my first pep helm (new pics on page 5)

[silvershadow]

i think the fans are 80mm, and run on anywhere from 5-12v, i suppose i could use a potentiometer then i could controll the speed... and i also wouldent have to worry about getting the right resistor then... does anyone know if a pot can be used in place of a switch/resistor?

 

[ssor106]

well i have pics on the earlier pages of how i did it am i am probably going to put it in the back since the switch is there

 

[silvershadow]

but wheres the intake for the fan? or would that not really matter?

It all depends on how you want your helmet to be set up... It's all personal preference...

Nice work, are you going to bondo/dremel H3 details in.

Sorry,but is that made of card stock or paper,It looks amazing!!

 

[Macattack64]

ssor, I think I'm gonna remake my helmet just so there where be a little bit more room for after I fiberglass...

 

[ssor106]

that would be a good idea

 

[Macattack64]

Yea... Now I'll have to get more paper... -.-... Maybe I should keep this one as a test one... Then sell it on Ebay...

Starting bid... $20.00... LOL
