I haven't been to a con in over a decade now, but as a former 501st member, I don't think you stressed the sweating part quite strongly enough. :-D This was a great watch, I still love seeing other folks' costumes and creative processes even though I don't get out to do this stuff myself anymore. Thanks! Looking forward to the next installment!
There are small fans you can add to helmets to help with heat. I've taken to trying to use hard hat inserts on helmets to make them a little more comfortable and it allows better air flow, especially when you add the tiny fans. Doesn't eliminate heat, but does reduce it.
Your a cool guy UJ. Great videos. Great work that you do and you really enjoy what you do. Love the helmet UJ. Can't wait to see the resin printer Magneto helmet.
Those SKS Prop guys are everywhere!! Big fan of those fellows! I have not tried a helmet yet on my CR-10, but I plan to try a cyberpunk 2077 helmet very soon, THANK YOU for the inspiration. Excellent costume, great helmet build.
Awesome video -- looking forward to the rest of the series! I've always wanted to make a full-body armor cosplay of some kind, but was always hesitant about going the fiberglass+bondo route back in the day. Now that large format 3D printing is here, there is no excuse for me not to try it! I think I'm going to start planning my next build now... :D
great video, look forward to the rest. similarly I started a Jim Lee era Magneto costume years ago, out of foam and a slush cast helmet that remains unfinished. the paint for the helmet just refused to co=operate so it's lingered on a shelf. maybe time to pull it back out.
hey uncle jessy, was hoping to get some pointers, i know this is a late comment considering this video has been out for a long while now, im printing a magneto mask and am having trouble trying to get the measurements down, i measured my head near the brow area and the circumference is about 24 in, and need to figure out how to scale it to match considering my software only does mm. any help?
I know the feeling of not finishing a pepakura helmet...had a Master Chief helmet for years waiting to sand, until the day I gave up and threw it away...lol now with 3d print, pepakura its dead.
Hi, quick question: what would be the best (and most newbie friendly) software for scaling helmets like this to make sure they fit? I've seen your video about cosplay calipers and also the one from the original caliper 'inventor' but I found the software he recommended (netfabb) very clunky to use. Is there any program where you can just open your model and easily get a distance measurement between two points on the inside of the helmet?
I wish it was that simple. I also made a video called helmet scaling that shows how you can slice a thin part of the helmet. Print that as a test piece. You can use meshmixer to make the slice which might be easier that netfab
Jessy, love your videos. The helmet is great. I was looking at your other videos; do you have anything that discusses resin and supports and how to deal with the little nubs left behind? With all of the printing that you do, I was hoping that you had some sort of tutorial on post processing and how to deal with all of that. Maybe something on the correct Chitubox settings to deal with the supports to make them easier to handle post printing but still provide good support during the printing process. Thanks for everything and keep up the great work.
Nope not at all. I used Bondo Spot putty which was totally different than regular bondo. Spot putty is useful for those little spots. I primarily use Woodfiller to smooth/fillout major gaps
@@UncleJessy Thanks. This is my first mask/helmet and I can't wait to see how it looks after I'm done. I'm not sure if I can do the 67 hours print time again lol.
Make sure to checkout my interview with Adam Savage over at Tested!!!

Love the structure of this video! Seeing this thing in person was insane!
Luke101 I believe you mean, wing it and hope for the best 😂🤣
Uncle Jessy you killed it. Making a second head ornament was a great idea!

Magneto is the best villain
I’ve wanted a magneto helmet for years! I’ve recently found your channel and I love everything you’re doing here. I need a 3D printer is my verdict.
Very appropriate use of magnets

Great vid! Can’t wait for the next ones. 👍🏻

You did a great on the helmet bud. Clean shiny finishes are always the hardest to do!

Watched the Tested video first, congrats!
Congrats for the Adam Savage interview 😍
That's pretty awesome
What paints exactly were those? Can you link them? I am working on a mandelorian helmet and that look is perfect! Awesome job!
I paused the video and figured it out I think: www.duplicolor.com/product/metalcast-anodized-automotive-paint/
I have a couple questions, how long did the helmet take to 3d print? And also, If you don't have access to Metalcast, would any metallic Car paint do?
Hey btw, congrats on a finished costume! I remember you saying it was a goal you wanted to get to. And what an awesome one at that.
Wow, Looking great
Thanks for sharing :-)
Hello, your work is magnificent! I would like to make the same helmet. Can you tell me what filler/paint you used? THANKS
Ah yes, bondo, the prototype material of champions.
Wich spray did u use for the color ? U said only metalcast. Can u expend more a bit kn it ?
great video, look forward to the rest. similarly I started a Jim Lee era Magneto costume years ago, out of foam and a slush cast helmet that remains unfinished. the paint for the helmet just refused to co=operate so it's lingered on a shelf. maybe time to pull it back out.
So EPIC !
great work jess
He’s my absolute favorite, I can never find this costume anywhere. can you make me one?!
Great job.

Print the helmet on a Phenom....DO IT!!!
Two part resin helmet coming soon!!
Uncle Jessy 2 part? Doesn't fit in one go?
I know the feeling of not finishing a pepakura helmet...had a Master Chief helmet for years waiting to sand, until the day I gave up and threw it away...lol now with 3d print, pepakura its dead.
Wow
Hearing the idea of on all resin helmet both excites me and fills me with dread. It's so brittle!! 😂

Cool
Is bondo absolutely necessary for sanding the top of a helmet?
Nope not at all. I used Bondo Spot putty which was totally different than regular bondo. Spot putty is useful for those little spots. I primarily use Woodfiller to smooth/fillout major gaps
@@UncleJessy Good to know, thanks. I just finished printing the Knights of Ren: Monk mask and the top will need a lot of sanding.
@@SkinnyTrini04 Sand, then woodfill, prime, sand, spot putty, sand some more, sand some more, sand some more haha
@@UncleJessy Thanks. This is my first mask/helmet and I can't wait to see how it looks after I'm done. I'm not sure if I can do the 67 hours print time again lol.
Batman armor
How were you “lucky” enough to build a costume? You took on the work and own the results: no luck
cope foxs young magneto and ian are peak tfs wrong with you????????
