Got the helmet printed and assembled with a combination of superglue and e6k. Due to some printer issues and failed prints, the two back sections of the dome are assembled from multiple prints, after caliper measurements of the part that printed to print what was left. This resulted in some misalignment that I worked on preassembly, and will have to finish sorting out in the bondo/sanding phase.
I am pleased with the fit. It works with my glasses. Keep in mind it will get raised about a half-inch to an inch off my head when I add some foam.
Keyslots and earcaps will get added later on.
Because of how many pieces the helmet is made of in order to fit it on my bed, I decided I should fiberglass the inside. But.. I hate fiberglass-- itching-- etc.
So, on the advice of Bowfanny, I decided to use Bondo Fiberglass Resin, but use Blue Shop Towels as a stand in for tfor the fiberglass mat.
I added a second coat of just resin about 30 minutes after I finished the initial layup, and it seems to have worked really well. There's almost 0 flex in the helmet, and my test piece of papertowel is definitely reinforced
Will get a 2-3 coats of black plasti-dip inside later tonight.
