LED Light Rings & Modded Parts for Daft Punk Thomas Helmet by Nathan720

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Custom light rings and other parts for Ben Diger's Daft Punk Helmet
NOTE: Some parts may appear different in photos, this is a work in progress. I made two Thomas helmets, a silver one in 2015 and a gloss gray one in 2017 as you may notice in the photos.
These parts are modifications on this Daft Punk Thomas Helmet:

Visor Form: Heat pre-cut, pre-tinted acrylic and drape over mold to form visor
Update: Added some "Combined" parts for larger printers. The visor parts and LED Matrix supports work much better when printed in one piece (instead of left & right) so if you have a larger printer (10"x10" or so) use these files.
