Universal Soldier Headset

thingiverse

I made this 1st gen UniSol headset for a cosplay. I only followed the design and images from the 1st Van Dam movie so No it does not look like what people remember from later movies (so shut up Jimmy). It may not be Perfect but it will still look good. I did not find where someone had models of this and the goofy toys i found online did not peak my interest. I will update Post-Print photos and finishing and make adjustments on files where I find issues. I will be doing this is Resin and can also upload pre-supported files in STLsThe only file choice to make is in the Housing. I am putting 2 versions for the Housing because I will be putting LED's and power inside of my prop down the road. Therefore, Housing_With_Battery.obj will have a Door that needs printed so the battery can be changed. The Hinges for the connecting the eye_cup.obj will needs some small M bolts/nutsThere is a Screw hole on the front of the eye_cup.obj that is just for aesthetics so glue a screw into this if you like. The Housing_Door.obj Will need 2 screws to hold it on once the electronics are added in.Obviously you will need a couple of non-printed parts as follows:Old Headset (preferably a Single ear to glue onto the Ear_Cover.obj so you can wear it.)a Microphone Wire, I designed the Ear_Cover.obj to take a simple Metal Hanger Wire inserted and a Mic_Tip.obj to cap the other end. Cut the wire to the size you need and glue them on. -(optional) There is a rear support on the headsets they wear in the movies (to keep from falling forward from the weight). This is attached solely to the Headset and not any part of what I modeled. I aim to just bend some additional metal hanger wire and attach to my headset to secure it to my head. Obviously if you don't intend to wear this much you wont need it.If you to want to do the electronics portion then you will need:(correct printed parts [Housing_with_battery & Door] 3mm LEDs1 Green1 RedSmall Gauge Wire (20-24 etc) 2 colors preferably x2 68 ohm resistors3.3volt battery booster1 AAA Battery Holder1 AAA BatteryPower Switch (on off)Will updated as needed or requested. This was a spur of the moment ADHD thing and you can only accomplish so much with TInkercad and Meshmixer, But if you have any ideas or suggestions I will do my best.Lastly, IF you do the electronics you will need to find a place to put your On/Off switch. I did not model in a mount or hole for this because of the vast amount of switches that can be used. you may decide to mount it externally which is perfectly okay. If so there is a tunnel bored out in the Gob_Tube.obj (mainly because there is to be a red LED in the False_battery.obj and a wire runs up into it) but you can externally tie in a switch at this point.It may take me a week or so but I will put up finished pics when I complete it.Cheers. (updated 2/18/24) ~ File (Housing_Rear_Cap.obj) was meant to be split when exported. Separated the .obj in to 2 parts and uploaded files here under (Gob_tube_cap.obj) & (rear_housing_cap)(updated 2/19/24)~ Found that the Housing_with_battery_needsDoor.obj had fairly thin walls. Print was successful but layer heights more than 50um would most likely warp. I doubled the wall thickness of the model and uploaded a new file under Housing_with_Battery.STL [both files will remain up from here on]
