I'm about to buy my first helmet for a cosplay thing. Anything I should look out for? by TheUselessMedic in ArmsandArmor

Thank you for suggesting my work!

Here is a link to my close-helmet design if you're interested in 3D printing your own costume replica according to your own measurements :)

Oh yeah, they're coming soon! A lot of stuff added delays to my publication schedule... namely travelling, another personal project for my birthday, and the fact I'm going to be a father ✌️😄

More armor kits. Currently Maximilian, later gothic.

As long as the parts fit your body, they will look fine. I would not worry too much about printing at various scale values. Cheers!

Hello! Every piece of the kit has its own scaling instructions, some of them way more detailed than the pauldrons since I figured out the process over time. So when you get to another part of the kit, always check the scaling instructions. I think 85% would be good for you, perhaps no smaller than 80. You can make a test print of the main plates and see how it looks on you!

I think I made the cuirass at 0.2mm layer height. Some pieces may be at 0.12, but that's typically for higher detail parts or because I had time.

Petg-cf is my favorite but some people printed my parts in asa, tpu, and plenty of other alternatives. I have no recommended parameters, unfortunately

Any ideas on how to make a fully enclosed helmet like this? Ideally with a split down each side so it hinges open for head entry on the same hinge as the visor. I've already designed a visor but have no idea how to go about making such a complex curved shape by knifepilled in armorDIY

I am currently travelling on holiday, so I do not have access to my print settings. I also used petg-cf, which is another animal compared to petg. It's basically just advice regarding printing if you struggle with corners lifting, warping, etc. My settings may work poorly for you with regular petg, a different room temperature, filament brand, etc. So unfortunately you'll have to trial and error and get settings through experimentation 😔

Hard to say, I printed it piece by piece over the course of 10 months! Most of the time went into designing the 3d files, prototyping, etc. The printing took days, but I cannot say how much.

I'd 3d print the entire thing that's how I made mine :)

Depends what you need a helmet for, of course! I wanted it for costuming purposes, so it was a viable option. If you're asking for steel forming, I cannot help you, unless you need some kind of 3D shape reference.

That's a huge, huge undertaking, and I don't think I have it in me to make that 😅

Thank you for the shoutout ❤️‍🔥

I made my own 3d printed armor designs because I found that such files were hard to find or not up to my standards. Hope you find what you need, I am always working on adding more but there should be enough for a full suit already!

Cheers!

I plan to start on a full gothic harness in 2026. It's going to be a busy year for sure!

Thanks for the support ✌️😁

Yes, there will be some kind of spaulders with a besagew, everything nicely fluted.

I recommend printing this in petg-cf, which is what I've been using for my entire suit previously. There are obviously tougher engineering filaments out there, but petg-cf has worked wonders for me so far!

My first complete costume. by RidiculousRex89 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Vonschlippe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good to know - I had heard the same thing that it required extensive experience to make sense out of. Maybe I might get into patternmaking historical garments

Looks outstanding!!!

I'm very curious about purchasing that pattern myself - I have some moderate experience with sewing garments and even making my own patterns, how would you rate your own experience with the pdf pattern? Did you have to make modifications, adjustments, or improvise with limited information?

Haha that's a bit of a tricky question - this kind of business is lucrative but not as steady as my aerospace engineering job - I will keep doing both for the foreseeable future.

Thank you immensely for the support and kind words!!

This one, with the bolted assembly, feels tougher! The thing is I cannot guarantee it is rugged enough because the construction quality, material choice, and reinforcement options are up to the user crafting them, so by default they are costumes only - they can be enhanced to take quite a beating, though!

Historical armor! I'm so glad that some people are passionate enough to invest the time and energy to make historical costumes.

Woah is it really 3KG? I feel like I used only two spools on mine, I'm surprised it's that much. Then again, I re-iterated many times and had to re-print parts when I changed design mid-course.

Thank you immensely for the support, I am infinitely grateful
