How to Scale 3D Printed Helmets!

[@UncleJessy]

This is going to help sooooo many people

[@FranklyBuilt]

I hope so man! I tried to hit all the marks

[@kerseyfabs]

Hey Frank, great video. One correction for you though, in method 1 you chose the third measurement box. That will measure from the outside of the wall of the helmet to the other outside of the wall of the helmet which means you're getting the wall thickness in the measurement too. You should choose the second measurement type for an inside measurement. Method #2 is fire!

[@ruizspieces]

I don't know what I like more a out your channel... The things I learn and take away from the videos or seeing some of the cool things you've printed and finished! Awesome work man, thank you for your content and keep it up!

[@Noah_Bisch]

The tumb nail was beautiful!! So simple yet so elegant!! I also think that the iPhone photography course had really helped you because I've noticed a huge difference so good on you!!

[@FranklyBuilt]

Thank you so much! My wife did a killer job on this one haha

[@kaylaambriana1101]

Awe thank you Noah! 🥰

[@georgefernandez2566]

I was looking at one of your older vids and I gotta say I almost feel like you have an editor now cause the quality just keeps going up

[@FranklyBuilt]

My wife edits a lot of my videos now but we both have learned so much and work harder on production quality

[@seansaunders1432]

Hey Frank! I spoke to you today at Makers Central at the NEC around lunchtime (I think you were just heading out for a sandwich). I have watched this now and it makes TOTAL SENSE. Thank you for taking the time out to go through this in person and explaining it to me, I appreciate your help and love your videos! Thanks!!!!!!!!

[@thataussiebloke_2494]

Thanks a lot for making this guide! Scaling helmets has been a challenge for me so far and this has really given me a lot of options I didn’t even consider before! I was however making my own callipers out of folded up lengths of paper and a ruler but this all seems a bit more accurate than that 😂

[@FranklyBuilt]

Hey it works if you take your time!

[@Epyon757]

Your videos have motivated me into getting a 3D printer soon (CR-10s pro v2) Instead of Ironman I want to make a Warmachine suit. I’ll use what I’ve learned from your channel and hopefully document my journey too. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@FranklyBuilt]

No problem at all!

[@ImBarelyMe]

I’ve only been printing a few months and was so afraid I couldn’t print without those giant printers, I’m downloading mesh mixer as I type this and gunna rewatch and test a few ways out, thank you so much Frank

[@julesfalcone]

12:00 The scan of one's head is awesome.

[@HdkTech]

Started printing my first helmet a day before watching this video. I was however expecting it the be the wrong size. Good practise for a newbe like me anyways. Alot of good tips here, now I know alot more than i did before watching. Easy sub.

[@evilempryss]

I have a HUGE Mandalorian Armorer's helmet because I didn't know any of these tricks. I plan to finish it eventually to use as wall art ☺

[@platinumfreeman]

Great video as always! Scaling is very much needed but when you have to scale and there are servo mounts and moving parts that are not also scaled, the work becomes much more difficult. Great work once again

[@Directo13]

I'm new to the hobby this really helps.

[@sparky18]

THANK YOU FOR THIS, before this video, I got my head stuck inside one of my helmet, and I heard this (STEP BRO IM HOME!) Uh oh. 😂

[@FranklyBuilt]

Oh no haha

[@MikeJTWhite]

@@FranklyBuilt i was wondering if I could hire you to print something for me

[@foamfpsguy6316]

@@MikeJTWhite Sorty mate, he ain't gonna do it

[@Larsolas]

Hahahah, made me laugh, thanks

[@franklinsoto3316]

Frank can I hire to do simple 3d print of my head only. Please let me know. Thank you

[@BenNagle]

Funny you should post this video this week as I just did the calipers and test ring methods this week to scale a Captain Rex helmet for my big noggin. The methods work.

[@FlyingWoookie]

SWEET I so want to try all of your tips out! I love how concise your explanations are. Every helmet is always huge for me 😭

[@FranklyBuilt]

I do my best haha

[@Br34kZ_53]

About to purchase a 3d printer with saved up money these are great tips I’ll be prepared when I start printing now

[@SupaSWDugnut]

Thank you so much for this guide. I have been trying to make a helmet for a while now and I have wasted a lot of filament on parts of the the helmet that I made good small. I knew that I had seen this before so when I remembered that you had made this video this was the first place I came. Thank You! : )

[@vtheawesome]

Oh man, I could have used this video before I started my Mando build. But, I appreciate the information you put out there regardless!

[@Do3D]

Thank you so much for making this video! This will help so many people.

[@eyesuckatgames8226]

In case you notice this comment I want to say that your videos have given me an amazing idea of what to print and how to print it

[@FranklyBuilt]

That’s awesome!

[@_tortilla_]

Thanks so much man, I wanted to make a clone trooper helmet but wasn't very confident and didn't know how but now I'm feeling more confident and know how to do it so thanks

[@thornleymarshalldesigns]

This is a brilliant video. As a sculptor I knew some of these, however some of the other stuff I’ve now learnt, thank you

[@chrismoro8858]

Thanks Frank, thats the type of video you have to continue, best video are when you giv good tips like that!! Thank you, you change our lives!!

[@jmosley922]

The tiara style measuring ring is such a great tip! Thanks!

[@MrSakata65]

Love this, before I got a 3d printer I had a local guy make me my Batman Beyond helmet and I had to go around to do some measurements after the first print was huge. Managed to get the second one completed but it's awkward to get my head in so I'm going to attempt to do it again but more like your awesome Ironman ones 🤩

[@hobbyclash4801]

I just bought a CR 10 pro V2 and these are amazing tips on how to size

[@SeaBass80]

Great videos I learned more in your video in 2 minutes than I have in weeks on sites reading stuff. Super helpful Thanks!!!

[@fidonol]

Man your content is GOLD! I really appreciate it, thank you!

[@madman7923]

i feel like an expert now and ive never even printed a helmet! thank you for so much information!!

[@kotomile]

So much easier now with the measurement tool in Prusaslicer! (added since this video was made)

[@Snake369]

This is absolutely perfect timing for me. Thanks so much

[@camtron1967]

I have made an iron man helmet now and i love it. I have always wanted to have an iron man helmet and now I do. Thanks frank so much for everything you have done

[@kylekimbro9496]

Not going to lie. This could be the most useful video I have watched in the entire time Iv been printing. Thank you.

[@demonsorrow536]

The head scanning i just did and it worked for a robin mask. I am trying it on my mask now. I am excited. The rim print worked

[@iagoamadeu9674]

man, i was looking for this for so long, thank u bro, u're one of the best in this content

[@calebthe3dprintingengineer]

U could also use a vernier

[@neverlamb0140]

Omg thank you so much, with all your recent tutorials this is just the perfect timing for 3d beginners to start printing! 🔥🤝

[@senshi7781]

This guy is generally just a genius i dont care what anyone says. Keep up the work Frank!!

[@juliogilfigueroa862]

I’m struggling right now with a Wolverine helmet 😩 but watching your videos are definitely helping!

[@matthewshaffer9377]

My buddy did a 3d scan of his head, made it into an STL, and just-manually checks if his “head” fits in helmets.

[@defusemani]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm excited to fire up my printers once again and start deep diving into fabrication.

[@agentgusgus]

Awesome video, I've been thinking about printing a Mando helmet, but I was worried that it wouldn't fit, this helps a lot. Thanks!

[@darren990]

them spray jobs are cool

[@TrueChaos56]

This is just what I needed. Thanks. Hope I can make a Halo helmet soon.

[@julesfalcone]

7:00 The ring cut helps a lot.

[@twotruckslyrics]

thank you so much for the timestamp!! ❤❤i hope your pillow is cold on both sides

[@jntenglish]

Great video! I did the Revopoint POP method and it works perfectly! Oh, and nice to see the new Frankly Reviewed channel!

[@Hydrasiac]

Such a helpful video! Scaled my mask perfectly to my face first print because of your video!

[@Opportunicgesture]

Dude thank you so much i was so scared to print my first helmet and find a good software for this thank you so much!!!

[@Opportunicgesture]

And you go into detail i love it

[@DookeyKing]

Glad I found this while I was planning my first helmet. Much appreciated.

[@neondragon2868]

Thank you! Now I really want to start printing 😊

[@ZombiesVsMyGuns]

I was about to skip but you were so convincing I watched the sponsor as well. Joke aside, your videos has shinned a light on my new hobby and I haven't been this excited about creating anything in a very long time. Ty for you for sharing your knowledge.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Hahahah thank you for that man!

[@ByPedri86]

thank you very much for sharing this knowledge with all of us a big hug from spain frank

[@Frigid_frost]

I Plan on starting a Prowler helmet, and maybe glove, from the new Across the Spider-Verse movie. These videos really help since Halloween is right around the corner

This video is helpful for me when Im fine tune my ender 3 pro

[@captain___rex8324]

This has so much valuable info, thanks for making it. I'm making my first helmet and I'm just kinda printing and hoping if it doesn't work I'm glad I have this video to fall back on for the next one

[@Bl4ckD0g]

Man, I can't wait to get my printer up and running. Your videos have been a real inspiration. My big goal is a full Cyborg Ninja cosplay.

[@Shaggy45517]

Awesome video Frank thanx for making the guide. Im working on my first suit now and this helped alot :D

[@Matthew21n]

Thank you for the test ring method. I was able to use this while building a halo reach armor set and I was able to get all the parts to fit me without looking to big or small

[@ahmedal2977]

Hey man, hope your doing well. Quick question: fokoos Odin 5 f3 or creality ended 3 with upgrades, as a first printer. I want to learn the hobby but don’t wanna tackle issues early on. Thanks for the great content, keep it up and I’m sure you’ll reach a million soon!

[@LexxDesign3D]

Highly recommend the Longer LK4 Pro! Frank has reviewed the LK5 Pro and it's exactly the same parts, just 220mm instead of 300mm

[@vincediesil]

Definitely very helpful info! Also, congrats on the sponsored video.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Thank you!

[@der_Echsenmann]

You are a real lifesaver for me. I am looking forward to buying a ender 3 v2 or something and i didnt exactly know how to scale and print helmets and armour pieces.

[@TheSmartin102]

I just saw this and think this is great!! I kinda like the idea of using my iPhone to scan my head to get a really accurate scale of my head. With so many 3D scanning apps available would you be able to recommend an app??

[@AryanSingh-sk1oo]

Please make a specific video on how to print mark 85 helmet with dimentions , perfect size and how to measure its size

[@FranklyBuilt]

That’s a very specific video lol just use this video to scale it

Bro I was looking for this all day and the same day I was looking for it you make it!!!!!!

Wild haha

[@crimmy838]

Please note: realistic helmets leave a ton of room for padding/suspension, military helmets have nearly an inch of space all the way around

[@verdaera]

I was curious how much room to leave for padding

[@garlicsalt317]

I'm excited to see that green goblin helmet when it's finished!

[@bigguy3021]

this video came to me right on time

[@dingus1983]

Great info in here, as always. Thank you for doing what you do! Oh, and I'm still curious if you'll be doing a video on your Green Goblin helmet lol. I'm currently prepping files and will be printing soon. The color shift paints are going to be key for that one for sure.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Yeah I am. It’s just not done yet as you saw in the intro

[@steinbrosstein209]

Nice helpful episode.

[@anthonysileci5121]

I am thinking about getting a 3d printer. Still researching, the main things I want to 3d print are Star Wars helmets, this would help me out to learn how to scale, but I was also wondering about how much filament roles does it take to make 1 helmet, and also what 3d printer would be the best for printing helmets and in price range?

[@damionpratt9844]

I really do wish I had watched this video. Before I started anything I had tried to print a helmet for the print to fail a quarter into it to see the helmet wouldn't have fitted as expected and scaled it up and it was too big for my head. I could always add padding to it but honestly it doesn't look practical at all but still could be a cool display prop.

[@HipHopCrusader]

Thank you very much, this helps a lot

[@mgkbro1157]

Hey Frank you inspired me to 3d print so when I get my 3d printer I want to print a iron man Mark 42 suit

[@tomkness6959]

Awesome video! Thank you so much! Def need to check out the LIDAR on my Iphone I never thought of that.

[@PercydeRoloFangirl]

Yep because I found this really cool Springtrap suit stl and I want to learn how to scale before my 3d printer comes.

I needed this

[@jaylenjaylen1618]

Thank its realy helping my out with 3d printes

[@thomasheisler]

There is a 4th option with fusion 360. take front, top and side veiws and scale them, extrude and the bodies you have use use intersect commend to get a rough of your head then use fillets to closly match you head. and that should work good enough. .... This process in total i am thinking could take at most an hour, if one doesnt have a 3d scanner would be best option

[@mikelind]

This video is so helpful! And not only that, the link for the Sam Alexander, Nova helmet, is just what I've been looking for! (Sorry Richard Rider, Sam's helmet is better)

hey frank i bought an ender 3 (95% because you recommended it) and i’ve been playing with it for a month now, could you do a tutorial on how to update it and improve it so it’s up to a 2022 standard

[@SinSpawn9000]

I really like the idea of scaling down a helmet to make it fit nice, but I think I would like it just a bit oversized so i can fit foam padding inside to make long term wear more comfortable for cons and such.

[@ameliathiel9931]

frank this is perfect!! thank you omg
