1st Build Visor installation?

[endmehours]

My helmet is 3d printed & my visor is vacuum formed. I can't find any resources relevant to these mediums and how to install/attach the visor

I did look in the tutorial index but again it wasn't something I'd be able to do (drilling & screwing)

Thank you!

Many including myself use hot glue. Important to not use too high of a temp or avoid excess hot glue buildup, otherwise you can risk melting / deforming that portion of the visor.

I recommend fitting it without glue first and make sure you have a plan in mind before commiting. Good luck!

Tysm!!

Yes, as Parzival has mentioned- typically hot gluing the visor in works just got to be careful with it. I intend on doing vacuum forming for my visors once I get through some. How do you have your rig set up for it? Did you make your own box and if so got directions? I just have trouble finding set directions and dimensions for making one.

Hot glue is a solid way to go! I usually use it for my helmets

If you want to make the visor removable, I've had success installing Chicago screws along the edges of the visor inside the helmet. Best of luck whichever way you go

Another option to make your visor remove able that has gained a lot of popularity recently is to use Velcro of you have enough extra material around the edge of your visor. Just line the opening in your helmet with the loop or soft side, and place the hook side on the visor to match. This will help prevent your visor from getting scratches, and makes it so you can remove or reposition your visor.

That said, I'm not sure what you mean by saying you are not able to drill or a screw. Are you afraid that method is not compatible with 3D printed helmets? The Chicago screw method mentioned above and found in the Tutorial Index does work with 3D printed helmets, and has been done by many folks. Or do you just not have access to a drill and Chicago screws?
