Puppet-head base - version 91 - toon dragon
Comments
@Tioh Sounds right on size. I'm still experimenting and 150% was the largest I could go without having to chop the head into smaller pieces. I was thinking about cutting a couple places on the snout for mesh to see out of and trim the internal base/plates as needed to fit a head. But it's only a theory if that'd work. I'd like to try wearing it normally if possible but time and testing will tell.
Thanks for your swift response and feedback!
@Ketters I guess you want to use the head on top of your head - that'll work. This head base was not designed to be worn as a normal fursuit head - the eyes are too far apart to see out of them. 150% seems small (I have a small head and would rescale it to at least 175% for fursuit size).
The baseplate is already to-scale (for puppet size). If you scale it up the wall thickness gets thicker - so it should not matter if you print it in other materials (like PLA).
@Tioh I'm scaling this up for a fursuit head and have a couple questions.
Do you still recommend TPU for the larger size? I settled around 150%
Are the eyes you have here already to-scale for the baseplate? https://www.printables.com/model/95920-movable-puppet-eye-and-eyelid/
The head base was printed with TPU, and The base plate for the eye and the eyelids were printed with PLA. The eyes are resin prints. This head base was used to build a puppet for the 2023 Eurofurence Pawpet-Show - the ears were not used.
