Head Form/Helmet Stand - Digital Pattern for EVA Foam

[@VetsrisAuguste]

Finally!!! A video tutor who can clearly articulate the necessary steps of a process without the additional white noise of garbage speech and redundant mumbling. This illustrates how a few carefully chosen words are much more useful to the listener than a blow by blow commentary on everything that’s happening. Despite the superlative quality of the object being made and shared in this video, I think the best part of the presentation is a thoughtful approach to the script. Judging from this tutorial, I can tell this instructor has more to teach than how to make cool things. I look forward to learning more from this instructor.

[@steeleish]

bill you're an absolute blessing for making this and even making the extra steps for other head sizes. this is a godsend and i can't thank you enough.

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

You're so very welcome!

[@halbertwalston]

This is one of your side projects that I'm so glad to see come to life! I recently settled for one of those craft store heads, but was having to follow that tip in Britt's video clip for essentially padding the skull due to the dimensions.

[@LiterallyRyan_Gosling]

Finally something I can use for my cosplays, I'll just print it out bigger than my head and then cut off some pieces, add on other stuff and wear it

[@kathylonniezahn5066]

This has been the easiest to understand head form diy video yet and the one i'm going to try for myself. Thanks for all the info!

PUNISHED PROPS: ALWAYS AHEAD OF THE CURVE.

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

I see what you did there, Dan! :D

[@DragonmasterKeel]

@@PunishedPropsExtras what about if my head is bigger then 23 inches?(mines somewhere around 24-26 inches)

[@TheAsalibby]

Thanks bill. Miss you guys.

[@Mad_Monkey]

Great to see another Punished Props video again! i feel like its been forever and a half!!

[@DonFassbender]

Thanks for sharing, Bill. This is going to save me some head aches 😀

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

Excellent! Have fun Don! =D

[@PJSproductions97]

I'm making one of these right now, and hot tips: Be generous with that 40° bevel Start with assembling from that group of cutouts, they suuuuuck to get slot together after when everything's coated in contact cement

[@LizTheWonderGirl]

Thanks. This is very cool. I've made five heads to the exact sizes of my bandmates heads, and I'm building them hideous, goat-demon Krampus heads for an upcoming polka show. In building these heads, ranging from 22 to 24 inches, I've found that your printing instructions are in error. The purported 23" head turns out to be 24" (three times in a row). The supposed 22" head builds at 23". And, the instructions for the 21" head really do make for a 21" head. I hope this helps some one else avoid all the late-stage modifications that I had to do. Cheers!

[@josephfarrelly7696]

That head form is so cool. I will definitely use it while making foam helmets

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

Perfect!

[@marvinminott2807]

Loved this video! Do you have any suggestions for Full face mask? Should I do 180 instead of 360?

[@blakegreen82]

Would you fill the inside with expanding foam?

[@Gisburne2000]

I'm 6'9" and have a massive head - it is 25" around. From the other percentages it looks like you're doing circumference divided by 23, so I'd be 108%. I'm sure I should be able to work the printing out somehow, probably by printing one 108% page onto multiple pieces of paper. Having such a big head is why I can't buy standard prop heads, so this will be enormously helpful. Thanks!

[@cottonaw]

Did you do this? How'd it work out for you?

[@jamiespeechley3621]

Thank you so much this will be very helpful, i have been having issues finding some the right sizes for my children & myself

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

You're welcome! :)

[@mikaerav.9473]

THANK U, I REALLY NEED IT FOR MAKING A WIG 🥺

[@williamgallo868]

You are brilliant. thank you.

[@mattstew6078]

Dude...we have the same size head...whoa dude

[@eliottpalvadeau842]

Gonna try making it with something else than foam, like cardboard or something. Will be very useful to make patterns in 3d

[@rafalmarkowicz6344]

Issue sorted out so quick Thanks

[@rafalmarkowicz6344]

Thanks

[@justaidiotwithaphone2782]

This will be helpful in the future

[@gustonzimasheen]

Thanks for the heads up on this video!

[@Bakamoichigei]

Great video as always, Bill! I'm definitely going to be making one or two of these!

[@simonwebz]

Please make one of a torso

[@coregeek]

Getting a head start on tomorrows vid I see! 😜

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

You know it! :D

[@damienbrand9422]

Thank you team!!

[@hardiehardley]

Would this be suitable for mask making, not just helmets?

[@Justrex01]

Snap! And people have already made all of the head jokes I was going to use. Well.. at least by making them myself, I won't be getting scalped! Thanks, Bill!

[@WoManticore]

I love this! Will you be adding a shoulder up base? That would be awesome!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Such a useful video. Great idea. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@albertroswell]

how do you apply glue on the ear?, in the video it looks liike the part of the edge that is exposed does not have glue, how does this work?

[@VincentGonzo]

Question: What if I have a 24" or 24 1/4" head?? What would the best print scale be?

[@SthrnAllStar]

What TPI do you suggest for your bandsaw blade?

[@beckymurphy4714]

Bonus is that you can stab things into it. I mean...pin parts to it to see how they'll fit/look.

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

That's so true!

[@zep909]

Love it!

[@albertroswell]

awesome!

[@maskaradotv155]

Too sad i can't afford that but i love your design i swear

[@barbaravaldonio1542]

Ottimo pattern, sarebbe stato comodo avere anche una pagina con la miniatura dello schema di montaggio per non dover seguire sempre il video. E' vero che ci sono le lettere di giunzione ma non fa male sapere da prima come dovrebbe essere composto nella totalità.

[@IDMTB3D]

Fun to see content dropped here. Is it going to be a Mando helmet Monday? :)

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

...could beeee :D

[@hardiehardley]

Can anyone suggest a material to fill it? Make it a little more solid?

[@adamage1980]

what glue fo you use?

[@richieboon1119]

It would be cool to use the pattern to make a EVA foam Michael myers mask

[@yinkaadeniji8812]

Seriously been looking for something like this for a while. Didn't want to sit around to make a mold of myself...who has the time. Plus I can make several of them! One question, can you fill it with expanding foam to give it more strength or something else?

[@piercekadrielvincentgarcia1674]

Nice

[@rafalmarkowicz6344]

Impossible to purhase your pattern. ZIP code required to order. Digits only to be type in. My post code has letters as well. Can you do something about it please

[@hidden_hydra]

What about printing on A4 for us non-Muricans? :(

[@mikemcdonald7441]

What pen are you using to Mark the foam.

[@samuelsuddath5303]

I have a large head, at closer to 25", how much should I scale this up? Another 10%? I assume that for your other helmet patterns they are scaled to fit your 23" head as well, and will require a similar scale-up?

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

Yeah scaling it to 110% should do the trick.

[@MadMajor1000]

what if the head you need is larger than 23 inches? mine is 24 inches so set the size up a little hoiping it comes out the correct size . thank you for this option

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

For 24”, scaling the pattern to 104% should be the correct size.

[@MadMajor1000]

Thank you. I set it for 105% so should be close.

[@ylqr]

Hi! This is wonderful! Do you have this digital pattern available for A4 size? Thanks!

[@anikun]

what if someones head is bigger? wouldn't it be appropriate to also include scale up calculations?

[@_oldscool_]

pretty simple math. put your head measurement and divide by 23 to get the scale

[@1991andresc]

how can I buy it? I'm from Ecuador

[@beep6202]

I bought this, and love it lots. But I have a question. Any idea what size you’d need to print it out for a 24” head? My head is really big ;-;

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

At that scale, you may need to employ some trial and error to figure out how large to print it.

[@thepunslinger1536]

Does the thickness have to be 0.5 inch ?

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

No, it should work with a variety of similar thickness foam sheets.

[@cottonaw]

What do you do if your head is 24 inches in circumference?

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

I've updated the product to include sizing information for larger heads.

[@cottonaw]

@@PunishedPropsExtras Nice! Just bought the plans. How hard is it to scale up the Mandalorian/Boba Fett blue prints ?

[@papamatt6319]

In French: non de l'appli ? Svp En Anglais Pleas nam application ?? merci

[@rech4076]

Hey..I love this. I already bought the set so this will be extremely helpful. One question though: I saw there were measurements for smaller heads. How should I go about it if my head is bigger than 23 inches? (mine is almost 24" circumference)

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

You can print it out at 104% size and it should fit a 24" head.

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

when my next paycheck comes, i know the first thing i'll get

[@lasarith2]

Bills lifecast, always reminds me of Brian markinson for some reason 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@joehartman5543]

How does one change the scaling on a print?

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

When you try to print the document, you should get some print options, including changing the scale from 100% to a custom size.

[@travismcgee9333]

what if our head is larger than the 100%?

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

The pages can be printed a bit larger than 100%, though it might take some math to figure out just how large you think it should be.

[@andresjeronimoma5249]

How can u download free the templates?

@@PunishedPropsExtras thanks pal

[@trebledroid]

You could also use makehuman and either 3d print a bust of a head or use pepakura to make a pattern for foam or paper reinforced with fiberglass or something.

[@steelraven1770]

Has anyone tried to adapt this pattern for thick leather? )) I'd love to make a creepish version of this! Will call him Mr Stitch, probably...

[@McNamaraHerp]

What about us fat heads?

[@JoshGoodin]

I know the head is cool, but what about making a full body. Basically a mannequin

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

That would be really handy, for sure!

[@JoshGoodin]

@@PunishedPropsExtras if you do this video, then I thank you SO MUCH

[@JoshGoodin]

@@PunishedPropsExtras in my opinion on materials I was thinking PBC pipes for the skeleton, 3D printed joints for pose, weights on the feet to keep it steady, and the same foam as the head was made for the outside of the mannequin

[@filip8985]

this pattern is great, just i had some issues as american 'letter' size paper is very different to australian 'letter' size, its basically equivalent to A4 (when an aussie letter size is A5, half of A4)

[@PunishedPropsExtras]

Hello! I've updated the product to include an A4 sized printing option.

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@jayperz]

well my obsession with making helmets is about to get way worse

[@stegmorr8670]

What if u made them big enough you could slip over your head. Thatd be really creepy lmao

[@stegmorr8670]

Of course youd need a hole where the nose is to breathe
