The Blue vents on the side, how did you do them? I see no files to cover that part in the folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no files to cover that part in the folder I believe the file is called Ventback.stl. Back when I got the files (over 3 years ago), Nico had scaled the part incorrectly. And from a recent conversation I had with someone else building this helmet, it hasn't been fixed. When you go to print it, scale it to 200% and duplicate and mirror the file to give you both pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico's files have been updated (I just bought it a few weeks ago) and there is no longer a ventback.stl file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a few conflicting views on the backing of the vents. And it's possible the build process may have changed over the past 7 years since Rogue One. As far as Nico updating his files, do you know if he modified any of the other files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can gather, that's a very real possibility. It seems like the construction process has evolved over time and there's not really any way to confirm. I know a lot of folks do the blue fabric for breathability if nothing else. As far as updated files go, I don't think much has changed. What I have looks almost identical to what's in your build thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I may try and ask someone who has info about the screen used helmets in Kenobi about that backing. If you're interested in updated files, I've actually modified Nico's files to try and get them a bit more accurate, and I'm working on a new build now Here's my new build post: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've gotten confirmation from a reliable source, that the blue material backing the vents in the Kenobi helmets is actually a hard but somewhat flexible "blue urethane material" similar to "tupperware". So maybe injection molded? Just wanted to put that out there for anyone seeking accuracy. Edited August 12, 2023 by TKModder421 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleBen[TK] Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Think I'll go with breathable blue material, venting purposes...helpful with my Hasbro bucket!

Yeah, you'd have to create your own anyway with a Black Series bucket, they've got a different shape.
