seen many iron man helmets, but yours is absurdly elegant when it comes to placing electronics
This is the most in depth and complete motorized Iron Man helmet build I've seen. Complete with all of the necessary info and parts. I'd like to donate to your cause, you've saved me hours of figuring this out!!!! Thanks!
Glad you found this useful. In a couple days there will be an update for optional led eyes.
For donations I just created a Buy Me Coffee page. www.buymeacoffee.com/BoxAndLoop
Hey so I have been working for months and since I am only 12 this has taken me longer than these other people. But I do have a question and if you got back to me that would be nice. Are the eyes supposed to dim when I turn the pointmeter? I am using the code from the eye pdf. I'm not talking about the eyes instruction video I mean the wiring video in which I hook up the eyes to the Arduino.
You clearly haven't seen Frankly Built,he has done an entire suit
czcams.com/video/JB-ZJZBsHCU/video.html
@@1kokkerrot yes but frankly built does more complex builds and doesn’t explain all the electronics thoroughly like this guy
I'm about halfway through printing all of the parts and i'm so psyched to get it sanded and painted!! Awesome work, great video and guide. Love it!
Post a vid about it i wanna se
@@sgplays8622 After a few hiatuses, some voluntary, some not, I'm happy with the paint and now putting in the electronics. I'll post about it when I can
FINISHED IT!!!!!!!!
looks absolutely stunning thank you soooo much
Currently printing the parts and have the hardware on order. So excited to get this together. Thank you for the instructions and the files!
Awesome! Enjoy
@@BoxandLoop Completely new to the programming the Arduino, any chance of a short video of the programming side? Parts almost done printing. Getting excited!
I've considered making a wiring/coding video. Now that there is some demand for it, I'll work on it
@@BoxandLoop Awesome! Can't wait to see it!
Just finished printing all the parts and have the electronics on order. Thanks for the rad model and videos!
Awesome! Looking forward to the result
Kaç para tuttu?
I' have two printers printing this, and so far this is the best design on the web THANK YOU
You are welcome and enjoy
@@BoxandLoop your designs work would be amazing for a full suit.
Anything is possible is the future
Thank you so much for making all of the files free to download
Love the use of mechanical fasteners
Wow, thats really great. When I was little (about 6 years old) I saw first Ironman movie so I wanted to wear his mask. So I am gonna make it. Thanks for that files because you made my dream now!
Amazing! Excited to see your progress
@@BoxandLoop At first I need to finish one larger project to school. Then Iam gonna make it:D
@@romansuk05 it’s been a minute, how did it go?
I'm printing all the parts as I type this, almost done!
Great! Let me know if you got some questions and do share the progress
@@BoxandLoop Hey I ran into a problem, the brain base in your files doesn't have the spot for the switch only for the Arduino nano board.
Mishap with uploaded files. Fixed now
Can you print one for me and send it?
how it went?
Really Inspiring I got my 3D printer 2 years ago and just come to this Channel and I almost done just the electronics parts need to assemble
That's awesome!
So I just finished my first attempt at this project and would like to add some feedback and points for others who attempting this project for the first time.
First off thank you so much for putting this out, everything works perfectly, the documents gives proper information and your build videos are very helpful!
Sizing Ring - If you are unsure if its too tight for your head, scale it up by a bit. The padding will help make up the difference. I have a very fat head and cheeks, so when I assembled mine at stock scale it was a little too right for my liking (remember there are components inside that need room as well)
Electronics - The code is correct, if you are having any issues it is most likely your hardware. One thing some other comments I've seen and I have also experienced is the servos seems to try to continue to turn instead of a full stop when the face plate is closed, creating a sound and generating some heat. Not sure if its an hardware issue or a coding issue.
Eyes - With the new coding for the lights turning off when the face plate is up, this has made the potentiometer no longer "work" when the eyes are lit up. Adjusting the brightness now requires you turn the knob, reset the face plate, see brightness and then repeat.
Servos - He designed this helmet to have all components contained in the helmet, however this means that the battery life will be very limited. if you want to change less batteries, consider using a separate power source for the servos. I plan on doing this and hiding the power source down the back of my shirt to my pants pocket.
Thanks again so much! I am looking forward to building my 2nd one that properly fits my fat head!
This is awesome! Great feedback and description. Definitely room to improve
@@BoxandLoop What separate power source did you use boss?
@@DoctorNOS use either AA or AAA batteries
@@BoxandLoop 4-AA batteries are ok? Will it blow the Arduino?
how did you do the sizing did you resize every single model because then the screws wont fit or am I wrong pls explain aaaa
And print also some part to take the wires out of visible. Nice design!
Thank you. I used helmet padding to hide the wires
Wow! So cool! Mad skills! Thank you for the video!
Thank you and enjoy
Огромное спасибо дружище. Ты мой почетный супергерой.
you got a solid sub mate, nicely done!
Thank you and welcome
Amazing !
This is so cool. You should try to make the mark 5 helmet and rig it but I think it would be more complex as it’s like 3 pieces of a faceplate.
Thank you. I thought about making mark 5 and it's on my list of future projects
Hi and thanks for your great work!!
You are welcome and enjoy
Love it. I am working on a helmet but it is too big. It is another design. Once I finish I think I will do this one too!
Can never have too many helmets. Stark had 65 at least
@@BoxandLoop Lol. I think 2 might be a good round number for me. This is a ton of work!
красава, отличная работа!
amazing work! is there any way you could do a tutorial of how to model the parts in solidworks?
Great job! What wall thikness did you use for printing?
Thanks for the video,I have most of the pieces printed,sanded n 2in1 sandable primer on. How man M3 screws did you use?
so, my son says he wants an iron man mask that has a motorized lift for the face...jumped on thingiverse and found your awesome design! Printing it out now. Thanks for your awesome work.
That's wonderful to hear! You are welcome and enjoy
Thanks for sharing this. Coffee bought to show my gratitude, hopefully others will too.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the files, and the instructions starting this as my next print project, still somewhat new... looking for an arduino board is there an updated board I could use rather than the one listed? TIA
Sure thing. Nano seems to be most available and I haven't tested other boards so can't really recommend any
i made an motorized iron helmet
thanks to you!!
How do you put the plastic arm into the servo?
@@gearheadanime look at this video 1:20 plz
many thanks Bro!
Have fun with it and share your progress
Amazing project!!! by the way what model of screw and nut are you using for this project?
Thank you.
I've used this
www.amazon.com/dp/B07GKXMSVR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_YbTPFb60JEZ5X
wow nice and detailed tutorial. Would this work with mg90 servos?
for the electronics, before i dive into this.... is there programming/flashing that needs to be done? or the parts in description come ready to run plug and play?
Love the build. Have you considered using supporting hinges to guide the helmet as it closes though?
Thank you. Hinges were part of the design process, but in the end not necessary. Double swing arms on servos seem to give enough accuracy with a cleaner look.
easy sub, im starting this today
Welcome
@@BoxandLoop thank you! :)
New to the 3d printing world. This is great btw. Are you using a gym printer for this or resin
some of the self tapping screws are breaking do i stand a chance trying to drill out?
Hey, great work, im using 2 18650 batteries, i.e 7.4v, the servos worked for few times and then stopped moving and started getting heated, i got a burning smell, now only the led lights are working but not the servos, what should I do?
Great design! I started printing this and I'm about 1/2 way done. Love the instructional videos and detailed PDF. Do you have a link for the pads by chance?
Great!

What is the weight and height that this Ironman outfit will fit in?
@TaiRone Wassup a few hours for some of the larger ones. I don't have an exact time but I'd say about 12 hours of total time.
@TaiRone Wassup I'll try later tonight to see if I can put mine in cura to get you better times. I just have an ender 3 pro.
@TaiRone Wassup OK, I was way off. I checked today and the face took 20 hours and one of the dome pieces was 6 hours. I think there are 4-5 dome pieces since my printer is smaller and I did it in sections. Not sure what I was thinking. :)
I need this for a holiday project
Have fun with it
@@BoxandLoop Will do, stay awesome bro 👍👍
on your thingiverse stl file for this print do i have to print all 31 files like dome_2 and dome_3 and dome_4 and the dome _4 resize??
It would be cool to get some led lighting in so it also glows in the dark!
how exactly does the Arduino work im new to this, does it work like shown straight out of the box or is there something else that needs to be done to it
You'll need to upload code to it. There are instructions in the PDF
some of the self tapping bolts im using keep breaking do i stand a chance trying to drill out?
Hi, which one should we print. There are 2 dome_04 files...one has "resize" at the end of it?
So so so creative
Thank you
How did you print the visor?
Because in every orientation ive tried with a brim... its came loose from the build plate.
Except curve down, which needs a lot of sanding to be presentable.
I printed on its side vertically with tree supports
Thank you very much
What size screwdriver are you using? What type of screws are you using to mount the battery pack to back?
Thank you so much for this. I started printing this as my first 3D project and I am making it for my son. I’m in the process of sanding and painting the parts at the moment.
Question: Are there certain slice settings you are using to get the bolt heads to print out? My slicer doesn’t seem to have a fine enough resolution to get the full bolt head and is instead just wanting to print two semi-circles that are loose as opposed to a full bolt head.
Happy to hear that!
For the bolts, I'd check the layer height. I've printed mine at 0.1mm and it seems to have worked well.
@@BoxandLoop thank you! I will try that.
@@bluewaterboof82 let me know how it goes
@crazybastard82 how much time did it took to print and which printer did u used
@@roneygsd134 Hi! I used the Ender 3 printer. It's been a long time so I don't remember exactly how long it took to print but I believe it took maybe a day for all of the small parts and then printed the main front piece overnight while I slept.
What lengths of screws are used for the battery holder, Arduino holder, and the screws that hold in the moving arms with bearing. Thanks
I’m having some trouble on the Arduino code. It is telling me the servoTop was not declared in this scope
Hi, how do i print some of the pieces like the face part. do i need to do something on cura to hold the thing up?
Hi, thank you so much for sharing the work!
I just got a quick question for printing.
How much % of infill did you use for the project?
Thanks in advance! I'll wait for your reply.
Sure thing. Medium infill will be enough. Enjoy
@@BoxandLoop Thank you so much for your reply. Medium as in around 30 be enough you reckon?
Hello, which orientation is the best for the face.stl? Printed it already face down for time savings, but on the main surface there are many artefacts from the supports. I don't exactly know if I am able to repair those surface. So, which orientation did you print it?
I printed it upright with mouth touching the plate. Tilt forward for brow ridge to see the build plate. Add supports all around the mouth and to the brow. Worked for me on ender 5
Question, in the video it looks like the ear pieces are barely connecting, are they solid when actually glued on?
Having error codes in IDE when inputting the Arduino code. Is this common? Verified Port and Board - Nano Every. Version 2.0.1 All help is welcome!!! TY
Would look amazing with a nice paint
Absolutely. Painted mine at home without spray cans
Is it when we print directly the size is 1:1 or do I have to change something else?
If you upscale the helmet do you have to reposition the servo mounts
Hey another question, on my Arduino when I press the button the servos move but always go back to home, so they open but don't stay. Could this be a problem with my physical board? I think I might have fried the hole that's to the right of ground, the one that the button is plugged into
Could be bad batteries. Try on usb power. Also try using AA batteries instead of AAA
Hello sir, first of all thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial it is a dream come true for me to make this helmet. I'm trying to use the two servos to lift the faceplate up because my faceplate (handcrafted) was too heavy (2 servos in the left and right of the helmet mirroring each other's movement) I tried to change some things in the codes to achieve that and it did. Only problem is that the first phase when turning on the electronics, the two servos tend to go opposite to each other, trying to get in position like in the original setup and then it work.
I have no proper knowledge on arduino codes and I might be asking too much, but it will be very great if you can suggest some tips on what should I change on the codes to make the 2 servos mirror each other's movements properly. Thank you again for this wonderful and free tutorial! 🙏
If I use the original setup for the servos, the 1 servo on the head isn't enough to lift the faceplate. I mean it can lift the helmet, but the faceplates lifts unbalanced which makes it go slanted while moving up and down.
When printing the sizing ring what does it mean it has to pass over ears tightly. I assume I'm bringing this down from the top of my head and it should pass my ears tightly or sit on my ears? Thanks
Hey, cool Iron Man helmet, Iron Man is my favorite Marvel character. I would only suggest put a little music in the background, CZcams has some good music you can put on your videos so its not so quiet
Good idea
Is it enougth using the tipical blue sg90 servo (2 for open the mask)?
Maybe I missed it. But what LED did you use?
They are led panels, there should be a link for it in description
@@BoxandLoop I didn’t see a link for leds. Are my eyes that bad? Lol
My mistake. It's under this video
czcams.com/video/_ayVGPpSBAY/video.html
@@BoxandLoop thank you sir! We should team up and do a vid together or something. I finally cracked 2 million views on one!
That's awesome! We could do something. My current project is MK5 helmet with all the moving parts of the face.
Hi there, should i download the Dome_04 resize instead of the Dome_04?
Great!
tip: put small springs on the hinge so it goes open more stable
Thank you! Was my main criticism when i was trying to decide whether to build this or not. Hopefully this makes it look a bit smoother/more stable
What do you mean exaxtly?
@@raodio Have you tried it with the springs?
@@applepie3597 ummm I'm not sure. Was a while ago 😅 I think there might face been another comment here that I replied to
I see you listed two 3d printers in the description. I'm looking to invest in one soon, but I was wondering.. for this build, did you use both printers?? And what's the process for cleaning up the helmet and painting it to look metal?
Either printer will work. I used ender 5 pro.
For clean up, I've got another video. Check it out
The servos that you link in the description are unavailable right now, do you have any recommendations for servos that would still fit?
You could look for the servos by the same name. Ali, ebay, depends where you are located
@@BoxandLoop okay cool, thanks!
How do you see with the LED strips blinding you? are there slits under/over them for viewing?
If you turn down the brightness, you can see through them. Full brightness is for photos, not so much for seeing.
Your are legendary
I can't find the hardware part list for the LED eyes. Does anyone know where? PDF says its on youtube but I looked at a few videos already and can't see it.
Try this

Nice design! quick question, have you wear it?
Wow this looks exactly like the helmet I built on ma channel just that yours is made with a 3D printer
hey what size do you use? i pritned the '' size file'' and it fits me but idk cuz it looks a bit small and is there any thoughts on if the actual helmet is bigger?
If the size ring passes your ears just barely, then it's good size for you
LOL ! Me asking "can you document a bit" on insta 5mn ago ! xDDDD
where did u find the 3d model of the helmet with all the stuff necesary for the electronics?
I want to program an arduino to use a push button to move 2 servos just like yours, but for another application. Do you have a video with the arduino code for that ?
Take a look at the code. You'll need to take out some parts, but that's it
Regarding the size of a head, how much space would you leave for my head to enter with the entire mechanism?
what are the screws that hold the servo arms on the ones with the servos are too short? and hold the "passive" arm as well?
The servo arm is held by m2.5 bolts. In case your servos are a bit different, check which bolts fit your servos, maybe m2. Passive arms should use m2 bolts
i was wondering what screws you use to put it together exactly and can you dim the lights with the whole setup
The eyes are dimmable and the screws are m1.4x5. the screws should not go through the second part
hello sir...may i know how long is the size of m2.5 bolts with countersunk heads and where is it installed?
can you show how you used cura to build it because im having trouble with it its my first cosplay build
Check out this video by another great creator
czcams.com/video/uUkKQ804it0/video.html
I don't see in the video where the bearings go. Can you help me a bit? Need to know how many bearings I need
Thank u so much
Enjoy
How many parts do you have to glue and weld or does it all just snap together?
I followed your instructions but the servos only work when I plug in the board via USB.
UPDATE: I just cut out the AAAs entirely and wired it up to a battery pack. The servos get pretty hot, don't open and close them too often lol.
I have a question though, how do you get yours to shut so tightly? Mine is kinda loose and flaps
I really need ur help, when i press the button the motors move at the same time but not in the directions i want them too what should i do
Quick question. In the pdf you said the sizing ring should fit over my ears, which it does, but it doesn't fit over my head, chin and ears at the same time. Is that ok?
That should be fine
Did you have to sand down the border of the plastic piece attached to the servo? All the extra pieces that came with the servo have an border.
Thanks for the 3d files. I'm currently printing it.
Curious though, what were your settings? Which layer height and how much infill did you use?
I’m using 1.0 layer height and 100% infill. Can’t go wrong with 100% infill.most parts are thin so 100% infill won’t make the parts super heavy.
Hello, my print came out great ! Thank you for the instructions. I am having trouble getting the code to work. It starts and the eyes come on and the servos make sounds then stop but no movement. Do you have a video for loading the code, my says cant find boot and flash. Thank you
How much time did it took to print? 🤔 And which did u used
Hi
Thanks for the files, this design really great.
But I can't verify that code 😭
Please help me
Ok this is so so so helpful! Quick question that is definitely really stupid but I'm a noob and have no clue... how do you see through the eyes withe the light source not having holes in it like others do? Sorry, probably really dumb but again I'm a massive noob so would really appreciate the answer!! Tysm!
You have two printers listed in your links, one with a 250mm max height and another with 300mm. Am I correct in assuming you need a max 300mm height printer for this project?
Not even that much. All parts fit within 200mm in any dimension. I've listed two printers that I know to be affordable and can deliver good quality.
Habra algun traductor español?? Quiero saber como compro el kit de las intalaciones para que funcione
thanks a lot
Welcome!
Thanks for the files, can I ask how you arranged the faceplate on the slicer having issues with my prints failing…
On an Ender 3 V2 I positioned the face place standing up, then lean it forward about 15 to 20 degrees. Use tree supports.
