Hello,
I've been currently printing out the helmet, and I believe I run into a possible sizing issue. I have previously made an armor set, and used this 405th forms to size my armor How to Scale Your Armour- Tutorial V.2 . I used the same method for my helmet that I am printing, I am 5 feet 9.5 in. I came to the calculations to where I would need to size the file down by 75.74% to match the ratio to my height. I've printed out about half of the helmet so far and it seems like it may possibly be too small.... I don't want to finish printing it and have it be too small and waste filament. what is a good size for this helmet?

This is the only issue with this file, I printed few parts of helmet and 84-86% should fit well.

Quick Question. What kind of material are you printing with there?. I've just started to play with 3d printing but there is alot of trade off on material types so I was wondering what you found worked best for you.

eSun PLA+ works great. I printed full suit using it and it worked out pretty good.

Thank you, I’ll give it a try!

how do you do the shins!? I have made a few and cant seem to get my foot through. Should I make them much larger, or two pieces with a hinge?

I hit the same issue. I would suggest something like this
MrJamin's 3D Printed MK VI Master Chief
No difference. When I first started uploading, I didn't know if people would figure out that it's the same file just labeled differently. I had a lot of messages asking for the other piece. Now I just started putting in the file name - "Print 2 of these" hoping that they get it. So are you...

Some sage advice right there.

I don't know if it was mentioned earlier in the post but is there a vacuum forming puck for the visor?

No, i believe not. Atleast to my knowlegde.
Shouldn't be too hard to make one from the files though....

True...
I'll watch a few tutorials and try to whip one up myself and post it here (if the original creator allows it of course)

I finally got around to printing these parts. I then ran into a weird issue I haven't seen posted about. Pictures attached.
1. On the backpack pieces, the raised section on the side popped off and there's a distinct wall.
2. On the hand covers, the raised bits also came off and now show as indentations.
Has anyone else run into this? I'm not able to separate these sections from the main parts to print separately. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Finalmente pude imprimir estas piezas. Luego me encontré con un problema extraño que no había visto publicado. Fotos adjuntas.
1. En las piezas de la mochila, la sección elevada del costado se desprendió y hay una pared distinta.
2. En las cubiertas de las manos, las partes elevadas también se desprendieron y ahora se muestran como muescas.
¿Se ha encontrado alguien mas con esto? No puedo separar estas secciones de las partes principales para imprimir por separado. Cualquier sugerencia será bienvenida.
[/ CITAR]
He impreso el protector y el archivo está bien, y he cortado el brazo en 9 partes sin problemas, tal vez el problema sea el programa de laminado o corte que usas

Just a wild guess, but maybe the model had some geometry errors or it sliced wrong. I had this happen when printing my flood head. All the teeth were fine, but the connection points where hollow up through the mouth...

It's possible. I sliced using Simplify3D. It might also be the orientation. I print my files standing up because I don't like sanding down the rings that you get when you print it lying down. Just a personal preference.
Also possible. I just wanted to ask since, if it was a geometry error, other people would have run into it as well.
Thanks for the responses. I'll try a different orientation part orientation and see if that fixes things. Since I printed both backpack halves and both handplates vertically, it might just be that others printing in a different orientation didn't notice the issue because the layers would have stuck together more.
The fun never stops...

After some research...
1. The hands are simply an issue of the slicer not liking that the 3 ridges are connected surfaces. So that's a slicer issue I can probably fix by making sure everything is merged into a single mesh.
2. The backpack models have a definitive gap. While they're all part of the same mesh so I can't split them off automatically, they are actually separate from the side of the main part. Screenshots from 2 different slicers and 3d builder atttached. Basically the gap just needs to be filled in.
Not sure how to resolve the 2nd one.

Well, yes, it seems that there is no fix, I have tried to cut the piece at the height of the problem (with prusaslicer) to see if I made a wall at the end of the cut (the piece on the right) but it does not remain the same, perhaps printing it on the position that is on the plate goes better, I hope you solve it, good luck

After some fiddling, and since I really didn't want to waste 2 more reels of filament to reprint both backpack parts, I decided to just slice off the side piece and re-print that to glue on later.
If anyone is interested, I can provide the STL. It's probably not perfect, but it's workable

Sweet helmet, thanks for sharing. It has great detail on it, hopefully once I start mine it turns out half as good as yours. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the armor.So here is a little holiday update for you all. It's a little late, have been really busy with work, school and life... But anyway, in November I finished this beautyI'm really happy with how this helmet turned out. Now there is just the rest of the armor left to finish... so much sanding...
Hope you all enjoy and happy christmas to you all!
