3d Printed TK Helmet Lenses?

[ChaoticAmanin]

Has anyone done this one...and if so, do any of the currently-available bubble lenses fit in it?

Doesn't come up in a forum search or the R1 resources thread

 

 

I'm no R1 expert by any means but appears to have a lot of details which aren't offered on a lot of other 3D prints, even the use of rubber trim for the brow.

 

Here is their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Printarmory

 

Their regular Stormtrooper helmet looks like it could do with a lot of modifications but reading some of the comments appears they do try to correct anything pointed out to them.

How would you see through a printed lens? I’m fine being ignorant on this but I can’t comprehend it with my limited knowledge

While they do make transparent/translucent filament, these are too thick and I assume the printed lenses are so you can shape acrylic or similar. I was just wondering if any existing lenses exist or if I have to teach myself how to melt and shape stuff. My wife won't be happy if I ooze acrylic all over the oven

From how they have named the lenses I would think they are to be used as a mold for vac forming. It's quite easy to make two square frames to hold a piece of plastic, heat then pull over a mold, pretty basic vac forming but it does work. 

 

A little like what Jeff has done

Bookmarked...I can handle the rudimentary method
