Great placement of the battery as now you just need to stick out your tongue to check the voltage.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

HAHA! Yes, exactly. =)

@GraceWillow 7 лет назад

Oh my god THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. I love how those laser-cut covers defuse the light so well!

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

+ZonZonZonbi Woohoo!

@jimzkie5634 6 лет назад

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Perfect! Have fun with your build! =D

@BenDelano 7 лет назад

Awesome! I really want to play with putting lights into my cosplay. Thanks for the instructional!

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Lights make everything more epic!

@Krisswords 7 лет назад

Great job like always Bill

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Thanks!

@BucketheadStudios 7 лет назад

Awesome build, love those laser engraved discs to finish it off

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

+Buckethead Props Yeah it's a nice touch. =)

@KRGraphicsCG 6 лет назад

Still my favourite tutorial! I just ordered some LED strip lights for a homemade mocap helmet and I am going to hazard a guess that I would need all three PCBs connected to make white... I am excited to tackle something functional with my 3D printer

@-.Psycho.- 7 лет назад

I like the way you make the eye's and also to help your vision without making your eyes being anoyed by the light.

@jackkuehneman9300 7 лет назад

a cheap option for diffusion is tracing paper. otherwise actually using diffusion gels for theater lighting. i work at a theater and as the props master, i had to make a magic mirror that lights up for beauty and the beast. theres all sorts of different levels of diffusion that work incredibly. i dont think its too much but of course there are always cheaper options.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

+Jack Kuehneman Great tips! Thanks for sharing.

@SnarkyPosters 7 лет назад

Hey Bill, if you hate waiting on hot glue (aka hot snot :D) to cool; try using a smooth metal tool, like the back end of a pair of tweezers. It acts like heat sink and cools it very fast, almost like ca glue with accelerator.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Good idea!

@peterdickerson7982 7 лет назад

I think you should have made the Velcro into a pouch rather than attaching it directly to the battery so you can switch out the battery easily

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

That's a good idea too!

@ChozoSR388 7 лет назад

Exactly. Using a permanent solution to a temporary situation is kinda backwards.

@chantellenorton6699 7 лет назад

I would never put the hook tape facing where skin would be. I have scars on my legs from that exact thing and faces are much more sensitive!

@bobbiac 7 лет назад

really nice to see this come together. You might want to try a few concentric circles on the opposite side of the grid, just to obscure the LEDs a smidge more. Also, mask the acrylic off before you do the circles so you can hit it with some model glue if you want, just to add some gunmetal into the cut lines. ALSO ALSO .. you can always add a resistor in the circuit to dim the LEDs a smidge.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

All good tips!

@richcartwright889 7 лет назад

Great job, love the laser cutter.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

+Rich Cartwright Thanks! It's such a handy tool.

@makerbob3d953 7 лет назад

Awesome helmet! In similar situations, you could use a rechargeable battery, so you don't need to attach more Velcro to a future replacement battery.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

+MakerBob3D Good idea.

@jonathanforby9535 7 лет назад

DANG that turned out so good! Well done!

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Why thank you! =D

@adamkadmon777 6 лет назад

Very cool, I have made SL lenses for people but this is great for people who want to light them up! Might have to add 3D print housing to my list.

@duskears8736 7 лет назад

Translucent Milk Carton plastic works well for diffusion too if you're on a budget and/or don't have a laser cutter.

@TheRunesmythe 7 лет назад

That's debatable since his wife she really couldn't see much of anything while wearing it.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

That's definitely a great material for defusing lights.

@AlexSwavely 7 лет назад

Or, take clear acrylic and scratch the grid into it by using either the dull side of an xacto blade or a "dental pick" for the exact same effect. (use a metal ruler to keep the lines straight)

@duskears8736 7 лет назад

@lennier1 As @TheRunesmythe points out and you can see in the video most diffusion materials will be difficult to see through. It's kinda part of the theater of it though. Like in the X-men movies every time Storm went goddess mode the actress couldn't see through the contact lenses even though the character could. Alternatively you could go high tech and use some cameras and tiny screens, but that's reaching into a whole new price range most cosplayers can't afford.

@pausolsonaprod.8038 7 лет назад

There we go!!!

@bcostell69 7 лет назад

Great demo , looks good

@ericklps 7 лет назад

Instead of gluing the battery, you could made a little velcro bag, in a way that you just need to replace the battery

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Great idea!

@bobross2089 7 лет назад

Nice you should be doing props for films you are amazing as always

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Why thank you!

@ldavidson11 7 лет назад

Sintoxic ....I agree

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

How did you know?! =D

@A_RyanWilson 7 лет назад

I really think you should make a Star Lord costume for yourself Bill; it'll be great!

@HDBrown-wc9xt 7 лет назад

Awesome!

@neonnerd1364 4 года назад

You should make a mini clap trap out of your solder station because the clips remind me of clap traps arms.

@mooneyes2k478 7 лет назад

Could you, potentially, use a strip like this to change the light, depending? Using some sort of a switch, that is?

@colinsmith1410 7 лет назад

Great series Bill. Love the final result! I think you should consider releasing Punished Prop tools that make a "poop" sound when you use them ;)

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

+Colin Smith Hahaa! Thanks Colin. =)

@GMen_3D 7 лет назад

It's for Adam Savage for Comic Con. Calling it. But then again, he likes to make his own stuff. I'm just getting paranoid.

How well can you see through it during the dark?

@simony5807 Год назад

@3:08 soldering for just red lights on rgb light strip

@johnd866 7 лет назад

Really awesome project. Have you ever used the LED strips with the gel protective covering on them? I wonder if you sprayed them with a matte finish if it would diffuse the light even more? Not necessarily for this project, but it was just a thought that popped in my head to help get away from that "dotted" led look. Never tried it though :)

@JediHagrid 7 лет назад

if they're 50 mm lenses (aka welding goggle size) Adafruit has NeoPixel rings in that size. also RGB. but they run on 5 volts and use Arduino.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Sadly they are quite a bit smaller than that at around 34mm in diameter. =(

@JediHagrid 7 лет назад

dang. well, my head is big so maybe if (when?) i make one I can use the bigger LEDs haha :D

@KRSabers 7 лет назад

Great work Bill! Was great to meet you a Celebration 2017 also! (Lightsaber guy). Were you not tempted to install a discrete latching switch on the side of the helmet to easily turn the leds on and off? That would be cool also :)

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Hey it was awesome meeting you too! I thought about it, but I was doing it all on a live stream and just adding a battery connector was the simplest solution.

@sm_smurfie6620 7 лет назад

Bill, I don't know if this will work, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but could you sand the inside of the mask so it fits your head better? Because it looks to be thick enough to do so

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

I might be able to, but I don't want to chance sanding through the side.

@DaniMakes 7 лет назад

looks great! very similar to my lens kit also! Glad these worked for you. although you can see really well with my lenses.

@sm_smurfie6620 7 лет назад

Daniel Wiggins don't try to promote your "great quality" products in the comment section of a video. And don't try to one-up Bill's idea that worked great. When it comes to knowledge in this category, he's probably going to know more than everyone.

@DaniMakes 7 лет назад

Uber Nova nah, you misread that. I already offered him use of my lenses in a different video. he responded that he already had some from one source and would contact me if they didn't work out. I'm replying to that, saying I'm glad he got the others to work out. You are mistaken though, since my lenses do work better and just because he is a popular RU-vidr doesn't mean he knows how to do everything better than everyone else. hence why he used a lens kit from someone else. the only difference I can see is the reflective inside or blue lens might be darker than mine, making it harder to see inside.

@sm_smurfie6620 7 лет назад

Daniel Wiggins "You are mistaken though, since my lenses do work better, and just because he is a popular RU-vidr doesn't mean he knows how to do everything better than everyone else." There are 3 things wrong with that. 1. If your lenses "work better", than why didn't Bill use them? 2. How would you know the lenses work better on the helmet? And, if you've actually bought the same kit as Bill AND built it the SAME WAY be did, then how would you know what Bill likes, because he made the eye parts how HE likes them. 3. I didn't say Bill was better at EVERYTHING than everyone else, I said that he has more experience and knowledge in this hobby. And he GOT popular on RU-vid for being good at this hobby. It's not like he got famous for his comedy. So I'm a way, you just proved yourself wrong.

@DaniMakes 7 лет назад

Uber Nova im not here to argue with you. it really was just a response to the convo we had previously. you got bent out of shape over it because you thought I was trying to promote my stuff. I apologize if it looks that way since that is not my intention. I didn't link anything... so I am not promoting it. I was saying mine work better because Brittany said in the video she can't really see. I was commenting that you can see out of mine. why are you making such a big deal over a comment on a video?

@sm_smurfie6620 7 лет назад

Daniel Wiggins I just really love Bill and his channel and I've never seen anyone promote their stuff, and I got defensive because that's the number one thing that kills a channels comments. And the comments are the best part about the video because people can share their common opinions.

@mantacid1221 2 года назад

you think those kits come in green?

@connorohoare7470 7 лет назад

My not trying to be a critic or say I know better, but I'd of tried to put the battery in the "chin vents" I'm not sure what they are called but you could hollow it out and house the battery out the way there. But as I say I know not enough to say I'm right and you are wrong, was just a thought I had

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

+Connor Ohoare That is definitely one option.

@tabularasagaming9651 5 лет назад

What's the best way without a kit? I have some goggles I want to make glow red. Line them with an RGB strip and then add a blue acrylic lense near my eye?

@Leach145 7 лет назад

i think you mentioned before but what are the metal blocks you were using to hold the lens whilst working on it please?

@SMoonTeam 6 лет назад

I have a question about this meathead. Would it be possible to recreate the lenses, if the goggles already have red lenses, and would I just need a normal blue lense to cancel the red?

@glibbond168 5 лет назад

If you combine a pure red and a pure blue lens, i doubt you'll be able to see very much through them.

@CMTechnica 7 лет назад

when you soder, (I butchered it, ik) are you using a hit knife or a specialized tool?

@MrMassmahem 7 лет назад

Hey bill I was wondering if you buy your Eva foam online or locally.

@sowa8991 7 лет назад

Great job on the helmet, looks so good! But i got a question. You said that it's a 12V led strip, and You used a 9V battery... how long of a led strip you coud power that way?

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

I'm not entirely sure. I think a really long strip would light up just fine, it just wouldn't last very long on such a small battery.

@sowa8991 7 лет назад

Well that's just great this info really helps with my project, thanks!

@toxfox0 4 года назад

So does the blue filter work for only red I’m trying to make a mask with white or yellow light and im pretty sure the mask could be thick enough for that type of set up or if needed it could be compacted slightly but yeah does the blue filter work on white light or yellow light if it has to be a color or do i have to get something else

@punishedprops 4 года назад

Yes the blue is specifically used to cancel out the red. If your LEDs are a different color than red, you would need to use another color lens.

@toxfox0 4 года назад

Punished Props Academy would you happen to know what color it’d have to be for yellow or white

@BioClone 3 года назад

@@toxfox0 I guess thats a problem as white canot be properly shielded, I guess you should base it on R G B, using one of the ones you dont want to use, Yellow is a mix of Red and green, so probably the blue shielding could work for yellow light the same as it does with red, while using other color (like red or green) as shielding would allow half the light spectre to go though it. Also consider that to create proper yellow lighting you must consider to have 2 different led colors on the visor (both red and green 50-50)

@crchart 7 лет назад

so I have worked on and off of my own Star Lord helmet and have had a challege recently with the eyes, right now they are just red acrylic lenses but they are not lit up yet so I was curious to what the issue was seeing through these ones were? was the laser etching in the lenses the issue? was the light so close to the eyes the issue or what?

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

The blue lenses are just very dark and it's hard to see in the basement. It might be better in the sunlight.

Can i get a version of that eye kit that's about 3 times the size somewhere?

@xeclipseshadow 7 лет назад

Hey Bill! I'm working on a cosplay that has glowing eyes myself, and have a quick question. Would lighting gel (used in theatre) be a decent substitute for the back piece of the glowing eye? My character's glow blue, so I'll need a different color than what you have on yours.

@davidfountain6607 7 лет назад

The led strip lighting Bill used is RGB which means it can be lit, red, green or blue.

@xeclipseshadow 7 лет назад

David Fountain yep, already found them on Amazon. More or less I'm asking about the blue material that he used so that I don't get blasted in the eyes with the blue light from mine.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

I'm not sure if that would work, but here's how I made glowing blue eyes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TjOK0WmWYtw.html

How long did/does the battery last? Im in the process of making a prop gun and ill be using led strip much like you have. As ill be printing it i need to model in a space for the battery and trying to work out if 9v will last long enough.... cheers :)

@LoudBarkDesigns 6 лет назад

Great build but I'm not a fan of seeing the LED's intensity through the acrylic. A bit more frosted by canceling them out will give a different look. Just my opinion but nice job

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

That's tough to do when you need to see out of the eyeholes. Sometimes ya gotta compromise for the sake of vision.

@BioClone 3 года назад

you can always add a diffuser layer in the inner part, like a translucent ring that covers sighly the leds on the space between the mirrored area and the outside lense. probably that would also give better visibility
