Here we are :) The Dream's Helm is uploaded and ready to be printed :)

A bit about the project:

Oh wow, this was a fun one for sure, the details, the shape, so weird, so many things to figure out, but i loved it :)

The entire helmet comes in 4 parts (ideally) , the helmet base, the front piece of the mask , spine and lenses.

1. The base mesh helmet! - the curvatures and shapes prevent us from doing any reasonable cuts. Every time I thought of separating plates or "bone" structure I imagined - this will be terrible to print, and after tons of support, and cleaning and offsets it will be hard to come together. So i just added the original base shape ( people with larger printers can print it as a single piece) and also presliced it for smaller printers with 8x8 assembly pins for putting it together.

2. There is a version with and without lenses, as well lenses "standalone" for resin printing as well lenses with a little "base" for injection moulding

3. spine piece comes both split in 9 parts as well a full combined solid piece for you to choose from. the

4. the front of the mask is self explanatory, with a flat back so you can print it without supports and has 3 helmet bolts to secure to the helmet.

But I'll let the photos do the talking, so here it is, let's print the Dream's Helm :)
