Here’s the highly requested video of how to smooth out your 3d printed helmets with modeling paste! The paste and primer can be found on Amazon in my storefront! Hope this helps!
I usually use some spackle to smooth my helmets. I already had it at home when I smoothed my first helmet, and it works pretty well. If you use a little water with it, it smooths a bit easier.
I’ve been using this mixed with isopropyl alcohol to smooth my prints. Loving the non toxic aspect, but it is SOOO hard to sand and takes forever. Any suggestions?
Techs helmet without the goggles is so cursed
as someone who already 3d prints but want to get into this part of the hobby this was really useful thank you
Good recommendation on alternating the modeling paste and filler primer for wet sanding. That makes a lot of sense.
I gotta try this stuff. I have tried the other methods and they work fine but would like to get less toxic! Thanks for the video
UV Resin is the way to go.

Thanks for making this!
Can you make a video about how you make your helmets and what you use?
Do you have a Discord Server or something like this?
Do you have a link to the amazon storefront?
You find modelling paste is better than something like Spackling compound? ....which I think is a little cheaper....

Do you know if i could use any cheaper brand of modelling paste, or if i should use liquitex specifically?
COuld it be possible to get some links for anyone that needs them?
How would you do the more intricate details (like the front of Crosshair's helmet) without losing a bit of the detail
I’ll typically use nail files or things like that..
Hello! I have a question, what do you use for those small silver circles that are inside the helmet respirators?
What is the recommended cure time for the modeling paste , mixed with the primer ?
At least 20 mins probably
