Great video as usual. Do you have a link to the magnets you used? (Website/size/strength?)

[STORMBREAKER_]

I just want to say thank you for putting out these videos. I'm just finishing up my first cosplay as the white power ranger. I've been following this guide religiously. The results speak for themselves!

[officialspock]

Wow, your method of using magnets is much easier than other methods I've watched, thanks for this

[DukeFavre]

4:05 IT'S REDHOOD!!!! That's soo cool

[nvr.MoR.]

I just bought my first 3d printed helmet for a cosplay and I was beating myself up on how to attach the back plate. This video solved my issue at such an easy low cost way. Ty!

[ghostshade]

Make a predator mask that would be awesome step by step.

[ethansdadd]

Nice. I didn't realize that hinges can be as easy as a piece of elastic.

[segoviaale]

That helmet looks like it fits really well. Have you done a video on scaling?

[Necroscat]

Amazing Video Series!!!! Used this to paint my Darth Revan helmet & made a project out of it with my girlfriend! Thanks so much for going through all the steps & explaining everything! Can't wait for Halloween!
I think this might end up becoming a hobby of mine!

[deena_st]

I’m currently working on my Mr. Knight helmet. This video was helpful. Thank you for posting.

[ssdbfqy]

I can't believe those tiny magnets hold the back piece on, that's crazy! i purchased 1mm magnets not realising how small they were and i couldn't stop laughing, they were surprisingly somewhat powerful

[verkanoprints]

hey man, please continue posting
I love your vids!

[tylerkister]

I know I'm late but I'm just getting into the cosplay scene and I just bought this exact helmet and I'm gonna follow your tutorials to get it ready for march

[jasperrules]

How many magnets do you need to keep the pieces from separating? Do you have a rule of thumb for how many per inch? The one I am making has a faceplate i want to make detachable.

[TheGreatBooger]

Could you use a bump helmet chin strap to secure the helmet to your head better? Getting one of Villianous Props helmets to use in airsoft. So making sure it stays on my head I wonder if a chin strap would work along with foam.

[Gregraven]

Question, what type of drill bit did you use and where can i get one? I tried a regular drill bit but it caused the edges to raise. Thanks.

[Voorsryeken]

What is the size of the drill bit you used? I am working on this exact helmet and trying to figure out which bit to go buy to make the spots for the magnets.

[vacantduck]

juts bought a red hood helmet should be coming in a couple days or weeks :)

[Wildcard]

Man you are awesome im barely starting out and this help a-lot

[psx]

That hinge, where did you get that? Thanks
