Halloween costume

I'm making a imperial guard helmet from return of the Jedi. I found it on thingiverse and decided to give it a go.
The supplied item was sliced into 28 different stl files for smaller printers. I reassembled in to larger sections to accommodate the rostock max and minimize the amount of gluing required. I am totally geeking out on this one.

PLA or ABS?

It looks awesome

This looks like a good candidate for the printing contest : http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=6454

Why isn't this in the october print contest! Man, that looks awesome! Cool to hear you had to make the parts into bigger stl's for the Rostock MAX

Thanks for the compliments on the mask.
I don't think it qualifies for the print contest, due to NC I think.
Here is the link to the file from thingiverse. Maybe someone can advise if it qualifies.

Here is a updated pic. The print has been smoothed and primed.

Cheers, I thought you would get a kit out if it after I was your light saber build.
Have to make the force pike to go with it. And get it painted. Halloween is fast approaching.

Fresh from paint. All left to do is install the visitor and install some foam inside.

Are you possibly thinking of joining the Legion with this thing? It's really well done.

Awesome paint job! Do you paint cars for a living?

And THIS is how you do it, folks.

That is fantastic.

I have a few similar projects in mind. Daft Punk helmet, robocop helmet, etc etc,

No plans at the moment, having more trouble making the cloak that making the helmet.

Cheers mate,
I use to work on cars over 20 years ago. Been a printer for the last 20.

Helmet painted and visor installed. Some shots outside in the light (first day in a week it has not rained)

That really looks great! Hope we get a chance to see a pic of the whole outfit later! Keep up the good work!

That looks so professional, it's hard to imagine it was done with a 3D printer.

Here are the printed parts to make up the force pike (staff).
Forgot to take pics before painting them.

RichardMac · Post by **RichardMac** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:09 pm

Here is the pike assembled. All parts were designed to fit over a 1/2" copper pipe.

Our assembly tech, emile1138, is geeking

on this. He makes some pretty awesome stuff for Star Wars too. Really nice work. First Class.
