How To Make Helmet Visors! Visors for your 3D Printed Helmets
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 05. 2023
- After seeing how many found the helmet sizing tutorial useful I decided to do another general 3dprinting tutorial. I see people asking a lot about how to make helmet visors in all the 3d printing groups so I figured i'd show exactly what I do. Hopefully this helps you figure out how you want to do your visors for your own 3d printed helmets!

Let me know if there are other general 3d printing tips I can help you out with 🤘🏼
how do you get different color visors?
@@NathanSmith-fx6uq different color window tint or can dye the plastic sheet, you can see in my master chief video I use gold
Adding to this, if tinting gets annoying for anyone/tinted welding masks are too dark, colored acetate or transparent pvc cover is your friend. Basically these are usually used for covers for binders and come in a range of transparent colors so you can have a visor besides black. They also come in just clear if you want to tint it yourself. Thickness-wise its actually in between the thin faceshields and the thick welding visors. You can usually find these in office or school supply stores or online.
Thanks for the bonus tip
i could not ask for a better video for this
thank you so much
🙌 super happy to help
Awesome! this helps me out with my Red Ranger in Space Helmet
Super helpful! Thank you!
Making a Helldivers 2 default helmet (my first helmet project). Have made a million mistakes (lessons) on the way and now it's time for the visor. I can tell this vid just saved me so much time :D
Super happy to help 🤘 hope the helmet comes out great
Good timing! I just got my viser and 5% tint this week. Going to get my green ranger helmet painted this week too. Thanks Bro!🤙
Of course 🤘🏼 great timing!
Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤
Of course super happy to help 🤘🏼
That was my next step! Thanks as always
Super glad the timing was right 🤘🏼
Epic video thanks
Always happy to help
for the visor tinting you could try using some window tint spray paint instead of messing with a roll of tint sheet
nice tutorial, i like it, keep it on !
Thanks so much
Great video dude
Thanks 🙏 appreciate the support!
I asked myself yesterday this question and now you uploaddd!!🎉
(sorry for my bad english)
Super happy to be able to help!
great tip!!
Glad to help 🤘🏼
I have a titan fall helmet and I had no idea how to do the visor, I'm now subscribed!
Thanks for the support and glad to help
man i love this channel
Thanks for the kind words 🤘🏼
Same here
Nice job. keep it up mate.
Thanks 🙏 definitely gonna keep grinding
Dope!
Thanks for the support 🤘🏼
Tip for window tint use sellotape stick on one corner peel helps
Thanks for that!
Thanks for the info! I created a cardboard Scout Trooper helmet but I instead used black meth for the visor because it's what I had and because I didn't know how to do the visor. 👍
Whatever works, that's awesome! Scout is my favorite trooper
this is perfect im working on a custom OC design with a spike teeth like visor, but it red.
Next the need a way for it to raise up and down but stay in the perfect spot when down
Im trying magnets 1st time around
Thank you. I'm currently working on a titanium ranger helmet
That's awesome
Great video man! This is pretty much how I do mine!
Thanks 🙏 I figured it's how most do it but still see questions here and there so figured I'd help
@@SaturdayMorningProps yes it’s great to see how it’s done! Also if you have a moment I’ve been wonder (maybe better for a short vid ) but can you cover how to bridge the front and back at the top so one doesn’t fall lower/ separate away from each other on the top?
@@John8338 you should be able to see in my early power ranger tutorials like white and blued where i hot glue elastic to the top as a hinge
Working on a Boba fett helmet right now... this is super helpful!
Super happy to help 🤘🏼
Yesss how to size for armor!! I’m making my son a master Chief costume for Halloween and the only way I’ve been able to size properly is printing the first few layers to see if he can fit into the opening 😂
Test rings are definitely useful, kids has to be hard to scale to for sure that's a pretty big adjustment!
@@SaturdayMorningProps I was also fully prepared to build a vacuum table for the visor. But that seems like a daunting task
@@lyfeoflaci eventually I'm going to have to for some of these power ranger helmets
Working on a Doom slayer build, definitely found this helpful!
thats a badass helmet for sure
@@SaturdayMorningProps its optimistic to say the least 🤣 I was getting frustrated wanting ti get the visor just the right color, proving very difficult. Walking through s dollar store last week for supplies I spotted transparent colored folders..... a green and blue that even combined are PERFECT! Happy accidents😂
@@gingernaut2550that is an awesome skill to have though, being resourceful and finding other ways to meet the goal is crucial in this stuff
@@SaturdayMorningProps That's the fun it! The finished result is the reward, but it's made sweeter by all the problem solving that went into it.
I have watched your Ranger helmet videos religiously. I do t own a 3d pri ter, so I bought a helmet raw. My sanding wasn't the best but it has turned out amazing so far. My only issue is the print didn't come with a way to hook the back onto the front. Any tips on how to make that?
I have a tutorial on how to add clasps
I JUST finished my Mandalorian helmet yesterday.. I purchased a welding visor off of Amazon and found it to be quite rigid when trying to form fit it in the helmet. I ended up using a heat gun to help form it, which worked wonders. I would be worried about using any sort of heat gun with window tint, though. So I would have to make sure to use something very flimsy and flexible like Acetate when using window tint, so I wouldn't feel the need to resort to using a heat gun.
Side note: I would love to see your process for applying padding inside of helmets and armor. I found it to be a constant trial and error process.. figuring out how much was needed, where it should be placed, how it should be angled, how thick each piece should be, and how the helmet sits on my head with each piece that was applied. Is this the "normal" process for applying padding?
The welding mask is definitely rigid like I showed in the video but should've been fine without the heat gun, also the face shield is very pliable so you shouldn't have to even worry about using the heat gun on that. For the window tint if you feel like you need the heat gun do it before you put the tint on. Padding is definitely trial and error. Completely depends on how you scaled your helmet to fit and what helmet youre doing. I usually don't pad it cause I scale them close to the fit of my head
Really wanna learn to do the vacuum forming method
Definitely a cool method and necessary for some. Haven't made my own diy vacuum box yet
@Quest4Nostalgia let us know if you do please. I'd follow that video
@@MotoZom-B definitely will teach about making one when I do
there are also pre tinted face shields, by the way
Yup just costs more and one roll of tint goes a very long way
Working on Boba Fett now. This will be super helpful
Happy to help 🤘
Hey I know this is an some what old video now but I got a split/tear in the tint for my Red Ranger helmet visor. This tear formed after I put the visor in and had it in for a short while. How would you recommend repairing the tear without taking out the whole thing?
Honestly thinking taking It out is the best move, if you got glued it in should be very easy to peel the glue off the back
I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I’m curious on if you have any pointers on more dome shaped visors? I’m planning on doing Zero from Code Geass and that can be a little awkward shape wise, especially when tinting
@@Archdjinn probably going to need to vacuum form or find a dome shaped piece of plastic like a fishbowl then use spray on tint
I've read that people use a hot glue gun to simulate welding (the rocketeer helmet). A tutorial on how to do that would be awesome.
I have actually seen someone do that recently, I would expect the 3d design already would have the welds modeled on the helmet but it's really just drag the glue gun slightly wiggling then paint silver 🤘🏼
What would you do for a Daredevil cowl?
Could probably get sunglasses from the dollar store
would it be a good idea to add a socket into the print for a visor to slot into? or is it better/simpler to go with the "what they cant see wont hurt them" style?
by socket im guessing you mean an indent for the visor to sit in, and some models have that but its more of a pain because then you have to cut the shape aboslutely perfect in order to get it to fit in rather then it just sitting flush with the edge
@@SaturdayMorningProps thanks friend, needed a second opinion before I tried adding it to a project I've been working on. was planning on making a indent kind of like half-rim glasses have, so visors could be swapped in and out. Its probably too ambitious so I'm gonna reconsider. you've been a lot of help
@@darkdude9248 hmm lenses are a bit different it's not as hard to make a smaller shape like that so if you wanted an indent it probably wouldn't be too bad for that. Do3d does indents for its Deadpool eyes but they are a printable mesh that goes in it
Hey Q4N. Would you consider doing a Fighter Pilot helmet like an HGU-55 (Top Gun Style)? I have been considering 3D printing my own helmet. Bonus: I can show you a way to add working radios to it if interested.
I've definitely been interested in doing a top gun helmet after watching maverick 🤘
@@SaturdayMorningProps Let’s do it!
@@SaturdayMorningPropsI think the breath mask could easily be a modified respirator from a hardware store.
@@SaturdayMorningProps What does it take to sponsor a video? I can buy the model.
@@Seraphzero0 message menon Instagram or discord if you have itb
In Cura is it better to print inside to outside or outside to inside
I have no idea what you mean or where that setting even is 😂 keep it simple when printing, I try not to change a million things cause if you start messing with stuff it's harder to find what caused the problem
I just miss read it, in the wall settings there is an option that says inside to outside
@@Theguys1212 leave it a default I wouldn't change anything like that
Hi, I'm making a Daft Punk helmet, the silver one, and i've bought one of those face shields but it doesen't really cover the full piece, it leaves some space of about 3 centimeters on each side. If i put two more pieces to cover then you can notice it's added and I can't find other bigger visors. I can't seem to find a cheap welder visor either. Any ideas? Thanks
So you were able to find the COVID face shields but not the welding ones? Or the welding ones were 3inch too small as well?
@@SaturdayMorningProps The covid face shield was too small. But actually I have been a little bit lucky and yesterday found the welder one in a shop and it's the correct dimension. Thank you anyway for the help and for the tutorial.
@@martinc.697 good luck and happy to help
i would assume if i were to wear a 3d printed helmet for a costume, I would need some sort of insulation any tips to make the inside of the helmet more confortable?
My iron man helmet doesn't have any at all and I've worn it for 8 hours stretches, if you get the sizing right and depending on the helmet they are comfortable either way
@@SaturdayMorningProps thank you for the information
@@trendycard7mlg804 you can always add foam inside, I think frank uses sound proofing foam
Getting the size of the helmet to fit be my problem
Have you watched my how to scale helmets video?
Can I pay somebody here to do mine
ipoly dye works better. Use PETG sheets.
thanks for adding another option 👌
can I really see from the inside?
Yes, same way you can see out a car with window tint
@@SaturdayMorningProps wow thanks for the info i will make one
Thanks so much for the upload. I've finally dipped my toe into the metal plating 3D print field. All the help I can get probably won't be enough. Thanks, again for the video and tips. Keep up the good work. Great watch.
Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, whoever looks with lust has already committed adultery in their heart. If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.
