3D Printed Tali Helmet (with vacuum formed visor)

thingiverse

Hello! I've been dreaming about making of Tali's Helmet for years. Finally I decided I'm profficient enough to pull it off! Check out the full adventure (and assembly tutorial) on my Youtube: Part 1: https://youtu.be/fi-FgQYNNqM Part 2: https://youtu.be/B22pOmOu8SI The Arduino code and electronics diagram for the blinking light can be found on my Arduino Project Hub: https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/bzqp/voice-activated-3d-printed-tali-s-helmet-48bfb8?ref=user&ref_id=1479266&offset=0 The model was based on two sources: - Rainyfire's model (which had some severe geometry problems and lacked many details) - In-game Tali model extracted from ME3 The files were designed and split for 3D printing. I also prepared a 3D-printable buck for vacuum forming of the visor and some small extras. The model was scaled for a generic, female head (56-60cm head circumference). The files include: Split helmet parts for 3D printing (for 180x180 buildplate): -back_bottom_left -back_bottom_right -back_top_left -back_top_right -front_left -front_right -middle_bottom_left -middle_bottom_right -middle_top_left -middle_top_right All split parts in one STL file: -tali_helmet_split The whole, unsplit helmet: -tali_helmet_whole Emergency Induction Port (for transparent filament, with a hole for a straw): -emergency_induction_port Vacuum forming buck (without extra air tubes): -buck_without_tubes Vacuum forming buck (with extra air tubes): -buck_with_tubes Vacuum forming buck with tubes split for a 180x180 build plate: -buck1 -buck2 -buck3 -buck4 Knob for the potentiometer in the back of the helmet: -5mm_knobs_tight_and_loose
