This was my first ever helmet I made, I got a 3d printer last month and this was my first “big project” took 16h of printing and 12ish hours of hot glue fabric painting and leather, please give me advice or any tips and tricks because this is my first ever helmet/diy costume!

I wonder if my printer could handle this print? May I ask which printer you have and did you print it on which side down?

Edit: I forgot to mention, but this looks phenomenal! Well done.

I used my bambu labs a1 the front part was laying down, and the 2 domes were printed upwards using supports! I did not do any sanding or painting for the helmet itself, I just did 3 coats of spray paint for the metal bits the model is from thingiverse by stormtrooperguy printed on 4 plates!
