Hello! These are all of my 3d printing projects!
Ironman mk 50 Helmet
Ironman mk 50 Helmet
The process in the making of this Ironman helmet was the following:
Finding model: I had to find the model that i liked. I eventually found the one i used off of a free promotion somebody was doing for their company. All of the parts were separate, so all i had to do was measure then print.
Sizing: To get the accurate measurements of my head, i had to use multiple tools like a tape measure, and some 3d printed calipers. I had to get measurements from cheekbone to cheekbone, temple to temple, chin to top of head.
Prep: To prepare all of the parts, i sanded them down until smooth, making sure there are little to no visible 3d printed lines. I began to do this on every part of the helmet.
Prime: After everything was sanded down, it hit it with some paint primer to get it ready for the coats of gold, and red andodized paint from rustoleum. If i still see some valleys, it put on some bondo spot putty to fil the gaps.
Paint & Clearcoat: After all the parts on the helmet are primed and ready to paint, i appl 3 coats of gold finish onto the facemask, then i apply 2 coats of gold on the other parts of the helmet. Then i hit the facemask and lip with a clear coat to secure the paint. After that i grab my red andodized paint and spray it onto the other parts of the helmet, the gold underneath will give it a gold metallic look while still showing off the candy red.

File: For the file i found a bust of popular video game character, Kratos on Thingiverse.com.
Pre-Processing: Before i started the 3D print, i inserted it into the Ultimaker Cura 3D printing and slicing software to just see roughly the amount of PLA that this was going to use, After i saw that if i printed the bust as is, i will be wasting much more plastic on supports then needed. So what i did is i went into Autodesk Mesh mixer, plane cut the bust in half to ensure optimal PLA usage and time conservation.
Printing: I printed the face, then the back of the head while taking the supports off with plastic cutting nippers, the bottom was uneven somehow so i heated a spoon and slightly melted the PLA to smooth it out and make it sit perfectly on a flat surface.
Post-Processing: After the bust was done printing and all the supports were off, i glued the 2 pieces with super glue, i went to adjust it so that it fit perfectly, but the superglue set too fast, making the face and the back of the head uneven. I was frustrated at first but later accepted it. After that i went to my local supepmarket to purchase red, white, and black acrylic paint along with some paint brushes. I then Painted the face using a reference picture from google.
Overall this print was very fun to make and paint, im proud of my work!

1. Selecting and Preparing the Files:
1. Selecting and Preparing the Files:
First, I found a 3D model of Crash Bandicoot online. I made sure to choose the right size for the print and then used the PrusaSlicer program to slice the file for printing.
2. Designing the Aku Aku Holder:
2. Designing the Aku Aku Holder:
I wanted to recreate the effect from the game where Aku Aku floats behind Crash. To achieve this, I designed a custom holder in Fusion 360 that would attach to Crash’s back and extend to where Aku Aku would be.
The holder was designed from scratch to securely connect Crash and Aku Aku, giving the illusion that Aku Aku is floating behind him, just like in the game.
3. Printing Aku Aku:
3. Printing Aku Aku:
For Aku Aku, I found a pre-made STL file of his face on Thingiverse. There were several versions available, but I chose the one I liked best.
I printed Aku Aku separately, ensuring the details came out well.
4. Assembly:
4. Assembly:
After printing the two pieces, I attached the pole to Aku Aku, connecting it to the holder on Crash’s back. This created the floating effect I was aiming for.
5. Gift and Final Result:
5. Gift and Final Result:
The finished model turned out great and made an awesome gift for my sister, who is a big Crash Bandicoot fan. She loved it!

I made this AMLA logo from scratch on fusion 360 ( more about this in the CAD Models section). I used the text feature on CAD and offset the letters, which gave it that sharp look. After i completed the model, i sliced it on prusaslicer and 3d printed it, the print time was not too long and it came out looking pretty solid!
