[New Files!] The Remastered Realistic Rex is finally here! Added to October Specialist Rewards
Added 2022-10-20 14:23:19 +0000 UTCThis has without a doubt been one of my most complex builds so far but I think you all are going to love it! I spent a lot of time getting the tolerances of each piece just right and figuring out a way to allow the binoculars and rangefinder to work in tandem.
To go over some of the changes to the Realistic Rex model:
- Now includes 2 versions - one based on the Sideshow Realistic Rex sculpt and another based on the Hot Toys version. "HT" will denote Hot Toys unique features
- Added moveable rangefinder
- Added moveable binoculars (HT)
- Added magnet separation of front, back, and dome pieces (including non-magnet versions)
- Added visor ridge and cutout template (including non-visor ridge and non-magnet versions)
- Added Phase 1 Visor Curved version (including non-visor ridge and non-magnet versions)
- Added alternate flashlight ear detail (HT)
- Added 6x3mm magnet holes to rangefinder cap so rangefinder can be removed
- Cut holes for 1/4" diameter wooden dowels through binoculars and rangefinder for more durable movement
- Modified helmet welds for HT/SS accuracy
- Added Jaig Eye and Tube Stripe painting templates
*Note about the binocular and rangefinder* - the rangefinder must be lifted and rotated to move downwards. The binoculars must be in the "upwards" position for the rangefinder to move "downwards" and vice versa - the rangefinder cannot move "down" if the binoculars are already "down"
I think that's all the changes covered! I really hope you guys enjoy the helmet as it took a lot of work to get all the differences, details, and mechanics of the helmet to work well. Thank you for your continued support!

2023-01-28 14:56:09 +0000 UTCguessing you've figured it out by now - but just in case - open all the files you want in Meshmixer (ex: Dome, Back, Front) then in the 'object browser' window, select all 3 files, when you do this you get a little popup for actions & one is called 'Combine' - do this & then go to 'File->Export' (Not ExportSVG) & the default file type will be STL. Which you can then import your new file into your favorite slicer (Cura?) & you're set. Personally though I wouldn't print this entire helmet at once even if your printer is big enough. If it fails late in the print, it's a lot more wasted filament. But whatever you decide, HAVE FUN!

2023-01-28 14:55:15 +0000 UTCOkay so Iām new to all this. I just downloaded meshmixer. Is there any videos or websites that might help explain how to combine them to make one full helmet?

2022-12-04 04:30:29 +0000 UTCI will do what I must

2022-10-20 15:53:41 +0000 UTCThe form is roughly the same so the template should work but you'd need to make some modifications to the ear pieces for the rangefinder

2022-10-20 15:52:06 +0000 UTCSo I already have the base helmet primed at this point. Do you think I might be able to drill out the ear peice for the moveable rangefinder? And I'm assuming the template would fit on the older version? Sorry for the questions I just really don't want to waste this one.
Joey Jones
2022-10-20 15:42:01 +0000 UTCYes! I saw that and wondered if that was the case. I already dropped the HT into Meshmixer and was combining my new highly customized helmet. This is SO awesome. THANK YOU!

2022-10-20 15:14:19 +0000 UTCthere's not a "single" file helmet just because there's a lot of different combos you could pick. They all should be oriented in their default position though so you could load them into a program like meshmixer and combine them to your liking

2022-10-20 15:09:28 +0000 UTCQuick question... I didn't see a full helmet file... did I just miss it in my excitement to print it? :D
