This FIXES a BIG Issue with 3D Printing Helmets

[@GalacticArmory]

I'm so happy it worked well for you! Thank you for such a great review. I could definitely add that mesh pattern under the eyes as well if you think it would be helpful!

[@benwitten5656]

Omfg that is absolutely brilliant! So much less wasted filament! I 100% support this

[@willpage06]

It would be really useful across all your amazing helmets to help save filament and prints!

[@davedixon2167]

WOW this is such an amazing idea, GA - I'm trying to work on a stylized model based on Mega Man and even test prints have eaten up so much time and filament, largely because of that damn widow's peak. Definitely going to try modeling something like that support mesh in Fusion myself.

[@markmorgan8378]

I would love to see that on all helmets

[@Nicholas_H]

Yes, please add this type of built in support on your helmets- it would make it so helpful!!

[@RyoHazuki224]

That would be amazing if some slicers could just generate a thin support wall or pattern in overhangs like this, like just define from one section to another. I would work for so, so many types of prints that have odd overhangs but you may just need like a small angled support structure, instead of making the support stretch alllll the way to the build plate!

[@figuresix]

Love Galactic Armory. Been a patreon for about a year. Always put out amazing stuff.

[@colinfielder6695]

Very cool, hopefully this is something that can be included in slicer software in the near future!

[@JimmieZ89]

This is something I had to to myself when printing helmets with overhangs like that. I's nice that Galactic Armory is doing this now but I really wish slicers would give you this option to place them yourself just like this example for areas like that.

[@MB-rh3vo]

IIRC you actually can by including a free defined object defined as a support.

[@ThatWillWilkins]

I printed my first helmet for Halloween. I used your sizing guide method to make sure I had a good fit. Saved so much time and filament!

[@stevekay6895]

Oh man! I’m gonna have to try this out now! Great video!

[@Balrog132]

Being able to place something like that in the slicer itself would be fantastic.

[@antonylawrence1422]

This is something chamanleon FX has been doing for while. We won’t get in to in to much but credit where credit is due. Chamanleon FX started this idea

[@IntrepidDawn]

100% I wouldn't expect Aaron to ever acknowledge that.

[@GalacticArmory]

Seems like we had a similar idea to solve a pretty common problem, credit to Josh for trying it before me

[@shanematthews1985]

Yeah that as a support option would be amazing

[@mab4110]

Really excited for slicers pick up on this for a new type of support.

[@3DJapan]

Great idea with that hexagon grid.

[@AstrocyteCosplay]

Such an awesome idea! Way less filament and saves that nose piece failing. Even though I had supported mine well it wobbled and I had to tap it to allow it to finish. Have a layer shift that I will need to fix but at least it still printed. This is a much better idea!

[@claws61821]

There used to be some makers on KZbin who offered amazing tutorials on modeling print in place custom supports that went into detail on how to determine where they were needed, how to minimize material, the best gaps to use to maximize support and minimize adhesion (so that you could just peel them off or out as easily as a raft)...

[@RoseKindred]

I don't print helmets but this will help me design better for supporting tabletop terrain. Thank you.

[@andxperia2274]

Drinking game idea - every time uncle Jessy says "run off and print" take a shot :D

[@UncleJessy]

🤣

[@jessemarshall7176]

What filament is that? It looks amazing!

[@ObeyWannTK6960]

GA makes amazing files. I'm building a Post Imperial kit with their files right now. Love them!

[@ValTek_Armory]

I love using the burnt titanium filament as well! Looks like yours could have used a bit more heat to get a shinier surface!

[@djdxb]

Flashforge is the most under rated felament brand fosho

[@Invaderjason123]

More creators should be adding in built in supports. I'm printing a R5 Droid and Michael Baddeley has some ingenious methods for his built in supports.

[@ItsDaPlumber]

@4:00 Jessy, as far as the helmet sizing ring goes. When you load a new helmet, just stop the printer after 5-10 layers and remove the ring and check. been doing that for years

[@Pyromancers]

I feel like the top of the helmet would turn out better and require less filling to clean up with a bit of adaptive layering. Starting to do .1mm layer height as it gets to top and finish on .05mm layer height at very top where the stepping becomes very noticable. I think I will be doing that in my future helmets. nice work and thanks for putting this honeycomb inbuilt support concept on our radar. I like Galactic Armory, but I really am loving Pew Pew Crafts helmets. Should give 'em a look if you haven't already.

[@WonHaungLo]

I agree that would be an amazing support design that should be in a slicer program

[@zadianvwhgaming]

as someone who's been making metal filament 3d printed helmets, this'll be nice to use from now on

[@hybrispsycho1]

Wheres your elegoo neptune 4 plus video o and profiles?

[@BooshmanLee]

This.

[@TheNextDecade]

I haven’t had a chance to print the new file yet, but that looks absolutely amazing. It would be really cool if more and more slicers could have some thing like this, where these a grid that we can place in certain areas as support instead of just using their basic supports. Galactic Armory is really cool I love those guys. Theyre onto something great there.

[@ChristianRocker]

the helmet slice guide thats included is GOAT level stuff

[@MMsPropShop]

It was pretty disappointing to see Galactic Armory take credit for this idea after ChamanleonFX and other designers had been working on perfecting the concept for a while now. I hope in a future video appropriate credit can be given to the original makers of this excellent idea. It’s also not just a case of unknowingly coming up with a similar idea. There have been multiple mentions of shady business practices behind the scenes from other creators. Has definitely deterred me from ever wanting to promote GA’s work on my channel again.

[@GalacticArmory]

It's kind of funny to read comments like these, that are all secondhand rumor and gossip so far from the truth. It comes with the territory of success though so I'll do my best to ease your concerns! I had to actually go back and look up Josh's work to find what you were referring to. Finally found it on page 7 of his Sabine helmet! Yes it looks like we had similar ideas on how to solve a common problem 4 months apart. Coincidences do happen of course and I think it's pretty obvious to see they are totally different approaches. As far as the "other creators" go, I'm not sure what they said but have always run GA as honestly as I could! If they have problems with me they're always able to message me directly about it, but I think it's telling that I have no idea who you're referring to. It seems like you've already made up your mind about me based on conversations with others but my DMs are always open if you want to chat about any concerns you have directly to me!

[@labiq1896]

Weakness is if you scale it up/down, the integrated support too will scale along with it but its just some minor waste so no problem (unless you have a bad cooling settings when printing the small hexagon parts)

[@rbuyna]

Thank you for posting a link to the filament, it looks great but it wasn't on the elegoo site.

[@benwitten5656]

I have printed and loved so many of the galactic armory helmets because i believe they are the absolute best source for starwars 3D files, but this just makes me want to make more!

[@3D.Craftsman]

Damnn that's clever! Will certainly add this idea to my models going forward!

[@ratchetz]

This is a great idea! Galactic Armoury does an amazing job with their files, this is definitely the next level for them.

[@thomashutter5499]

Why I have never thought of that. Just Slice the helmet and check if it fits 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I wanted badly to print a helmet for fun, but always thinking if it will fit on the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro. Now I just can tray in 20min. Thank you …

[@ELF_Minor]

wow thats such a cool idea!

[@TheLuciano1806]

Can't wait for slicers to implement something like this. It's a very simple solution, don't know how nobody did it before

[@thinkdunson]

i'm just going to run off and check these files out. maybe i'll run off and print them later. thanks for running off and making this video.

[@beng2736]

Man, how do you find all these high quality 3d models? I've been searching for months as all the major markets are filled with low poly cartoon content. Thanks for bringing me Wicked and Galactic armory! Maybe do a video on some of these smaller sources!

[@UncleJessy]

Well to be fair... part of my job is to spend time hunting for cool makers and files to print & show off ;)

[@M385M]

​@@UncleJessy you liked some of my designs on twitter, and we talked on FB before, i would love to sponsor this chanell any way i can, the content here is awesome :) wher can i reach you to talk more ? :)

[@REDxFROG]

You have to buy them from people who don't even own the rights to sell these protected designs.

[@AlbertoMartinez765]

Thats Amazing!!!

[@Phodis]

What a brilliant idea!!... can any current printing software do this at the moment???... it'd save sooooo much time and material for so many files!

[@SevenInSoft]

did you finish the giant magneto statue yet?

[@ovs_cosplay]

Hi Jessy, Just want to point out that you dont even need to take the hexagon down. If you are going to put a visor/lens anyway

[@nonononononononon5478]

take a shot every time Jessy says.. run off .... 4 mins later... WHERE THE FUCK AM I!?!?!>!>!>>!!?!?

[@chadsine3814]

Such a great idea! That point always fails on me too!

[@WF3D]

Thats genius

[@jasonjulian1]

it’s a brilliant addition to the file that solves a common problem. but couldn’t you take the same helmet file and import it into a resin slicer like Chitubox or lychee, manually add resin supports, thicknesses and diamete adjusted to be compatible with FDM nozzle sizes, and then just save and export that supported file as a new STL?

[@Suzukirider]

That just sound like tree supports with extra steps

[@Wasser-fz9ub]

Would you suggest to take the X1C or by now the P1S is the best choice?

[@mastalock]

Couldnt you take a file with that pattern and do per model settings "print as support"?

[@kajn3206]

I also like having this patent in the entire visor would be interesting

[@JustNice980]

It would seem Elegoo has removed the galaxy black from the listing you posted. I saw it day of this videos launch, but it seems to be gone now.

[@byronhaversham6238]

Is this filament damaging to the nozzle?

[@wekkimeif7720]

I ordered P1P from Germany to Finland on 1st of November, but it has been in limbo between Bambulabs and DHL ever since. Been 3 weeks now and it still has not left Germany to Finland

[@darren990]

very nice

[@BBLX1C]

Thank you so much for this, I am thinking about getting a bigger printer to do those things! Did you mean Bambu lab X1-Carbon? Because the b-roll just showed an X1C😂🤩🤪

[@davidzizza]

I’m sorry, that Mando helmet you printed, that was just a raw print? How did you get it so smooth?

[@animexartist1]

That's such a neat solution! :D ...also, I really hope Elegoo starts selling some of those amazing looking galaxy pla's in EU :D

[@MrMartynwelbourn]

If the Hex-Mesh was slightly inset it would be perfect for reinforcing the visors which would allow you to use cheaper paper thin clear plastic that you could tint and cut to shape a lot easier!

[@BlazeT3D]

Jesse.....How can I lower my ...I guess z axis on the right side? It will absolutely not let me get calibrated because the right side is a little higher somehow.

[@_Mohanned]

Great video! What kind of filament is that? I love the texture. Edit: nvm watched the video, Elgeoo Galaxy Black

[@chleroeyes931]

what a time to be alive !

[@julianopolito]

Hi Jessy ! Completely out of context, sorry, but I believe you see newest videos comments more often. Do you know what vat tanks are compatible with Saturn 3 ultra? Is Saturn 2 vat compatible to 3 ultra? Thank you!

[@itanzasewell3802]

this is sick

[@dvdganon0812]

Can you try to print a helmet with multi layer height feature? So the top is with higher resolution and looks better

[@bryanswift6301]

Elegoo must be out of stock on the Galaxy Black PLA. I can’t find it anywhere.

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Does that fit on your head?? That's not a huge print area and I have never gotten anything big enough to wear...

[@generalgrievous9734]

im guessing the p1s is a fast printer as for the same helmet it would probs take me 3 days

[@dekopuma]

That is a pretty good idea

[@GmanL18P]

Built in supports in designs are so much cleaner.

[@ippaku]

So I need advice I have an unopened Elgoo max 3. Should I sell it and by the max 4 I bought it from ElGoo and just got stuck with not having a space for it now I have a space for it and now I’m not sure I even want to open the box maybe make it to someone else’s thing. Also as always thank you for the video I’m not sure a helmet I could print on my bambu X1C Will fit my fat head but after its current print I’ll see about printing that sizing thing and maybe I’ll make one this weekend. I have over $600 in my shopping cart on Bambu Website because I’m getting a new AMS so I can do eight colors and I’m getting extra parts and a bunch of LED for the lanterns I’m selling. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. Be well be you

[@RonnieBlaze281]

just wait till the slicers start addinh this kinda support option to pick from!

[@therick0996]

Built in supports are GOAT

[@HeroOfTheWeb]

What Is the name of the filament color on the mannequin helmet in the background?

[@GuntherDesignStudios]

Where is the “Run off and print” shirts?

[@REDxFROG]

Sacrificeal supports are an old trick. Always design supports into the model if you can.

[@injectionAI]

i actually would keep that grid on some projects

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

WHat a smooth print. I’m now looking at my printer with fists clenched…

[@nikushim6665]

Not really needed for alot of mando helmets, most people the mercs i have seen just print two piece with cura support blocker on the dome. Since they are generally gonna be glassed or resin coated anyways. Its the Vizla builds people have the hardest time with printing.

[@GaryTabarJr]

What, did you buy all galaxy black? Damned you! LOL!

[@Konman]

This needs to be an option in the slicer.

[@TheVidar42]

I'm just amazed that you only used less than 500g of filament for a full helmet...

[@HeadsWillRoll658]

Neptune 4 plus profiles?

[@B3D]

one ultra sonic knife . cut like butter

[@marcturmel924]

Damn, this is genius!

[@BlackestBeard]

Galactic armory patrons represent! 🤘🏽

[@cchung8001]

Filament looks a lot like Polymaker Color Changeable Starlight Dark Blue PLA.

[@RayZXA]

We need the Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus Orca Slicer Profile for free.

[@yanlucasdf]

bee shape good and bees are hallowed insects confirmed

[@3DLL.]

cool

[@jvsonyt]

"run off and..." "run off and..." "run off and..." "run off and..." "run off and..." "run off and..." "run off and..." "run off and..." "run off and..."

[@stephenkolostyak4087]

why not just flip the model over while printing?

[@ElijahAndrade01]

Uncle Jesse, please help, I dropped my phone and broke the screen on my new Neptune 4 Pro 😭 I just got it like 4 days ago

[@RobertD_83]

It may be an inside joke or something, but what is up with *R U N O F F A N D 3 D P R I N T* ? I've watched several of his videos in the last months and this guy says that *licherally* every single time he speaks about printing anything... Where are you running to? Do you not keep your printer at home? Also I hope whatever happened to your eyelash is curable and wish you a speedy recovery! Ps if that really is some kinda thing and not dye, my apologies.

[@karifaevt]

hexagons are the bestagons

[@agermanboi]

Which printingarea is recommended for printing helmets

[@nerys71]

This is something that's been happening for a while now where the author will build in supports MechG for example make some very nice rockets that are 3D printable and he builds in supports that work amazingly well Now the novel idea of creating a hexagon matrix to make that support is pretty darn cool as well and looks like it's very easy to remove and also big one here produces very little waste this is especially nice when you're using expensive filaments :-) Wear waste just makes you cry Also be careful what finger you're using when you point to stuff on screen some could take quite offense to that :-) hehehe

[@gabrieltherizzo]

Chamanleonfx did it first

[@josephmunson3945]

Why does this guy say run off and print so damn much?

[@Barbasnoo]

Hello UNCLE!!! 😊

[@4140ajj]

With the galactic armory, do they pay Disney to use their IP, or are they eventually going to get shut down by Disney?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Definitely don't pay Disney for their IP.

[@kongchho]

It’s basically an unspoken agreement for cosplay. Disney won’t go after cosplayers because it’s advertising for the IP. But it’s not legal. So Disney can and will shut down people at anytime. But it’s not likely so long as you don’t get greedy and start mass producing these.

[@LordNerfherder]

Please topic your videos correctly. I'm dissapointed by the sheer clickbait nature. Going through your videos in the future is impossible if all videos are called YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. If they instead were called "This support structure fixes a big issue with helmets!" everyone understands the topic. I know this reduces the clickbait, but I dont come here for clickbait. I come here for clarity. And not random clarity. We want specific answers and this video literally CANNOT be found when you need it now because of your lack of substantial subject on the video, completely leaving out what regarding helmets you are even talking about in the video. As a subscriber I am dissapointed in this behaviour.
