I'm back with my long lost hobby, making helmets motivated by spreading democracy.
There are actually lots of steps and repaints that are not on the video, i go back and forth with the sanding and painting it with primer cause I always miss small spots (or even big spots), one mistake I did is sanding too hard and the PLA surface melts and creates a huge dent.
Steps such as masking using tape and the whole cleaning the masking solution is not as easy because it hardened once i paint it over.
To day this is my 4th build and I decided to document all the steps I took from raw prints to prepping the surface until weathering. hope this motivates you to make cool props!
