For the rebreather, you could even set it up to hook up to the sides of the helmet and actually use the vents in the back as air channels so it doesn't feel so restrictive!
Thanks so much for this video I was surprised with a 3D printer as a gift and this was the first print that I needed to print in sections cause it's a ender 3. I followed your instructions and product suggestions and it came out AMAZING!! This was super helpful 👏🏾 👌🏾
another great video Frank. Have you ever printed any figurines or scaled statues? I'm actually working on a 1/3 scale IronMan from "Did3D" but I'm following your tutorials for all the painting. It was great to see the layering of the gold and then multiple red. How long did you wait for the gold to dry before applying the red on top? Curious your thoughts on a base of silver instead of gold. Another thing I noticed was that when you did the clear coat it almost seemed to have dulled it in the first layer but then the 2nd pass brought back the clarity and color.
Hey Frank, how do you smooth the tiny lines in helmets like this Samus helmet and the red hood helmet? I find they're usually too small to fit a metal file into. Do you just use the filler primer for that or do you have another technique
@@FranklyBuilt awesome! What about aorind servos too? Would that impair their movements and if you don't cover them would anything like longer hair get caught in them you think?
@@FranklyBuilt my bad, brainfarted for a sec😂 Forgot it wasn't an iron man helmet, but I meant to specify that I'm referring to helmets with servos, like an iron man one hahah
i would love to see a printed green goblin helmet!! one from the sam raimi spiderman and now in spiderman nwh! i was telling my brother when i finally get a 3d printer ill be printing a ironman mk3 and mk85 helmet and the green goblin helmet! love the content keep it coming!
He has it linked in his description box, and I can testify to the fact that it’s perfect for small hands 😅 I have child sized hands and found it pretty comfortable to use and control without losing my grip.
Hey Frank, have you made a video talking about what makes prints flimsy and not rigid. Every time I print with my CR-10V2, my prints come out to be weak and brittle, I check for clogs and never see any so could I be anything else ?? Thanks.
Frank I followed your tutorial and everything looked great but when I woke up today I noticed the paint had started cracking. Do you know why this could have happened?
@@FranklyBuilt I think you are right... I got a bit excited and impatient and applied the clear coat about an hour after the red. I just recently re-watched the part where you said you waited a couple days.... Ooops! :D
Hi Frank I actually followed this today and have a question. When I applied the clear coat 1k it looked kinda foggy at first. Do you know if it clear ups with time? thanks
I just got my CR-10 and I've spent the entire week and tried to level the bed and I just gave up because nothing I tried was working; video, tutorials, etc just wasn't helping me. So I'm probably going to send it off to a professional to look at it and see if it was improperly built or its my dumbass that can't level a bed.
Just noticed something you did but didn't mention and I feel like its a must for clear coats. I saw you did a "dust layer" of the clear. People, that is an absolute crucial step in applying clears! You never want to spray your clear on wet! Most issues people have with clears are they just shoot them on heavy and pay the consequences in the end! Great work on this Helmet bro!
10:41 that's about the color her body armor should be. So if someone's doing the armor as well they could just stop there for the body pieces then add more layers of red for the helmet and chest.
Hi Frank. I wanted to see how you made the green visor for this helmet. I have a Vigilante helmet (from MAX series Peacemaker) with a dark red visor. I was wearing the costume when I saw you at SDCC last week! Anyway I did something similar to what you did. Traced out the 3D lens onto a plastic gel and glued it to the visor frame. It was barely held in because there isn't a large surface area to glue the visor to the frame. I ended up making a few spare visors in case the visor came off the frame. If I had a thicker visor it would be rigid and easier to attach to the frame. My idea was to cut out the visor in a thicker pexiglass and shaping it with a heat gun. This will be difficult to get right. So my question is, can you print a transparent visor with a resin printer? Have you ever tried it? I've seen a few videos which makes me think it's possible. I'm just not sure how transparent I can get it. I haven't taken the plunge into resin printing myself. P.S. I see that you applied a green film to the clear plastic sheet for your visor. Have you tried colored gels that are used for theater lighting? They are flexible like what you are using, but you can get them in many different colors. You can get an assortment of colors from Amazon to get the right shade. I used a green and red gel to get the color I wanted. Plain red was too light. Cheers mate!
I saw and played the game and it is a masterpiece, great game, definitely recommend checking it out, you will love it. Great job with working on the helmet, looks exactly like the game!!!🔥🔥💯🎨
This is honestly amazing work I personally like the dread helmet more than her other helmets. You should do one of Doom Slayers helmet from Doom Eternal or Master Chiefs helmet
Frank, can you advise which scaling direction should be more taken into consideration, X or Y. I'm measuring on meshmixer the X distance and Y distance of the head opening and trying to decide if I should scale uniformly or scale individually?
Holy crap!! Dude I didnt know that you could get a 3D print so polished! Seriously I bought a Samus helmet off Etsy it was $500 and it fell off my shelf and broke. :( And this one has lights and action looks SO SMOOTH. I also got 3 Power Ranger helmets and they were SO EXPENSIVE. I just bought a 3D printer now Im on my way to making all the props and helmets my heart desires!! Megaman X. Doom Guy! Im so excited thank you for the insparation.
That is SO COOL! It really does look amazing. Awesome job, Frank. With Samus' helmet now in the books, you're kind of obligated to make Link's Master Sword. Just kidding, you do you my dude 😂😂. Thanks for sharing and blessings!
Not only are your painting and building skills getting better, but your video production quality keeps improving as well. Your videos are on point with TESTED. Your editor (is it you?) Has been killing it lately. Also, the out take at the end might be my second favorite part of the video right behind the actual content.
Sir. You have no idea how much that means to me and my dedicated editor ( my wife) we’ve been managing and handling video edits much better now and she’s killing it
I have to say, I love the Samus helmet the best over your other helmets. Just because I grew up with playing Metroid and beating the game!! Wooohooo. Not saying I don't care for a good Iron Man movie from time to time. Keep up the amazing work.
Hey man I love the video as always the hole tinting thing I was glad to hear you did 3 try’s cuz I have tinted my helmets and it’s difficult lol I even had my wife try which she did grate. It’s really the cheapest way to go if you can do it 👍👍🇨🇦 have a good one
Question: How would you go about putting two smaller peices together with quite alot of detail? I looked at videos and the soldering iron looked best. However I dont want to damage the detail of the print.
Hi there…. Amazing stuff… I’ve only just come across you…. I was really hoping do you sell all your iron man files to print on cr10…. Specifically a cr10… so hopefully I can just plug and play…. And just print off everything without messing around with stuff….. I really hope u can help thanks
@@FranklyBuilt You know what that actually gives me hope! I thought you had to personally design most everything yourself, I'm glad that isn't the case!
For the rebreather, you could even set it up to hook up to the sides of the helmet and actually use the vents in the back as air channels so it doesn't feel so restrictive!
I love how everytime i need help with some specific thing such as adding Lights to the helmet and a cheap way to do it frank always comes through.
Heck yeah!
That respirator completes it! Great job.
Thanks so much for this video I was surprised with a 3D printer as a gift and this was the first print that I needed to print in sections cause it's a ender 3. I followed your instructions and product suggestions and it came out AMAZING!! This was super helpful 👏🏾 👌🏾
The helmet looks amazing!…makes me want to print on out now…🤔
the Respirator is a great idea visually and also helps to not fog up the visor!
Looks INCREDIBLE, dude!
Insane🤯
That's pretty cool
The respirator really does complete it!
Metroid games are my favourite

Nah I haven’t dove into that world yet
@@FranklyBuilt YET!!
You should totally make a doom outfit and mask dude
Damn this look so sick
I wanna make this
Step 1: buy a 3D printer
I seem to be stuck
Awesome helmet, it looks so real. I’ll be making mine out of foam lmao
DOPE 😎👌👍
Make predator from 1987 and glowing eyes. Think that would be well cool🙏
Hey Frank, how do you smooth the tiny lines in helmets like this Samus helmet and the red hood helmet? I find they're usually too small to fit a metal file into. Do you just use the filler primer for that or do you have another technique
I use some hand sand paper and filler if required
Another awesome video.
Thanks!
Do you put anything inside your helmets to avoid them shaking around or rattling on your head? Padding, foam, some sort of plastic crown?
Yep! I use foam and felt
@@FranklyBuilt awesome! What about aorind servos too? Would that impair their movements and if you don't cover them would anything like longer hair get caught in them you think?
What do you mean? Servos? In this type of helmet?
@@FranklyBuilt my bad, brainfarted for a sec😂 Forgot it wasn't an iron man helmet, but I meant to specify that I'm referring to helmets with servos, like an iron man one hahah
Haven't watched ya in a while glad to see you're doing well. Are you full-time now?
Nope! Still side hobby
Haven't played the new one yet 😅 but that's sick!
i would love to see a printed green goblin helmet!! one from the sam raimi spiderman and now in spiderman nwh! i was telling my brother when i finally get a 3d printer ill be printing a ironman mk3 and mk85 helmet and the green goblin helmet! love the content keep it coming!
It’s in work’
@@FranklyBuilt yes!!! Thank you!
Are you using armor Smith with the star boots
subscribed in hopes to see more like this genre
What 3D printer do you use?
Quick question for you, did you do any sanding on the primer before painting the helmet?
Always
What if you don't have a 3d printer? Is there a way you can still make a helmet without one?
Do these steps also work for resin printers?
Frank just an idea, what if you made Daredevils weapons, or poles, whatever you want to call them??, or Wolverines helmet from X-Men??
Nah I haven’t yet. Wolverines helmet may be cool
Cool cool 👍🏼👍🏼
Great job with your props!!
Do you run or have any experience with using a .6mm nozzle and heigher layer heights for helmets? I’d love to hear your thoughs on it
I use a .6mm nozzle all the time
@@FranklyBuilt Ah ok thanks!
What model orbital sander do you use? I've been wanting one to replace my mouse sander but so many orbital sanders are super big for my tiny hands.
I use a black and decker one. It’s great

Hey Frank. What type of gold spray paint do you use for your Ironman helmet/suit?
Great content as usual 👍
Hey! I show it in this video 😅 same I use on everything. You can also find it linked in my description box!
Frank I followed your tutorial and everything looked great but when I woke up today I noticed the paint had started cracking. Do you know why this could have happened?
You might’ve not waited long enough to apply the next coat!
@@FranklyBuilt I think you are right... I got a bit excited and impatient and applied the clear coat about an hour after the red. I just recently re-watched the part where you said you waited a couple days.... Ooops! :D
Isn't her helmet in dread a matte finish? Not glossy
It definitely looks matte in the game. But that gloss tho… 🤤
@@kaylaambriana1101 yeah i like the gloss too but i like accuracy more
It depends on the game and the lighting. Dread is a very animated game, so it’s totally open to interpretation
Add a voice changer to make it sound like you’re talking thru electronics and sound less like bane.
Hi Frank I actually followed this today and have a question. When I applied the clear coat 1k it looked kinda foggy at first. Do you know if it clear ups with time? thanks
Yep! Usually it clears up over time
I beat metroid prime, frank

You should spend some time in my Intro to 3D printing videos

Hate to say this but, the helmet is ment for woman because samus is a woman.

Yes you’re right! I’m so sorry I skipped that 🤦♂️
@@FranklyBuilt you’re good! Just wanted to point that out. I get asked frequently about my clear coat application.
THank you for pointing that out. I mentioned it in my other comment and was confused why. Now I will look up dust layer for clear!
@@offearth3d just to be clear... by "dust layer" you mean just do a very very light layer first? thank you
@@thecyberhobbit that is correct. Dust the entire piece, let it setup for about 5 minutes before you move to a wetter coat.
10:41 that's about the color her body armor should be. So if someone's doing the armor as well they could just stop there for the body pieces then add more layers of red for the helmet and chest.
That’s a great idea!!
It definitely needed that respirator without it, it would’ve been incomplete I like it 🤘🏼
Right?
I know this is an old video... but did you print the helmet as one piece? and How long was that print.. my slicer says like 4 days lol
Great video by any chance do you sell some of these helmets ?
What did you use for the primer?

Make a transformers Optimus prime head
How long did you leave the red to dry?
Make zire to do a dark samus helm 👏
Make more of these!

You need to scale them all together
super awesome video man. really helpful tips throughout
Looks great frank! Now to complete things you should print out samsus' Metroid suit helmet from the end of the game
Ooooo
Second, finally posting this, I started building one my self

Bad ass man!!!!
do tek suit
sweet
Hey frank! Just applied my red metallic coat and it looks way too dark in my opinion. Did I lay it on too thick?
Probably yeah. You need to build it up slowly
I’m trying to get into making helmets and models like this and I was wondering what a good starter helmet project would be?
I like the mk85 iron man helmets or a Nova helmet
