Murderbot assembly video

Finally printed and assembled all the parts of the Murderbot helmet – and it looks awesome!

Just a quick heads-up for anyone printing it:
Even though it's designed to fit a 585mm head circumference, I highly recommend scaling it up by 1–3% to give your ears some breathing room. Trust me, your future self will thank you.

Other than that, the parts fit together perfectly – super satisfying snap!

For the mesh visor:
In the video, I glued it in place, but I actually suggest using double-sided tape instead. That way, you can easily swap it out for a different mesh or style whenever you feel like changing things up.

Happy printing, fellow bot builders!

Just about to assemble mine. What size magnets did you use?

measuring my print with calipers the holes are juuuust over 8mm diameter and 1.5mm deep. I think 7mmx1mm is the safest bet for a seamless fit, because 8x2mm would cause the parts to space out from one another by approx 1mm.
