I know everyone is joking but I genuinely want to know. I have these exact 2 prints sat waiting to sand but I'm anxious to know how much of my life I'm going to lose
I feel like I and everyone else only hand sands their 3d prints and that's that. Can we get the same/better results faster using some cheap electric sanding wheel or similar device? Wouldn't it save a ton of time and energy?
Invest in a black and decker mouse sander for $50, saves so much time. Hand sanding is reduced to fine detail spots. You can find third party sanding pads for it from 100-800 grit (B&D only makes 80-220 if I recall)
you know what's worse? Applying the last layer of bondo on the sanded helmet, let it dry on the sun and come back later to realise that the helmet has melted and deformed in a couple of places. But I feel you, took me almost 2 weeks to finish my helmet as well

I saw a video a couple weeks ago that blew my mind. Dude was just brushing on leftover resin. Did a light sanding afterwards then a filler primer and wet sand again. But it looked much easier then what I just endured with my iron man mask. I haven't painted yet cause I dont know if I wanna go traditional colors or not.

I wonder how long he spend sanding these. Hey op how long did you spend sanding these
Spent spend sanding the long of how?
If you were going to sand these about how long would it take?
Well, no time at all, since they’re already sanded.
If I were going sand them, how long should I plan for it to take me to complete the task?
Improves your karate skills too.

Looks like it was the right amount of sanding. Those look great!
Between 0 and yes

"How drunk are you?"
Amazing helmets. Where did you get the visor for Mando helmet?
It was a tinted face shield from Amazon
How long did you spend sanding those.

Nifty.

In my best Don Adams impersonation.... I ASKED you not to ASK me that!
let's say, hypothetically, you decided to sand those. about how long would it take?
How many times could you listen to American Pie in the time it took to sand these?
At least once.
If it's ABS: A few days
So how does that work exactly. Do people just leave their printers running unattended overnight? Do you pause and resume?
Over the span of a week, how much would you say you weren’t sanding?
can you please tell me how you sand it and with what? thanks

Say if I were to sand these for you how long do you think it would take ?
Look into a filament called PVB. Can smooth it better than sanding with isopropyl alcohol. Fairly cheap on Amazon too.
What material did you use to make these?
Ok, but how long did you spend printing them?
How long did you spend rubbing these with abrasive materials?
You missed a spot. Lol. Jk. These are great. Now dirty up the mando helmet
I don't like sand
This can go one of two ways:
Ok….I can work with those limitations

Nice job 👍🏾
How sand did you spend longing these?
what kind of paint did you use?
What do you use to paint them? Because I printed them but they came badly
No need, i already know: yes
Should have just used some Bondo glazing putty
Still need to sand the bondo.
Very cool!!! Maybe make the Dovakin helmet next?
Spiderman is next
They look awesome
These are amazing, I'm afraid to start sanding and painting those but want to so badly.
I won’t ask you as long as you don’t ask me
I wonder how long it took him to get it smooth like that
I neeeeeeed that Mando in my life
long enough
Considerably more time than I’m willing to.
I use uv resin to smooth my prints one afternoon later its as smooth as can be
Wow!!
How long did you spend post-processing these?
I'm jealous. I've been wanting to print both of these but can't bring bring myself to do it.
Was it more than 10 hours but less than 15?
These are majestic.
I don't have to, because it's obviously just enough time to make those helmets look like polished metal.
Right: long time
How sanding did it take to long these?
The colors are spot-on. Wonderful work overall!
....sand
How long did it take to prep for paint? /s
I hate questions about sanding things. It is course, rough and irritating.
Damn dude, good job.
Those would look great at a
If you convert time to bananas, how many bananas did you use to sand these? asking for a friend
Can you share the file for the ironman helmet?
I fucking hate sanding with a burning passion
Did you sand the inside as well?
you know what's worse? Applying the last layer of bondo on the sanded helmet, let it dry on the sun and come back later to realise that the helmet has melted and deformed in a couple of places. But I feel you, took me almost 2 weeks to finish my helmet as well
Long enough to refer to them as "preciouses's".
No matter how long you have spent sanding you spray the primer coat and realise you have a whole lot more to do!
As someone who printed a Loki helmet for Halloween, I see you and I applaud you.
Starting my mandalorian helmet now. Hope it looks like yours 😅
Some say he's still sanding them right now.
I’ve only ever made two helmets, and it’s these exact two, so I know EXACTLY how long you spent on sanding lol. Great work!
Looks awesome!
I have a mk3 helmet on my desk, hours….. you spent hours and hours and hours
How long did you spend with each grit of sand paper?
Care to share the STL ? Looking awesome
How long did you spend rubbing these using paper with abrasives stuck to it?
How long did it take you to sand these
What did you use to sand these?
However long it took, they were worth it
I'd never ask.......but what if I had a Warmachine mask...about how long will that take to sand?
As someone who absolutely hates sanding, I really need to know.
What do you sand it with?
lol I'm sure you spent a long time on it. Worth it though! They look great.
It was worth it.
It was worth it. They look amazing 👌
Props to you. I see so many people who don't seem to understand that sanding is a crucial progress. They just paint it and it looks like shit.
Hmmmm?
OP said it took him 4 hours to sand these.. Which I dont believe..
You can use an epoxy product like SmoothOn XTC to apply over a print surface and it almost eliminates the need for sanding.
I'm about to find out. I just set up my station and I'm bout to get this party started.
How not long did you not spend not printing these?
“Friday, analyze how long it took to sand this suit” “on it, boss”
So... You sand those?
So how long did you spend sanding these?
Yet i can still see the layer lin- nvm its just my forehead reflection on the screen
Beautiful work, I can’t even see layer lines
Hey internet, don't do this thing.
Two very well looking prints you got
How far did you go to make these?
One question: How you print a helmet which fits perfectly on your head?
did you go up to 3000 grit then buff and spit polish?
Okay not going to ask but say I printed those and then say I found some sandpaper how long do you think it would take me to sand those?

I’m working on a helmet myself and I’d like to know the process you want through to get it this clean.
What paints did you use for the Mando? I just printed - about to begin sanding and painting.
I saw a video a couple weeks ago that blew my mind. Dude was just brushing on leftover resin. Did a light sanding afterwards then a filler primer and wet sand again.
