MAKING A STORMTROOPER HELMET!! 3D Printed for Star Wars Day! 

The main reason you had issues with the tint was because you are suppose to get soapy water on the part your tinting and the tint itself before applying it and using a credit card for example to push out the bubbles from the centre to the edges and giving the tint time to dry out normally 24 hours I had the same issues with my helmet project and these small changes made it much easier 😊 your helmet came out quiet well!

11:23 fr thought this is the most important step of the ENTIRE build

Great video! For the tint, you can spray soapy water on the adhesive side and onto the surface of the material. This allows you to move it around a bit and squeegee out the bubbles.

"It's over Anakin! I have the 'High Spot'!" '

Looks great! Spray the tinting with a light soap water solution and use a squeegee to smooth it on and work out the bubbles.

The blue strips are just vents they never had time to make, but on rogue one they made them check that out, the black series full size has them as vents

Love this video. I just printed my first attempt using a printer that probably made it WAY easier than you had 6 years ago. Everything went great...had to print it in 12 pieces with my small print bed. Well, everything went great until I glued the dome top pieces on and didn't get it aligned properly before the CA glue cured...the tabs in the model I'm using means there is no UNDO...I'll be printing another one......

With the aluminum mesh, if you cut it the same size of the raised ring, and then press it in, you should be able to pull it out with a small pick, and then reinsert it "upside down" so the part that would have been bent up when you first inserted, is now facing down, and will provide a consistent perimeter and a slight sense of depth.

2 things 1. When you use bonds it's better to get the blue hardner(cracks less than red hardner) 2. Try rondo 1/2 bondo 1/2 fiberglass resin ) makes it runny enough to fill all grooves

To apply tint film, you are supposed to make some watery dish soap solution, spray between the film and sheet you apply it to, then with plastic ruler you squeeze the soap out, it dries fast and gives great smooth result.

When are you going to do the rest of the armor

That was fun! I enjoyed the "troopers" at the end

great video! i bought a printer myself just for this and the N7 breather helmet. After some figurines, tools and other things i have finally started my trooper helmet. Im currently printing part 12. It was nice seeing how you put everything togheter glued and sanded and sanded and primed and sanded and painted and sanded and sanded. But the final result was amazing and i cant wait to start working on mine. Excellent job.

Pretty nice helmet

The storm pooper 🤣😂

The "dad-esque" jokes won a subscription. :) Nice job.

I don't know if it's canon or if it's true or not but I believe that the blue striped sides are an indication of the 501st clone group

This kinda looks like an upscale Ed version of the new LEGO storm trooper helmet mold

If you are Star Wars nerd you should do a droid

nice build! pro tip: wet the tint film with soapy water before applying, by doing this you can move the film around untill you are satisfied, then using a windowscraper wipe all the water from under the film... voila!

One tip for the future; apply some windex or any cleaner you have on hand to the window tinting film..apply to the surface...and rub it till there is no bubbles . Let dry and voila your done

AWESOME May the force be with you!!!

I was wondering when you’d release this video. It didn’t cross my mind that you were waiting for today.

the way you added the tint was hillarious

The bondo was part was unnecessary, a proper mid-low sanding grit to high grit is what I do first, then to fill in the gaps, then I use Spot Bondo Putty. That’s your thing though, there’s a lot more work put in when you have to do a lot of sanding after it cures.

“I find your lack of faith disturbing”

i tried printing this but my nozzle got stuck on the print can you possibly make a video on nozzle drag please

I will have to utilize that modified Maslow's from now on.

I wonder if a pvc plumbing glue would bond the pieces quick

Nicely done

Awesome, searched for 3D printed Stormtrooper helmet and I'm so pleased this came up. Great video!

Sanding sponge?

i know this is late, but if you spray water/soap mix on the tint then squeeze out the water and let it dry it works good

Nice job, but now you did it. Find the traitor, several transmissions were beamed aboard by rebel spies. Really like it. 👍

Not a bad looking helmet , the hovi mics you are correct

Why don't you tape around the parts you apply black color on?? :D

That was quite fun! lol I didn't plan on watching it, but I did....couldn't seem to pull myself away. Thanks! :)

The window tint needs a spray bottle with a drop of soap..spray both parts apply and squeeze out the bubbles 👌

You you want a really shiny finish use 2k clear coat

Great video with an awesome ending!

Soap and water.works when working with tinted flim

how do you adjust the head size

How much would something like this cost in material?

Loved the video, awesome project!

I have just ordered a creality ender 3, is it possible to print this helmet or others like Darth Vader, or even full armor? I believe the ender 3 is a 200mm bed? anyone I am a total noob as my printer has not shipped yet. lol Shipps tomorrow ;)

A bit more effort in the sanding department would have been great, otherwise awesome job

with the black tint film, you need a heat gun to stop it crinkling up

Nice job and well done on the video edits. Now make the rest of the outfit. You know you want to.

11:48 otherwise known as a pooper trooper

Which quality and infill settings were you using?

really really cool.

How super cool is that I am a massive fan of star wars and I love storm troopers and I want a job like what you are doing I am from Colchester Essex please can you show me how you do all of that the 3d via computer is really cool.

Looks kind of lumpy in some places. Is that due to flaws in the print or is the computer model off?

pretty good storm trooper helmet i wouldnt mind making one myself pretty cool.kevin greenfield im a massive starwars fan.

That is a pretty storm trooper helmet

Awesome. I am currently printing my first helmet

Hahahaaha stormpooper got me ! amazing work

Good effort, sir. :-)

May the 4th be with you... BTW very nice project

Blast em! Great video.

Well done! ATB, Robin

AMAZING!!!

Did your print with supports?

Cool storm trooper.helmet

As someone who uses automotive body filler everyday you should dolphin glaze filler in a bag. Super creamy and very easy to sand

Do you think it smells better or worse than the originals on the inside?

Your welcome for the g-code! That was my original file on Thingerverse!! You should have coated it with a epoxy coat ! it would have been stronger and easier to get perfect!

good job, bro!

During this video he played the half life 2 citadel alarm when he was painting the rim above the eyes and the mouth piece black

personally i lile your work but little comparison this helmet looks like legos stormtrooper 2019 helmet

How would you eat and drink through the helmet

Amazing job mate!

Really cool ay gona have a 3D printer in school

Did you scale down the print? I am about halfway through printing and the helmet looks way big

I am new to 3d printing and have been printing non stop for a week. Can you please take a second to help me. I want to make a helmet but I do not know what I should set my settings at for it. Can you give me some pointers please just let me know what your settings were. Thanks in advance. I use a QIDI X-MAX printer

Is it just me but it looks exactly like the new Lego stormtrooper helmet🤔

Which settings did u use for the 3d printer? I use Simplify 3D, can you share the .ff file? Great video!

44hrs?!?! Mines taking wayyy longer than that. What settings are you using to print. If I can get all those peices printed in 2 days I’d be suprised

I happen to be a very nerdy Star Wars fan myself. And I was wondering.... do you sell these helmets? I might be interested in buying an original Stormtrooper helmet.

3D Printing is Witchcraft lol Nice work.

Does anyone know where I could get a file to print a snow trooper helmet, I can’t find any videos or files and I don’t know much about 3D printing but I’d love to start by printing and assembling a snow trooper helmet

What glue did you use

Hola con que modelo de impresora lo hiciste? Muchas gracias.

Does patrion give Uber trooper access ? Not party trooper he looked like trouble.

Is the helmet strong?

What type of filiment did u use ?

would you mind sharing your design for the pieces you created?

doesn't pla deform?

Great job! What's the music track in the video? I really like it.

How much does the materials cost?

The way you used that file gave me anxiety. lol

Please post the name and model number of 3 D printer. Thx

Clone helmet pls

May the force be with you.

Are you going to print stormtrooper armor?!

Hello my name is Kevin green field and I'm a massive star wars fan and I have a storm trooper 3-D print helmet ok please can you tell me how do you get it on your head and you for got to put the s trim on the bottom of the helmet.

About 4 days, give or take. I really need to save for a 3D printer.

Nice! I took the easier route and bought mine for about $100 on Amazon.

im making this

Hello! If you like 3D modelling and are open to help me design a custom helmet please let me know! I want to use this helmet as a prop for a film project so I'm currently looking for competent people to help me out, I'm willing to pay for a 3D printable product. Best regards Blue
