Good walkthrough, thank you!
Thank you
Just what I was looking for!! Building an NCR Ranger helmet and needing this for anti fog.
Greetings from Fuquay-Varina!
glad it helped!
Eyyy me too!
Great video, thank you!
Thank you
Hi there! I found an USB adapter for fans (you can get 2pin, 3pin, 4pin adapters). Might make things easier. Cheers to you!
Thanks for the tip!
nice work, is there a small hole on the opposite side of the helmet (outside) for the air to get sucked in?
The air intake is in the helmet. It only needs 1 to 1.5mm of clearance to work. You could put a hole in the bucket but where I have the fan I think it would be hard to hide the hole.
@@ZebulonPottery thx for the explainantion
What is the diff between the 5v and 12v ? It comes as an option with the link u put in the description ? Is the 12v bigger in size ? Is it stronger ?
V is for volts. It's how much power you need to run the fan. I like 5 volts for a few reasons.
1. If you want to tie in LEDs on the same power strip they wont burn out.
2. Rechargeable phone banks are all 5v
You can use a 9v fan but you will.need to use a 9v battery to run it. All day at a con and your battery is dead. Battery packs are cheap and you can have a few on hand. Just something to think about, but either on works if you use the correct power supply.
Will this work without the soldiering part? As in will just connecting the tips with insulation tape be enough to make it work?
It can but the connections are weaker. For somthing simple like this you can just tape it but its worth learning to soldier.
@@ZebulonPottery Thank you! I'll keep it in mind when trying it myself
Hello, I bought some USB 5V Fans. I got everything to install them. But they are so loud. Are there Fans who are more quiet? I am from Germany BTW.
Sorry for the late reply. The fans I used did not sound loud to me.
I'd prefer to install the fan the other side out so the restriction of the air intake doesn't burnout the electronics (but I do understand that installed it this way around to avoid hair getting caught in the blade).
There is no restriction on air flow this way. The clearance on the underside is enough to not bottle neck the flow of air.
Man I need it for my clone costume. It's hot asf
Do it! I'm putting them into my Stormtrooper helmet, and it doesn't even feel like the same helmet when they're on!
@@MistahFox are the fans loud ?
@@eggsalad4305 you hear them, but they aren't deafening and they don't drown out the outside world
@@MistahFox Oh alright ! I can Barely hear with my helmet on lol thanks for responding!
did you ever make a fan for your helm?
Strange how I got this recommended even though i'm a star wars fan...
I bought some 5 mm fans to try this out I’m praying it works!🤞🏻
It should work. If you have any problems with it let me know and I will see if I can help.
So I got the fans that are 5V but I’ve noticed they won’t even power on until I use a 12 V power source. Help?
Is it possible to send a picture? I would guess you didn't get 5v fans. Sometimes the warehouse will send you the wrong items and they could look the same.
@@ZebulonPottery yeah I can show you
@@ZebulonPottery do you have Instagram?
@@fatal3899 I do. Post a link or your handle.
@@ZebulonPottery @2BFATAL
How did this get recommended to me? never watched star wars
I blame youtube.... hope you liked the video :)
Never too late.....
You know they make USB cooling fans right?
This is probably cheaper and its enclosed so hair doesn't get trapped. I have seen a lot of people selling this as a kit and honestly $60 for a kit was too much so I made a video showing people how to made one for under $6.
@@ZebulonPottery the one I found is the same type of fan but with a USB cord 2 for $12 on Amazon.
@@nil810 right on. I am on the mandolorian merc forums and saw kits being sold for $60. At the very least if anyone wants to build one this video will help them.
upon further inspection to your channel i realize my previous comment was completely pointless and useless so my bad
I am always looking for feedback to improve. Thanks for checking out my channel.
