Hi, would you recommend an elegoo neptune 4 or a creality ender 3 v3 ke? I never had a 3d printer so I don't know which one is better😭

[@gunmetalrook432]

Honestly answered a question I've had for some time now. My friend and I each have a P1, but I'm a firm believer in PETG and paint whereas he settles for AMS and PLA. At the end of the day, I can see it both ways. I like something like this to be pretty from any distance, not just a picture. Paint wins for me.

[@sabertoothanimations2912]

Personally, The raw 3D print looks great on Camara. However, I find that the painted version makes it look a whole lot better in person like Cosplay Events and Comicons. Also just knowing what paints to use for your cosplay to look more like the actual props or just better with your own design can be a bit challenging and sometimes just leaving it unpainted can work better for ya

[@SamDunham]

The painted ones definitely look better. Both look good, but the painted ones just look more finished. Also, on the mesh side of things, another option is the screens they make for frying pans to prevent spatter. If you look in my avatar photo, that's what I used for the Mr. Knight Moon Knight mask. Cheap, paintable, and easy to work with (and they look way more opaque in person).

[@Deviled_EG]

I love 3D printing also imagine a world where you don’t need to sand 3d prints

[@daspeed198]

i'd die to live in that world lol

[@astrophysicistguy]

That’s why i bought a PRUSA 2 yrs ago … 3800+ hrs of print time and i candy remember the last time I had to sand a print before priming. I print at .15mm by default and sometimes go to .10. Yes I can’t print helmets in one piece but I’ve build a full size Amban pulse rifle and heavy infantry tri barrel without issue. Speed doesn’t concern me as I’m not in production of things and the printer runs just fine in the middle of the night … “bambo stool the s/w from creality who stole it from Prusa … “. There’s a hint in there somewhere … lol

[@BenderRodriguezBender]

Yesterday is saw a video were a guy took 3d printing resind and brushed it on his 3d prints, hardened it with a UV light ( or put it on the window) and it was smooth like a baby butt. Interesting idea.

[@daspeed198]

@@BenderRodriguezBender yeah i've seen the resin method, it's much more messy than using normal filler and filler primer however but it is a good bit quicker, also you need a respirator as it's not good for you at all lol

[@TuncayAyhan]

[@ZeeengMicro]

In my case, not only the mat colors look better, they are also less brittle and less prone to getting "wet". Give them texture and you basically remove the layer lines.

[@DanZimmerli]

I love working towards the highest quality raw print vs. a lot of post processing. Thanks for this video!

[@viperousrook1511]

I personally think that the mesh being a different white makes it look infinitely better than the two whites being the same

[@BHK0riginalS1N]

I respectfully disagree. As much as I agree the offset looked kinda cool too. I think depending on the colour as he pointed out in the video.. some look better with a matching mesh some don’t. I think the white on white on white looks better but the white on red didn’t. The black mesh that didn’t match also looked slightly better too

[@schodown4036]

[@lucayau6282]

Hi frank! l am luca ,I just wanted to drop by and let you know how much I absolutely loved your 3D print video. It was truly fantastic! The attention to detail and the way you explained the process step by step was incredibly helpful and engaging. I was particularly impressed with all of your 3d printed things such as iron man helmets ,spider man helmets … Your passion for 3D printing really shines through, and its inspiring to see the incredible creations you bring to life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. Looking forward to more amazing videos from you in the future! Keep up the fantastic work! Feel free to personalize it and add any specific details or compliments that resonate with you and the content of the video. And in the future i hope you can make full detail video about iron man helmets with some free model,spider man no way home helmets with moving eyes!

[@Real_Name_Redacted]

Im so happy you made this video. From day 1, I always approached my helmets from the mindset that i was going to paint them. (so i bulk bought whatever color filament was the cheapest, because the color doesn't matter when you are painting them). As silly as it sounds, i never really thought about experimenting with filament colors instead of painting.

[@fimishaqua4849]

Wow! the white painted version definitely looks way better than raw printed just because the texture on the painted version was much more clearly visible and prominent than the raw printed version. However if that level of detailing is not a concern, then yes, the raw printed version also looks superb and definitely saves a ton of time and energy because there is no sanding and painting.... Always love your videos... great stuff and awesome content... thanks for all the videos and the effort u put in to share your experiences.

With the texture, the painted one looks better, It brings out the texture so much more. I'd be curious to see non-textured side-by-side. Also, the blacks really do need painted as the crown area of the mask really shows a shift in shade. Superb content as always. Second to none!

There are also various clear coats you can put over printed parts - like if you want a gloss or semigloss finish. While not paint free, it's a lot less work than a full paint job.

[@serafinocistola8092]

I printed my first textured Spider-Man mask. I had a stringing problem. Would painting the piece with red spray paint and then with matte varnish help cover some defects?

[@Brantley_Sloan]

Great Video! Just a couple of questions: Do you have a link to the fan mesh you used for the lenses? Also, were your eyes visible through the mesh?

[@Starganderfish]

The painted one had much clearer panel lines and seams and really made the helmet look more professional. Plus the metallic red eye frames are gorgeous of course. Curious why you didn't try to print the eye mesh or the eye "frames" on a resin printer? One of the best crafting methods is to use fast high quality FDM printers for the bulk parts and then use ultra-clean ultra high-resolution resin printing for the intricate details. Pretty sure the lenses would have come out great on a resin printer (though obviously, colour matching would be even harder!!) And finally, the top part/crown of helmets like this remain the biggest weakness of FDM printing. The visible layers lines and rough stepping as you reach the crown of the head is just unsightly. I was impressed to see how much better the textured helmets came out though - the differentiated surface really helped to hide the stepping. I'm eally wanting to pick up a Bambu to complement my resin printers and finally dump my awful Artillery Sidewinder. But I'm going to wait a bit longer and see how the rumoured X1E looks - fingers crossed its a bigger machine, at least 300-350mm!!

[@Squires_cosplay]

Did you end up doing a light weathering pass on a painted helmet? The texture seems to pop a lot better on that one for some reason.

Why does 97% of the subscribers not watch the videos, though?

[@juryfilanti]

in my opinion the big difference between the painted and the raw is the metal red... the white part is only a different tone of white and I will not loose any time on it if the printed one came out as good as yours

[@MrSmith-oe4ui]

Great vids! I always end up with swirls on top of my of my helmets (even my bambu) any suggestions?

[@jonahlang2731]

man, how are you getting such smooth rims where the supports meet the bottom of the helmet? every time i print with custom supports i get such chewed up edges

I don’t use prusa haha

[@Svenskaedits]

You have inspirer me so much so I wanna start whit 3D printing. And i Wonder which printer i shold buy

[@dyops]

I know I'm late here. I'm really stuck between the K1 Max and P1S Combo as my 1st and only printer. (Unless I can convince the Mrs that a 2nd printer is beneficial) Max for volume and P1S for the AMS. Obviously, I will print helmets one day (mostly SW) but I may do fun projects too that may use the AMS. So, in terms of quality print, which is better? I guess quality is top priority. I noticed you don't get those rings on the rounded top (especially on the textured helmet). Is it a setting in the slicer? Maybe I missed it, but what type of filaments do you use for armors? PLA is enough? I have time to decide but for now top 2 again is the K1 Max and P1S. Lately the Sovol SV07 Plus came out and it's a 3rd of the price of the other 2. So now I'm thinking if a bedslinger is OK or do I stick with a CoreXY.

[@CaptnNate]

I prefer the painted helmet, just looks finished. Great job!

[@Blissed42]

Im in the middle of printing my first mask and im so excited for the result i have been using your tuto and there amazing

[@Chriss_Workshop]

Rewatching this so i can learn more about my p1p while i wait for it to come in. Didnt know you could right click in bambu's slicer to block supports since the UI is so different than cura. I need to spend more time learning that software haha

[@sfelix111]

Which slicer do you mainly use for you Creality printers? I have the v3 se till I upgrade but trying to find the best going to be doing a daredevil helmet and want the best possible since it’ll take like 2 plus days on the SE

[@kirbyscreations3d]

Do you have any drooping in the dome for the ones printed on the P1P? Printed two, one on X1 and one on P1P, and with no support in middle it looked bad.

[@ImmortalReaver]

When you heat up the magnets to sick them in, how do you do it with PETG? I didn't know too much heat can ruin a magnet and I tested just putting it at 300f and it got the magnet in just fine but lost it's magnetism. You said they lose it above 70c but I believe the glass transition point of PETG is a bit higher than that.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Heat up the plastic. Not the magnet

[@sporadicamnesic]

Definitely think the painted, darker red of the eye frames looks better against the white then the red filament coluur, that looks more reddish/orange

[@Jesttricks]

Can you get this quality on a creality cr-10 v2, were you wouldn't have to do all the sanding and painting?

[@onurpekcetin7260]

Hey Frank. I thought the very top of the dome would collapse inside if not supported. I was about the print a textured spiderman ps4 helmet and I prepared ıt to have a bunch of supports at the top. Would the textures and surface on the outer side be fine without supports at the top?

[@onurpekcetin7260]

No like actually. Would you reccomend it? I seen your previous videos and you said it will be fine a lot of times but ım just curious about the texture quality

Hey Frank ! What happens if you put the supports in the eye appature while its oriented vertically, THEN tilt it back on the bed ? Do the supports stay where you put them ? I use Simplify 3D, and you can do that , it cuts down on support, filament, and print time.

The supports will only register to where they connect to the print. Doesn’t matter the angle
