Lich King's Helmet (Life Size) - WOW

----2025.6.7 Optimise the profile, remove all error messages, adjust layout and some supports.

----2025.2.11 QuickFix of the print profile. Increased support at the eye socket to reduce the risk of being knocked over while printing.

----2024.12.11 Update two version of helmet stand: Arthas version, Sylvanas version

----2024.11.29 QuickFix of the print profile. Increase the infill density of nose and cheekbones area  up to 40% to make sure they don't break.

----2024.11.27 Update

Fine-tuned the slot looseness of the 2 parts on the lower front (disc 2 and disc 3) to be slightly looser than before, making it easier to remove, but you still need to be careful and slow to remove them, the cheekbone area is more fragile. Don't worry if you are printing with an old profile, the old one will still work fine, just slightly tighter. The old and new parts can be used interchangeably.

I've reworked almost the entire helmet to optimise it for wear, and the more I look at it, the more I like it, so I've made a little video for it that pays homage to a World of Warcraft Classic.

About Size:

The helmet size is referenced according to the total width on both sides of the ears, with a default width of 182mm, which you can measure on your own according to the measurement positions on the picture. With this wearable width helmet, the print volume has almost reached the limit of Bambu's existing printers, and unfortunately, the A1mini will not be able to print directly due to the small print volume.

There is a long stick in the print profile that can be scaled to your facial dimensions, tick uniform scale and adjust the X axis width of the long stick first, then copy the scale to all parts. Generally, this size is enough for the vast majority of people to wear, and it cannot be scaled up any further due to print volume limitations, so unless your head is much smaller than the preset or you're making it for kids or pet, it's not recommended to change the size.

About Print Profile:

• All parts are pre-supported and ready to print, almost no support is superfluous. Some of the slots have overhangs, so if you are concerned, you can manually add supports in those areas. In my test, there is a small chance that some slots where the top surface of the inner measurements will be unflat due to the overhang collapsing when using petg, I recommend just cleaning it up with a knife, it only have very little effect on the assembly.
• There are two ways to place the gems on plate 6, horizontal and vertical, the difference is only the layer pattern, you can choose the one you like.
• The eye effect parts of the plate 6 are optional and can be left out, cutting about 2 hours off the printing time.

About Assembly:

• Please see the attached instructions for detailed assembly.
• Due to the different shrinkage rate of different filaments, you need to decide whether you need glue or not according to the actual situation. in my test, no glue is needed when using pla or petg, the prints are assembled directly and they are very solid, like a real helmet.
• The gap in assembly has been designed to be hidden as much as possible. After assembly, it should be no more than 1mm.
• Usually, the whole assembly process does not need to use a lot of force, all the slot ports are optimised for size, no cutting, sanding, please avoid using too much force to cause damage to the parts, it may just be that the angle of the slots are not aligned. There is only one place where you need to use little more force, please see the instruction manual.

This model took a lot of effort to make and test, so if you managed to become the Lich King, please follow me and give me a like, thank you! And I have many more interesting designs to release in the future!
