In this segment of the video, the creator discusses building a helmet inspired by Cyberpunk 2077 character Sandayu. The design phase involved reaching out to CD Projekt for reference materials. The creator wanted to make the helmet animatronic for comfort and visual appeal, especially focusing on creating a glowing demon face ornament. They attempted resin printing but faced challenges and expense, yet persisted through numerous attempts, showcasing a dedication to the project.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses challenges faced in resin printing a large piece and how manual resin mixing may have contributed to inconsistent results. They aim to develop a repeatable resin recipe for more consistent prints. The creator then successfully completes a print, ensuring precision by using supports and stiff shapes during curing. They also showcase iterations of a 3D printed helmet design with improved features, such as ventilation holes and ear channels. Finally, the creator plans to adjust the design for better alignment and finish by filling imperfections with resin before polishing.

In this part of the video, the creator works on filling the cavity of a helmet logo with a Milky resin mix for light scattering. They coat the logo with resin, sand and polish the visor to be transparent. After hours of sanding and polishing, they apply a clear coat and LEDs underneath for transparency. The finished product exceeded expectations, but due to rushing, one part became too thin and broke. They proceed with wiring the LEDs into two main channels – white for the logo and red for the rest, using thin micro wires split into 10 groups for intricate wiring.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses finishing the painting of the helmet, adding a metallic coating with an airbrush, and connecting magnets in the jaw area to enable power delivery for lights. They work on finalizing the circuit board and encounter challenges with wireless control impacting the motors. The creator adds finishing touches and recreates a sticker design. Finally, they complete the helmet, showcasing its appearance with the visor down and large mantis blades with integrated controls, although mentioning the challenge of capturing its true look on camera.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses their experience with controlling a new helmet and blades, likening it to learning a new instrument. They mention the snug fit of the helmet and challenges with the neck cover slipping out due to limited space. The creator showcased the helmet at conventions and built a protective enclosure, but the visor split during airline travel. They express disappointment but managed to repair it. The creator appreciates the support from viewers for their slow builds rather than clickbait content.
