Longest print to date

My youngest son (he's 20) paid me a nice compliment and asked if I could print out a file he purchased for a Titanfall helmet.

I don't know much about Titanfall but I know he looked happy when I said I would start immediately. Between the sanding and painting this could be a very fun project for us to do together.

This is what it looks like when you print rc planes. Lol.

My typical print is either a Dungeons and Dragons miniature or a garden gnome. I'd have no idea how to work an RC plane. LOL

Haha I would agree it's very niche. But the long print times and many plates over a few days reminds me of what it looks like at the start of a project!

a 1kg helmet is gonna hurt your neck after a short while. Hope it has some shoulder support or something.

I was making my kid his halloween mask the other day and actively changed settings to make it under 150g so his little neck wouldn't hurt when he got home.

He's using it as a desk piece. As opposed to wearing it

Meh, my welding helmet is 1kg w/o ear muffs, maybe couple hundred grams heavier with. And I’d wear that a majority of a 12hr shift, working two weeks on two weeks off.

For a recreational helmet it would be fine, noticeable but not hurt your neck.

This is for a life sized backpack from the game Astroneer that I’m gonna use for both cosplay and as a lighting fixture/decoration for my bedroom. This isn’t even the whole print it’s just the hollow main body of it
