How to Add Magnets to your Cosplay Helmets and Masks! | Easy to Wear! |

Ask and you shall receive!
In this video i will cover the methods and materials i used to make some of my Iron Man Helmets have a magnetic removable faceplate!
It's a cool little effect if motorizing just isn't your thing or maybe space is limited
This method can also be used in a variety of other helmets and armour pieces! So get creative!

Just noticed the gauntlet pen holder, that's pretty cool.

[@mobilefiscus]

Love how far your production values have come on in 3 years since you posted this! From a dude that enjoys what he’s doing in his bedroom (sounds dodgy, that…!😉) to what is to all intents and purposes a TV program!. Great job!👏👏

[@aliabolhassani5820]

You are a GENIUS sir! Your videos are so amazing and informative. From one Iron Man cosplayer to another, cheers mate! Well done!

[@vagasea]

Love it, really love how you respond to our questions etc but it’s amazing how much you answer and listen to your “Fans” thanks frankly built❤️

[@NaiveSteve]

This is an older video, but I'm making my first helmet, and this was incredibly helpful! Applying this same technique to the back panel of a batman helmet with a tiny neck hole.

[@5i5i5_RL]

Same here!

[@GrenexPhotos]

I used magnets like that in my original pepakura Iron Man helmet 7 years ago, but i had to glue them in, line them up, etc. This is simply awesome how you use the rafts, heat them to better form the shape, weld them into the helmet, etc. Totally amazed (yet again) by your tutorial! Well done!!!!

[@fuzzyshovel1000]

Thanks for the video! I put these magnets into my mark 3 helmet that I’m working on and it works like a charm!

[@quemeese]

I've been using the neodymium magnets and I rough them up on one side with some sandpaper and use E6000 to glue them in and have good luck with that. of course I don't do 3D print but use EVA foam, so there's that.

[@deeznuts23yearsago]

These magnets Im using in my halo reach armour to have removable parts like shoulders and wrist plates They are very useful since most magnets are weak sliding yet strong to pulling so that dot in the middle makes the only weakness non existent

[@harrisondaines1326]

Thanks man for the great vid, this is really helpful in my armor build

[@AntonsCreations]

EXCELLENT video...wish I seen it before I tried my first helmet 😂 will definitely utilize this for rest of my armor build

[@gettingfitat5015]

Ha! You beat me to it..."YOU'RE" awesome! ;-) Thanks Frank!! Another fantastic tutorial!

[@spartanmc95]

this is awesome, gonna use this technique for my new dr doom mask!

[@babarainbowsheepv2]

Great video!! The helmet is so sick!

[@ImmortalReaver]

Excellent video. I don't have much wiggle room to work with so I'll be using the second idea with the neodymium magnets.

Nice tutorial and good use of those purse magnets. Don't forget to wear a respirator when using that soldering iron to heat up and melt that plastic. You don't want to be breathing that.

[@KurayamiWinter]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Unrelated note, I love the palm armor as a supply holder. xD

[@techsavvyhero]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! Going to get a batch of these purse magnets. Will you be doing a faceplate hinge tutorial as well?

[@FranklyBuilt]

Eventually yeah

[@robpantano463]

As always, a fantastic video! Just finished printing the mk 85 and I'm following your tutorials on motorizing and adding LED eyes. Can you give some insight into specifically how you place the magnets on the jaw to attach to the head piece? I'm finding it tough to get it right. Tried using the 8mm holes that print with the helmet but that didn't align properly. Thanks again!

[@F1NNJA_Industries]

Working on a starboost helmet and maybe suit. Anyway, this will really help

[@schmoobmcfroob2800]

Would it be practical to have this kind of helmet on a full suit? It would be pretty difficult to get enough grip on the faceplate to pull it off when you’re wearing the gauntlets I imagine, unless there’s another trick to it like even stronger magnets in the fingertips or something.

[@philipvaccaro2770]

Hey, have you done a video on removing 3d print supports? Your content is very helpful! Thanks!!!

[@bensonrios9349]

hi thats so cool

[@TheInfamousDKMTR]

do you think this technique applie to body armor connecting the front and back or would that not support movement?

[@Brushwarrior]

great instructional video. Do you have a link for the magnets?

[@germelford6172]

I'm making a helmet that wasn't 3D printed. Do you have any ideas on doing the LED wireless eye method to a helmet that uses a hinge/magnet combination?

[@CarSeatGaming116]

I am new to doing helmets. How would you do magnets on the jaw plate? Is it the same method or is it different

[@Dragonceratops]

if you don't have a soldering iron, could you also use hot/super glue to make the connections?

[@mdein3dcosplayprops283]

Which version is the unpainted helmet? I really like that one, might do that one for an upcoming local con instead of my MK17 heartbreaker helmet I've been working on.

[@mrbobjob8995]

I a big fan I hope I win the contest

[@texastannerite2576]

What do you use for the inside liner for comfort? Having a hard time explaining to amazon what I need lol

[@Spazer454]

what do you use for the eyes can never figure out what to use

[@0nelifeliveit1987]

Whats the best way to print the face plate? I find the automatic rotation means the triangle points are the first thing to print, which keep getting knocked loose after they reach about 1inch high due to the surface are on the bed being too small

[@FranklyBuilt]

I have a video called “how to arrange 3D prints” and it’s about faceplates

[@ahaansingh9188]

Another tutorial already? Looks like 3D printing and your videos might just make this quarantine better

[@waggishmedusa99]

may i ask what size magnets you used for the jaw? i’m having trouble finding them @franklybuilt

[@julianmorales4285]

Another great tutorial, congratulations Frank, too bad I don't understand your language, what kind of material do you use to place the magnets and add them to the helmet by gluing them and shaping it with the heat?

[@FranklyBuilt]

Extra wasted raft material from printing

[@GrenexPhotos]

RAFT. It is a type of 3d print support option you can choose in your slicer.

[@CarSeatGaming116]

And every print I find including the one in the bio doesn’t allow me to snap the chin piece in. The piece with the chin that’s supposed to snap in is connected to the helmet

[@MrSirFluffy]

How thick are your prints? I am trying to avoid the flimsy plastic look, and your thickness seems perfect.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Whatever stock Cura settings set it too haha

[@davidmcmurdo7160]

great tutorial, can i just ask about the black and white helmet as it seems to be sliced different from the other one, is the stl available somewhere or is it one you adapted yourself, thank you

[@FranklyBuilt]

Yeah that’s a larger old helmet from thingiverse

[@jasonpatterson1848]

Hello I was just wondering how do you magnotise a jaw piece please do u add anything to put the magnets into thank you

[@mrbobjob8995]

What lights do you use

[@Tw-mb3di]

super late, but by any chance can this also be used with a motorized version of the helmet? or would the MG90's be too weak to detach the magnets?

[@texastannerite2576]

Building my first iron man helmet (Mk5). Not really a good spot to put magnets for the jaw like the Mk85. Do you recommend soldering it solid then cutting a different area to for better magnet placement? Currently the connection area is a smooth section

[@FranklyBuilt]

That may be a good idea yeah! Look into a foam cutting hot wire

[@texastannerite2576]

@@FranklyBuilt never would have thought of that! Thanks (again!)

[@lightpolebluelamaa4207]

How did you get your face plate so flush mine has so many gaps any ideas

[@LarsBakhuis]

are there alternative magnets? In my country they're weirdly hard to get

[@danielcoombes3310]

Hi Frank, great video as always. Did you ever do a video on how to connect the pieces of a suite when wearing it? I've seen you using clips in other videos and was curious about the best process to hold it all together whilst walking around in it?

[@FranklyBuilt]

Yep! I have videos on it

[@danielcoombes3310]

@@FranklyBuilt I thought you did. Thanks for replying man. Hope all your latest stuff is going well and that you're doing good too. I'll go check out those vids shortly. I'm trying to build a mk85 iron man suit. So far I've done the top half minus the arms 😀

[@Etienne_15]

Hy,iof i put magnets i can also put pieces to open and close the helmet?

[@veryamazingandcreativename]

I’m sure there’s a way you could, with massive tweaking to the design. Currently, the servos connect the faceplate to the head in order to open it, so unless you did something where you put on the electronics and the magnets, undid the servos and then pulled it off, it probably wouldn’t work.

[@3juliano680]

i say just stick the magnets on the arms that the servos move.

[@Wizepunk]

Where can I get the file with the removable jaw on the black and white iron man helmet?

[@thatunknowngamer456]

can this be bought of a certain website?

[@NihadDavudzade]

How much it costs?(only 3d print filament)

Cool video! :D Would it work if we only put one magnet in the middle?

[@FranklyBuilt]

Possibly

[@Jakobkal]

@@FranklyBuilt Hmm🤔

[@KovaiClub]

Is this free model wearable?

[@user-py6sy4zm1v]

Have you ever put like car wax on your helmets or prints to make them shinier? Or any tips to get them shinier besides clear coat

[@FranklyBuilt]

I wax them yeah but it still needs clearcoat before that

[@Highpointdecaf]

Hey man! Great work! Could you show your process for priming and painting the helmets?

[@FranklyBuilt]

To my knowledge in sep3rate videos he says he uses 5% infill for the helmet so id say yes

Hi frank! Do you have a tutorial for the magnetic Jaw?

[@FranklyBuilt]

No because it’s literally the same process.

[@leonardopereira7853]

Got it. I was just wondering if 2 magnets (one each side) are enough for supporting the jaw? Unlike the faceplate(which has a natural support on the jaw), i believe the jaw should kind of weight more..or this is not an issue?

[@infinitycor3]

i have a few questions so i only am going to print the helmet do you have a link to the helmet so i can print it do you also have a link for the raft things you were talking about also where did you get them magnets
