Dark PWF[Staff] Posted November 10, 2013 Report Posted November 10, 2013 Just when I thought it could get no better... Excellence continues, Alexsey!!! Quote
SCTrooper[TK] Posted November 21, 2013 Report Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) I am running 1 nidec fan with a 9v battery and it's very quiet. Not as much cfm as the larger fan and won't run as long. I would rather replace one battery than three. I guess you could get rechargeable batteries. Edited November 25, 2013 by SCTrooper Quote
Rawgee Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Wow very nice build, the best I've seen so far! Like others say, very inspirational! Quote
Tehcaveman Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I've got the Echoworks fan bracket system few days ago. Some little tweaks. Replacing the fans (which I will use in my other project ) with the ultra quiet nidec gamma26 fans, it's required 6 X 1.5V batteries, so I replace also the battery racks: Replacing bolts (that gives the vibration from the fan to the helmet plastic) with the fan "silicon bolts": And I have quiet fans, hidden battery racks and perfect view of the helmet interior with Echo's brackets: What did you use to mount the fan inside the helmet ?

HeZoR Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I see they have one hole, so you can't flip them,(mirrored), the placement for the right should point at a different angle for the air to flow on the lens. Nice work. Edited March 9, 2014 by HeZoR Quote
BLUEJAKE[TK] Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Brilliant thread!!!! So copyin the kneepad idea Quote
Ales Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Posted March 17, 2014 What did you use to mount the fan inside the helmet ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Fan bracket just fit good inside the helmet, so it's don't need to make any special mount. If you are talking about the fans itself - I used the silicon bolts, that use in computer fans mounts (see one of above images) Quote
toybiz[TK] Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Truly a work of art and inspirational to those of us that have yet to complete our builds, thank you for sharing. Quote
illusionz_09[TK] Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Great Build! I have one question, how long did you take to remove the decal template after you paint? Do you wait until fully dried or shortly after painting when still a bit fresh? Quote
Ales Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Posted June 30, 2014 Sorry for late response David. This forum don't send the notices to e-mail by my posts. I wait shortly after painting and then SLOWLY remove the decal using the tweezers. Quote

Picture of what the bolts itself looks like or a link maybe to where you purchased them? Quote
MaskedVengeance[Staff] Posted August 29, 2020 Report Posted August 29, 2020 Seven years ago today, TO-THE-DATE, Alexey posted this excellent ATA helmet build tutorial, and I can finally check this off on my PDF conversion to-do list. LINKED HERE is a 21-page PDF which includes a clickable table of contents, when viewed in a PDF reader or on a tablet, and all of Alexey's content and most of the other comments. If builders elect to print this document, it is sized for US letter paper. This AWESOME tutorial thread is also linked to in my All-In-One Resource Compilation thread, should any other ATA builder need additional resources and links to other great ATA build threads. Quote
