Dbssound Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 This is my very first build, and first project with a 3D printer. My friend 3-D printed all the parts (28 pieces) and I have done all of the assembly, filling, tons of sanding, and painting (the part is the hardest for me). I have taken everything down to a 2000 grit sand paper we sanded to make it super smooth and will be buffing the paint to get it super glossy. As I wanted to have fun with it I went beyond the painting for the face and rear vents and the grey visor pieces. It may not be screen correct, but I wanted to try to make it special. The vents were all hand cut from a thin piece of plastic. Because it was 3-D printed it didn’t require the ear screws…but I felt it needed them so I countersunk the screws and added them to the build. I know it is not perfect…but I have put in a ton of work. I still have to do the pinstripes on the ears (and I’m realizing I got the angle wrong….not sure if I can pop them off or not), some paint touch ups, and to figure out the lenses, but I am proud of it so.
