How I Made Dr. Fate's Helmet | 3D Printed Cosplay Mask |

FATE HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!! After putting this build off for WAY too long I finally pulled the trigger on it! My biggest problem was that GOLD! But I did it!
In this video I'll be showing you not only how to 3D Print this awesome helmet, But how to get a beautiful GOLD paint job on cosplay helmets! This was definitely tricky to do but luckily I've already tested this gold paint before a long time ago in a far away land.
Many methods I show in the video can be applied to a variety of different projects so I hope you learn something new!
Enjoy!

[@colorlesscrayon9428]

the gold eyes amazed me, I was so surprised when he turned the lights back on and it just dissapeared and then back off and it was just so reflective

[@thecyberhobbit]

Another great build Frank! Dr Fate was the best part of Black Adam.

[@wisemoments9542]

It took me a minute to watch this, but I like the helmet with the shades on because it's like you're not at full power, it's more like you just walked in the room.

[@charlesfowler3464]

Love the gold eyes

[@Jeffr3yButl3r]

Gold eyes are legendary

[@MadShamanLodur]

I've used alclad aqua gloss over molotow chrome and montana gold chrome to great effect. If you give it 3 or so days to fully cure before clear coating and build it slow it works really nicely and keeps the mirror finish. Love the videos!

[@army310]

second this its what i use for mini painting

[@deeznuts23yearsago]

Theres many methods and it’s mostly what works best for whoever is building it For me Montana gold works best as I’m from the uk and don’t have room or money for an air compressor

[@legofreak4092]

I'm more of a fan of no gold tint on the eyes because of a preference for comic/film accuracy, BUT the gold tinted eyes still looks absolutely amazing. Good job on the build, love the work.

[@laminateBricks]

I think it would have looked better using black window tint

[@alex.drinks.water.]

Love this, the quality of your vids continues to skyrocket frank! Keep up the good work!

[@Grimthrxx]

the gold tint on the eyes is such a nice touch to the helmet, my god.

[@JonathanCase12345]

So glad I was able to give you the gold idea! Turned out amazing as always

[@williamhill1580]

Absolutely love the time lapse! Super clean! Love the videos! Your doing amazing!

[@ezekielwheeler1912]

That gold turned out incredible! Great job.

[@masonl87]

Those gold eyes are RAD AS HELL!!!

[@darthhyrum1639]

I personly love the gold and I really love how when the eyes are on they are a bit reflective.

[@wallacereed9911]

I love this helmet so much and you did a fantastic job on it, keep at it 🎉

[@masonman2851]

That is a awesome helmet, Doctor fate is one my favorite characters, and that helmet is insanely accurate, I love this

[@mlubecke]

Turned out amazing…. The gold tinted eyes are perfect 👍

[@3Dprintingviking]

I've been waiting for this for soooooooo long! Thank you sooooo much so excited for this!!!

[@Canard3D]

My man Frank being one of the most awesome 3D printer here sharing what he knows and love is at it again... Making another awesome video.

[@illusionix252]

Thank you for the knowledge on gold chrome.. i really need it

[@The_Meme_Almanac]

I have been waiting ages for you to make a video on this helmet! I have seen it in the background and it looks great

[@mikemccabe2758]

Those gold eyes are great, thanks for another great video.

[@HypnicJerk1]

LOVED this build. Thanks for sharing

[@olivariousmillier5103]

I have been waiting for this video forever, thank you

[@sahttr_5097]

One of the Best characters of DC

[@GregoryHaynes]

Another great build 👏! I think the gold tint looks the best 👌 👍!

[@mysterynerd3591]

Ooh been waitin on this since the Instagram posts

[@MostLikelyPeterParker]

Another BANGER of a video from good ole' Honestly Constructed!!

[@camtron1967]

That helmet looks stunning

[@Itz_Collei]

It’s my birthday today and I love all your videos. I’m really happy you posted on my birthday even if it was just by chance, Thank you so much!!😊

[@skyrider4789]

Nice job Frank. Go for the 100% with the clear. I know you can do it! 🙂🏁👏

[@CrushedParadise]

I love this style of video. Glad you decided to start making these!

[@CrushedParadise]

with the gold eyes, btw

[@christopherbaez7282]

This looks so good!💪🏼🔥, honestly Frank well done!👏🏽👏🏽💯 ...now i want Dr.Fate costume 😂. Kudos!

[@anthonypoole4025]

Love your content Frank! Thanks to your videos I've been able to start a cosplay business from my house using rattle can paint 😎

[@jtyoung706]

That helmet turned out sick!

[@Ichiashi]

Awesome job man looks great.

[@PrintedByJohn]

The helmet looks so great. I made my own Mando helmet and it looks so good.

[@amithrajpal8792]

Thank you for this. Not sure if you saw my comment to your question on IG but this is really what I was looking for. Thank you Thank you!!!

[@TMad_3D]

Wow!!! Just amazing, man!!

[@Rickysuave97]

Can i suggest using a 2k automotive clear over the gold. I think maybe it would look more true to the gold you wanted. Also it’s going to be pretty hard just like a car paint job. and you can even polish and ceramic coat it

[@livmor3442]

Goes without saying but amazing work. Keep it up. Big fan

[@kaylaambriana1101]

I love the gold eyes 🤩

[@TSOCrypto]

Have you tried pledge floor gloss? I know Barbatos Rex uses it over some chrome without issues. Or maybe Vallejo polyeurethane gloss varnish.

[@Blackbird9070]

That looks epic!

[@tonygangi1624]

Fantastic look on this...the reflections you're getting off of it are stunning...think you could do a video on the creation of a painting/clean room?

[@ethancarpenter2999]

I've had this helmet printed for a year and have been waiting for someone to post something like this cause I couldn't find a solution for the gold that I liked this is so awesome

[@logansellars8377]

When you’re doing the gold it’s called building sheen with multiple coats. Some paints build sheen at higher thickness

[@FranklyBuilt]

Thank you! Didn’t know that

[@gilbertrodriguez85]

Frank, Thank you for all of the awesome content. Your videos have helped me progress in prop making. Could you share the link for the LED eyes?

[@bobbyg8474]

Definitely golden eyes

[@kulayolivete4942]

Soo good love your vids mask looks real 😊

[@jetjoe9646]

Damn I want the big helmet! Lol nice video man

[@thething123789]

I absolutely love it show, and all the builds you make, have to done any of the Star wars helmets? Or Spawn's helmet? Would be awesome to see, keep up the amazing work!!!!

[@jpage5303]

With the gold yes tbh or any color like green would be cool too.

[@jacobsylvester970]

now you have to make the gold eyes on Starboost😂

[@jasoncaballero7931]

The Helmet came out really nice. Use a calligraphy cap with the Montana can, you get a much better finish. Have you tried liquitex gloss varnish, through an airbrush. It doesn't harm the finish and you can rattle can clear on top of the Liquitex varnish.

[@titusdodd3588]

Love the eyes

[@OmarAlAhmari]

Nice helmet! Try chrome window tint for the eyes I think it would look a bit better

[@Za_Ghost]

that is insane i Love it i wish i will be like you one day

[@mrsfgogo09]

A good way to protect it without clearcoating it is ceramic spray wax

[@rossmaclean2]

Looks amazing! it would be great to get your opinion on using conductive spray paints and then electroplating helmets.

[@ihatepeople2335]

Frank is a cool dude.

[@E3TCREATIONS]

Hey Franky. Saw your Dr Fate TIKTOK and here I am.........a new subscriber.

[@trippfreeman5978]

Frank this was an awesome build i would also love if you built a hulk buster armor because the hulk buster armor has been my absolute favorite since I was a kid and I would love to see it come to life

[@Cosking999]

Bro I love you work, its coming in handy for my White dino thunder ranger stuff. However I must ask, where did you get the hellbat file from thought?

[@michaelgarcia5680]

“It is difficult for a lord of order or chaos to maintain a presence on the physical plane.” -Dr Fate/Nabu(aka bully, killjoy, and geezer)

[@Gamezonewt]

Would electroplating make it look better or more metallic?

[@mikeboyle6693]

Fabulous build. Do you have the LED eyes link? Couldn't see it in the info. Thanks, pick up so many tips each time.

[@Cosking999]

You are really inspiring me to do the damn thing bro! This Is The SHIZZNET

[@cheezit6564]

This is sick

[@collind7215]

Just curious, have you tried sanding and polishing with an automotive grade polishing system (I know you mentioned polishing with the Iron Man helm on the clear coat)? Might be worth a shot to get rid of some orange peel in the gloss black base stage (I just don't know if the gold would stick at that point?). Helmet came out amazing though!!! What printer would you recommend between FLSun SR, Sovol SV03, Sovol SV06 (smaller need more prints but comes with an all metal hotend)? I want to use it to print useful stuff for around the house but also for getting into cosplay stuff like you do. Any advice would be appreciated!!! :) Thanks for everything you dooooo

[@gibbshouse]

Great video!! I want to add 3d printing to my hobby list. I'm looking at a Elegoo Neptune 3 plus or Elegoo Neptune 3 max. I want to build helmets like the Doctor Fate one. Can this be one shot printed on the Neptune 3 plus or should I "Future proof" with the Neptune 3 max?

[@stanleydegraef4442]

I've been thinking to add goldleaf on some 3d prints, might look nice on dr fate.

[@seekertosecrets]

10:59 I want to invest in a clean room, but I don't have the room for it! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 15:58 Again with the window tint... And I thought I would have to step away from that idea. 16:57 I like it better with out the gold eyes.

[@williamhill1580]

Gold eyes!

[@jean-sebastiend.2145]

Hi, just saw this video, thanks alot, for I am thinking of doing a Doctor FAte cosplay. I was thinking of using gold leaf for it. What would be your thoughts on that. The gold you used does look very nice, but I think gold leaf would really take the gold look to an other level. thanks JS

[@justingilliam289]

Would a print like this be better on your CR Max or Cr10 pro v2? Or is the 5plus the better option?

[@gregoryhall2967]

So when it's time for the gold it's all done in one process as far as starting with a dusting and gradually work up to final wet costs? Not letting it dry in between?

[@mab4110]

A little foam padding will save the 105% fit I would think.

[@brendanneff2444]

Hey I have a question, I’m making coasters and I have them 3d printed but there is like an outer wall so I can fill in the design with resin. But that makes it really difficult to make it easily sand able, do you have any recommendations?

[@Dragonaut72]

one tip i remember hearing about 3d printing helmets is to print them upside down, that way it uses less filament on the supports

[@FranklyBuilt]

Not always true. Also makes post processing harder

[@dragonking5638]

The gold eyes are awsome

[@Owen.3D]

How 11h ago?

[@ThatVideoGuyTom]

This is completely awesome. If anything I really want a giant printer now. Will you link to the AliExpress eyes?

[@DexAMDgame]

hey frank, are you doing more videos for the FLsun V400?

[@tylerkister4628]

Would the sanding/priming technique work for any mask

[@bobjohnson6131]

im looking to get into 3d printing. Would you be able to recommend the best value 3d printer? This is mainly for armor cosplay making but i also don't want to overkill and get a super expensive 3 d printer.

[@Jack5822]

I know nothing about sorry painting armor, but would a high gloss protective wax work at all?

[@crixtionn]

Awesome helmet! How would I add a visor like the LED eyes in this for a larger visor? I'm making a Titanfall pilot helmet and the visor is a bit more complex and larger so LED eyes like the one shown in the video aren't an option. The ones in Titanfall are white and turn blue when powered on. How do you think I can implement that in my helmet?

[@jacksplicer0292]

Awesome

[@camtron1967]

Frank do you still have the old Dr gate helmet that you have had in videos from a while ago

[@LivingLambeaux]

I used Montana paints for my Boba Fett helmet, and love it, but nothing Chrome like that. Makes me wonder if you can use for C3PO!!

[@fin8967]

Bro turned into deathstroke in spraying the helmet 💀

[@scotc.etling4666]

Do you have any instructions on the standins for your Iron Man Suits?

[@RagingRobo]

What computer or laptop would you recommend for 3d modeling

[@DiyintheGhetto]

Hello, Where did you get the 3d files from? We have the same size. Can you please tell me what settings to scale it at?

[@hoyabun]

great painting on Dr Fate helmet, with a spray paint I'm impressed, do you do the technique of heating the spray paint with hot water at 30-38°C a graffiti artist's trick, it's for a better grip

[@gagemesser6715]

Day what feels like a 100,000000000 of asking Frankie Built to make doomguy's predator suit from Doom Eternal

[@camtron1967]

Praetor suit not predator

[@camtron1967]

Am I the only one that watches the videos all the way through even though I know how to do everything to make the project 😅

[@Azurko]

What do those eyes look like from the inside? They look like they'd be bright enough to blind you during prolonged usage.

[@DomadraghiCosplay]

Wow, that's amazing! Can I ask you what is the brand of the gloss black spray can in this video? Thank you!

[@FranklyBuilt]

Krylon

[@primus1873]

i like goooollllddd!
