wh1plash's AM2 helmet fan template

[wh1plash[TK]]

Been working on this for a bit, and thought I would share my end result with the community. I think it'll probably help quite a few people. Who knows, maybe even become a sticky or something. Many yards of butcher paper died bringing us this information.

 

If you have an AM2 helmet and want to make your own Echo-style helmet fan mount, print out this PDF on and just cut it out in ABS or something similar. I've got it scaled so it should print 1:1, and fit an AM2 helmet like a glove.

 

In this case, I made it the right length to hug the helmet all the way around, so the battery boxes would be on the inside (facing your head). This is so I can get to the batteries easily without having to take the thing out. 

 

Here's the finished template as a 1:1 PDF

And here are the raw 11x17 scans of my prototype. Obviously didn't fit on the scanner, so the weird lines are to help match it up:

Just to show you, here's what it looks like when you print the PDF at 1:1 on a large format printer. Matches the ABS prototype perfectly.

This definitely looks like something I need.

great work Brandon!  Can't wait to get this transferred for my fan set up.  Now to just find a nice scrap piece of black ABS....lol

I just picked up a sheet of acrylic. Did you add any foam to the back to keep the fans from vibratating?
