Adam Savage's One Day Builds: NASA Spacesuit Helmet!

Adam puts together the very complex and intricate assembly of 3D printed and machined parts for his NASA ACES spacesuit helmet replica. This helmet includes contributions from multiple makers, including The Broken Nerd, Punished Props, and Shawn Thorsson. And as is sometimes the case with a One Day Build, this build isn't without its complications.

Hey adam, could you someday design a simple DIY spacesuit and actually test it in a vaccum chamber? It would be so nice to see what you came up with given your experiences with spacesuits.

[@f1matt]

Adam Savage’s Tested Not sure if Adam knows about it. But Tamiya has a new line of masking tape that is very much like the pin striping tape. It is very thin. Comes in multiple widths. And is extremely flexible! Great for markings curves! I’ve used it and it’s great stuff!

[@AJR2208]

Hi Adam, A tip for everyone when mixing paints - Get a good supply of syringes from the drug store. Then you can mix exacting amounts of your colors. This is also a lot cleaner & does not leave paints dribbling down the outside of containers. If you make records of the quantities as you go it will be a lot easier to re-make that particular color again in the future. Otherwise it is a bugger to try and match them again. Make more than you need and keep the leftovers in another container. This will help for touch-ups later on or to help color match a new batch of paint / lacquer. When spraying, get a card or scrap sheet to fire a test on first. This will help to get your "Spray Fan" and "Flow Volume" correct before attacking your new-to-be loved project.

[@carliegriffiths6290]

this is great technique. my partner is a classic car restorer, so has to often custom mix paints, as the original paint code doesn't take into consideration the different formulas of modern colour tints, and also the way that paint ages. Unless you are doing a full respray, there is always a tweak to get the right colour match. you can log it in a book, with the customers name, so if they need something else doing later, you have done the brain work already.

I'm not three minutes into the video and I have to pause to make a comment. "Do the hardest part first." Yes! This! It forces you to focus and get it exactly right. When you're done, you have a terrific confidence boost and you've likely practiced every skill you have to your utmost. And yeah, it lets you practically sail through the rest effortlessly. I really hope that point gets through to everyone who's thinking about tackling a difficult project. Face your uncertainty squarely and push right through it. It's so worth it.

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

The ACES is my favorite suit of American space flight, it has a unique look to it, it’s industrial it’s designed for a specific job, it’s not meant to be glamorous or the star of attention but that’s what I love about it, it’s the suit you’d imagine a space shuttle crew would wear, shuttling cargo to orbit in a sci-fi movie in a weathered worn shuttle craft wearing their pumpkin suits, I can imagine them in a space port standing out in a crowd or in a seedy space port bar wearing them having drinks and awaiting for a cargo load.

Can you do a video explaining how the real helmet would seal? You've spoken about how complicated the locking systems on the real articles are in a couple other videos, and even if it's not possible to recreate the tolerances without significantly more intensive equipment, it would be really cool to understand the concept that allows, for example, the edge of the clear face shield to seal and maybe how the bar helps that happen?

[@jasonpressler7111]

if you do get overspray, we use shark paper in high end finishing. also use cling wrap to cover large rounded or odd shaped portions and tape it to the tape. also the more red you have the brighter it will dry, the more black the darker it will dry. I am surprised you do not mix your own paints by now, its fairly simple use a good quality scale to weight out your pigments. then you can tailor it to what ever application works best(IE stain, or solid, oil, lacquer, or water based.....never use water based on wood, stick to laquer) always always always remove your tape right after the paint flashes.

Yo dude, it’s seamstress bro, she is a seamstress not a sew’ist ... that’s not a word. Thank you from the rest of the world.

[@athens400]

I don’t get why people get so riled up over the word sewist. Language is an evolving thing and as the sewing makers find the english vocabulary lacking of an appropriate word for a person who sews they make one up. There are several reasons why one would avoid the word seamstress: It’s gender specific. It doesn’t traditionally include the creative process but rather only the manufacturing. I.e. one who operates the sewing machine, not the one who creates the garment. The machine operator at a car factory isn’t a car maker. Seamstress also generally means sewing as a profession, excluding the hobbyist. Dressmaker doesn’t cut it because that’s limited to women’s clothing or at best general clothing. What you should be advocating if sewist gets under your skin is the word SEWER which is a word, is in the dictionary and all that jazz. Plus it has the added bonus of being a heteronym with the poop and pee kind of sewer. Me, I kinda like sewist. There is certainly a need for it.

@@mrb2917 Yet here you are! Yeah, I know. Seamster was kinda weird to throw into the mix all of a sudden.

[@CRAZYKIDKAMAN]

I spent the first bit of my 2019 finishing this video. Thanks for a good start to the year, Adam!

[@OldBuford]

33:43 anyone else's stomach drop?

[@Scrimjer]

I like that Adam isn't a huge sell out, he offers you low cost solutions, he will give you ideas to get products, but dosen't shove it down your throat.

[@laurencemichaelbennett2506]

I gotta say this is one of the most impressive 'one day builds' you have done in quite some time, and the associated videos and work has been a pleasure to watch, especially the helmet AND the visor work Awesome work and fun quotes galore Cheers

Love the show, got my One Day Build Shirt a few days ago. Love it - thanks Adam and team for working to hard and having so much fun at the same time!

I've been building a lot of models lately. Those Tamiya paints are awesome, the only ones I'll use anymore, especially the spray cans. I don't have my airbrush stuff any longer and the Tamiya just sprays so smooth and evenly. One trick about using tape, you will get a lot crisper line and less bleed if you first paint the base color after taping, then shoot the color you want. Base color, white in this case fills up the tape edges where it may have lifted etc.

Made me realize Adam is getting old, I can see the stress and deep breaths he have been taking while making the helmet. Also, I think that's a blood pressure on his left arm for monitoring. Anyway, this is absolutely one of the greatest One Day Builds. Kudos to the Tested team!

28:28 you're not supposed going back and forth on a file, it damages the file. Files only cut on the push

[@robvaillancourt]

Thought that, too...going to watch the referenced vid to see how they do it...

[@wardenerbros]

Most entertaining One Day Build in a long time! Awesome seeing that puppy come together!

[@CDRaff]

Can we talk about how badass a person sounds when wearing a paint respirator? That weird vibrato it puts sounds so cool.

[@DaedalusProps]

Shawn does such, not only awesome, but FAST work.

[@dfhj4556]

Geez,I got sucked into this and just could not get away from it. Fascinating as hell!

[@skyler6133]

finally, someone else who starts with the hardest thing first

[@GEOde13]

38:00 Congratulations Adam, you've had your Bob Ross moment. So smooth and soothing I nearly napped.

[@enolp]

Adam radiates the same energy as my old choir teacher and I absolutely love it

[@gooseholla1]

Adam Savage is on a totally different level and makes all my arts/crafts/diy look like a 5 year old's attempts. Now I know how The Head must have felt in Art Attack.

[@pirobot668beta]

Ah, you haven't heard/seen the 3d-print news! OK, not all that new of news. A fellah has come up with a Cura profile that prints clear solid parts! Lenses, prisms, clear windows. Done it myself with clear PLA. 50 micron layer height, 110% material flow rate, 15-20 mm/sec print speed, somewhat elevated nozzle temps, LOTS of cooling. The idea is that when layer #419 is being printed, it is also re-melting layer #418 and melting partly into layer #417. All this overlapping fusion makes for a truly solid part. The over-extrusion eliminates bubbles and voids, but the surface quality of the parts suffers. Lots of excess material ends up on the surface of the part. The surface looks scabby after printing, but remove the 'rind' and the interior looks like glass! I haven't gotten any of my attempts to be 'lens clear' yet, more tweaking to come, but I can clearly read text through 7mm of printed PLA! The downside is ridiculously long print times!

6:24 I just love how Adam is so childish it inspires me to find happiness in small things like this

[@paulmax3185]

Adam always has an enthusiasm for projects. I don’t believe it to be “ for show” I think he really enjoys what he does. He is lucky to have work that he loves. So many poor slobs in this world have jobs they hate or that hate them!
