2024 Low Poly Dragon Helmet

Features

The horns can detach by removing the screws that hold them in place by using the included 2mm allen key.

This helmet, with horns removed, easily fits into a carry-on suitcase and is good for travel. I’ve done that for attending Nordic Fuzz Con!

The materials are weather resistant, so rain is not an issue! (It makes a good rain hat, actually, speking from experience).

The entire head can be split in half by removing the velcro attaching the eye covers and by removing the four screws that hold the two halves together. The headband is also removable.

The green/purple iridescent veil is attached with velcro.

Materials Used

The white material is 3D printed PLA, and the black horns are ABS. The inner headband is ABS.

All screws are M3 and go into brass threaded inserts.

The eye covers are made of antipill fleece.

Care

This model is made mainly of 3D-printed PLA and can’t tolerate temperatures above 50C (122F). Do not store in a hot car for extended periods of time or else the model may deform.

The screws used are easy to cross thread and strip, so do not apply excessive force when assembling. Tighten until the parts are firmly attached to each other and don’t wobble.

Standard super glue (CA glue) works well for most repairs.

Caveats and Issues

I am not a fursuit maker, so the sewing, velcro, and overall best practices may not be up to the highest standard. This is an experimental art piece rather than a piece of durable cosplay, so keep that in mind.

The interior headband was sized for my large egg-shaped head. It should fit most people, but there is no guarantee that it can accommodate everyone.

There is no padding inside of the helmet, so for long-duration usage the addition of adhesive padding is recommended.

For best face coverage, a balaclava is recommended.
