Tips for 3D Printing Helmets on Bambu Lab 3D Printers

Here is how I 3D Print helmets on the Bambu Lab x1 carbon or P1P even with the smaller buildvolume.

3D Head for Scaling 3D Prints




Thanks for watching!

that intro showing how to scale for a head scan model is always appreciated. I have to start doing this lol

Bambu needs to get a 350x350x350 or a 400x400x400 unit out there with a few more improvements to the machine and slicer. If that happens with a sub-$1000 price, they will own the FDM market.

This is awesome. When I do helmets, in Modo, I draw a contour around a mannequin head that I scanned and using a constraint, I can measure my exact head circumference (which is 24in). And my helmets will ALWAYS fit

My P1P is coming Thursday. So I’m excited to see any video about it and it’s software. Thanks for the video

Would love to see an indepth tutorial on using the bambu x1 slicer!

I have the last big piece of the Ironman MK2 printing on my P1P right now. Loving my machine. Thanks for the tips!

Ordered my x1 on friday, can't wait! Thanks Tax Return!

Just got my P1S 😊 This video arrived just in time! Thanks UJ for the awesome content as always!

[RyanFribble]

I really appreciate you showing failed prints and unideal scaling. Cosplay props are the worst for those kinds of things

I think it's safe to say Uncle Jessy is a Marvel Fan 😄 Amazing video, keep up the great work.

Great info just wish I saw it 4 hours ago before I started this 12 hour print :)

Currently working on a 90% size F-35 helmet for my son and printing the main shell now out of black PLA to do a test fit but if it works I won't reprint it. This is gonna be a big project though with the X1C handling the larger items and my coming soon Anycubic Photon M7 handling the smaller bits, flexible parts like the oxygen mask and the clear front face shields. Tossed those into the Anycubic Photon Workshop and the fronts will just fit on the resin printer so I'll use some clear resin to print those. Got some hydrodip carbon fiber patterns coming as well to match the real helmet shell patterns. Gonna be epic when it's complete!

Love the content! Please upload more frequently.! :)

One of the things I didn't like about my X1C with the AMS was when doing multi material prints I noticed the filament was ramming through the PTFE tubing
It wasn't causing any issues but I did swap out the PTFE that came stock from the AMS all the way to the extruder for Capricorn tubing
as silk now and although I can't say with 100% certainty that it helped with the filament purging between colors since I swapped out the tubing I've been able to reduce my flushing volumes with no color bleeding what so ever
I also noticed since the swap that my 24 minute benchy does not have the little zits in the back
I wanted to know why the bottom of the hull on the benchy looked shiny compared to the upper half so I printed it in clear PLA
That is simply the infill on the bottom half giving that effect and it looks to be at around 5% infill
I'm happy you are enjoying your Bambulab printer, the first one you got was a dud and that sucked
I also added LED lights under my AMS which lights up the build area very bright but I leave it off during the calibration process so the lidar doesn't give a false reading

Woah, nine and a half hour to print a full size helmet? That's impressive.

[skyrider]

Nice one. I love the Tree Support Slim on my X1...so good.

[pandiculation]

Leave space to install padding. It will also slow the heat build up. Find a way to have air vents. Which filament could offer the best (impact or blow) protection? or survive a party atmosphere?

[jacobbby]

Curious if you've ever used armorsmith for resizing prints? I grabbed a copy a few months ago and it's been great! I don't have an iPhone though nor did I have access to your calliper file back then 😂

[selinakyle]

This couldn’t be more timely. I bought this printer because of your review. And all I want to do is print the waksbda forever black panther mask lol

[TheStudio_]

Would you please please please do a video on how to print helmets like this on the Elegoo Neptune Pro?? I’m a newbie and kinda lost lol. THanks for all the great videos!👍

[zerohorns]

My helmets inside dome always have string loops with and without supports on X1C

Can you do a video on how to fix it, please?
