"Is that real Beskar?"

Nah because beskar is so hard to find she used durasteel instead.

I'm honored that you picked my file to print. :) Beautiful job, and great build video! I just uploaded a new Mandalorian rifle build video on my channel, but next on my to do list is to make a more accurate helmet now that there's plenty of reference available. Woohoo!!! :) Thanks again, and really great work on the build. btw- LOVE the idea of the welding helmet visor.

[@kwzon]

Smart move with the removable visor. Great build!

[@jeremylee7761]

I had a couple helmets come out with the same texture on the surface. if you add another wall layer to your print settings it will come out smoother. also filler primer will help with filling in print lines so you have less work by hand. good video. thanks

[@studioofmm]

I figured as much. I’m constantly messing around with settings depending on the job; I must have not set it back to being thicker. It didn’t bother me enough to reprint the pieces though. I’ll definitely have to try some of that primer. Thanks for mentioning it!

[@naturalimagesbyadam]

Thank you for this step by step guide. Your solution for the visor installation is perfect. I have been putting off the install until I could come up with something better than hot glue and this is it!!! Well Done :)

[@DavidWWhite1973]

Nice job! When I have the extra funds, I'm definitely printing one for myself. One thing, for both you and Rob Pauza, to consider is increasing the wall thickness on the dome. The infill lines caught my attention, especially after the shine of the Rub-n-Buff. But, in spite of that, kudos on a great build and thanks for the inspiration (and link) to build one of my own. :)

[@aussiecoastie72]

That’s awesome! Been thinking about making one of those myself. Best of luck!

[@spiderdan2149]

The final result is beautiful!!

[@Armor3dprinting]

The first paint you used is a colored transparent type. It's for tinting rather than coloring. It would add depth to another shade of silver. Over all the helmet looks awesome!

[@beatlesdude3844]

The best homemade mandolorian helmet I’ve ever seen really

[@pobbrett3244]

You probably already know these tips but someone may find it useful, when priming try a filler primer, when painting metallic prime then spray with a gloss black it makes such a difference, for chrome paint there is a graffiti product called molotow liquid chrome which you can buy in refill bottles and put through an airbrush then seal

[@SkinnerNoah]

From the thumbnail I thought it was metal, so when I realized you were using plastic I was shocked. This is a really well made costume piece!

[@Zero_of_rivia]

You should print a support bracket to sit across the chin inside the helmet just behind the lense, will give it rigidity and strength and even create an opportunity to add a voice changer( if you chose to) to get that radio voice he kind of has. Lol well done !!

[@darthmaul3202]

Awesome!!!!!! “This is the way”

[@pirate_jacks]

hi, i see the helmet has an icecream cone patern to it thats the infill showing through, you need to add more walls to the print, and print the walls first before the infill, jack

[@stevenlozano314]

You should look into pcl primer. Its basically spray on bondo its amazing, we use it in my design class to give all our projects basically a plastic coating.

Great tutorial!!, What profile you used to print? standard? rough? high? for example how much time take you to print front side bottom L or R? wich should be the same I just started mine and I want to know if I am going the right way, I can see on yours that some zig zag pattern is shown very slightly and on mine does not. Thanks in advance.

[@AndrewArsenal]

[@geekcollector7228]

Perfect!

[@andrewbruckbauer6901]

If you angle the top helmet plates at a 35 - 45 degree angle you will cut down dramatically on the supports needed/material used - and you get the same quality on the top and inside.

[@teddysworkshop7926]

Great vid

[@bushipop]

love your hearcut

[@sonicwind3763]

This is probably the closest I’ve seen, all the others on KZbin make the helmet too long or too short and they don’t realize that offsets the overall look. Very impressive though, you got my like.

[@justinsignal859]

Hard out, the only thing I thought was "off" (Still looks amazing) was the width of the visor going down I believe in the disney+ version it becomes thinner as it goes down. Another good video if you like accuracy is "TheWeldingGeek" He made the new disney+ Helm out of metal and it looks so good. He's a relatively new channel. Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5KVmqOjjcuai6M

[@dominatorcda7180]

Wow I'm so glad I found your video before the first half of my mando helmet finished! I was printing one of those inaccurate model helmets! D= Also thank you so much for posting this vid! This video has everything I need. Fantastic work on the research! You saved me loads of time.

[@studioofmm]

Something that I don’t notice until after I finished mine (so it’s not mentioned in the video) is the slat pieces on the back are slightly curved. The pictures of the ANOVOS helmet are great for reference.

[@dominatorcda7180]

@@studioofmm Great, more details to get OCD over haha. Where can I find the tools you used to modify your helmet? It looks like you've got different ends for a soldering iron but I'm not sure. I'm still relatively new to this hobby.

[@studioofmm]

Haha, sorry! It’s specifically this hot knife (if you live in Canada/the US, Michael’s normally sells them and you can use a coupon to get it at a really good price): www.amazon.ca/dp/B005P1TRAS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hu.ZDb65HH22Q But I also at some point bought a wood burning accessory kit online for pretty cheap. That ended up giving me a lot of tip options (I can’t find my exact one anymore, sorry!)

[@mickle2me]

[@anonf7770]

Next time if you have more time , sanding the plastic will give it a smoother final look when you go to paint it. Like using 180 grit or finer

[@iviaverick52]

I also found that the Rustoleum Dark Steel paint is the closest looking finish without going the graphite or Alclad chrome route.

[@pumajlr]

Great job! Did you see the guy who made the helmet in foam? You two used similar techniques.

[@zombieslogic8390]

Wish I knew wood filler would work... Glad I do now though thanks :) In canada been making a Boba Fett helmet since March and now it's too cold outside and bondo is well like you said not good for indoors, The mixing and setup time of the bondo is my least favorite part of the entire build. lol I can't wait for it to try so I can work on it but by the time it dries I've lost the desire to go work on it and going back to it becomes a chore. Gonna be picking up some wood filler and my helmet has hope of being completed :D

Hey fellow Canadian 👋🏻 I totally get it. I’ve unfortunately had the pleasure of experiencing freezing temperature helmet bondo-ing 😆

[@ashtonbrown2985]

I could not find the Hobart replacement face shield for my helmet so I went to Office Max and bought one of the clear sheets of plastic and put black window tint on it. Works really well, you just have to watch out for air bubbles.

[@qpfhr]

This is the way... Well done....

[@rodrigotm1461]

How do you scale the model so it fits your head?

[@motherofcrafts8731]

I would check out Uncle Jessy's videos for that.

[@johnpiernicky8674]

if you want a super strong bond for glue, you should use DevCon. You should have a respirator or a VERY good ventilated area, but DevCon is the best on the market. Kinda expensive but worth it!

[@TheSithLibraryArchivesGalactic]

Where can I find that material you used for the visor and how much does it cost? I have a custom Mandalorian helmet I made a couple years ago and the visor I have it in currently isn't the best. It works, but it's not like what you used at all. What you used it far batter and isn't cheap, thin dark plastic (I used a transparent black folder separator I got in school materials at Wal-Mart. It's all I could find that did the trick, but after a few years and use, it's kinda getting harder to see clearly through it. I could really use a material meant to be used for a visor.)

[@studioofmm]

The specific visor I used for this helmet is this one: www.amazon.ca/dp/B002VECKRO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HLaZDb7201DHN But this is the kind I’ve used for all my other helmets: www.amazon.ca/dp/B00209JH1M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9MaZDb56EQT3Q

I actually do use a Raspberry Pi with Octoprint for my printer. It ended up being the most convenient for my printer setup. I actually have a whole video about what I use/why and the mods I’ve made to my printer that explains things in better detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXzcqnman8ShedE

[@AndrejaPopovik]

Really enjoyed this video, one remark that I have is that maybe you should make some additional interior of the helmet so that it is more comfortable to wear and how is the breathing going of the person who wears it? Otherwise from the outside looks wonderful!!!

[@studioofmm]

If I was planning on using it for a costume I would have. It was really just made as a display piece for my studio.

[@AllOutNoobHater]

What would you recommend for doing on the inside in order to properly wear it? I know there are helmet pads you can buy for cheap, but is there anything else you would recommend?

[@studioofmm]

I normally just buy sheets of thick memory foam and create the necessary padding for the inside.
