It is a more costly solution but I think it a better product which means a better casting.
In a CNC situation, the entire thing is a single piece already assembled and parts ready for molding as it with very minimal cleanup. Once he is finished with the 3D model, it can either be 3D printed or CNC machined out of a solid block of plastic.īoth are similar but if it is 3D printed it will come in multiple parts which will have to be cleaned up, assembled and then molded. Thank you Derrek and Roy for working on making these helmets a reality for the community.īrian, It is possible to 3D print the helmet in parts based on the 3D design that Roy is building up. Sorry I don't know enough about 3d printing limitations but would it be possible to 3D print the helmet in parts? Please take the photo above with a little knowledge that it is a rough start and will be changing a lot as we work on it. We are really waiting on more views of the helmet so we can get this right the first time, but in the mean time there is a lot of base work to be done. I just wanted to put this up in the hopes that we can crowdsource the build a little, get the ideas of this great community and let you know that we are working on it! There are a LOT of things missing at the moment and some modifications have already been identified.
So without further ado, here is the first draft of the helmet. I will be updating the build as Roy creates the base model and through the physical build process. Once this is done, castings in resin and for sale here on the FISD! Once the design has been finished and vetted by all of us detail freaks here on the FISD, we will get the master CNC cut and I will then mold it in silicone. So, Roy has been working hard around his normal job designing some awesome consumer and industrial products help provide us troopers some helmets. We had a discussion around the Episode 7 Helmet and came to a partnership to produce these in and for the FISD community. So, I approached Roy Gilsing ( Wannawanga on the FISD) ( about doing some 3D design.
