[Project] Homemade, FULL SIZE, Iron Man Helmet
Posted: July 6, 2019, 9:37 am
| [size=300][b]About The Project[/b][/size] I am currently working on a rather interesting project: a life-size Iron Man helmet. The helmet will be a full-size replica of the Mark 3 Iron Man armour that was created, used and destroyed in the original Iron Man (2008) movie. The helmet will be wearable and 3D printed. I will be 3D printing the whole helmet, which consists of a total of 11 parts separated over 10 print jobs. The total print time is an estimated 120 hours and 52 minutes, however, this does not take any failed prints into account. The expected total print time, including failed prints and software inaccuracies, is roughly 140 hours. The total print material costs will be roughly 13 euros (factoring in failures), the final weight will be 533 grams. | [img]https://thumbs.gfycat.com/MiserlyDishonestFishingcat-size_restricted.gif[/img] |
| [size=300][b]Techniques[/b][/size] The printer used for the job is a Creality CR-10S Pro, printing with 1.75mm FilRight Maker PLA. The printer has a print bed (aka total print size) of 300x300x400mm, which is rather large for a customer-grade 3D printer. The accuracy is 100 microns. I won't be painting it myself, a friend will do that for me. She'll most likely use an Airbush with metallic paint.
