Here’s a few questions for you! Well,first off,I genuinely learned a lot from this video and although I don’t have a 3d printer,I’ll figure a way around it! But a few questions are -With female body proportions,how do I fit it right to my size? -How can I make some of the parts you made in a 3D printer but without it?
@N8TEBB15 күн бұрын
Thank for saying so! Glad this video was informational. When scaling any armour, it's important to remember to scale it so it looks proportional on you, not necessarily staying true to the game's proportions. Your proportions are more important than having everything be a tight fit in my experience. Here is a link to a post I made on the 405th that gives some tips on scaling: www.405th.com/forums/threads/new-mc-infinite-build-first-timer.54964/post-838490 All of the small parts I printed could easily be made with foam, with one notable exception being the helmet. It is possible to make a helmet from foam, but it is a lot trickier. You could use a 3D printing service to print the file for you, or you could order a cast helmet from a prop seller online.

@@N8TEBB oh! That’s neat! And I meant to ask more but here- How much was the amount of foam and all? For basic materials to make the armor (if you know of course ^^) And how can someone do some of the work that requires more higher priced materials/equipment? Any replacement materials or equipment to help? I’m trying to not go as expensive to be fully honest,I only have a good bit saved to make it.

So on your video you use a clear coat after applying the chrome, but on your tutorial on the 405th forum you say not to use a clear coat due to visibility issues. Which clear coat do you use and do you recommend using a clear coat? Just don't want the chrome to rub off as easy if possible.
@N8TEBB21 күн бұрын
In the video I used the clear coat made by spaz stix. The chrome still runs off if I touch it though. If you decide you want a clear coat, make sure to buy one made by the same brand that makes the chrome you used. If you use any old clear coat it will turn the chrome opaque. The 405th tutorial was written after the video, when I stopped recommending the clear coat. A clear coat offers diminishing return as I found out. I only know the chrome rubs off because I’ve had to redo the chrome on visors I’ve lent friends who didn’t realize they shouldn’t touch the inside of the visor. On my own personal visor that I’ve used heavily at conventions, the chrome is still in mint condition, because I know to not touch it.

Hey! This was really helpful. How long do you leave the plastic in the oven? Do you wait until it starts to sag? Does it give off toxic fumes? Also, is the dye on the plastic permanent or will it scratch off easily? Do you apply anything on the outside of the visor to protect it? Thanks!
@N8TEBB21 күн бұрын
Glad you found the video helpful! I just leave the plastic in the oven until it droops a bit. It shouldn’t give off fumes, if you smell it then the temp is too hot. For more info on fumes see the video description. The dye is very permanent but the chrome can scratch off easily. You can buy clear coats for spray chrome, but I find they do not help, and often critically reduce visibility, so it’s not worth the trouble. The dye will never leave the visor, but sometimes the chrome gets worn off so I’ll wipe it all off and reapply. Just do your best to not touch the chromed side of the visor.

how do you make the molds though? do most files come with a visor or do you have to design it separately from the helmet?
@N8TEBB24 күн бұрын
When I get the files for the helmet I also look to make sure there's a file for the visor included. MoeSizzlac on thingiverse is a great modeler and usually makes a visor buck. See his mkVII file: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4632670/files

Starting work on a helmet now. If I were to only make a helmet, how would I fit the hearing aid AND the speaker system into the helmet? If needed I could wear the speaker like a lanyard but I would prefer a way to keep it contained in the helmet. Thanks!
@N8TEBBАй бұрын
It’s pretty tricky to put the speaker in the helmet, as you’ll probably get feedback because the microphone is so close. You can do it, but it is a lot more involved. Here’s a link to a simple helmet speaker system www.405th.com/forums/threads/simple-helmet-speaker-system.50896/

I had a buddy try that, but it’s very difficult to get the plastic heated evenly. You may end up with a blobby mess. If you don’t want to use your oven, see if you can find a cheap toaster over to use

Honestly I prefer the look of the foam over 3D prints for the armor pieces, and I do agree that the more flexibility is nice to have, so this tutorial is perfect for me.
