"Blue light is a signal to keep you awake.." Titan pilots:

My man's living in the future, he recorded this in 2026

I like that you showed us how it looked lit up on the inside.

Guys I have a 2 room apartment. Of course it would be easier with a table saw/band saw/CNC machine/laser engraver. For those of us who have little in way of room and resources, I want to show you that it can be done with very little

That titan fall reference at 12:06 cracked me up man. Nice helmet too!

"I'm using polycarb, mostly because of my lifestyle choices" lmao subbed

this man is in this project for 6 years or more, he chooses the right product in 2020 and after years of research and development, he finally makes the final project in 2026, huge respect my man bdw we here in 2099 have this one in the museum as a piece of an art collection.

That time stamp. Mans living in the future

I totally came here for the physics, i'm now disappointed. good job though. that's pretty epic.

I love how absolutely nobody is mentioning the fact that the hammer broke instead of the visor.. that says something about how effective the visor truly is

Him: Oh yeah, Oh no *Kool-Aid man shows up* Kool-Aid man: OH YEAH

PC can go in the oven around 350*F to heat up, making it a little easier than playing with a heat gun. Also, a band saw with a fine tooth blade will cut PC very nicely if you have access to one. Great project and love the idea!!

i like the honesty in this guy in the end he says "if your gonna do army guy things" like its unlikely but there are some people who would like too!!

I plan on getting a 3D printer in the future and making sci-fi helmets would be what I’d use it for. Visors are an interesting component, many ways to make them. I will definitely keep this one in mind.

To save a TON of time cutting the main rectangle try using the score and snap technique. Couple passes with an xacto blade, then bend it along the edge of a table. The snap is a little scary the first time, but it's WAY FASTER, and a lot cleaner

Would love to see more cosplay videos like this, whether it's tutorials or just showcases of your creations. Great work.

Another great way to cut lexan or plexi, is nylon string. Take a hacksaw frame and string it with nylon kite string or something similar. Pull the tension on the string pretty tight and make a small starting notch on the edge. You are actually cutting with friction, so the longer you make your stokes, the better. Makes a much cleaner cut.

I see the thumbnail and I think, "This would be great for my motorcycle helmet." First thing you say in the description shoots that down. Thanks a lot, dad...

This is fantastic work. One thing: put a film of clear plastic on the inside so you don’t end up with a face full of shrapnel in the event of an impact from a hammer or falling over.

A couple of pro-tips for ya that I hope will help out in the future: You can cut acrylic perfectly with a skill/hand or a table saw. You just need a 40T blade for a hand saw, 80T on a table saw. On your edges: since you have quite a few angles and directional changes scraping them with an acrylic edge scraper will be difficult, you can "flame polish" them so that they're completely clear. It'll improve the look once you add LED's. For the hexagon pattern: you can absolutely use a ruler to get your lines on there without having to hand trace every line. If you happen to have access to a vinyl cutter (Cameo/Cricut) you can print out the pattern, lay it on the visor and then use one of 2 methods to etch it. 1. Media blast it with a soda blaster or sand blaster. 2. Use acetone to chemically etch the acrylic. Both will provide a super clean look.

Here from Imgur too! Super useful tutorial, I will be using it in Sombra, Symmetra and Brigitte pieces, thank you!

Thanks for sharing: very nice trick! And the "Ooh yeah" part make me ROTFL!

That's aweeome, i'm working on a visor and that ideia will come handy but with a few adaptations i'll engrave only the side edges of the visor, giving it a HUD aspect and keeping the view clean, since i'll be using the visor to protect my eyes from dust and bugs while cycling... Your project inspired me, one more subscriber granted

Lmao I love how he starts talking about his friend that he didn't talk to since college

I'm currently 3D printing my odst armor and lineing the interior with kevlar with AR 500 steel for the chest and back. I can appreciate the time it takes to custom make anything.

one way to avoid the bubbling with polycarb is to dry it out in an oven. keep the temp below low (120-ish deg) and the moisture in the material will evaporate out. then when you heat it up to temp to form the bubbles wont form. its the moisture in the material expanding that makes it, not air. Still have to be careful not to burn the material (separate issue of having direct heat too close). You may be able to use an oven to form instead of a heat gun. if you get a piece of metal you can flex into the shape you want you can have the plastic drape mold over (kinda like vacuum forming w/o the vacuum). Acrylic will form easier because Poly cools super fast you have almost no working time with it. either way your right on the money with alcohol (or warm soapy water) to clean it. No Windex (or other amonia based cleaners. it can cause the plastic (both poly and acrylic) to spiderweb.

A cross between Reach's Commando Helmet and Cooper's Visor from Titanfall 2, nice.

That visor is awesome! I'll have to try this method sometime.

Very nice! I was thinking about doing this to a spare visor and putting it on my motorcycle helmet.

The bird feeder is an aircraft carrier --?! Big whopping laugh! Awesome!

Ready to take the info here and start on my Jack Cooper cosplay.

Found this whilst looking how to vacuum mould carbonfibre and Kevlar into a helmet, literally saved me the next step

i loved!!!! when you put the camera in the camera case and made it sound like entering a MECH

looks so futuristic

I use a jigsaw with a plastic bit for cutting. Heck of a lot easier, but you have to go slow otherwise it melts/rejoins behind the cut. Cooling the plastic and bit with some cold water helps.

Alright kids, are you ready for thrills, chills and kills?

Thank you. I've been looking for a decent TF2 helmet to build to house my personal assistant, and I think this one takes the win for that.

Hoping I can use this method for my spartan armor! I plan to put 2-way gold (preferably a reflective orange) foil behind it and use yellow or orange lights. I really want to avoid the whole "Skii goggle visor" look, and I think this will work perfectly!

Thank you This will help my completely custom foam super armor

REALLY LIKE YOUR STYLE.. KEEP GOING KEEP GROWING AND KEEP THE GREAT WORK.

A tip if you want it go faster to cut, have something like a work table with a small gap, so you can have a very fine toothed jigsaw. It will burn much less. To form it, find something rounded that is ovensafe and put it in the oven at 120-150C until it slowly starts to mold itself around the rounded object.

AMAZING WORK BUDDY...

Thanks for all the explaination i really appreciate and gonna try it very soon ..

woooow I am very happy to see how you did it man you did it right and it is very coooooollll comgrats

Might be fun to try this again, but with a pantograph tracing jig for your dremmel tool and a ball nosed diamont bur. That way you can trace the pattern in one go without having to transfer the hexagrid to the acryllic. And the ball nosed burr might give you a better surface finish.

PERFECT GUIDE!! Thank you so much!!

Hey man, this was extremely interesting. Well done.

0:26 Time travel confirmed!

I love this dude .. well done !

Awesome, glad to have found your channel

When forming it helps to just place it in the oven on top of some wood. The link provides at what temp for specific thermoplastic. Visor looks good, you did a good job.

That's awesome, great job 👏🏼

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

thanks man idk what i will ever do with this knowledge but very informative have a like and a comment and full length viewing to boost you up in recommended... not that this video needs it of all of yours lmao good luck in the future!

for cutting straight lines for the rectangle on the polycarb score the lines 3 or 4 times with a sharp box cutter then snap it against a table edge

Laser engraving and heat forming on a frame will give you a better effect. You should use your oven to heat the material uniformly to avoid mistakes and bubbles from popping up.

I just got it in my recommendations.. And I like it. Iam thinking of doing it with my Snapmaker 2...

Great video Asylum

i just added this to my diy playlist

Awesome tutorial

"I know what you animals are here to see" killed me

Great idea to do on My motorcycle helmet thanks! Thats creativity

Just to emphasize, if your planning on going to an airsoft field with a mask/visor attached to a custom helmet use polycarbonate. It outlasts a sturdy hammer strike as proven in 13:50

You can cut this stuff on a table saw with a panel blade, or a jig saw or even a coping saw. I would use the Router head on the Dremel with your engraving bit to get a consistent depth of your carving. Awesome work though!

Lowe's and Home Depot sell a lexan/polycarbonate cutter that works real well

I was looking for the reactions of the time but it seems like you went from 2026 to 2020. Dude you are traveling in time

Found you through imgur

sooooo cool, i love it

I think once you get to the point that you can comfortably wrap the visor around the bowl, you should clamp it to the bowl in order to continue to warm it while it holds its own position

This is awesome

Very cool!

Nice work, gives me ideas........

Very cool 👍

Nice video my dude

That's pretty cool

back in the day i did the same thing to some eye lenses for my gasmask....its a grate look but since you see out i did an extra step you may want to try on round 2 if you do....take a wood burner and follow the etchings ...or better yet use it as the etch tool...you get clear etches that you can see much better threw and light on the edges of it still give amazing glow in the etchings...just a fun tip :)

ok so ill post this as to help folks save tons of time. In my Industry we use clear face shields for cutting and grinding the ones we use are made by 3M but other companies make them as well. They can be purchased at most hardware stores or safety equipment stores fairly cheaply and are flexible already but if you want with a little heat can be shaped a bit more and much easier and will hold their shape. They are ANSI approved "American National Standards Institute" witch means they are basically the same thing you find in most helmets or safety applications. The hex pattern can be made on a Cricut with clear transfer and then just applied to the lens much easier than carving. hope the info helps.

good job, pilot

Hey dude. What I'd recommend for transferring the pattern, there's two options. You can use a vinyl cutter to cut "mesh" out of clear vinyl, or the cheaper way would be to use heat transfer stencil paper.

Thor: "That's not a Hammer! THIS IS A HAMMER!" throws Mjolnir at you.

Excellent Narrative

If you had a form template, you could use the oven set on a low temp. Just be careful with the time it's in the oven.

To save yourself time, do this with vacuum forming.. would be a much longer initial process, but would be easier, and quickly repeatable. Making the mold ( or "buck" as it's called would be most time consuming, but once finished, every visor would only take seconds, to a minute or 2.

3:12 I have the same exact cup. That's cool

This video and the hilarious albeit unfortunate sacrifice of your hammer is enough to subscribe..nice work my dude.

if you have a piece to form/ mold the shape to you can put your material in the oven at 200.- 250for a couple of minutes then with gloves on take the poly out and push it to your mold/form. You may have to increase the temperature slightly. But its easier to increase temperature or time in oven than to over heat the material.. But overall it's a cool visor And if you use red LEDs it will have less effect on your night vision

i actually made it and i love it

Just a couple of things having worked with polycarbonate building museum displays, most hardware stores have a plexiglass cutter, that can be used on Polycarbonate, you just have to make the groove deeper. You can also us the cutter to scratch the lines. As for forming, it's easy enough to make a form to bend the polycarbonate around. It can be made of a variety of materials, depending if you plan to reuse it. I'd advise not to put the whole polycarbonate pattern in an oven, as it can end up being a little wonky. The heat gun is the way to go!

I know working with our hand and fabbing is awesome and the poly is a way to go. someone like you would really get in to 3d printing like I am starting to learn. check out the Ender 3 V2 printer. can print clear things.

Noble team helmet with titanfall pilot style visor. I like what I see

that Titanfall reference f*****g got me lmao

Nice content 🖤

Great video, thanks.

How does the material do with more angular bending? (ODST visor)

Great project! Good job! Did you make some kind of "body armor" to go with it for your cosplay? I was wondering if LED strip lighting would work instead of using LED bulbs? I've seen a lot of projects on YT that use them.

Looks awesome..good job. For the pattern a plotter would be faster and easier.

Great video! Side note, if you use polycarbonate, laser won't work, it just burns brown.
