Magneto Helmet by Hysteresis

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

A wearable helmet inspired by Magneto from X-Men: Days of Future Past. I wore this to Comic Con Denver 2017, and it survived all 3 days without breaking.
Sizing Table (Estimates):
Measure the circumference of your head around your brow (see the included picture), and consult the scaling percentage chart below. These are based on estimates I generated in my modeling software.
Brow Circumference (in mm)
Scale Factor (all dimensions)
765 mm

734 mm
1.20x
704 mm
1.15x

NOTES:
1) I have a fairly large head, so the helmet maybe big on you if you print it as it is. If you scale it let me know your brim circumference and scale factor so I can fill out the table above.
2) Depending on your print bed size (and helmet size) you may want to split the helmet into multiple pieces. I had to split mine into 4 separate pieces. A bit of Bondo will fix this problem easily.
3) Leave some space between your head and the interior of the helmet. You'll want to attach foam pads on the inside to make it more wearable, and you'll want adequate space (~5mm) to pull you head out of the helmet. If you follow my scaling guide, I believe this space should be adequate.
Thanks to lehthanis for use of his human head model that allowed me to design this:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:758647
Its his model featured as the head model in the pictures. This file does not include the head model.
