Low Poly Masquerade "Phantom of the Opera" Mask

thingiverse

A remix of Kongorilla's awesome Low-Poly Mask, by way of Gromfrog's 3D remix of that original design, by way of Austin's remix of that remix. In this version, I've cut the mask down a bit to give it a more traditional masquerade cowl shape, complete with a "Phantom of the Opera" vibe by obliterating a portion on the right side. This, combined with an expanded eye aperture on the left side, makes it much easier to see while wearing the mask. It's quite comfortable to wear, except for losing a bit of peripheral vision on your left :-D There are two holes at the back, through which you can attach an elastic band to keep the mask in place on your head. The mask should be printed upside down (with the forehead resting on the print bed). The STL is already oriented accordingly. I've included two versions, an "original," which is the same size as Austin's remix, and a "widened" version. The "original" was a little too narrow to fit over my temples, so I angled the sides of the mask outward a little bit in the "widened" version. I'd estimate that the widened version would be a better fit for you if you wear an XL hat size or larger. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks to kongorilla and Gromfrog for doing the real hard work with their original models, and to Austin for the remix. Print Settings Printer: Flashforge Creator Pro Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Infill: 10% Notes: The mask should be printed upside down (with the forehead resting on the print bed). I printed mine in white ABS with automatic supports at 45 degrees to carry the inner side of the eyebrow. That should be the only part that needs support material. For my ABS print, I had to go with 10% infill and an extruder temperature of 255 degrees to prevent the part from splitting along the layer lines during printing. Bed temp 85 degrees. How I Designed This Kongorilla made the original design for 2D paper printing, and Gromfrog converted it to a 3D-printable object. I just imported Gromfrog's STL in Solidworks, did some cutting to give it the "Phantom of the Opera" shape, added a little material at the forehead to give it a nice base on which to print, and used the "rotate face" feature to create the "widened" version. Really, Kongorilla and Gromfrog deserve all the real heavy-lifting credit on this. Thanks again you guys! It's an awesome design that won me a ton of compliments at a masquerade party last night!
