Just finished making this. Took me about 3 hours from cutting to assembly. Got no glue gun here, so I just scotch taped it. This is a pretty enjoyable build, while stuck at home. Now looking for acetate film or old sunglasses to put on the eyes. Thanks for this!

Gee thanks. I was lucky to have 3 clean white 0.5 mm cardboard to work with. They came part of a packaging for a pack of plastic sheets. I did not have any spray paint, but i did have cheap fountain pen ink refills that i diluted with a bit of alcohol. I brushed it over the cardboard and the ink did not cover the tape. That was a pleasant effect. But I still want some dripping effect on the tape, so I got a permanent marker diluted it with alcohol and squeezed it over the parts I want that dripping effect on. Really enjoyed making this. I was really excited to make this that I didn't bother taking pictures of what I was doing. Someone is already making use of it. see attached pic.

As long as the clips holds. Enjoy making it!

My friend actually wears this on randomly.

I agree its perfect! Great job on this. I know your 4 yr old will have a great time wearing this.

I watered down my mixture to 1 part plaster to 1 part water and 1 part elmers glue. What i did to apply the mixture was brush on a coat on the portion roughly the size of the paper towel that will apply to it. Then apply another coat on it after i put down the paper towel. The plaster coat mixture is more to give the helmet some hardness and structure.

Hey NickC270, check out my reply below. Can't edit the instructables right now to replace the PDF, but was able to attach the file on the reply.Hope this helps. And thanks for commenting. Happy building.

Looks like something went wrong when the file was uploaded. You may need to use the pdo files as I can no longer find the original pdf files. Sorry. :(

thanks!

thanks! hope to see your build soon.

in pepakura viewer you can adjust the line thickness to make it more visible. Also use vector printing. you can see all these options under the printer settings.

hope to see your build soon. :)

sorry, been busy with the holiday rush and all. I'll try checking in more often.

sorry, been busy lately. pdf uploaded.

Just click on the link provided above. i have uploaded it to this site just in case the website of the owner is down. The file is .pdo you need pepakura viewer to open it.

it´s on the website mentioned on the introduction. here it is just in case you missed it. http://paper-replika.com/index.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26id%3D7472:stormtrooper-helmet-with-eva-foam-pepakura%26Itemid%3D200144

have not actually tested it on games, I use this to gain access to the pi if I need to check or update it. I have tried running video on it and there is a very noticeable lag.

each side is attached to each other. it's up to you if you want to trim it shorter or extend it a bit so you can slip it on your head. Or you can put velcro on each side so you can open it up and fasten it when wearing it.

This build comes in 2 parts. One is the helmet and the other is the mask. You wear the mask first like a regular face mask and then simply put on the helmet like a hat. In my case I made some adjustments on the mask so it will my face. You may use velcro or just a string to tie it in place. As for the helmet you can put foam paddings like I did so it will sit perfectly on my head.

it's just part of the pepakura assembly.

Someone made a comment before that the file on therpf.com site was change by the author. I have uploaded file I used for this build above. That is the "Fallout NV NCR Veteran Ranger Helm by Hugh.pdo" this is part of the mic assembly.

Paper for what? for the helmet structure or the tissues? ordinary paper towels would be ideal as they don't break off easily. if your asking for the paper for the pepakura printing I used card boards like that of folders.

Scaling in pepakura will be done for the whole file. So if you're working on a helmet the scale will be applied for all the parts in that file. youtube has a lot of tutorials on how to do this. here is a link to one of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_220579&feature=iv&src_vid=tyZ-rDNfTqw&v=nq_IE9ARtIU

just in case, here are my print settings on my pepakura viewer.

have a look at the print settings in pepakura, you can select vector so the lines will be more visible during printing. You can also check your printer settings, print in monochrome and adjust contrast. if those doesn't help check out the pdf files above and print them out normally. hope this helps.

I used plaster of paris on this build. If I had access to that, I would have definitely tried using that. As this would probably saved a lot of time.

got a unit like this. yes its old AF :)

Ok, so I finally got around uploading a copy of the old pep file I used for this project. The file link above has been updated by the owner. Both files are property of the guy in the link.

The case drawing file has been uploaded. :)

i will as soon as i upload the cad file for the rpi case. thanks again for the comment. :)

thanks :)

the pep files are in the link provided or alternately I could send you the files I've used for this build. I was informed that the files in the link were updated for more detailed construction. The pep files are printed in the same scale, so i don't think you need to worry if it will fit the other pieces. the files are in my email, I'm too darn lazy to upload them anywhere else. So drop me a message with your email so I can send it to you.

message me your email and i'll send it to you.

They are just a bunch of broken boards of cellphones and webcam parts. I used instant glue to stick it on the helmet. This part is optional as you can just paint it as you like. I wanted to make the helmet look worn so I added the broken bits and pieces.

any chance cayenne would support timers? Not the event or schedule, but actual timing of triggered pins?
