I Built Arasaka Motorized Helmet (Cyberpunk 2077)

Engineering, cosplay animatronics, new 3D printing techniques... this project really pushed me to my limits - but it's finally done! After building Oda's mantis blades, I wanted to complete the entire outfit. I love blending engineering and fashion/cosplay.
His helmet - was such an iconic, challenging piece, and I hope you guys learn something from this video!
A special shout out to CD Projekt Red for creating Cyberpunk 2077, as well as providing me the high resolution assets so I could make such an accurate piece!

[@Goobermcgooberson625]

Y'know, I have a feeling, that if this guy started selling some of the stuff he's made, he'd be making serious cash, keep up the good work choom

[@thefumexxl]

Very few people want to pay what this work is actually worth when you consider the labor and time + the small scale of his ability to make stuff. People always say this shit to these kinds of creators, but you realize he spent a few hundred hours just printing the visor aloen.

[@Goobermcgooberson625]

​@@thefumexxl didn't really need a whole paragraph of an explanation that it took him a while to make that, I get it, but I was just saying it to say it.

[@чиабатта-р9с]

​@@thefumexxlsome cosplayers WILL pay for this huge amount of money. Some of them bought cosplay helmets from one russian guy back in the mid 10s and they payed thousands just to get it from him and only him. His helmets were good, really good but this... This guy is on another level, god tier level of crafting.

[@Xaxxus]

Unfortunately, the amount of time it takes to make each unit, he would have to sell these for thousands of dollars each for it to be profitable.

[@yomommashaus]

honestly, a collector could have commissioned this suit for like $5000, considering the multitude of skills required, the time, and finished product, perhaps comparable to an expertly made cosplay dress that goes for thousands!

[@chowow18]

Your attention to detail is insane! Such a cool piece, especially paired with the mantis blades. Can't wait to see more preem builds

[@shassafrass1770]

I really appreciate you showing your failures and how you learned and adapted to the results. I feel like a lotta people just put a time-lapse on for that kind of stuff but it's really nice to see what kind of work goes into making an idea come to life.

We got Oda in real life before GTA 6 Joking aside this is metal af, good job choom!

[@thundolis]

One of the things I do now is do a 20% per volume mix of high durometer flex resin to large prints, You end up with an "super resi" that is resistant to breakage and is fully machinable

[@trollerbladdering]

People like you make me want to go and blow thousands of dollars and try to do something like this, but then I think about bills and realize that it's not plausible at the current juncture. This was amazing. I just started playing CyberPunk 2077 a couple days ago because of the Steam Summer Sale, and I'm just blown away by this game.

First of all this is an insanely amazing build. It definitely deserves more attention. I love the sheer dedication to recreate something that - until now - only existed on screen with such accuracy and detail. (For those who are wondering what the song during the showcase at the end is: NEFFEX - "How it's Supposed to Feel")

[@Gruff_rift]

Nova choom keep up the work

[@ktankinfinity]

Dude thats amazing, words can genuinely never experss how awesome this is!

[@SidekickElements]

Best way to make the visor: engrave/cut the pattern onto a flat sheet of polycarbonate, then vacuum form it onto an FDM printed mold Then proceed according to your process of spracing and sanding. (can probably spray and sand while it's still flat actually, so you can use an electric sander).

[@Iguana93]

I would also have gone with vacuum formed PETG, simply because shells from resin are so brittle (and internal tensions can make them deform and crack even long after curing). It would perhaps look a bit different but surely not worse and it would be much more durable. You would have to sand it after the vaccuum forming though, there's no chance of the paint withstanding the bending and temperature. But this result is amazingly cool either way.

[@SidekickElements]

@@Iguana93 Maybe with a polyurethane based paint? That should be elastic, and I think there are high temperature polyurethane spray coating for automotive applications.

[@Iguana93]

@@SidekickElements Perhaps? But even the elasticity in those is meant for natural flexing in the substrate. Vacuum forming introduces huge dimensional changes.

[@Iridescent_ninja]

Please never stop making these videos !!!!!! I feel so inspired even though I know nothing about how you made it .

[@knoedeltarzan]

It looks awesome, could you please do a trauma team helmet/outfit??????

[@sirseriously]

This is so stinking cool. The quality is amazing; love that feeling of getting a project to turn out right

[@vibededitz]

this is just on another level, even the most popular channels don't make stuff like this

[@raghnall847]

I love this. It's always enjoyable seeing someone take an in game thing and make it real.

[@conorstewart2214]

This turned out very good. As for the issues with the servos, it is a well known issue with classic arduinos, the servo library uses software timers to toggle the pins, not hardware, so anything that interrupts the arduino, like interrupts or likely wireless features, or just things that take a while to complete, can affect the software timer and therefore can affect the signal being sent to the servos causing them to jitter. To fix it you can either use a servo driver board which contains hardware timers or just use a microcontroller that has hardware timers.

[@Axxquix]

Your constant perseverence is actually so insanely awe-inspiring! The final design looked so good too, putting that much time into this was definitely serious dedication that payed off so well. I'm hoping your next projects are even greater than this one!

[@ElmoPlayss]

11:13 the color lenses you put in your eyes made you look awesome even without the helmet being on! Thank you for doing this it looks absolutely awesome! I want to buy one 😂

[@kerseyfabs]

I appreciate another maker that goes with the process of iteration with a lot of prototypes as you get the part dialed in perfectly! It can take a lot longer and cost more but the results are very satisfying. Very nice work! I'm glad you were able to repair the visor.

[@Zibartas]

Absolutely!! I actually left out a bunch of iterations that this final version depended upon. Namely - the animatronics - there were two distinct, more sleek, but unfortunately underpowered mechanisms that had to be scrapped :D

[@EatFailSleepRepeat]

holy crap, this is awesome on so many levels!

[@tomtomburke22]

this is just insane. Blown away by the quality of the finished product!

[@DatFunnyPerson]

You are so talented its not even fun anymore. you deserve 1million subs atleast!

[@MasterEash]

Videos like these keep me motivated through all the failures and prototyping on projects. I'm working on a collapsible helmet right now and want to electronically actuate the visor but have always been intimidated by the process so this is uplifting. Printing the resin visor I thought was a bad idea on my part but seeing yours in action was such a relief to know it was in fact possible. Love seeing your work and looking forward to seeing more of your projects! Thank you!!

My heart sank when the mouth slipped out and broke. I've been there before with resin. This is amazing work, I'm glad I found your channel!

[@a.j.merrifield7558]

One thing you can do to make cleaning off your supports SO much easier on your resin prints is to soak the print in hot water for a few minutes before pulling off or cutting off the supports. They'll pop right off, and do less damage to the print itself. Great job on the helmet!

Your creations are always to such a high standard that right now I can only aspire to. I appreciate how you show the challenges along the way, with how you solved each one. It helps the rest of us learn and admire your work even more. Gosh I was not ready for the end 🥲 Airlines!

Alcohol ink's do regrade the crosslink chains of the plastic when they are forming during the curing process. Instead what you need is a dye that is suspended in the same (similar enough) resin that you are printing with. Your prints will crumble over time. this info is from my own firsthand testing and working directly with photopolymer manufacturers. If you need to dye resin again use the CMYK colour pigment set by Monocure . Its incredibly beautiful work and you are def gaining a sub. The black on red shine through is seriously some of the best finishing work i've seen on a resin print.

[@billbobland]

[@peckapuncher2101]

[@BrunenG_YT]

This build is awesome! I'd recommend you use tough resin in the future, in my experience its much more resilient to impacts. I tested my parts and they don't even have dents after falling from 2m. it was Anycubic Tough. For some reason it also prints better.
