Ойын-сауық
I always see the question on how do I scale my helmets to be 3d printed! Its always scary to 3d print a helmet and it not be sized right. You dont want to waste plastic or time. If you run a 3d printing business people may return if the helmets not sized perfect. In this tutorial I show exactly how to scale your 3d printed helmets to get the perfect size everytime using a free file from an awesome creator by the name of Budwin and here is the link to his file. www.thingiverse.com/thing:488...

For those who want the math to be simplified to make this quicker: Take your circumference and divide it by the default helmet circumference. The example in this video: 24 divided by 22 = 1.091 which is 109.1%

For those who might be wondering what "Axis Short" and "Axis Long" are on the head models, "Axis Short" is the length between the left and right side of the head in inches. And "Axis Long" is the length from the Parietal Bone to the ridge of the eyebrow if you measured it in a straight line.
I wish this video gets much more attention. It's really helpful 💯

This is a great video series. I am designing an HMC using a scanned mannequin head (had to scale it up to match my head circumference of 23.5in. Ended up going to 24") but the head files will be extremely helpful. I also made sure to leave a 4.75mm space between the inside of the helmet for the padding (the padding will be 1/2in thick)

I personally like using Armorsmith because it's for the entire body. but this is a great free way to scale if you just want the helmet. Also if you're trying to line up multiple parts, just do it off of the build plate in Cura. That way they can float where ever you put them and they won't snap to the build plate.

You could also measure around your head and in cura you can see how big the inside of the helmet is, so you can snap scale it. Also armorsmith is really good if you want to fit a whole suit. I usually eyeball the helmets but don't eyeball a full suit (from experience).

What I would do is get the circumference of the head in three areas. One around the neck, one around the ears and nose, and one around the jawline and the top of the head. Divide all of the measurements by pii and focus on sizing the head to fit the inner chamber of the helmet. Add a 1/4 of an inch for padding and that's how I did it. That or invest in calipers. Also use a fabric measuring tape.
