I was just looking at my helmet and wondering how to do the mech for the face plate, the few that have this up and running don't seem to want to share the inner workings of their helmet. I think this is bad form, as you should give and take in a communities like this. I wouldn't be doing an Iron man suit if it wasn't for Db's helmet and Df's suit, the least I can do is give credit to them and their excellent models and give advise to others who are just starting on them. Some people forget things like this and hoard their ideas , share with a select few, then willy wave at you, an outsider when you ask how it was done... This has turn into a little rant so i'll snip it there.
Anyway, I think I have an idea.
A pc cd drive, the movement of it is just perfect!!.
I have a few out in the garage that I am going to cannibalize this weekend, it's too cold to do it at the moment as it's -6C out there,brrrrrrrr.
It has everything, ideal amount of travel, limit switch, open/close button, tracks, motor.
It will just be a case of removing any redundant bits but still have it function, then mod it for use.
The movement of the face plate in my mind pushes away first then slides back, hows it going to work?.
Care to share?.
