The pieces are coming together for my GM08 helmet... Currently printing the frame for the LEDs in black. the frame will also keep most of the parts together when they are glued together.

And there will be a lot of post-processing.. cleaning up the parts where support structures were attached, sanding to make it all as smooth and round as possible, while hopefully keeping some structural integrity despite it being made from multiple parts. The "headband" is the part I'm most worried about, I might need to print some internal supoprt for this.

Printing this model:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7263919 since my printer is capable of printing 235x225x300mm. Lesson learned so far: just take the fullsize model, and cut it up in the slicer, because then it's also possible to add connecting structures, which will help to line up parts and keep things together nice and tight.

I was working on a helmet for a long time but always struggled with mounting my LED arrangement onto the helmet body. And to be honest... the helmet I got, 9.years ago or so, was waaay to small to fit the LEDs and a real head 😁

So inspired by a couple of members here, I decided to print this. my 3d printer can handle max 235x225, so I had to print in pieces. This turns out to be quite the challenge because they need s lot of support structures, which means there's some extra post processing to do. as you can see, some of the supports are still there, but I just had to grab this picture to see the overall look of it.

I'll print some structures to go on the inside of where things are cut in half, to make sure everything lines up and isn't suffering in strength because of the cuts in the model.

I created a battery cover for this awesome 3000mAh battery mod, you can read about here:

The battery cover is pretty easy to print and install, and keeps the bigger battery nicely tight in place!
