This is the most in depth and complete motorized Iron Man helmet build I've seen. Complete with all of the necessary info and parts. I'd like to donate to your cause, you've saved me hours of figuring this out!!!! Thanks!

@@sgplays8622 After a few hiatuses, some voluntary, some not, I'm happy with the paint and now putting in the electronics. I'll post about it when I can
So I just finished my first attempt at this project and would like to add some feedback and points for others who attempting this project for the first time. First off thank you so much for putting this out, everything works perfectly, the documents gives proper information and your build videos are very helpful! Sizing Ring - If you are unsure if its too tight for your head, scale it up by a bit. The padding will help make up the difference. I have a very fat head and cheeks, so when I assembled mine at stock scale it was a little too right for my liking (remember there are components inside that need room as well) Electronics - The code is correct, if you are having any issues it is most likely your hardware. One thing some other comments I've seen and I have also experienced is the servos seems to try to continue to turn instead of a full stop when the face plate is closed, creating a sound and generating some heat. Not sure if its an hardware issue or a coding issue. Eyes - With the new coding for the lights turning off when the face plate is up, this has made the potentiometer no longer "work" when the eyes are lit up. Adjusting the brightness now requires you turn the knob, reset the face plate, see brightness and then repeat. Servos - He designed this helmet to have all components contained in the helmet, however this means that the battery life will be very limited. if you want to change less batteries, consider using a separate power source for the servos. I plan on doing this and hiding the power source down the back of my shirt to my pants pocket. Thanks again so much! I am looking forward to building my 2nd one that properly fits my fat head!
Wow, thats really great. When I was little (about 6 years old) I saw first Ironman movie so I wanted to wear his mask. So I am gonna make it. Thanks for that files because you made my dream now!
@@BoxandLoop Completely new to the programming the Arduino, any chance of a short video of the programming side? Parts almost done printing. Getting excited!
so, my son says he wants an iron man mask that has a motorized lift for the face...jumped on thingiverse and found your awesome design! Printing it out now. Thanks for your awesome work.
Thanks for the files, and the instructions starting this as my next print project, still somewhat new... looking for an arduino board is there an updated board I could use rather than the one listed? TIA
That screw should come with the servo. It holds the arm in place. If it does not, I'll check the size. I think it is m2.5 bolt, but let me double check
@@BoxandLoop yeah maybe mine came with slightly different parts, there's 3 silver tapping screws, same size, those screw the piece in place just fine, then there's 2 very small black screws, they will screw the top white plastic parts to the servo but they are not long enough to screw the plastic part on top as well.
Hey, cool Iron Man helmet, Iron Man is my favorite Marvel character. I would only suggest put a little music in the background, RUclips has some good music you can put on your videos so its not so quiet
Great design! I started printing this and I'm about 1/2 way done. Love the instructional videos and detailed PDF. Do you have a link for the pads by chance?
@TaiRone Wassup OK, I was way off. I checked today and the face took 20 hours and one of the dome pieces was 6 hours. I think there are 4-5 dome pieces since my printer is smaller and I did it in sections. Not sure what I was thinking. :)
how exactly does the Arduino work im new to this, does it work like shown straight out of the box or is there something else that needs to be done to it
Can you point me to the right direction? How to bend the led eyes properly and how to assemble it correctly? I have a soldering iron and a normal hair dryer
I want to program an arduino to use a push button to move 2 servos just like yours, but for another application. Do you have a video with the arduino code for that ?
Seems pretty easy, I will start one ASAP, when sanding and all that do you think walls are too thin?, also eyes, have you added the led eyes to it? separate video for that? P.D. I just found the PDF explaining, awesome work of you, is this MK 3 or 7? PDF for mask with leds says MK3 and all others says MK7, I pretend to build the whole armour, wish me luck. Thanks, great work.
My friend, first of all, thank you for the work, I have completed the assembly, only the edges of the ears look puffy, the mask gets stuck on it, do you have a solution for this, where did I go wrong?
Having error codes in IDE when inputting the Arduino code. Is this common? Verified Port and Board - Nano Every. Version 2.0.1 All help is welcome!!! TY
How did you print the visor? Because in every orientation ive tried with a brim... its came loose from the build plate. Except curve down, which needs a lot of sanding to be presentable.
Quick question. In the pdf you said the sizing ring should fit over my ears, which it does, but it doesn't fit over my head, chin and ears at the same time. Is that ok?
I live in the UK and can't get the same glue as you, are there any alternatives like epoxy or super glue that I should use? Btw amazing video and amazing make.
I love this! I wonder, is there a way to make a button thats wireless? like a 3d printed remote that has a button on it and when you press it, the faceplate opens?
could use either IR or bluetooth and you could use esp8266 or WEEMOS d1 minis (same thing) seeing as how they are relatively cheap and use arduino code
The servo arm is held by m2.5 bolts. In case your servos are a bit different, check which bolts fit your servos, maybe m2. Passive arms should use m2 bolts

This is awesome! Great feedback and description. Definitely room to improve
@@BoxandLoop What separate power source did you use boss?
@@DoctorNOS use either AA or AAA batteries
@@BoxandLoop 4-AA batteries are ok? Will it blow the Arduino?
how did you do the sizing did you resize every single model because then the screws wont fit or am I wrong pls explain aaaa
Wow, thats really great. When I was little (about 6 years old) I saw first Ironman movie so I wanted to wear his mask. So I am gonna make it. Thanks for that files because you made my dream now!

Great! Let me know if you got some questions and do share the progress
@@BoxandLoop Hey I ran into a problem, the brain base in your files doesn't have the spot for the switch only for the Arduino nano board.
Mishap with uploaded files. Fixed now
Can you print one for me and send it?
how it went?
Thank you so much for making all of the files free to download
Really Inspiring I got my 3D printer 2 years ago and just come to this Channel and I almost done just the electronics parts need to assemble
That's awesome!
Currently printing the parts and have the hardware on order. So excited to get this together. Thank you for the instructions and the files!
Awesome! Enjoy
@@BoxandLoop Completely new to the programming the Arduino, any chance of a short video of the programming side? Parts almost done printing. Getting excited!
I've considered making a wiring/coding video. Now that there is some demand for it, I'll work on it
@@BoxandLoop Awesome! Can't wait to see it!
Love the use of mechanical fasteners
Love it. I am working on a helmet but it is too big. It is another design. Once I finish I think I will do this one too!
Can never have too many helmets. Stark had 65 at least
@@BoxandLoop Lol. I think 2 might be a good round number for me. This is a ton of work!

That's wonderful to hear! You are welcome and enjoy
FINISHED IT!!!!!!!!
looks absolutely stunning thank you soooo much
Thanks for the files, and the instructions starting this as my next print project, still somewhat new... looking for an arduino board is there an updated board I could use rather than the one listed? TIA
Sure thing. Nano seems to be most available and I haven't tested other boards so can't really recommend any
tip: put small springs on the hinge so it goes open more stable
Thank you! Was my main criticism when i was trying to decide whether to build this or not. Hopefully this makes it look a bit smoother/more stable
What do you mean exaxtly?
@@raodio Have you tried it with the springs?
@@applepie3597 ummm I'm not sure. Was a while ago 😅 I think there might face been another comment here that I replied to
It will work with SG90 servos? I see they have similar dimensions.
This is so cool. You should try to make the mark 5 helmet and rig it but I think it would be more complex as it’s like 3 pieces of a faceplate.
Thank you. I thought about making mark 5 and it's on my list of future projects
i made an motorized iron helmet
thanks to you!!
How do you put the plastic arm into the servo?
@@gearheadanime look at this video 1:20 plz
I’m having some trouble on the Arduino code. It is telling me the servoTop was not declared in this scope
And print also some part to take the wires out of visible. Nice design!
Thank you. I used helmet padding to hide the wires
I need this for a holiday project
Have fun with it
@@BoxandLoop Will do, stay awesome bro 👍👍
Maybe I missed it. But what LED did you use?
They are led panels, there should be a link for it in description
@@BoxandLoop I didn’t see a link for leds. Are my eyes that bad? Lol
My mistake. It's under this video
ruclips.net/video/_ayVGPpSBAY/видео.html
@@BoxandLoop thank you sir! We should team up and do a vid together or something. I finally cracked 2 million views on one!
That's awesome! We could do something. My current project is MK5 helmet with all the moving parts of the face.
you got a solid sub mate, nicely done!
Thank you and welcome
at 1:29 what screws are you using? none of the screws in the suggested kit nor the screws that came with the servo will attach those pieces
That screw should come with the servo. It holds the arm in place. If it does not, I'll check the size. I think it is m2.5 bolt, but let me double check
@@BoxandLoop yeah maybe mine came with slightly different parts, there's 3 silver tapping screws, same size, those screw the piece in place just fine, then there's 2 very small black screws, they will screw the top white plastic parts to the servo but they are not long enough to screw the plastic part on top as well.
I see, then it depends on the servo. For the ones I used, it's m2.5 bolts. For your servo, try figuring out which screw/bolt is used
Hey, cool Iron Man helmet, Iron Man is my favorite Marvel character. I would only suggest put a little music in the background, RUclips has some good music you can put on your videos so its not so quiet
Good idea
are the little screws needed? Or can I get away without them
They are only used for alignment and testing fit. You don't actually need them when the parts are all glued together
Wow! So cool! Mad skills! Thank you for the video!
Thank you and enjoy
some of the self tapping screws are breaking do i stand a chance trying to drill out?
Thanks for sharing this. Coffee bought to show my gratitude, hopefully others will too.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Hello .. great project. I try it ... but i have problem with compilation code to board. Where is a problem ? Thank you for answer
What is the error?
Did you use tree support for the for mask?
Yes I did
Great build but where is the file for the pi case that goes into the helmet?
Thank you. This runs on arduino nano and there are two parts for the case.
@@BoxandLoop lol.... ok, soooo where is the file for the two part Arduino Nano case?
@@threatlevelmidnite7214 they should be on thingiverse. Couple files starting with "brain
Is it just me getting errors on arduino code? Great work, thanks for sharing
Sure thing. Code should work, maybe ide isn't setup. Which error are you seeing?
The right command is #include "ServoEasing.hpp" worked with no errors instead of #include "ServoEasing.h"
Just a heads up? The link for the battery pack in the description is for AA, not AAA batteries
What m2 bolt do i need?
Some 10mm, 6mm should be good
Great design! I started printing this and I'm about 1/2 way done. Love the instructional videos and detailed PDF. Do you have a link for the pads by chance?
Great!

What is the weight and height that this Ironman outfit will fit in?
@TaiRone Wassup a few hours for some of the larger ones. I don't have an exact time but I'd say about 12 hours of total time.
@TaiRone Wassup I'll try later tonight to see if I can put mine in cura to get you better times. I just have an ender 3 pro.
@TaiRone Wassup OK, I was way off. I checked today and the face took 20 hours and one of the dome pieces was 6 hours. I think there are 4-5 dome pieces since my printer is smaller and I did it in sections. Not sure what I was thinking. :)
very good ....compliments...sorry but the ARDUINO code where i can found?
Is tis design okay for commercial use?
What do you mean? Do you want to sell printed parts?
Hi
Thanks for the files, this design really great.
But I can't verify that code 😭
Please help me
Bought all the screws on the parts list - but the instructions don't say which screws to use for which part.
Yeah, I'm having a real nightmare putting this thing together.
Hey I was wondering if I could use super glue instead of weldon 16
Sure
how exactly does the Arduino work im new to this, does it work like shown straight out of the box or is there something else that needs to be done to it
You'll need to upload code to it. There are instructions in the PDF
Did you have to sand down the border of the plastic piece attached to the servo? All the extra pieces that came with the servo have an border.
How do you see with the LED strips blinding you? are there slits under/over them for viewing?
If you turn down the brightness, you can see through them. Full brightness is for photos, not so much for seeing.
long shot but is there a video of the audrino programming?
Love the print but I am having issues with the coding can you help?
Can you please name all electric components used?
Sure, there is a full list in the PDF files that comes with STL files
Can you point me to the right direction? How to bend the led eyes properly and how to assemble it correctly? I have a soldering iron and a normal hair dryer
Hair dryer should work, it just might take a bit longer
ruclips.net/video/Lot4ohdvP_k/видео.html
I want to program an arduino to use a push button to move 2 servos just like yours, but for another application. Do you have a video with the arduino code for that ?
Take a look at the code. You'll need to take out some parts, but that's it
at 1:33, what are those tiny bolts you put in the hole?
Those are m2.5 bolts that match the servo
@@BoxandLoop do you mind linking it?
www.amazon.com/Stainless-Hexgon-Socket-Metric-Assortment/dp/B07VZTSHB4

Plenty strong after finish and assembly. There are eyes and a video for them. Enjoy
Hi can you please send me the model of the helmet and the electrical parts?
I’m having trouble printing the faceplate. Which way did you orient it?
Upright and tilted a but forward. Make sure the bottom is well supported and there are supports going to the brow
Hello , Face.stl file does not fit in my printer, how do I separate the face.stl file to be able to print it in two parts?
I use simplify to print
Use meshmixer or slic3r

What screw size is used
Varies. Just use the size that will not poke through. Depends on how your printer is calibrated
I'm looking for the link for the hardware. My helmets almost done printing but I can't seem to find the motors ect on like Amazon
There are links in the description
How did you print the visor?
Because in every orientation ive tried with a brim... its came loose from the build plate.
Except curve down, which needs a lot of sanding to be presentable.
I printed on its side vertically with tree supports
Which orientation did you print the cheeks? Trouble with it
Upright on the long side. Large brim and supports. Which printer you running?
@@BoxandLoop Artillery Sidewinder X1 300x300x400
Yeah, it should work fine. Which troubles are you seeing?
It worked, upright on the long.
How many parts do you have to glue and weld or does it all just snap together?
Quick question. In the pdf you said the sizing ring should fit over my ears, which it does, but it doesn't fit over my head, chin and ears at the same time. Is that ok?
That should be fine
Nice design! quick question, have you wear it?
The servos that you link in the description are unavailable right now, do you have any recommendations for servos that would still fit?
You could look for the servos by the same name. Ali, ebay, depends where you are located
@@BoxandLoop okay cool, thanks!
Hello is there a servo that’s a little cheaper but works the same ?
Not that I know
3d print of dome01 failed. Which orientation works best for this piece?
Try upright with the visor piece sitting flat on the bed. Give enough supports and hit go
What lengths of m2 and m2.5 bolts did you use?
Between 4-8mm
Is there a print for the eyes, so that you can see through them?
Sure, there is another video for eye setup. They are dimmable
I live in the UK and can't get the same glue as you, are there any alternatives like epoxy or super glue that I should use? Btw amazing video and amazing make.
I use acetone to glue pla together. Superglue also works.
@@doubletap800 thank you for this, I think I'll go with super glue since it's easier, this is my first make
Thank you. Super glue would be my guess. I have not tried it yet, but I hear it works well for others
i was wondering where to get the electric part
Check the description
How much time priting all elementy?
Depends on you printer. A couple days
There are no instructions how to mount the eyes. Will I drill through the lights, put them between face.stl and sandwich the eyes.stl on top?
I've got a whole video on eye assembly
Can It work with MG90 servos
Yes but youll need to trim the edge where the wire is on the servo
Is it possible to use a normal arduino nano for this project? The everys are harder to find
That should work just fine
Question, in the video it looks like the ear pieces are barely connecting, are they solid when actually glued on?
And do you think youl make an updated version of the helmet
wow nice and detailed tutorial. Would this work with mg90 servos?
Hi could u help me with the library? like the url for downloading and implementing to the arduino ide?
Regarding the size of a head, how much space would you leave for my head to enter with the entire mechanism?
Where are the bearings used? I can't seem to find a picture or video with them in it.
They go on the "passive" servo arm to help lift the facemask
@@BoxandLoop Which size bearings did you use?
the code gives me error: exit status 1
'servoTop' was not declared in this scope
???
I think it's the line breaks in the code
Is it enougth using the tipical blue sg90 servo (2 for open the mask)?
i was wondering what screws you use to put it together exactly and can you dim the lights with the whole setup
The eyes are dimmable and the screws are m1.4x5. the screws should not go through the second part
I am having an issue printing the ear covers. The bottom is not totally flat and even if I print on a raft it fails. Any tips? Thanks.
In cura, there is an option to pick a face to lay flat. Not sure which slicer you are using
Which size of screws you uses on each part? Can you specify please
I love this! I wonder, is there a way to make a button thats wireless? like a 3d printed remote that has a button on it and when you press it, the faceplate opens?
Sure possible. Will need something to send/transmit the signal
could use either IR or bluetooth and you could use esp8266 or WEEMOS d1 minis (same thing) seeing as how they are relatively cheap and use arduino code
the esp8266 has both wifi and bluetooth capabilities, not sure about the arduino nano every
what are the screws that hold the servo arms on the ones with the servos are too short? and hold the "passive" arm as well?
The servo arm is held by m2.5 bolts. In case your servos are a bit different, check which bolts fit your servos, maybe m2. Passive arms should use m2 bolts
Thanks for the files, can I ask how you arranged the faceplate on the slicer having issues with my prints failing…
On an Ender 3 V2 I positioned the face place standing up, then lean it forward about 15 to 20 degrees. Use tree supports.
what screws do i use you didnt poit at the
size
where did u find the 3d model of the helmet with all the stuff necesary for the electronics?
Can you still see through the helmet with the LEDs?
Огромное спасибо дружище. Ты мой почетный супергерой.
What size
Bearings were those?
Hi and thanks for your great work!!
You are welcome and enjoy
I don't see in the video where the bearings go. Can you help me a bit? Need to know how many bearings I need
How do you orientate the face on the print bed
Mouth down. Upright and leaning a bit forward so that the brie sees the build plate
