Bio helm electronics / electrical connections to suit
Blue Scorpion posted a topic in Bio Helmets & Armor,
OK assume you have a fresh Bio-helm, you wanna fit Glowing eyes, lasers and an MPU6050 Gyroscopic Head Tracking Unit to it.
1. The helm is going to be used as a seperate helm to the latex head piece, as in it's held on by magnets and you can remove it completely.
So, You're all suited up and you have the controls concealed within the suit - probably touch switches in the gloves or hidden switches elsewhere on the suit,
Question here is -
How do you make all the connections from the suit to the helm just by putting the helm on your head? (There are 8 connectins to be made!) OR.....
Does it all need to be self contained within the helm and wifi/bluetooth controlled? I want the suit to be autonomous and not rely on a handler blinding me with the eyes when I least expect it!
I dont want to appear to be activating eyes / lasers by touching anything, ie touching the left gauntlet computer control panel or fiddling with the helm to make the eyes flash or lasers come on.
I currently have a mask/head that has all these items on it and they (eyes and lasers) are connected via CAT5 cable and RJ45 plug and socket on the inside of the helm, not easy to get to when wearing.I I am working on a new helm that will be just a helm so will need to sort this problem out asap.
Am I asking or expecting too much? I'm sure some of you clever buggers out there must have cracked this by now! Please tell me! or you can PM me if its something REALLY special lol
Cheers guys... Rob.

The sketch "Crash" is hovering over is the the one that became the final concept. He modified the upper palate and removed the extra teeth. As as far as I know, anyway. But.... on the other hand he could've redrawn the whole thing without the extra teeth, but they had limited time to create the Predators for "P2," so I don't think starting over would've been ideal. Unless he's like super fast.

Not sure... It looks like an early version of the one we have seen with full dreds etc.

Has the Sketch that Crash is sitting over ever been shown? Seems like the one we've all seen but also looks like it has more teeth?

That's a good point. They could've used Shellac. You can buy clear shellac or "Amber" Shellac (which would've accented the gold aspects of the helmet). However, Shellac is not water resistant, and scenes involving water probably would've messed with the helmets finish. I dunno.

Thank you sir. I'm glad this place still exists and we are all here to enjoy it. It's a fun corner of the internet. -

Jungle Hunter Bust
Wow! The amount of patience this project must require. Printing molds was a smart trick and I'm sure silicone is a great choice for the dreds. The time you've put into this is well worth it. The level of detail perfectly matches the movie. -

Jungle Hunter Bust
Cann´t believe this thread is almost a year old, but Im now closer than ever to finishing this small but quite tedious proyect 😅. Over the last few months Ive tried many diferent ways to do the dreads, but none really worked so I ended up printing resin molds to cast silicone with and now they are almost done. If anyone is looking to do the same some info that may help is that 3d printing resin is famous for causing cure inhibition to platinum cured silicone , but waiting some time after printing solves the problem, no extra curing, special paint or leaving the prints outside needed, I only had to wait one week after printing with elegoo resin and there was no cure inhibiton at all. In the meantime I wasn´t 100% happy with how the heads came out, specially the open mouth one so I tweaked the sculpts and printed that one as a test. After some paint it´s looking much better now still need to redo this one at some point: Hopefully they are both no longer bold by the end of the year, will post an update as soon as they are finished Also have a p2 and masked head in the works, hopefully early 2024 I can post some updates on those 😅- 1
