@requiem yeah, the lenses are always the complicated part.

@thegibson if I had to do it over, I’d probably do the modeling myself around a standard goggle lens (my tank goggles are sooooo close!).

@thegibson what did you do for your mando lid?

thegibson, 11 months ago

@requiem command straps. And a welding mask from harbor freight.

requiem, 11 months ago

@thegibson oooh welding mask… 🤔🤔🤔

thegibson, 11 months ago

@requiem cheap and good!

@thegibson that’s the title of my autobiography

@requiem @thegibson is it one of those auto darkening ones, though?

Those are nifty.

requiem, 11 months ago

@maddiefuzz I have one of those for actual welding, but I also have some old manual masks that might work (although probably gas lenses because arc are too dark to see unless your staring into the sun…) @thegibson

@maddiefuzz @thegibson there I fixed it

@requiem @maddiefuzz ace.

@thegibson @requiem @maddiefuzz My friend (who likes to make hoods and masks and stuff) uses the visor plastic found on motorcycle helmets.

thegibson, 11 months ago

@requiem Mando stuff is easier... trace the T, and use some velcro... gives the visor some depth...

Real different on trooper visors.

requiem, 11 months ago

@thegibson Velcro is an interesting idea tho…

Yeah it could just be a rectangle of smoked acrylic behind the facemask if it had been designed that way, but unfortunately there’s very little flat surface to purchase on back there.

We’ve traced a pattern and done some test fits with paper so now I just have to digitize that and then undigitize it back in acrylic 🤣
