Guyver - Dark hero Helmet

pinshape

This is a digitally sculpted copy of the "Guyver 1 helmet" from the live action film "Guyver -Dark Hero", originally designed by Steve Wang. I used photos of the Elite Creature Collectibles Bust and screen grabs for the film as my reference. To build the base with correct proportions, I had to manually align camera in Maya, then hand sculpted the rest in ZBrush. This was made for the cosplay contest, and time was tight, but it was an awesome sculpt to do, and I'm happy with the result. PRINTING Sadly, I haven't had a chance to print it yet, so I've cut the modeling into pieces. A printer with build plates of 215mm x 215mm should be able to print it fine, but due to its size and organic shape, there may be a need for some sanding to get a perfect fit. I have built in registration keys for each join, and I would recommend a test build with tape before gluing. The helmet was built around an average man's head scale found here. Once built, I would pop some foam in the top for comfort plus it will help stabilize the helmet. I would print it with 20% infill, 30-45mm/s print speed, 0.15 layers, and 4 perimeters with supports. I personally would love to see someone print it at 0.1 layers because I did sculpt in loads of little details that will hopefully show through, but understand that it will take an age to print. Important - Print the eye lens in clear/translucent filament with a honeycomb infill, this will help capture the look of the eyes as seen in the images included. The part "Forehead-control-metal-ring" has placement gaps for LEDs so you can make the control metal glow. I wanted to post a full helmet STL for those who want to print it whole, but the model is too heavy for the 100 MB limit. I have included some diagrams in the images to help with assembly. Hope you guys like it - I've really enjoyed the process! Message me if you would be interested in me making a whole suit for printing. Cheers Sam Check out my site at www.samrowan.com
