1st Build Helmet sizing question

[TheRev709]

Good morning, ya'll! I was hoping for some help on helmet sizing? I'm looking to print a Master Chief Helmet, and my head is pretty thick (size 7 7/8 hat size).

Most default sized helmets don't fit me, and I have to scale them up to 103-105% depending on the model. Most helmets like Iron Man or Deadpool are relatively easy to size with tools like RefMaker, but the MC helmet is more like a motorcycle helmet (minus padding).

When trying to scale the helmet, I'm not sure how much room I'll want/need? Thanks in advance!

100%

103%

105%

Hello,

In all of these i would rotate the helmet back some (move the back of the helmet down lower to the base of your skull,

and i would probally say 103% looks pretty good on you form this angle. its also important to take into consideration if your building the rest of the armor how it all looks together. if your not doing the rest of it its not as improtant.

You can also always add padding to helmets. they sell helmet pads in sticky/Velcro bundles. (if you plan on wearing this i recommend getting some.
