!
Do it!
@@Iliketomakestuff Dew it! | Palpatine.
I actually chose not to watch it at first because I was afraid it was going to be another The Force Awakens let down. But after actually watching it, it is more Star Wars than many Star Wars things. I consider it to be Original Trilogy and Rogue One quality. Watch it. Jon Favreau knows his stuff 🤩🤩
These are sick. Wonderful job on the 3D prints, painting, and attention to detail
Those turned out great!, If this was the video about finishing a 3d print that you asked if you should do a little bit ago I’m definitely glad you did it!
One day, your son will be a simple man making his way through the universe like his father before him.
So can’t wait to see how you got out of the Sarlacc pit! 😂
You killed it man, I make helmets all the time. Only thing I'd recommend is adding foam inside for comfort!
I always add foam to. Makes it comfortable and not as irritating while at conventions
Bob, once again you are my hero. Recently bought the Prusa Mini and have been so happy printing but limited by the size of the bed. Had no idea Prusa Slicer could do that.
My sons birthday is next month and all he wants is a mandolorian helmet.... couldnt have made a better video.
Thanks as always.
Hi, I’m Bob at I Like To Hold Stuff (while the glue dries)
Holy smokes I did not expect your voice to sound like that when you put it on!
The joy of editing!
since i am a massive Star Wars fan, and I make stuff. I absolutely love this. and that cinematic at the end. wow! this is why you would deserve to have more subscribers!
Thanks for this video. I've been 3D printing for about a year now, but have not gotten into more complex projects involving glue/bondo/paint, and this video was helpful. Best wishes!
Hey just wondering what glue you use
these videos make me wanna get my own 3D printer
I highly recommend it! Such a fun hobby
I am currently printing a mandalorian helmet. However, I used PLA and it doesn't work that bad for grinding. But you showed me a few good tips on how to stop making mistakes in the future that I have already made. Thank you
Man, those helmets are cold. I love the black and gold color on your son's helmet. I also think that the combination of the chipped-paint and slight-weathering highlights really make it look authentic.
Looking forward to seeing more cool Star Wars-based props.
Thank you Bob for helping me realize that I don't need to buy a huge printer to make helmets.
If you get the colours perfect Disney would probably sue you lmao
As long as I don't sell it. Hopefully.
@@Iliketomakestuff Tell that to B is for Build... They had their Mustang confiscated because they named it Eleanor while they were still building it...
@@bg73 yep i remember that, prob one of the worst things that could happen to you during a build
I absolutely love my PRUSA Mark 3is. I’ve just completed printing all the armor, helmet, blaster & Alban rifle for my Mandalorian outfit and glued & sanded all the armour. The slicer makes it so simple to cut the big pieces & then glue them back together for a perfect fit. I’ll be using a technique that involves graphite powder to make the armor & helmet look like Beskar vs painting with Alclad silver like a lot of folks do - it results in a mirror like finish but you cannot put fingerprints on it ….
Cool. I just got a cr10 mini yesterday with some buddy's. I was alreddy slicing a clone helmet for when i get the printer working well
Epic videos.
Thanks! Which one is your favorite?
@@Iliketomakestuff probably the one where you made the closet from your attic like space.
Been waiting for this! 👏
Wait no more!
Great result! Impressive. Liked the 3d printing slicing.
I use a soldering iron on low to melt pla together. You can use scrap pla and weld additional material as well and then sand.
"This is the 3d printer way"
OH how I don't miss masking and painting my Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett helmet.
Oh boy, I bet that took a while.
@@Iliketomakestuff I worked on it off and on for a few years.
Thanks for this one Bob! Great stuff. . . . love the "Be excellent to one another" shirt, GREAT message!!!!
Thanks! The paint booth looks amazing!
@@Iliketomakestuff thank you, it's getting there my friend.
loved the project but i also loved loved the pacing and editing of this particular video. great job!!
Wear this with a mask while out shopping etc...be a person of Walmart...lol
I may or may not have done this.
Hey, a mask’s a mask haha
@@Iliketomakestuff Step:2
Time to make the full armor
grandma approved
This is oddly comforting to know that grandma approves.
@@Iliketomakestuff :)
I’ve seen you on some Evan Braddock videos
This is the Way! Great job on the helmets, Bob. You totally inspire me!
People that make props amaze me, so much work.
my god, bob has to be the greatest dad out there 😭
Where can I find files For some thing like this
You can check myminifactory.com or prusaprinters.org or thingiverse.com
@@Iliketomakestuff Awesome thank you
Look up galactic armory also for alot of different star wars files
@@Iliketomakestuff where did you specifically find the files for this. i want to make one my self but i cant find any that looks as nice as the one you used in the video.
Creative, interesting, informative. Thank you Bob
You can use hairspray applied with a sponge as a chipping mask. I use this technique in model building. After the paint is dry just use a stiff brush ( old toothbrush) or even a piece of masking tape to remove the hairspray and chips will be left behind in whatever your base coat was.
It can even be done in layers to have various colors etc. It’s really pretty simple.
ILM used the same technique with their props and models.
Everyone quick spam “This is the way” in the comments section of the video.
“I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold.”
the gold and black looks awsome!!!
I am really amazed by this video and will try to do the same project
t h i s i s t h e w a y !
this is the way.
Don’t touch epoxy with your skin!
fact.
Great job! I like that you took the time to really flush out the weathering details. Using the liqid mask is pretty easy but still a bit of a pain if you have a bunch of ragged detail to add. I've had great success using just a spray mist of water and sprinkling a mix of rock salt and smaller grained Kosher salt over the areas I want to mask and letting it dry. You can remove some if you want less, or add another layer if you want more. Spray paint as usual, dry, and just rub it off with a soft cloth. It gives good results, ( after playing with it a few times ) and is much more random in details ( my opinion). Great channel and love the content!
That's so cool :) I know the helmets are supposed to be a weathered mat finish, but a clear coat would really lift those colours up.
Looking forward to the day, I get myself a 3d printed and try this. For now I’ll make one from foam. Great vid thank you!!
THIS. RULES. Awesome job, totally inspired to get started now!
I'm doing a lot of small prints (40%) of Mando helmets because I am new to the hobby. Videos like this really help educate me and break down the process, making it far less intimidating. Been doing some paint tests recently. While I don't have an airbrush (my tiny apartment doesn't have room for all my hobbies), some of the spray paints work fairly well. Hoping to put together my very own wearable helmet soon. Thanks for the video!
P.S.: I had no idea that the back of Boba's helmet was actually a different color!
A tip I've used to avoid holding JB weld glued parts until it sets is to leave a hole in the center of the applied epoxy and put drops of fast setting superglue in that spot just before placement. you can let go after about 15 seconds and the cryo cyanate holds it in place until the surrounding epoxy cooks. (-:
Amazing! I’m waiting to get visors for my helmets👌🏽
Keep showing off that Maker knife every time I log in to check they are still sold out , but both the helmets look great , Good job
these are AWESOME, love your projects a lot!!!
Very cool. And i like the "modded" nerf too. Been thinking about doing something similar.
Awesome Bob! Love watching your videos! Keep up the good work.
I really clicked to say how cool the black gold color scheme looks. Very nice
Nicely done! Looks spot on
I know you love making stuff in general, but you always seem happier when it's something nerdy (and the bee stuff, it was pretty obvious you loved the bee stuff)
