Who's your favourite Daft Punk helmet design: Thomas or Guy?
Idk the names, but the silver one lol
@@kingofthedarkarts599 Thomas, good choice 👍
Thomas 😁
damn i chose guy lol
Thomas ❤
Man you genuinely helped me find a place to start, I didn't know how I was gonna make Thomas's helmet XD
The fact that you don’t have more views and subscribers is crazy. Your videos are excellent and entertaining
Appreciate the kind words. We'll get there eventually; just going to take some time is all :)
The more likes and subscribers will throw the videos into more algorythims.
You should make a build where you become both members of Daft Punk with some other 3rd thing, like an LED helmet Cerberus
I actually had the idea to make the RAM album artwork cover into an actual helmet. I still could 🤔
Id recommend making the PCBs transparent and flex, i know PCBway does that so combining the "bug screen effect" and the transparent PCB you could see way more, with the minor issue of the PCBs being slightly blurry and being able to see the traces still
Good idea, just designed my first flex PCB last year...you'll likely see this method on an upcoming vid 😜
I'm also building this helmet. Don't have all these sophisticated tools and materials but... I do know how to make due with what i can get my hands on.
I'll post a link when i'm done
Can't wait to see it!
It’s me again lol, just finished the video, bro not just you are extremely talented, but these videos are very well edited. That resin mold seems to be pretty hard to do at first. I’ll sub to you my g, and I’ll tell everyone in my school about you
Appreciated!
Man , this looks amazing . Hope i could replicate something like this :))
Definitely worth giving it a try! With 3D printers and 3D models of the helmet available online, it's never been easier to get into
That, or you could look on Etsy for people selling the base plastic resin helmet
@@CaptainSteel Definitely gonna try to 3D print it and then put the electronics for the RGB light effects. Been looking at your implementation along with a couple other people on CZcams on how they made it. Always love it when indie people DIY the whole thing instead of paying $1000s of dollars on Etsy/EBay and express their love towards Daft Punk :))
@@Daggerhead69 If you haven't already, check out Volpin Prop's helmets - I remember working on my helmet around the time he released his!
@@CaptainSteel Yo thanks for the info dawg. Appreciate it :))
@@Daggerhead69 No problem!
amazing video, although i cant help but notice the LEDs are crooked
I’d love to make a helmet in the style of a motorcycle helmet but I definitely don’t have the skills for it. I hope I can find someone to do a custom job.
That would be super sweet. I know that Master Chief style motorcycle helmets exist, surely a Daft Punk set should exist somewhere out there as well
Let me know if you find someone that will do that - I'd be interested in getting one as well :)
That’s so cool! This deserves way more views than it has!
It's slowly getting there!
Thank you for posting this. Imma link it to my daft punk homies
0:37 moment
How did they mass produce it for that crowd shot ? and was it the same quality as the main helmet of thomas or just low quality copies for the quick clip ?
Would have been a resin cast mold that they could quickly churn out multiples (like what I did). They would have sent the helmets out to a shop to chrome finish it, and then made the visors out of bent plastic. The ones in the video you speak of didn't have any of the electronics in them, so it would have been easy to make a bunch of them
Thanks to tiktok for bringing me here
Thanks for coming and finding me! Enjoy your stay :)
Anyway you can supply instructions on the LEDS/ make a kit people can buy from you to DIY it themselves?
Thanks!
The LEDs I used were called the WS2812b's - also commonly known as the Adafruit "neopixel". These usually come in the forms of grid displays, or LED strips which can be found off of sparkfun or amazon (as an example)
However, this is not what I used for this project - I actually custom designed all the PCBs myself. Are you interested in those boards? I could possibly upload my gerber files to a git somewhere for people to download, but you'll have to figure out how to order them. I can also make a small guide for how to order those boards
Hey, Cap! Can you perhaps follow through with this? I have a project in the works and I would like to use these boards to use for my cosplay. Will wait for your reply, thanks!@@CaptainSteel
@@kins_rose1082 haven't seen enough interest as of yet, but I'm making note of everyone that asks!
@@CaptainSteel I wanted to ask how much this would cost. How much did these PCBs cost you? Just a quote to see if this is financially viable for me.
@@kins_rose1082 PCBs were around $300 for the different designs, plus the components would have made it around $500 total. I'd have to get it requoted to get it completely accurate
I think it would be awesome if you could do Deadmau5 helmet
I'll add it to my list :)
Bet!!!
@@StarBoi04 I am a bit of a Deadmau5 fan, but I never realized at how few helmets he had. Looking online, I can only find like 5 or 6. Did he have a version of the helmet that had LEDs across the whole thing? As in: eyes, mouth, face, and ears?
@@CaptainSteel the ones I only know of are when the mouth and eyes just light up one color, but hey maybe you can just take some creative liberties and be the first on. Also later on down the line maybe you could do Marshmallow. I’m not the biggest fan of his but his helmet is pretty sick especially when it lights up
@@StarBoi04 Absolutely - I take creative liberties to the next level haha
How did you produce the clothing for this cosplay?
Made it myself
Basically, it's an oversized black suit that was reconstructed into the actual costume
This might be a long shot but,
I’m trying to making my own helmet with some LED, but I have no idea what board to use or how to control it, with some random searches on CZcams I stumbled across your video, I hope you can help!
I'd start by picking up an Arduino, and purchasing some neopixels online. There's lots of tutorials out there on how to program the device to make them work!
Helmet sculpt could use a LOT more refinement. Otherwise decent.

Do you have an stl file of the led slot holders?
I believe I have a dxf for the slot holders (for laser cutting). I assume you want to 3d print them though?
@@CaptainSteel correct, and did you manually create the LED strips? I’m gonna be using them for a Miles Morales 2020 helmet
@@rocketman3652 the led boards were of a custom PCB design that I made. Not 100% sure the holders I designed will work with off the shelf led strips
Bro your videos slap get this guy to a mill. Brandon sent me
As far as i know.....they never "played a show" with thoes early helmets. And most likely never would
Holy shit, your video is the best! But I have a question. Can you see ahead if you wear that helmet? The field of view is full of LEDs, so I don't think I can see...?
You can actually! I think I explain the concept a little more in my Guy Manuel helmet video
@@CaptainSteel By the way, is Thomas' helmet plated or chrome painted? If it's painting, can you tell me how to paint it with chrome and how much it costs?
@@user-kn2yd3nz1k They were both plated
I've heard that you can use a graphite paint base with a chrome spray paint top layer to get a pretty good chrome effect
Lovely vid, I’m a new sub❤
Glad to have yah join 😁
Bruh your to talent for CZcams
How did you paint this?
Sent it to a plastic trophy electroplating company - they chromed it up for me :)
@@CaptainSteel may I ask what company?
@@ratkingzzzzz It was someone local to me here in Canada. If you do a quick google search for "Plastic Sports Trophy Manufacturer Near Me" you should be able to find someone. Jobs can cost anywhere between $100USD and $300USD for a helmet this size
Hope that helps!
@@CaptainSteel yes thank you very much
do you have a template for the helmet?
I actually used a pepakura Thomas Bangalter helmet design to make the base for the mother mold - if you Google it you should be able to find it :)
If you need additional steps on how to get a good looking helmet from there, let me know!

you accept debit or credit cards?
I have a patreon haha :p

Man this video was perfect, ive been trying to make a thomas helmet since i was 12. Im 20 now and still trying to make it. You wouldn’t happen to still have those PCB designs on you? Is there any way I could buy it from you to use on my own project? Or any parts lists or wiring diagram.
I could possibly do that, I've made design files available for purchase for others in the past. Though the pcbs are for the helmet I made so there's no guarantees that it would fit perfectly in the helmet you make/buy. If you're cool with that I can package the files, BOM, and brief instructions for yah
