Just settled on my project for the next several months.
I acquired a Pro Series Kane Helmet from Titlewave Designs by way of his Patreon. I'm a sucker for helmets with unique-looking visors. I decided it'd be fun to build a suit around it. Not a Kane cosplay, per se, since he's banana sandwich and it's hard to self-insert that way. I'm just working around what I think is a really fun helmet design.
Naturally I've started working on the helmet first, since I already have the files for it. I'm going to pair this up with the Battle Rifle Pilot suit, since I like the silhouette of it and I'd love some mobility for a change. Nothing too exciting here, though this is the first Pro Series helmet I've printed from Titlewave and I love all the little wearability considerations.
The included cap, which is compatible with all Pro Series helmets, is a welcome addition to ensure the helmet sits on the head properly without being too far forward or back. It's loaded with 10x3 magnets (sixteen total) so it's quite secure.
The chin plate also attaches via 10x3 magnets, which makes donning and removal a cinch. One of my biggest complaint with just about most sci-fi helmets is when the opening is smaller than the internal geometry of the helmet itself, which makes sizing on one-piece buckets very difficult. I wish they were all made this way.
Not shown here but the face plate/visor attaches via printable clips. They're not the most secure, I think, so I think I'll try to find a way bolster the holding strength with a magnet or two.
At this point I'm trying to source all the soft parts of the suit, which is kind of a first for me, but thankfully I don't have a hard deadline for this build. Nice to keep it chill right now.

Bonus, if you made it this far:
The googly eyes may or may not be a permanent feature.
