I always see the question on how do I scale my helmets to be 3d printed! Its always scary to 3d print a helmet and it not be sized right. You dont want to waste plastic or time. If you run a 3d printing business people may return if the helmets not sized perfect. In this tutorial I show exactly how to scale your 3d printed helmets to get the perfect size everytime using a free file from an awesome creator by the name of Budwin and here is the link to his file.

@itsallwrong89 Месяц назад

my heads at almost 110% (yes i know). a great video to see is how to cut the parts and fit them together in post because obvs wont fit on most printers (only have a p1s)

@_Mourning_ Месяц назад

Cutting in Bambu Studio is actually crazy easy!

@itsallwrong89 Месяц назад

@_Mourning_ yes, there's a button for that. but, cutting the pieces to fit the printer and making it easy to merge them in post without a bunch of seams or alignment issues is not. and not everyone wants to bondo and sand for three days. so alternative options like pegs and things would be simple but informative for beginners

@mariospanayiotou6644 3 месяца назад

Been using this method only i use orca/bambu slicer and go to “objects” then unclick the helmet to make it transparent. In the slicer, you can scale the helmet and head to half (say if 90% is that you think is what you need then make it 45% and half of whatever the head is), turn off supports and slice. Then you can get a better view of how the head fits by scrolling the layers. The visibility of 3d builder with the blue xray might be better though and also looks cooler

@SaturdayMorningProps 3 месяца назад

That's a great option and may help people on MacBooks!

@@SaturdayMorningProps I'm actually following another commenters recommendation of going into objects and "hiding" the helmet/model over the head model. Works pretty much exactly the same so regardless thank you for the tip!!

@ozorhaar9575 3 месяца назад

Now if only my head was small enough that I could actually print the helmet in my P1S :( Unless the helmet file I got was already bigger than my noggin and I need to scale it down, but following the math in the vid, I need to scale to 110%, and base model I already get warning that it's outside the print plate. Stupid big head.... this is why I can't have cool things. And of course 3D Builder isn't available anymore in the MS store and says it's already installed in Win 11 but can't find it to open it. Easy to follow video though, which is awesome if I had more print space!

I am saving to get an Ender 3 v3 SE... Will that be enough to print such helmets because the budget is tight and it will take few more months before I purchase it😬So will it be fine for such prints or do I need to save a bit longer till next year for a better printer?
