Ghostbusters Ecto Goggles

thingiverse

I wanted to build ecto-goggles for my friend's birthday since he is a huge fan of Ghostbusters. I discovered some welding goggles at our local hardware store that reminded me of DIY ecto-goggle projects based on this model: Forney 55320 Goggles, AES Industries Welding Helmet Style Flip-up Goggles, and Hobart 770094 Welding Oxy-Acetylene Goggle. Although they aren't accurate replicas like in the movie, they will work just fine for my purposes. My main challenge was painting them since they're made of silicone - it only lasted a weekend because I wore them to an event. My friend plans to display them as decoration instead. To fit the original lenses, I had to resize and build a plate to replace the glasses. If someone's interested in these designs, feel free to use them! I'd also appreciate it if you could share links to welding goggles in black. Printing settings used were standard with no special adjustments: printer - Prusa I2; rafts and supports didn't matter; resolution was 0.2mm; and infill was at 35%.
