Alright, so this is my first build, and I'm starting out with an ODST Helmet, which I understand is a tricky visor to make.
Luckily, my 3D Print files came with a forming buck! However, I saw a lot of people recommending PETG and using inch measurements. I narrowed it down to needing to be about 1mm~ thick or less; but it seems that finding PETG is pretty hard, at least where I'm looking.
HOWEVER, I did find Acrylic that's 1mm thick.
Anyone know if I'd be alright forming with this? Whether it'd be too thick, or if the material might cause problems?
I don't mind spending more, but if I can avoid it, I gladly will
Otherwise, any UK Based Builders who have other ideas on where to get formable material? Or on what material they'd recommend?
Thanks in advance, been wanting so bad to get into armour building since i was like 14; but now I finally have the means and I wanna do it right!
