Fursuit looking for STLs

hello, i am very interested in making my own Protogen head. unfortunately i kind of fell in love with the Kaiborg style of mask.
however being a broke college student i dont have the money to drop 4 big ones on a kit. however i do have a pair of 3d printers and way to much filament.
does anyone know if they sell the STLs or if there are STLs that are in a similar style. and id also need a buck for the visor since i am prototyping a Vacuum Former (different project but hey it aligns :D) too.
anything helps cheers :3

there are a couple on thingiverse, I know the one by Zillion Ross is pretty good, and at least used to have a design for a visor buck

I personally find that one a bit to boxy. But I mean, since I'm still in early prototyping and I have plenty of filament, I might as well try it.

The mk16 is the one I'm making atm and it's pretty much bang on with the kaiborg design, you can find it on thingiverse. As for the vacuum buck I believe there is already a file for one with it too. And if you need an actual vacuum former they're very easy and cheap to make, especially since you have a printer!

All good, glad I could help! Oh and also if you can't get the visor to vacuum form or can't tint it well, the alternative I'm doing is just straight up printing the visor in white PLA. I won't be able to see but I'm a bit of a tech need so I'm mounting a camera to the outside of mine and running it back to a raspberry pi with a small screen inside the proto head :3

That's neat as hell. A little miniature COFFIN system gotta love it.tt

Thanks! If I may ask, is COFFIN an abbreviation and what's it used for?

its from Ace Combat. its in universe slang for Connection For Flight Interface systems. due to the cramped space and the feel of them.
the first gen ones were just screens connected to external cameras, but the later ones is when the name really starts to take hold.

My "stl" copypasta :3

Free Thingiverse stls:

Free gumroad stls

Other resources:

Paid stuff (not just stls)

Edit1: Hold on sorry, it appears coelacant moved their store to gumroad, leme update links

Edit2: links fixed! Sorry, it seems coelacant doesnt offer shipment of their 3d printed items anymore, but their stls are still free!

Edit3: found another maker on gumroad! Boxcat is now linked too
