daft punk thomas helmet

This is a full sized daft punk helmet that consists of 16 parts that can be printed on a 220x220 build plate. A 4 part version for larger printers is also available now.

This is still NOT an easy project if you want to make it look perfect, It still requires many hours of filling and sanding before painting if you want a smooth finish without visible seams.

I assembled it by first taping it together and then welding the pieces together from the inside with a soldering iron and i melted some scrap support material with it as extra reinforcement. Don't heat it too much or it will deform.

note: the seam along the top is intentional, this is also present on the real helmet

total print time for me was 102 hours with the ears and visor at 0.12mm layer height and the head at 0.2mm

Also included is an LED holder for the tron style. it fits 100 5mm led's. connect all led's in parallel and connect each section with wires. make sure they slide in and out each other easily for easy
