Hondo was a pirate in the clone wars that's close right

I recently 3D printed Din Jarin’s helmet and I have a small printer so I had about 40 pieces, but because of that, if the print fails it isn’t really a big deal. The downside tho is that the gaps can be big and not align perfectly, but it turned out fine and it wasn’t too difficult. Hopefully I can get a larger printer soon.

[@STACKZOFICIAL]

Amazing

[@redvenator2945]

Man, that looks great! I love the jaig eyes and rangefinder! Edit: I think the tally marks are how many tactical droids or seperatist leader kills.

[@steveheathen212]

I’ve always been under the impression that they were a count of how many times the armor saved his life

[@wolfe3298]

This is definitely one of your best helmet builds yet. Rex's helmet is so interesting and so was the process of making it.

[@IzzcanV]

you have outdone yourself once again my friend! Congratulations on your rapidly increasing number of subscribers and thank you for this content and perfect paint job!

[@othicx]

I love that you used Bloken by Maddeinc such a cool song. Not to mention how cool your prints are. I'm hoping to get a couple soon

I really like the yellow on the helmet. It was a really good touch on both your, and the animators part. Welds actually make the metal yellow during a weld.

dude, this helmet looks gnarly, I want to make one and give it to my friend rex who I am moving away from and I will miss him, huge thank you for the idea and tutorial!

[@jeremyromand]

Great video! Great helmet!! I do agree with another comment, giving it one more weathering job would really finish it off. Looks awesome man!!

[@CloneShockTrooper]

hey.. suggest you use an inky brown wash paint for the welding details.. ps I myself did a realistic Captain Rext Phase II and boy its so awsome too.

[@MigMonkey]

Love it, I'm staring at mine and as much as I love the paint job I did, seeing your welds not follow that molded line but being back further looks much closer to the real thing. But no way I can redo my welds now.. lol Also what I heard the tally marks were on his helmet and his forearms is the number of clankers he took out in his first battle.

[@benwallis2047]

Just wow. It looks so soo good. Great job man!

[@KristianB07]

What a cool helmet. I was debating if I should make this one...

[@pilots1015]

What a amazing helmet.

[@BlatantlySwedishPGN]

That looks amazing! Can't wait to see how you did the paint job!

[@EndyTheGamer19]

I have been waiting for this video forever now it has come.

[@howitzer4041]

You can see the General Grievous bust in the background. That video is from 3 months ago. It really puts into perspective how long these videos really take. Keep up the good work!

[@garrettcarlson7844]

Sweet helmet and tutorial, only minor critique is the 'troth' area below the tally marks that wraps around the helmet should be grey.

[@vaultfox]

I really like how the blue spots came out on this with the acrylics! I'm working on an Ursa Wren helmet commission and was struggling with how to get that brushed look and ... can't believe I didn't think of actually just using a brush and paint LOL

[@Thomas-ss1iu]

Very cool! Just finished my Fives helmet and kind of wishing I'd used the brushing technique you used here for the Rishi Eel. Great work!

[@Fertty14]

Was trying to find this everywhere a few days ago and was super bummed you didnt have one up on your channel yet. Awesome timing and pretty sick helmet!

[@alexpotter7116]

It would be cool if you also did one that makes it more accurate to the films, there are a few figures of rex that have that helmet, it looks a bit more aggressive in my opinion. Great video!

[@nickla654]

Thanks a lot for this video! Also the link to the files for the Armor. My captain Rex helmet will arrive soon while I'll make the rest of the Armor myself. So helpful. Have a nice day!

[@JoshuaKnight]

I just finished printing the "realistic" Rex helmet last night. Looking forward to stitching it together and painting it.

[@alexreeves2686]

Your last video did super well man! Your doing a great job on all your project, keep up the great work.

[@somabardi7361]

Nice helmet and cool video,could you make a full Arc Trooper armory(perhps from fives)

[@riuken1234]

Thanks for the video, I think a 3d pen can be use to create the weld effect.

[@lexworthington]

You should do the same thing but phase one

[@lionlambleather6306]

Just and idea, use epoxy putty to make actual raised welded beading on the helmet for detail would be kind cool. Looks great as it is tho

[@Quinten_exe]

YES! This helmet is awesome!

[@josephmadre5995]

Hey man great content. Have you considered making any OT armor? I think some stormtrooper helmets or deathtrooper helmets would look great. Maybe even tie pilot or x-wing pilot helmets. And for clone wars era maybe republic commandos. Awesome job on your work tho and can't wait to see more.

Does the bondo putty give strength to the print? If not, are there any compounds you'd recommend to add some bulk to thin sections? This goes for any helmet print, not just this one. Thanks!

[@carter7967]

[@tylerprime3547]

Seeing as you did a video of how to add the weld lines I figured you already made one. Yours is cleaner than mine as I black washed mine. I made the one you showed in an old video but as it was my first helmet I modified it and used vinyl for the visor but I may some day go back and make a wearable one. Also seeing as this is such a well known helmet I think it would be cool to do the boba fett helmet 1 because it’s so famous 2 the appearance in season 2 of the mandalorian and 3 it’s very beat up and weathered especially the one in the mandalorian likely from the sarlacs stomach acid

[@t.holzenhauer7097]

since pla warps pretty fast in hot weather conditions and cosplaying is demanding a higher strength for that, is there a way to support the structure of pla? i used it in the beginning, started use PETG, but my printer dont really like that and me nether. every now and then a print fails for more importantly, i get stringing and blobs. and i can print pla way faster. since you used a heat gun on a pla and petg helmet... is there a way to make pla more durable? maybe UV resin coating? whats with paint coated pla... is that more durable than blank pla?

I recently 3D printed a phase 2 revenge of the sith clone trooper helmet from a free file and it seems a little big. I’m hoping that if I print armor that it’ll broaden my shoulders and make the helmet look more proportional. Is that usually the case? Like do they normally look big? I’d just hate putting a ton of time into it if it’s not the right design
