joebee[TK] Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Hi all! I’ve been resisting making a build thread… but I’m in trouble with my ears. I’m aiming to go centurian with this new build, and I want to get the angle of the ears right. Take a look at these two photos. The ear wants to sit closer to the trap, based on the helmet’s trim line. Is that position alright? If I want to move it further back I believe I’ll need to cut material from the dome’s overlap as you can see in the second photo. Thoughts? https://imgur.com/a/HnJDuaU#2MXh6xS https://imgur.com/a/HnJDuaU#r9aRg0k Edited 19 hours ago by joebee Quote

The "ideal" ear placement is as seen below, where the screws line up with the rear angle of the trap right above it. Because some armorers design their helmets differently or send them pre-assembled this is not always possible to achieve, but it is suggested that you try to get as close as you can. Note: Top ear screws should ideally be located directly below the rear of the trap. My go to threads for ears Some references of screen helmets, many had gaps Quote
