Props Visors for little dudes and nerf battles

[RyFISH]

So I found some cool plastic mesh stuff on Amazon that Im using on a helmet I’m working with my little brother.

I tested it with all accepted ammo types allowed on the forums
-All nerf types bounce off, like they hit and fly off the opposite direction
-Gel hit and splinter, I recommend eye protection underneath

The visibility is decent and the cool part is that you can look in from the outside so if your kid is expressive you can deduct what’s going on underneath.

Breathing isn't an issue because it’s just mesh

Securing it is simple. Duct tape or hot glue will do the trick. The stuff flexes so seal most if not all the edges

As for this helmet I’m probably going to donate it to the pacific booth after my little brother grows out of it.

If you’ve got a 3D printer you can generate and print your own meshes, in case buying one right now is not an option.

Generate a cube (or whatever shape you want, as long as the top and bottom are flat).

This is important: uncheck “uniform scaling.” Now you can play with each axis individually. To change the size (area) of the mesh, adjust the x and y axes to cover the area you want your mesh for.
Scale the height (z axis) down to one or two layers. Three can work too, but the more layers you use, the less pliable/bendy it’ll be.

Set top and bottom layers to zero. Wall count is whatever you want, but I highly suggest at least 3 so your edges don’t tear apart.

Then here’s the magic: Play with the infill pattern and density until you get a mesh you like.

I haven’t used this trick for visors yet, but I did use it on an oni mask to keep my mouth from showing through.

You can attach it however you want. You can also use heat to form it around a desired area (like, say, a visor buck). Just be careful doing this - it’s still plastic, after all, and it can melt.
