Can You 3D Print a HELMET on a SMALL 3D Printer? | TUTORIAL |

This is a SUPER common question across my social medias- and for good reason! 3D printing something that is larger than the printer itself can be a bit intimidating. I hope this video gives you the confidence to print large items on any size printer!

THANK YOU! I'm extremely new to the hobby and I was struggling to find a proper tutorial for printing helmets on my Prusa Mini

[minecraftmoney]

I have been waiting for a vid like this im making an mandalorian and iron man helmet

[matthewcurtis]

I just started this Hobby with an Ender 3 Pro and thought I was limited to my prints; thank you for these videos and guides on using smaller printers, as I just printed my first Halo ODST helmet thanks to you. Please keep up these great videos for novices like me.

[insaneturbo]

Big thanks to you for doing these videos, got my Ender 3 one week ago with intent on rebuilding my Predator costume with NO fiberglass, way to heavy. Your to the point, no bullship approach to teaching is perfect, thanks again!!

[brianmccurdy]

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY! I got a small 3d printer for christmas and was worried it was too small to print mandalorian armor, and now I'm gonna learn how with my small printer! Mainly using this video. I definitely subscribed to your channel!

[devinne]

I'm alreaady a 3D-printing veteran, still had fun watching this. Keep up the great work!!!

[gunplajrtoysreviewer]

I just got my first 3d print- Ender 3. This video is amazing and just hit the point where I'm looking for.. Thanks bro 😊

[That_Stinger_GT]

Bro I just want to say, seeing what you've accomplished, I'm excited to see how my journey will be, I ordered an Ender 3 pro with everything already upgraded, just got my filament today, can't wait to learn this new hobby and make my own 3D projects come to life.

[SkunkLifeMedia]

Exactly the kind of video I needed to see.

Getting into 3d printing for a few reasons, but one of the larger reasons was printing the helmet/cowl and some other pieces for the main character of a super hero series I am working on. Had been wondering how I was going to print it if I didn't have a super large, super expensive printer. Nice to know I can easily break it up.

Now the hard part of picking my first printer....

Just got a 3d printer a couple of weeks ago and was inspired by your videos to start working on an Ironman Mk 3 helmet on my Mega Zero 2. Couple of large pieces left to go that I was thinking about cutting up into smaller parts to avoid the 12 or so hour build times all at once. Going to have to get that Mesh mixer tonight and start cutting. IF I manage to not mess up too badly on the sanding and painting and such, next project will need to be some Halo helmet for my son. At least that one will be scaled a fair bit smaller so hopefully less work on the cutting to fit the printer. I have a feeling the house is going to be chock full of various helmets, armor, and accessories in the coming years. I think I'm going to need more printers lol

[SymphonicKnight]

Thank you so very much for taking the time and helping explain this in detail. And your prints are absolutely epic!

[dustfoxyt]

Hey, thank you for this video! I just got my first ender 3 and was excited to get into printing, but was bummed because I thought it would be too small to really make some cool builds like this. Thank you for showing me what it can do, and inspiring me with a goal to get to!

[douglassanchez]

Amazing tutorial! You just saved me from a major headache. Can’t wait to see your next one!

[billykoscielny]

Great video, answered all the questions I was just beginning to search for, thank you.

[kraalwig]

i have been wanting to ask you this on tiktok on just about all your videos.... you are a blessing to this community

[ssdaniel]

Great job as always brother!!! I learn something new everytime

[alexrobles]

Thanks so much, thanks for the content and the tutorials. You are the creator that got me to buy my ender 3 pro and start learning it. I was just wondering how to weld two pieces (for an arcade coin door) and there is your video.. Thanks so much.

[Grillbysans]

THANK YOU! YOU SAVED ME 24 HOURS OF TESTING RINCE AND REPEAT!

[erikarivas]

Thank you so much for this! This is exactly what I needed. And you made it easy to follow, thanks.

[doomslayer]

Awesome work very clever on the slices
