*Steps to sand, fill, and prime*
*Sand*
-120 grit sandpaper
-220 grit sandpaper
-320 grit sandpaper
*Fill* (wash print before applying filler primer)
-coat the entire 3D print (apply about 2 coats and wait for each coat to dry before applying second coat) (stay 8-10 inches away)
*sand*
-sand the primer with 400 grit
*wash*
-wash the print off
*glaze spot putty*
-fill big cracks and lines
-wait to dry and then sand with 400 grit
*give another coat of fill primer*
*wet sand*
-wet the helmet and then sand with 600 grit sandpaper
-wet sand again with 1500 grit sandpaper
*wash*
Does the hight grit (1500) sandpaper get rid of the sanding marks? I’m getting ride of the layer line but am seeing sanding marks
@@domthemom2270 Yes
do you wash with soap and water or just water?
@@gage.does.everything here ya go 2:52

...few tips from a painter, use a glove when you're handling the liquid bondo! that's chemicals getting in to your skin there! Second, as a pre paint layer it's better to use 800 grit wet, 1200 is actually pretty fine and a pre polishing grit, it will be bad for adhesion, maybe not directly when you paint it, but in the longer run, like a few years chances are (depending on the paint) that it's gonna crack or come loose...lastly, USE SCOTCH PADS! for this type of sanding, red scotch pads are excellent here, they are a savior to sand difficult places without damaging small details and are also great to use as a final wet sand before painting.
I know, I need to remember gloves when using bondo. I'll definitely try the scotch pads. Thanks.
Came to say the same about the high grit sanding. I would say 600-800 is a great stopping place for paint. If you are going to cut and polish then the finer grit will do well for that glass like finish.
Use scotch pads instead of the 120 - 800/1200 sand paper?
@@Sal_Sal27 As a pre paint sanding stage, 1200 is way too high...800 max, the nice thing about scotch is that it can easy sand not flat surfaces.
@@peterdocter4659 my bad. I meant, when do I use the scotch pads?
My God...someone who actually takes the time to explain the process rather than just rush through it, and actually EXPLAINS what products THEY. ARE. USING.
One of the most irritating things people do is, "Now I'm gonna do this but I'm not gonna bother telling you what I'm using to accomplish the desired effect."
..................
Well then, what's the POINT of a how to video if you DON'T tell us what you're using??
Everything I wanted to know has been answered in this video.
And because you did such an excellent job explaining it, I subscribed.
I'm definitely gonna watch your other videos, thanks for making such great content!
Thanks man. I really appreciate it. Got some new stuff out soon. Have a family emergency going on right now but should be getting a vid out this week.
Fantastic video. Thankyou! Relatively new to 3D printing so it's great to see someone going back to basics and being able to see someone else's approach.
Thanks. It's a really fun project and I think showing all the little steps really helps. 😀
I'm using this as my BIBLE right now. This is the most clear video I've seen, and I thank you SO much! It seems like everyone has their own process for this, but a lot of those processes seem unnecessarily repetitive and complicated.
Plan on buying my first 3d resin model and watching these for what to do when I get it. Very helpful
Love this series of videos! I've been wanting to get into doing my own helmet for a while now but have been pretty intimidated by the whole process. Finally had an opportunity arise to give me an excuse to make a helmet for a RPG. Ordered my helmet from Villainous and while I'm waiting for it I checked out their FAQ's which lead to your videos... and I must say... I have quite a bit of anxiety being a noob and attempting my first build, but your videos have definitely eased my concerns and built my confidence. Thank you for posting the series!!
Thanks so much for this video. Ive always wanted to print and finish props/helmets. Im currently halfway through my first one and it already feels glass smooth, thanks😛
A video I just needed!! Super straight forward and I love it! I’m a cosplayer, got some prints commissioned for me and about to start sanding away!
Awesome! Glad it helped. Make sure to watch the painting vid too. :)
Just what I was looking for. Please don’t stop doing these guides! Incredibly comprehensive. Kudos to you. Subscribing. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Welcome aboard! And Thanks!! :)
Man, this is by far the best video I have seen to prepare my 3d prints for painting. You would think there are thousands of videos like this one on the internet but, trust me, you only need this one!!!!
Thank you so much
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching. :)
You are super awesome! I've been wanting to make a replica helmet of a character my fiance loves and I was scared about making a mess and ruining the print. You've explained things so clearly and show what you're doing to the point where I'm not anywhere near as terrified of this. Thank you so much for sharing. The final product in the next video turned out so amazing that I'm going to for sure have a hard time deciding between the matte or the polished shiny look.
Glad I could help! Either one looks great, but yeah, its a tough choice. :)
This video is amazing. Thank you. I just got my printer yesterday and I’m running tests to calibrate it but these kind of videos let’s me know what to do once my prints are done.
Glad it was helpful!
This is really helpful. I have all my supplies and am just about to start the sanding stage on my first helmet print. I appreciate your help.
Glad it helped! good luck! :)
This video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time THANK YOU SO MUCH I’ve been struggling to get my mandalorian helmet smooth
Glad I could help! It's a lot of work, but really worth it in the end. 😀
This is such a detailed video. I’m making (more like putting together) a mandalorian cosplay and just bought a lot of 3D printed armour. Will definitely be using this video for reference
Glad it was helpful!
The most detailed video so far I've seen, step by step with voice and clear demonstration. 👍👏
Wow, thanks!
Just found this video and channel. Amazingly easy to follow instructions for someone who is brand new to this stuff. Thank you very much for taking the time to put this together!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Good to see just how much each sanding step eliminates layer lines. I’ve also didn’t know of the glazing compound so will be picking up some of that.
Cool, glad it helped. :)
Started and completed my first successful project with this wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing the process so that complete beginners like myself can get started.
You are so welcome! :)
Thank you for the guide, I am printing a helmet for a customer shortly and I will be referring to this a lot. Thank you for the the small tips and tricks as well, much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
I used to watch these videos just out of boredom. Now I’m watching cause I’m prepping my own prints for painting. Thanks for showing that anyone can do this
Great in depth video, got a mando helmet for Christmas and have been struggling but this helped me a lot thank you!
Awesome! Glad it helped. :)
I’m printing this helmet for Halloween to go out with my friends in our own dc costumes and this video is freaking awesome thank you so much. NOBODY went into this much depth, so this helped a lot.
Awesome man! So glad it helped!! :)
How did it go!?
@@supergamertv8293 He's stiill sanding it :)
wrapping the sandpaper around a sponge...now that is genius! I learned something new today :D
Glad it helped. Saves my fingers at the end of the day. :)
I want to prepare my prints for silicone 2-part moulds. Invaluable demo, thank you.
You are very welcome! Yeah, I would love to try molding something large. Have to some day. :)
I've found that silicone "brushes" work excellent for smoothing on your putty. It really smooshes it into the cracks. Thanks for the video, very helpful
Thanks for sharing! I do love those things.
A bright adjustable spot lamp halps. Also, a vise with individual foam grips allow you to file with two hands. This gives you more control.
Great idea, and I get to buy more tools. :P
Great Video! Just started an apprenticeship and i do a lot of sanding of parts and found your video to be super helpful thank you!
Thanks man. Great to hear! :)
Absolutely first class! Thank you!
Yo man just wanted to come back and say thanks for this video. I followed this and your Red Hood painting tutorial for my helmet for Halloween and it turned out absolutely amazing. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments lol
Glad I could help! Thanks. :)
this was awesome to watch come together, even if never intend on making something like this myself
Thanks for producing such a slick, to-the-point video which just gives us good information in such a concise way. You have a new sub from me.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thanks for explaining this well. I avoid the sanding/painting process, but this might change my mind :)
Cool, glad it helped. The painting video should be up this week. :)
I've been following this guide. I've got one more layer of filler primer to do tomorrow so hopefully I can get my Mando helmet all done and painted by next weekend. I gotta so thought my arm is killing from all that sanding😅
Thanks so much! This was super helpful and easy to understand as a beginner who doesn’t even know where to start.
FOAM! Genius! I've been trying out multiple application techniques, and none have been as smooth as that!
Glad it helped!
first video i saw from the beggining to the end, when i was starting at 3d printing i was like meeh! this is wortless better learn to print really well but it is almost imposible in normal 3d printers so this is really necesary if you want a valuable piece, thank you so much
Thanks!
This was a very great watch, thank you!
Very late to the game but sanding and painting my first 3d print now. Thanks for the tips here as I didn't know where to start :)
great explanation video!!! seriously. most people should take notes on how you explain the steps like this 💯
Wow. Thanks man. I really appreciate that.
looks fantastic! good job, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing excellent ways to make finer 3d print models. Architecture models need maybe 50% of that finish, except in detail bits. So will put that to use 👌👌
Glad it helps! :)
Thank you for this! Immensely instructive to see this step by step.
Glad it was helpful!
yeah this is what I was looking for! Definitly going to buy a 3D printer now I see how to finish the details. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
the foam for applying is a great idea, never though about that
also realized what you were talking about, using too much of the glazing putty has caused it to crack for me, gotta go back and use a heavier filler first and then use the glaze to fill the small remaining stuff
Yeah. The glazing is for finish work. It cracks like crazy when put on too thick. 😀
Great information for beginners and experts alike. Great job keep it up!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for a super easy tutorial to follow. Subscribed!!
Thanks🙂🙂
Brilliant clear video, thank you! 👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thank you 🙏 I use scotch brite (pro auto scour pads) with great results & leaves more detail.
Awesome video! Currently following along while working on a Darth Nihilus mask for upcoming Halloween
Great video helpful and to the point you helped me a lot with my project
Great info, thanks. Can't wait for the paint.
Doing that today! Finally got a nice day outside. So its paint day!
I have a Mando helmet from villainous prop shop. Used the Bondo spot and glaze putty as well. That is some righteous stuff for smoothing print lines. I'm currently working on a replica of Loki's mask from the Jim Carrey mask movie, using the same process. Great video. Anyone who's starting out on working with 3D printed cosplay or props could benefit from this.
Thanks! I appreciate it. :)
Thank you for making this very helpful,knowledgeable,short video,liked & subscribed,take care & Aloha
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome stuff! I just purchased a Mando helmet from Villainous Prop Shop for a costume I am making. I searched for tips on finishing a helmet and found your video which is an awesome coincidence.
Thanks for this lesson!
Fantastic, nice tip
One of your best videos.
Thanks man. I really appreciate it. 😀
Very cool!😎
Thanks for this, I’ve been wanting to get into model making for some time and want to try 3D printing car models, but didn’t know what to do about layer lines as automotive paint won’t look good on them.
What a detail video, Thank you Sir
Best tutorial! Thank you. I have a print of mark85 life size bust made with ASA material . There is any difference on sandpaper grit bust use for ASA ?
Awesome, thank you for the tips
Great video!
This is a great video. I usually give a very thin coat of resin ( I use anycubic clear resin, used in 3d printers) before I start to sand.
I keep it in the sun for about 20 mins (I know they tell you to cure it for 12 hours but since i am sanding it I found 20 mins in sun is more than enough) and then I start to sand.
This way I don't need to use the wood filler later as all the cracks will be filled and also I can start from 220 grid paper (saves a lot of time).
I will definitely be using sponge trick (awesome trick, had not thought about it).
Thanks...
Yeah, I know others who do that, I need to try it out.
Your video is awesome and informative and I appreciate it a lot :)
I am using your method on a 3D printed mask!
Glad it was helpful!
If you find you sometimes miss areas you can do a guide coat - a thin dusting of any color - which is just to show you where you have sanded already.
That's a great idea. Thanks. :)
God, I am so tempted to trying this for the Black Noir suit from The Boys (I am a teacher, so I get summers off and want to go to a convention this summer!) but I have never even touched a 3d printer lol. Worried I will become overwhelmed! Great video :)
Super super helpful!!
Thanks man, glad it helped. :)
This is fantastic!! This will probably be my ultimate go to video whenever I need to paint my Pla. Question - can I use a rustoleum primer filler but not the sandable type? I can’t find this version in my country.
Great video and thanks for the share. Looking forward to sanding and painting ;) Not really but all good results take hard work but you can work smart and not hard. This is the way
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks I’m new to printing so this is gonna help a wonder
Glad it was helpful!😀
thanks for sharing this information
My pleasure, glad it helped. :)
Thank You! This was very informative:)
Cool man. Glad it helped. 😀
I use resin from a dropper bottle with a UV flashlight instead of bondo. Faster and cleaner and you can do build up and repair as well.
Best video tutorial ever
Awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Thanks man!!
Nice video man, thanks!
excellent thanks
Amazing Video Series!!!! Used this to paint my Darth Revan helmet & made a project out of it with my girlfriend! Thanks so much for going through all the steps & explaining everything! Can't wait for Halloween!
I think this might end up becoming a hobby of mine!
Thank you so much your a life saver I can’t wait to start my glamrock toy mangle cosplay!
put a couple drops of Dawn in the water, helps to keep the wet paper from clogging.
Nice, I'll try that. Working on a couple new helmets this weekend. Thnx.
This will save my printed miniature ! Thanks a lot!!
Glad to hear that!
GREAT VIDEO MAN! THIS HAS HELPED ME MAKE A NICE LOOKING GAME PORTABLE CONSOLE!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for your effort put into these videos, I just got into 3d printing and found your channel incredibly helpful! Sanding has been a pain in the ass for me, I do also tend to have OCD lol. One quick question, I'm gonna print some nylon parts soon, does these sanding process works on nylon as well? Or are there any other things I should pay attention to? Appreciate your help!
Very informative video my friend.......subbed and liked
Gotta try the sponge trick! 😀
Definitely saves your fingers from some cramping. :)
Awesome, you took a skill that seemed impossible and made it accessible for someone like me who's really not artistic.
Best video for my Dead-Space Helmet Project!!! :D thank you very much!!! ;)
Glad it helped!
So helpful thank you!!!
Glad it helped! 🙂
Fantastic work. Reminds me of how to fix dings and scratches on a car. Any way to print without layer lines? If not, is it possible to use an electric sander? Thank you!
That long pause at the end lmao. Seriously, this was very helpful. I've been doing my Halo helmet wrong all this time.
Very helpful video! greetings from Ecuador! :D
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Can I wash the print if I use Bondo spot putty on the print ?
Awesome vid!
Glad you enjoyed it
When it comes to sanding you really should clean the area after each grit. You do this because the fire particles fill in cracks and spaces that will be hidden until you clean it.
you make it easier to think about finish prints
Thanks man! Glad the videos help. :)
Great video. Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
