First custom helmet is here :)
With the Mando S03 trailer coming out and everyone doing the same Mando helmets I was hoping to try and mix it up a bit by creating the first of many Mysterymakers Custom Mandalorian helmet designs.
To test out concept art I used the AI for generating some concept design images, and then I placed my own spin on the suggested prompts to create the final concept design. After that I went into creating the 3d model for 3d printing :)
The general idea was to move the rangefinder from the side to the top of the helmet, so you can now insert 4mm leds into those slots and there are cutouts for the wires that go inside the helmet for the power source/switch of your choice :)
The ears on the AI prompt were always messy and random, so I created something that would fit nicely with the rest of the helmet.
The shape flow is inspired by a gladiator helmet and our good old "gunslinger" mando :) I figured i'd also use this as a practice run before making a mandalorian helmet.
The ears can be fixed onto the helmet or made removable by using magnets in the cutouts.
Back vent is "carved" into the helmet at an angle so looking from the back you can't see into the helmet but there is air flow.
The shapes are clean and classy, so I hope you'll like this original design :)
I've also added a fully combined version, 2 part splits and 8 part splits as well vizor and non vizor versions combined :)
Wishing you all a nice weekend , and happy printing :)

Reminds me of battle star galactica
amazing idea bro
Great design Marko a roman Cylon ;) Cant wait to get my XL and start one up, hopefully soon. If you want, i can send you some Screenshots from the Game "Star Wars The Old Republic", just to get a few different ideas about Mandalorian Helmets, they dont need all to look like Boba or Din Djarin, there are quite a few awesome designs out there.
sure that would be fantastic :)
I love the idea of AI concepts for designs! We have dozens of standard mando buckets already. Could lalso make for some great crossover ideas. Like Megatron X mando
true :D i do plan to make some stuff like that as well :D
Just when I thought I wouldn't need to print another helmet for a bit.. Then you post this :P
hahah cant have enough helmets :D
It needs a name. Sentinel? Cyclops? Shiva?
it does need a name :D havent decided on it, but could be somethign we can vote on, that would be cool :D
Kinda makes me think of a emperial guard, so mandalorian guard...
yeah , its the style i was aiming for :) so nice catch :D
This is badass! I think it’s going to be my next helmet print!!
cant wait to see it :D
Looks very medieval or roman. Just add a horsehair plume on the top. ;)
haha yeah that would be a nice touch :D
This is the way
this is the way :D
