In this video, I'll take you through the entire process of creating a 3D printed Stormtrooper helmet, from start to finish. Whether you're into cosplay, prop making, or 3D printing, this tutorial breaks down every step, including how I printed and assembled the helmet, the sanding and painting process, and even achieved that high gloss finish. I also share tips on common mistakes to avoid, like dealing with imperfections and applying the right clear coat. If you're looking to make your own Stormtrooper helmet or are simply curious about the prop-making process, this video is for you!
