I'm so happy it worked well for you! Thank you for such a great review. I could definitely add that mesh pattern under the eyes as well if you think it would be helpful!

That would be amazing if some slicers could just generate a thin support wall or pattern in overhangs like this, like just define from one section to another. I would work for so, so many types of prints that have odd overhangs but you may just need like a small angled support structure, instead of making the support stretch the way to the build plate!

Love Galactic Armory. Been a patreon for about a year. Always put out amazing stuff.

@4:00 Jessy, as far as the helmet sizing ring goes. When you load a new helmet, just stop the printer after 5-10 layers and remove the ring and check. been doing that for years

[JimmieZ]

This is something I had to to myself when printing helmets with overhangs like that. I's nice that Galactic Armory is doing this now but I really wish slicers would give you this option to place them yourself just like this example for areas like that.

Very cool, hopefully this is something that can be included in slicer software in the near future!

I love using the burnt titanium filament as well! Looks like yours could have used a bit more heat to get a shinier surface!

[AstrocyteCosplay]

Such an awesome idea! Way less filament and saves that nose piece failing. Even though I had supported mine well it wobbled and I had to tap it to allow it to finish. Have a layer shift that I will need to fix but at least it still printed. This is a much better idea!

I printed my first helmet for Halloween. I used your sizing guide method to make sure I had a good fit. Saved so much time and filament!

There used to be some makers on YouTube who offered amazing tutorials on modeling print in place custom supports that went into detail on how to determine where they were needed, how to minimize material, the best gaps to use to maximize support and minimize adhesion (so that you could just peel them off or out as easily as a raft)...

[labiq]

Weakness is if you scale it up/down, the integrated support too will scale along with it but its just some minor waste so no problem (unless you have a bad cooling settings when printing the small hexagon parts)

[Balrog]

Being able to place something like that in the slicer itself would be fantastic.

[stevekay]

Oh man! I’m gonna have to try this out now!

Great video!

[antonylawrence]

This is something chamanleon FX has been doing for while. We won’t get in to in to much but credit where credit is due. Chamanleon FX started this idea

[shanematthews]

Yeah that as a support option would be amazing

[mab]

Really excited for slicers pick up on this for a new type of support.

[jessemarshall]

What filament is that? It looks amazing!

[rbuyna]

Thank you for posting a link to the filament, it looks great but it wasn't on the elegoo site.

[Pyromancers]

I feel like the top of the helmet would turn out better and require less filling to clean up with a bit of adaptive layering. Starting to do .1mm layer height as it gets to top and finish on .05mm layer height at very top where the stepping becomes very noticable. I think I will be doing that in my future helmets. nice work and thanks for putting this honeycomb inbuilt support concept on our radar. I like Galactic Armory, but I really am loving Pew Pew Crafts helmets. Should give 'em a look if you haven't already.

[thomashutter]

Why I have never thought of that. Just Slice the helmet and check if it fits 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I wanted badly to print a helmet for fun, but always thinking if it will fit on the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro. Now I just can tray in 20min.
Thank you …
