UPDATE! 3D Printing Helmet Orientation - No Center Support!!

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I missed the original video about helmet orientation, but I've been printing helmets right side up with no internal supports for quite a while. Printing upside down can be a good approach in some cases, but it always leaves the top of the helmet looking rough from the supports. The natural dome shape of the helmet generally means that it will come together fine without any internal support as long as you use enough top and bottom layers, and it takes a lot less time and filament.

[@UncleJessy]

Dude, your life sized JAbba is absolutely crazy. Congrats on getting that all printed!

[@jaysonechoes]

as i start my 3d printing journey...i have to sya, the coolest thing ive come across is without a doubt...ANOTHER SHADOWHAWK FAN! he was my fav for the longest time and i have collected most of the books. cant wait to print this helmet....and maybe the rest of the armor! thanks for getting me even more pumped about this awesome thing called 3d printing!!!

[@NikkoIndustries]

Great video as always my man!! Thank you for the shoutout!!!

[@bruno_satalino1794]

I thought it was wolverine

[@NoahIsNeon]

Same

[@logangrey377]

I thought it was Batman, but now that. You mention it yeah it does look like wolverine.

[@coschoco3]

Same

[@elliotkingaby5312]

Yeah I did as well lol would make a epic wolverine

[@ashfox2012]

Same ha

[@JCPrototypes]

I will certainly will try that next time. I printed my Iron-man Helmet in pieces and I had to glue them together. Thanks Uncle Jessy, you are awesome.

[@BrokenNerd]

Looks awesome! Also this method works great! I’ve been using this for a few months now.

[@UncleJessy]

Broken Nerd the man right here. Yeah, honestly surprised how well that turned out

[@piercepopculturedesigns9380]

Came out beautiful!

[@UncleJessy]

Wilbert Pierce thanks man. Yeah nice and clean besides the nose. Gotta get it sanded and painted

[@djblock4real]

@@UncleJessy can you make me a Spartan helmet?

[@Xtenhobbyden]

I knew it was shadow hawk, one of my favorite 90s heros

[@UncleJessy]

One of my favs from the original Image comics lineup

[@SNO3R]

looks like if Wolverine went to the same helmet shop as magneto, very cool looking

[@UncleJessy]

Yoerie haha I might have to paint one of these in wolverine jim lee colors

[@andrewdowney760]

Great vid What infill and shell count do you use for helmets for nozzle size? I use a .8 to cut print time. I found 2 shells to be abit flimsy with 10% infill. Thanks for the help

[@agepbiz]

Thank you for sharing your methods. How much does the helmet weigh? How much PLA do you save by only using perimeter support?

[@UncleJessy]

Will have to double check the weight. Hollow Support structure vs No center supports was like 6-8 hour difference, Regular center supports was like 10-12 hours saved. Pretty wild man.

[@agepbiz]

@@UncleJessy Wow! 🙂

[@elliotkingaby5312]

Would love to see the how this one looks finished, did you ever do a video on it

[@phiromseng5698]

Going forward will you still use your interior support structure or start using Niko's method of just rim supports?

[@UncleJessy]

Phirom Seng really all depends on the print. If it’s a full helmet like this I will probably do rim only. If it’s a faceshell/face mask I will probably use the support structure still. Awesome to have multiple ways to do things.

[@thehappyextruder7178]

Yup not bad, I used zero center supports on the Flash Helmet worked well !

[@cmjon6380]

This looks awesome

[@Masteryker]

Looks like an awesome alternate version of Batman

[@Jwomack025]

Just printed a Daredevil helmet. I was so shocked how much center support was in the file. Not sure 1 spool will complete the print. 🤦‍♂️😞

[@tuskawilla]

Looks great!!

[@SkinnyTrini04]

Hey Uncle Jesse, I have a Knights of Ren: Monk mask and wanted to know the best way to print it? Love your videos.

[@thacorruptor4472]

Still waiting on that Magneto print !! and what ever happened to it.

[@kwhite8012]

do you have any thoughts on the CR 20? looking to purchase a printer to print a dead pool mask. Thanks!!

[@FrankBendler]

What about the gases and "micro" dust? your melting plastic and pushing it through a nozzle... aren't you affraid of slowly taking the plastic particles into your loung? (copyed this a bit that you actually read this)

[@dnm.design]

What is that printer? Speed? Nice!!

[@10ProduccionesPixel]

Great job, friend. I see you use the zyltech filament brand. I would like to try them and I wonder if these filaments have a lot of brightness or are they more matte? I like the filament matte. I'm used to using esun pla +. What do you think about the zyltech filament? Thank you.

[@michaelellis5024]

Your helmet prints are phenomenal. I just started a Shoretrooper helmet and it's taking forever at a 0.16 mm layer height. Are you printing at 0.2 mm? I'd like to print faster at 0.2 mm but I'm concerned that the surface will be more difficult to clean up and get to a smooth finish.

[@ryankelly7406]

Hi the 3d printer u have on your Amazon page Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer is it good for beginners. Easy to use

[@ovs_cosplay]

Is there any chance to get your supports settings? I keep getting a really hard to remove supports in a way it hurts the print, or getting supports that are easier to remove, but making the supported structure distorted .. So I will really appreciate if you can share your supports setting :)

[@proxximo99]

never 3d printed before ...is there a huge learning curve?

[@krypticvoyce]

I'm new too, watch a ton of settings videos and troubleshooting vids. Once I solve a flow problem things started clicking. Make big things small first to test

[@prabhavathimajji8352]

Hey sir can we use line support or grid support (pattern)

[@3dreamsph188]

hello uUncle Jessy. can you share a settings for en der 3 v2 any kind of mask?

[@JesusSalmeronRodriguez]

Good idea

[@motherofcrafts8731]

I would love the Simplify3D profile for this.

[@charliebowen4232]

Hello @Uncle Jessy - What PLA brand did you use for these prints?

[@UncleJessy]

Zyltech “Uncle Jessy” Gun Metal 😬 link in the video description.

[@cinnap1212]

what kinda filament you used toto you could make that helmet?

[@davemartin_]

it must be something to do with the shape of the nose, im just print the wolverine helmet and its done the same thing

[@disturbedomega1331]

Will this also work for resin based printers?

[@manustark3d533]

Me encanta el casco, buena impresión, enhorabuena.....

[@BiosWars]

Question. How long did it take to print the helmet?

[@kaydawg25]

I tried the support thing. But can’t get it to turn to a stl file. It stays a g-code.

[@armagedonshoes]

What is the ideal layer height for printing helmets?

[@austinhicks8733]

What 3D printer do you have?

[@kaydawg25]

What software can u use. I have mixmesh

[@zergmare7]

What software do you use?

[@elcookiemonsteru]

I´m about to print a Rocketeer helmet....Just split it in 3 parts horizontally...

[@pdsfpv1495]

What is the bed size?

[@picklemagic]

I think your videos are well made but I wish you explained what you did in more detail. I find a lot of your videos fun to watch but at the same time, to new 3d builders, it still leaves you confused.

[@UncleJessy]

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah it’s always a fun challenge to bridge a fun video / informative and not have it be 20+ mins long.

[@dvirthecringe7761]

good video but the music interepted

[@captaingamer68]

First comment and to LIKE I also did the same and was great. No center support worked well and I did some arrangements for the nose and was prefect

[@SlotheusGaming]

I thought it was bat-wolverine

[@justinscott2494]

reminds me of harvey birdman lol

[@trevorbrown5839]

What printer did you use? I've been wanting to buy a printer that can fully print helmets in one go, and i'm so envious that you can do it! I'm currently rocking the Prusa I3 MK3, and i love it, but the volume just isn't enough.
