prusaprinters

This is a rework of the original MK2 Protogen by M16 Studios!All credit for the original models goes to M16 Studios. I just modified them for easier use and build!Main changes are:More headroom & easier fitTons of added passive ventilation for the baseCompletely redesigned front frame for hassle-free matrix placement!Front frame now mounts a 4020 blower fan for better airflowBetter screw hole pattern for joining the front frame to the base & the earringsTighter tolerances for a more secure visor fitmentAdded a 2 piece base for those that have bigger printersMade a NEO front frame to retro-fit the original M16 version-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Version 0.1 - Initial releaseModels just came out of the oven!Everything is test printed and prints fine, but not yet assembled.Visor fit with the new screw pattern might be a delicate job, since it has a little less margin for error.Better print instructions coming, but for now:PETG is recommended for every part. At the very least, for the front frame.For the bases: USE A THICK BRIM (5 to 10 mm)Use paint-on supports where necessary (tree supports recommended for the front frame)Print with many perimeters. The front frame & helmet should be solid in the thin parts!Only print the VISOR BUCK if you plan on vacuum forming visors. Again, PETG is a must here.A 3D printing pen is recommended for joining the base pieces togetherFor the electronics, I recommend following NCPlyn's build on GitHub!https://github.com/NCPlyn/ProtogenHelmet-ESP32For the easiest build, get MAX7219 LED matrices and an ESP32 with Wi-Fi capabilities.Happy beeping! If you like my work, consider supporting me on Ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/arkoss
