Hey everyone, I just put up Video number 1 in my printed helmet project over on my YouTube channel. I've been a member of the Dented Helmet for a while, and have been admiring the awesome work you guys do. I recently got a 3D printer and knew that this was going to be the first big project I try and tackle.
Modeling the helmet has been a very frustrating, but rewarding process. I am a CAD guy by trade, but I mostly deal with mechanical models, not many organic shapes. This has been a huge learning process for me. I'm also using a software in Fusion 360, that I'm not entirely comfortable in yet. But, this project has certainly helped me really get into Fusion. I'm not going for an exact screen replica, that would be impossible for me. But, I am trying to build a pretty decent 3D model.
Here is a link to the video:
