Hi Collin, Have you or anyone in the community molded and cast your Recon helmet?

I completed this suit last year. If you check out my FB page Doc Dailey Designs, you can see all the different pics and build specifics. I hope that helps. Brokenvisr is the person you should contact for files.

Send me a private message. I paid alot of money for get this file created, and posting it on MMF or Thingiverse is messy because I'm not the original artist. I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea about my work versus another person's. My buddy Jacob at Stony Props did the modeling work...

Hi FoxtrotZero, The total print time was approx 140hrs. The layer thickness I believe was 3x3x3 and the infill was 20%. Or at least something very close to those specs. My buddy Walt did the printing for this piece, though I have gotten my own 3D printer in the meantime. I hope this info...

This is going to need some 3DS Max or Wings3D/Blender love....It's going to be a while before I can tackle this file. If anyone else wants to take a crack at it, be my guest.

Good grief you guys have been busy! Hurican89, thanks for the files! I'll put them to good use and let you know how they go! I'll be using a Solidoodle Workbench to pump some of these files out.

Your the first build I've seen use a laser cutter to slice your foam up. Looks super clean! Good idea with the 1st person view.

Finally, I used some Walmart car lighting kits and a dead man switch in the magazine area to both hide the battery and start and stop the lights. That way when I 'reload' the rifle it'll power down. I also used Rustoleum color shift paint for the purple/blue effect. It does actually change...

Pouring casts I used Smooth-On's Smooth Cast 300, for it's rigidity, and Smooth Cast 325, for it's amber transparency. That way it would allow for lighting effects later. Using baby powder in your molds allows for bubbles and a smoky finish to the poured piece. Using Ease Release 200 is a...

The molding silicone I used was Mold Star 30 (deep blue) Then I switched over to Mold Star 16 Fast (sea foam). MS30 has a 6hr cure time while the MS16F has a 30min cure time. Both are excellent for box molds and do not require degassing due to it's high viscosity. *Warning* Platinum silicone...

Finishing the 3D pieces was relatively easy. The ABS is easily sanded and the XTC-3D did a wonderful job of filling most all gaps and cracks perfectly smooth. I used some Free Form Air and some water to fill gaps between pieces because it was the dead of winter and Bondo was not an option...

3D printing and Prep: At this point about 205 hours worth of work has gone into this project. This does take time to do correctly. My buddy Walt did all the printing on this project. These were all printed out of ABS. Please note that the white pieces were much easier to work with and the...

3D Modeling Chapter: All images are from my friend Jacob who I commissioned to make this file. He used Blender to create the wire mesh for each piece. He did an amazing job. *Learning point for the future*- OVER EXAGGERATE ALL SMALL RECESSED DETAIL WHEN 3D PRINTING!!! You'll understand...

Hello All, This will be a pic heavy explanation of the Covenant Carbine H4 version. I will be as detailed as I can be and will answer all technical questions on this thread. I will break up each section so it's a bit easier to handle. The Chapters will be: -3D modeling -3D printing and...

I'm all signed up and ready to go. I'll be bringing as much of my inventory as I can for the table.
