Recently commissioned by a customer to make a Halo 5 Teishin helmet. Only our second time printing a helmet so extremely excited to jump into the challenge again! For this one we took a bunch of lessons that we learned from building the Recluse armor to make it much better for the customer! First things first, the Halo 5 source file.
As you can see it's nice and polygony. So taking the advice from some other forum members I hoped into Blender to smooth out the model. Night and day difference.
Next was scaling. So time for Armorsmith. It's what we used to scale the Recluse, and if you havent used it before I highly recommend you giving it a try.
Then came slicing. We first attempted to cut the helmet into 8 parts, but the sizing and printability of those parts just wasnt ideal. So we Cut it in halve then split from there.
Now off to the printer!
