[@BarbokVA]

For the "welding" you can also use leftover plastic you probably still have to "add" over the seam rather than removing it, by melting it on top of the two parts. I sadly can't afford a 3D printer yet but I used to spend a lot of time fixing plastics this way, since often you also just need to reinforce rather than melting the parts themselves, and since 3D printers already drop leftovers, might as well melt them over like a sort of glue after the initial tacking.

[@FTKJoskontjes301]

Would you add connectors when splitting them?

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

Exactly the kind of video I needed to see. Getting into 3d printing for a few reasons, but one of the larger reasons was printing the helmet/cowl and some other pieces for the main character of a super hero series I am working on. Had been wondering how I was going to print it if I didn't have a super large, super expensive printer. Nice to know I can easily break it up. Now the hard part of picking my first printer....

[@fakermakerprops3948]

Awesome video! Quick tip though, on cura, use the mirror tool. On a symmetrical helmet like Samus, you only have to export 1 half, saving room on your computer, and if you have one piece positioned great, you can just duplicate and mirror it, so you don't have to try and copy the positioning.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Good tip!

[@cl6322]

Just got a 3d printer a couple of weeks ago and was inspired by your videos to start working on an Ironman Mk 3 helmet on my Mega Zero 2. Couple of large pieces left to go that I was thinking about cutting up into smaller parts to avoid the 12 or so hour build times all at once. Going to have to get that Mesh mixer tonight and start cutting. IF I manage to not mess up too badly on the sanding and painting and such, next project will need to be some Halo helmet for my son. At least that one will be scaled a fair bit smaller so hopefully less work on the cutting to fit the printer. I have a feeling the house is going to be chock full of various helmets, armor, and accessories in the coming years. I think I'm going to need more printers lol

[@bugle0075]

Hey Frank. I was wondering if you had any advice for scaling helmets that are already sliced. I’ve seen videos about using head scans to scale the helmets before, but the files they use show a complete helmet instead of a sliced one.

[@zachmhuber]

Yeah, I’ve been wondering this as well.

[@punktic8653]

The same way they are scaling the full helmet, cut up or not the pieces will stay the same size. Or cut it up after you have the proper scale.

[@fakermakerprops3948]

Well that depends. If you open mesh mixer, sometimes they will snap into the right place, in which case you can combine the parts to find the best scale, then break them up. If there is a main piece of the helmet, you could scale that piece and then once you find that scale apply that to a smaller piece. For example the red hood helmet, which has the main helmet, then a back plate. Anyway, that's my 2 cents, hope it helped

[@lynn8313]

Hi! I’m brand new to 3d printing and I’m debating which size printer to get (im between an ender or cr10) and I know that a lot of what I wanna print is larger pieces like helmets and armour stuff, so I’m wondering, if you could go back and redo it, would you still get a smaller printer or would you get a bigger one? I’m drawn to the ender because it seems like it’ll teach me a lot and the less space taken up the better but at the same time I’m worried the learning curve is too steep

[@rose_d_mary]

@@lynn8313 learning curve is not bad at all, it’s quite simple. this 3D printer has taught me a lot about how printers work and how to maintain them and that’s important. above all, the important thing is practicing fusing stuff! if u put the time in sanding, fusing, etc, you’ll get much better products even with a small printer. you’re probably gonna have to fuse anyway even if you get a bigger printer

Well a working omnitrix is, well, rather hard to make as I don’t think we have access to technology that changes a human into an alien at will then can transform them back.

[@darkshock42mlg05]

in some cases you may need t scale the parts down just a little bit. i wanted to print a metro cop helm from hall life 2 for cospaly but the paticular file i have has it too big. to remedy this i scaled everything down to 95% i then used epoxy and sanded and painted. i ,pstly wnted to get rid of the scarring and the cross sections. imdont care about the layer lines. i also had to print the stun baton in sections as well its just too long and again I epoxied it.

Any tips if you want to do "dynamic" cuts. For example you want to cut out a something/ portion that has a pattern that you won't be able to combine without it being noticeable. But the edges of this patterned section might be rounded. Hope that makes sense. Is there a tool that allows for freedom to cut/slice anything?

I wonder if this method could be used to cut up Warframe tennogen models to make life sized suits similar to your Iron Man one. The only issue I've been running into when playing with the mesh of those models is they are mostly solid once you separate the shells for the head and torso. I want to make these into ball joint action figures but it would be way more awesome to do up a whole frame as a cosplay.
