[@ciphermatrix]

These turned out great, nice work.

[@cityparkgifts]

Thanks very much, appreciate the kind words.

[@ronsku57]

Underrated video! Keep going!

[@cityparkgifts]

Thank You

Gonna make a Deadpool helmet for Halloween and maybe a Wolverine one for my friend

[@cityparkgifts]

That sounds like an awesome idea the wolverine helmet pieces are separate so should be easier to make.

[@DazDroAnimations]

Is this possible on the ender 3 I think the bed size it a little smaller but I can cut the main head piece in 2 pieces right?

[@cityparkgifts]

I do think this is possible on an ender 3 if you cut the Deadpool mask main body at the eye line you should have two pieces that are a lot easier to work with.

[@KennethRapo]

You forgot to mention you have the layer height profile set to .12 instead of standard .2 But great vid, just bought my first helmet and was looking for slicer settings. Have you tried printing any of the helmets with .2 layer height instead of the .12? Also, the helmet i bought says it's scaled for 24" head, but when I load in the sizing head 3, that's only supposed to be 23.2" it looks like it's to big.

[@cityparkgifts]

Thank you for the comment. I will attempt to mention it next time. I haven't tried printing it at a .2 layer height; I don't believe the quality would be there, but I may be wrong. If you do wind up printing your helmet at .2, please let me know how it works out. Regarding the size problem, could you please tell me what helmet you brought and where you got it so I can look at it.

[@genises200]

Could you make one with statues by chance? Or would this be only for cosplay

[@cityparkgifts]

Absolutely, check out the next video when I upload this weekend.

[@genises200]

@cityparkgifts awesome you rock!Definitely will

[@genises200]

So in short just do the adjusted setting you put? Sorry new to 3d printing

[@cityparkgifts]

Yes, I see no reason not if you have everything I have, including the Bambu printer and studio. Let me know how it turns out.

[@macoyvg]

So why do you use cura for measure and Bambú for slicing ?

[@cityparkgifts]

So I used Cura to measure since I unchecked the option drop down model, which allows me to freely move the model around, but Bambu works differently, and I just prefer Cura for that.

[@mikekiske]

@@cityparkgifts Hi, there. For the spiderman helmet how much costed to you to print, filament wise? Thanks.

[@cityparkgifts]

@@mikekiske So take Spiderman for example each roll would cost about £15.99 which would cost in total £47.97 you will use 597g of the red just over half a roll and then you will use 51.18g of the black and then the white you will use 11.09g . All the extra filament could be used to print something else. This is not including any failed prints or any other issues.

[@mikekiske]

@@cityparkgifts Thanks for the detailed explanation. Exactly what I wanted to know. :o)

[@cityparkgifts]

@@mikekiske Happy to help.

[@sloshedmrbones]

Where did you get the file for the helmet stands?

[@RockyxMM2]

you can probably make your own, recreate the base at the bottom then at the top make it like a mushroom. you can also use servos to make the whole thing spin

[@cityparkgifts]

So I got the stand file from makersworld.com - it's called Simple Helmet Stand with Base Remixed by wallcrawler62

[@RockyxMM2]

@@cityparkgifts that works too

[@pokee9685]

Printing speed?

[@macoyvg]

I rewinded thinking that was somewhere too lol

[@cityparkgifts]

Hi sorry I skipped over that the printing speed is the default in Bambu Studio Initial layer 500 MM/s and Normal printing speed 10,000 MM/S

[@pokee9685]

@@cityparkgifts what!? I dont understand.... max speed for your p1s its 500, so you made the first layer at max, and the rest? 10mm/s? You cant at 10.000mm/s

[@cityparkgifts]

​@@pokee9685 Sorry Pokee, my mistake. I was looking at the incorrect settings. So my initial layer is 50mm/s, my initial layer infill is 105mm/s, the outside wall is 200mm/s, the inner wall is 350mm/s, the sparse infill is 430mm/s, the top surface is 200mm/s, and the slow down for overhangs option is selected. I hope this clears things up.

[@pokee9685]

@cityparkgifts ok, thank you for the correct settings 👍

Your voice is soft and you have the tunes all the way up... Speak up lad!
