Is 3d printing the best new hobby of 2024? Printing Star Wars helmets!

With a growing community of creators, 3d printing is becoming one of the best hobbies to get into! I have been 3d printing for 3 years now and have made over 50 Star Wars props and helmets. Save yourself money by learning how to make cool props yourself!

[@Joseph-ye9fn]

Just be honest, your printing all your armor for your secret clone army

[@chaseonthecase9191]

Got gonna lie, you should start selling custom helmets where people get to customize their paint scheme and you make it and sell it for a reasonable price. You would be making bank. Cause there are so many people that want these but can’t afford a 3D printer while having to pay the bills at the same time

[@Highly-grounded]

How much is a 3D printer capable of making stuff like this?

[@chaseonthecase9191]

Smaller ones can be a few hundred but effective ones for helmets would probably be a couple thousand

[@kingvr-io4jj]

​@@Highly-groundedabout $400

[@user-jb1nr7mf5o]

​Theyre not that expensive at all, I got an ender v10 plus for like 600 and it prints full sized helmets, there's way cheaper options as well you just might have to print like the face, top, and back separately

[@chaseonthecase9191]

@ user-jb1nr7mf5o that’s expensive to me cause I’m 15 😐

[@ByNicola]

These are amazing! So cool that you got them signed too.

[@VJIX]

Awesome work, mate!

[@jaxsoncrenshaw9891]

None of us saw the binders chillin up there 🫡👀

[@loganmars1138]

This is so cool! I’m 50% done with my first big 3D print, a Clone Commando. Pretty stoked to see it coming together!

[@andymoreno3638]

It definitly is

[@bertcockx3748]

I am saving money now for a 3D printer

[@coolbanana1013]

You have me fully convinced! Just bought my first ever 3d printer and I’ve been binging your videos.

[@houndsfan54]

Your KZbin Shorts are working great. Found you through that and this is everything I was interested in when I was like 10. Love all the stuff you make and this might convince me to get into the hobby. Cheers!

[@shockmock99]

I would 100 percent purchase one of these

[@Sw1ftonline]

Favourite yt!❤

[@Goodsoldiersfolloworders595]

I feel this man could make some cool Warhammer shit

[@fmesCC-3636]

can you show us what you use (3d printer, fillament , visors, paint) and were to get it that would realy help me to get startet in the hobby👍😁

[@viperbuzzard01h84]

im trying my best to get into it, im having issues with my printer and seeing whats a good program to make models in, maybe i can try and make something i havent seen yet, like armor from command and conquer tiberium wars, i was thinking of a nod soldier outfit or GDI, whatever comes first ^^

[@TheColombianSpartan]

Okay so im gettung into it. Just bought ny first printer and i am hella excited Got any tips for me, 3d printing veterans? Things i could use to model stuff, scale armor etc.

[@TableShelf]

I've got a 3d printer, but its quite small and its got a 15 by 15 centimeters build area. Trying to figure out how im gonna make clone helmets (or buckets haha), will probably have to glue/screw parts of it together. Love this channel!

[@LayersonLayers]

You’ll need to cut them up (I’d recommend meshmixer) then glue them together

[@Lightboxy2]

It's definitely possible! I used a video from Galactic Armory to learn how to slice it kzbin.info/www/bejne/b161XomioLWhj7M for my smaller printer. Make sure the bed is as level as possible, or else things don't match up

[@TableShelf]

​@@Lightboxy2 Thanks for the tips! Will certainly try using this method :D

[@jeantalus5686]

Very impressive collection !!! How call you the type of clone helmet like UCLA helmet?

[@MasterlinkX69420]

When is your next long-form video?

[@sawsaurus2779]

Where'd you get the p1 arf file? love the vid btw

[@GrimdarkCrusader20th]

One hundred percent agree, I'm currently working on building a full mando armor kit on my SV01 pro. It also serves double duty for my college's 3d printing club. Just out of curiosity what do you recommend for post-processing?

[@METAL_PIPE_PRODUCTIONS]

im making phase 1 cardboard clone helmet rn lol

[@DeltaVanguardz]

How do you make them do you have designs?

[@dude8539]

What file did you use for the phase 1 clone helmet?

[@Legomasteryannai]

Can you make a baby yoda clone legion??

[@Flaming-viper]

What 3d printer do you use and hours much does it costs

[@tomcruz22]

Where did you get the print data?

[@grandalf_2693]

what settings do you use for printing?

[@user-dk3zo3hm2p]

Yo, what printer would u recommend that can print something that size?

[@Designs033]

what to use for the visor?

[@darkstudios108]

What printer do you have I kinda want a good one

[@cvalerinv]

What do you line the inside with? I have a couple of helmets I printed, but to wear them I basically made a cowl. Is there some material or pre cut lining for this type of thing?

[@Connor_cool]

ware do you get your 3d files

[@Charduza]

Bro I have a 3d printer and been wanting to make Helmets but I can’t print overnight. Is there a solution to stop prints half way and continue it late?

[@IlGattoSteamPunk]

How do i get the 3d model of the helmets?

[@typicalsweat863]

What 3D printer do you recommend? Been looking to buy one and this definitely makes me wanna buy one. All the printers I see are not big enough to print the helmets, thank you.

[@DarkFalconDX]

The k1 max and bamboo p1p are pretty good printers if you want to print helmets. You can also split helmets into multiple parts and glue it together.

[@kingnothing7845]

Helmet dimensions? I have an ender-3 I don’t know if I can make a helmet that size in one build tho I would love to. My bed is 220mm x 220mm x 250mm

[@mayosalman7207]

u ever tried making other pieces of armour

[@SBBhavenz]

What 3D printer is that?

[@ultralemming3044]

how tall are most of your starwars helmets becasue i dont know if a 3d printer who can print 320 cm tall is enough

[@itsamemario7872]

Holy fuck not the signed Ahsoka helmet

[@StarStudss]

Hi me and my dad have been 3d printing for a year now and I found out about you and these helmets but I have a anycubic kobra neo(I think Its called that)and we bought the files and are trying to work on a helmet and I’m asking what th glass on the helmet is and we bought the phase 2 animated helmet files we bought and I’ve been trying t find a way to print on our printer but other then that I really like your helmets and yea.

[@BVM-12]

The faceplate is either a hobart face shield used for welding, cut out and placed in there or an acrylic sheet with window tint applied on there. For me the cheapest option is a covid face shield cut out with window tint applied :). I have a printer with somewhat the same volume so you will probably have to cut your 3d files into smaller pieces. I recommend the program Meshmixer for that. Good luck you and your dad!

[@StarStudss]

@@BVM-12 thanks

[@Lime-my7db]

Can u print the whole helmet at once with that printer? Trying to figure out what printer to buy

[@Cpt_Dreihead]

Hell ye

[@user-eo4wu8ru7j]

bro if you sell oyur helmets i will buy some and you will get a lot of money with it

[@xeno6152]

Ever thought about selling helmets?

[@Kool_monkey]

Why don’t you have more subscribers

[@AlexStiner-qi1ll]

You have done a face reveal now.

[@lego_fan_and_seller9955]

Started August 2023 because of your account 🫡🫡

[@MrCrazyGuy13-tc6ep]

this is sick think it will work with smaller printers?

[@StarWarsguy-eq7wl]

Pretty sure it would work you just have to print them in smaller pieces and then put them together

[@Lightboxy2]

Check out this video, it's really helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5Szgoltfsxgr5o. For slicing up the helmets, this one by Galactic Armory is great as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b161XomioLWhj7M Do make sure your bed is as level as possible though, or else things don't align very well lol
