- I hope everyone is well during this coronavirus pandemic, what a year 2020 has been so far. Lets hope it gets better soon.
I've been keeping busy by making this Scout Trooper Helmet, 3d printed using the Anet A8 3d printer.
Stay safe, stay healthy

This just randomly popped up in my recommended. The algorithm blesses you.
Loads of patients! What a great result.
Good concise, clear vid. 👍
Very handy vid. Picking up a part finished 3d kit , this was very helpful for fitting/ finishing
Really nice
Looks fabulous chap. I admire your attention to detail and patience with the sanding!
Thanks mate! It's the attention to detail that makes all the difference. The more time you spend on the little things, the better finished product you will get 👍
This is incredible, keep up the good work James!
Thanks a lot! :) Will be making more when I get my 3d printer back from uni!
Mate, that looks absolutely incredible! I will definitely have to try this out! Thanks for the vid! Stay safe R'Kid.
Thanks mate! Will do, U2.
Most impressive. Well done 👍
Absolutely phenomenal. Job well done. Cheers from Texas trooper!!

very cool !!!!!
Great job!! Bye from Italy
Thanks! 😃
Pretty cool.
Amazing video
Good job.
Nice!
Nice job.. Greetings from Bolivia Sucre
Hey, thanks!
sweet build man👍👍
Thanks! :) A new project is underway.....
Do you still have the file? can you upload it somewhere?
power supply should be fine in the enclosure - the aim of the enclosure is to keep the print at a constant ambient, so put a thermometer in it just to check what that is, but it should all be fine and its probably not getting too hot in there - if your really worried about it you could hook it up to an arduino, so that it turns on some PC fans once it exceeds a certain temperature, or turns on heaters once it goes below a certain temperature.
Thanks for the input! I'll definitely look into it!
Someday when you get lots of subs ima be like ive been here since 160 subs
Sub 268 reporting for duty...
Seriously though this guy deserves more subs on the strength of this video alone.
Sub 302 report
Looks incredible! I’m wanting to start printing this soon and am worried about the size. Did you print it at 100% and if so, does it fit your head nicely?
Thanks! I believe I scaled it up a tad in 'meshmixer'. I can't remember the scale I printed it at, but there are plenty of UA-cam videos explain the proper way to measure your head and scaling helmets :)
After further digging to the original designer, lot's of people is recommending to print at 105-110% because the model itself is quite snug. and it all depends on how loose you want the helmet to be
excelente video y sobre todo po los subtitulos en español , me suscribo XD
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks!
Wow, great work. What filament did you use?
Thanks a lot! For filament, I used whatever was cheapest on Ebay! Haha
That looks quite good, are you able to wear it comfortably or would you need to add in padding and stuff?
Thanks! Padding would need to be added, but this wouldn't take too much effort. Padding is something I need to add to some other of my helmets aswell.
Cool hope that your channel takes off you've got some good content and cool builds keep it up😁
I want to get into 3d printing stuff like this. What printer do you use? Or do you have one that you recommend that is capable of printing these parts?
I use the Anet A8, but it is quite loud and did need some safety features adding.
I'd recommend spending a bit more on something like a creality CR10. Larger print area, better frame, higher print quality. I definitely suggest doing your own research though to find what suits you best.
does any one still have these files I stared printing this in pieces and took a brake from printing it but then it was no long on Thingverse
What is the program you used to test the fit of the helmet before slicing it up into pieces? I want to make sure it'll fit before I print it
I used meshmixer and imported a head model and adjusted proportions to the size of my head. Then scaled the helmet up or down to fit. :)
How do you do measurements for your head? I’m really wanting to do this but I am not sure how to scale it correctly
I try to scale it as best I can in meshmixer with a model head that fits my measurements :)
Yo these vids are so dope why dont you post anymore?
Thanks Alot! I will be posting videos again at some point. But I am in my final year of university, so I don't have the time or my kit with me at the moment. Stay tuned tho, there will be videos coming! Haha
how much time and PLA u need to print the helmet? Amazing super job 👍👍👍
Thanks mate! I probably used just over 1kg of plastic, and alot of time! Not sure of exact figure, but it's probably over 50 hours all together.
@@J.watkins_01 ty beautifull pieces👌
How much infill do you recommend for this print, I’m looking into making this some time in the future
Some of the smaller pieces I printed with as little as 15% infill to save filament, but you can pretty much print as dense as you want. Bear in mind that the print will be weaker, but you can make the walls of the print thicker to make it stronger aswell!
@@J.watkins_01 ok thank you!!
What bolts are those for the helmet I need to replace mine and can't seem to find em.
The bolts for the hinge are part of the file. Also 3D printed :)
Amazing job buddy looks like a prop! respect for the entire process
Thanks! appreciate it!
Do you still have the file? can you upload it somewhere?
Do you happen to still have the 3d print files for this? It seems like the original has disappeared :/
hey what kind of glue do you use to glue the parts together?
I use a 50/50 epoxy resin glue, I usually use Areldite or a cheaper alternative. Super glue also works, but id recommend strengthening the inside with with fibreglass.
@@J.watkins_01 thank you 🙏
I'm currently doing the same project and just got done printing all 8 pieces of the 'main' helmet. the two pieces on the lower back part of the print (one of them got the vertical indentations) seem to be kinda thin in some parts. The part that is closest to your neck for example, has such a thin outer layer that i'm scared to handle it. did you encounter the same issue and what print settings did u use?
do you still have the files? theyre no longer on thingiverse
Hey! Sorry I didn’t see your comment! Hope you managed to sort this out in the end! :)
Hi! If the creator has removed the files from thingiverse, I’m unsure if it would be a breach of copyright to share the files out. Sorry :/
@@J.watkins_01 any idea where to find them legally? Can’t find a model where the visor isn’t attached to the face. They’re all so poorly done but your files looked proper
There are some still on thingiverse like this one: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3262805
That kinda what you’re looking for?
where does the chin cup go pls reply
I didn't print the chin cup as I don't really wear the helmets at all. But it would attach with straps through the part and connect to the helmet in the slots underneath where the mask joins the main helmet.
Hiw many kg’s of filament does this need?
I believe just over 1kg. I got two 1kg rolls to be safe.
@@J.watkins_01 alright! Thanks!
I also have an Anet A8, is there any way you could send me the files that you have after you spliced them? would be super appreciated
To slice files I'd recommend using meshmixer, as that's what I used. Its super simple and plenty of tutorials online to help.
Hey the files are missing do you have them to share
Yes but can u wear it
Yep, 100% wearable! Haha :)
how did u do the hinge
The hinge was designed in the files as 3d printed pivot points. I just needed to put it together!
@@J.watkins_01 Thank you
Is there any chance you are selling this hemet? Super interested in buying one off you. Drop me a message
The files aren't working for me. Either that or I'm dumb lol😭
Great job btw looks amazing
I believe the file creator took them down :/ Sorry about that.
Thanks for the nice feedback! Glad you like it :)
Amazing work ! You are very clever and talented ! I'f ever you want to sell the helmet please let me know.
Thanks Alot!
stl pls
You will see in the description that they are now unavailable. Sorry.
links are bad on file and designer
Files have been taken down
NO FILE
As said in the video description…. The designer has removed the files and the are now unavailable for download. These aren’t my files so I cannot provide them to anyone.
Sorry.
@@J.watkins_01 no probs all good thanks
Hey man, the link you attached for the file doesnt rly work anymore probably because the creator deleted it. Would you mind emailing me the files if its not too much to ask? :D
Hey! If the creator has removed the files, it’s probably not a good idea to share the files externally as it would probably be a breach of their copyright :( sorry mate
@@J.watkins_01 its alright man, i already got the files somewhere else
@@ilikejazz8070can you tell me where you got the files
please slide the link@@ilikejazz8070
PS i have a 3D printed helmet of the Biker Scout. Ive not built it yet. I spent a lot of money for it and the the XTC- 3D coating ive never used before and afraid to. What did you use to cover the whole helmet? I noticed you used car putty to fill seem lines. I tried sending a part but find it's tough to do so. I had no idea about this before i bought it. I also have two weapons E-11 Blaster and the DLT-19 Rifle Blaster. I'm in the same predicament with those and the seller i bought these from has vanished from eBay. On another note thats an excellent job on that Scout helmet.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
Thank you!
I’ve never personally used any kind of 3D print coating, but for a few of the helmets I got on well using spray filler primer. It’s basically a thick layer of spray paint that is a bit chalky and sandable to get rid of print lines. It gives a good coat to spray paint onto aswell. But it won’t fill large gaps like joint lines unfortunately.
Dead links! 🤬
As stated in the description, the designer has removed the files.
@@J.watkins_01 - Can you upload yours some where? Hopefully you still have them?
Lucky you have a printer. I guess you can make almost anything you wish. What sort of plastic does it use? Im curious to know and price for printer and the rolls of plastic. I take it you have to have it connected to a computer? Unfortunately ive no idea about them only that they create wonderful items,👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
