So glad I found this video. I am on my second Mandalorian kit. My new custom helmet fits my head to the "T", so there is hardly any space for a fan. I compared the dimensions of this model to the one in my Boba Fett helmet, and they are even smaller. There is a good chance there might be just enough space...ordered them right away. Battery-wise, I am using right now a conventional 4 AAA battery pack. However, I have the option to connect it to a USB power bank.

Oh this is perfect! I never even thought about adding a fan system. I'll have to try this once my helmet is complete.

I'm currently working on my first cosplay (Death Trooper) this will be very helpful, thank you!

Really useful video. Thank you

I think i would rather use velcro so i could display the my helmet when im not using it

I'm currently building a biker scout helmet. I have fitted a turbo-style blower fan to the back and made a tunnel using Eva foam to direct the outflow to the rear vents on the back of the helmet. This causes the air to flow in via the ear vents and the bottom. Of the helmet. Hoping this will cause a reasonable flow of air to allow me to wear my glasses without them constantly steaming up.

very interesting!! im actually gettin a tv head cosplay and ive heard the horror stories 🫢 installing two fans 😅

you can use thinner wre

Very interesting and something I was unsure of trying to do but will now give this a go ,a great economical idea,thanks for sharing.

Hey there! Great video :) I bought the fan you suggested for a mask I'm working on. I can't find the same portable charger you recommended and have tried a couple of mine I'd previously used at cons to keep LED light strips running for a full day. After 2 minutes of using them with the fan, they respectively cut out. Is this a problem you've encountered? Any advice for alternative portable chargers I can try and what sort of runtime to expect for this sort of setup? Thanks!

so I live in USA Arizona, and therefore hot glue is not really an option. do you have any alternative suggestions?

Is it better to have fans blowing in or out? the way my "helmet" is gonna be, the jaw moves and opens. so fresh air can come in that way. the fan is gonna be just above that, kinda hidden on its own lil shelf. should it be pulling air out of the helmet thats comes in from the mouth and outside? or helping push air in from the sorta 2nd opening above the mouth one?

which size fan do you recommend for helmets with visors similar to the scout helmet? 40 or 80mm?

I will try this on my Power Rangers Helmet as soon as everything arrives. The power supply is sadly not available here in Germany but ill find another solution for that.

I use lipo 4s battery packs alot power not that heavy.
