Problem: i have helmet and want headlight on it, i bought original adapter and wanted to glue it on top with supplied tape … didnt work. So i wanted to more robust solution.
Printing:
- upside down
- 5 perimeters
- 2mm shell
- i chosen ASA, ABS would be also great
- if you dont want to glue it with slurry (bellow), i suppose even PETG would be fine
BIM
- DeltaPlus ONYX 2
- Fenix ALG-03 V2.0
- 12x heatset insert M3x3…diameter (4.2)
- 12x M3x6 bold - ideally with flat head
- thread glue (optional)
- ASA/ABS slurry (optional)
Assembly:
- Dissasemble helmet by poping off “ear plates” (pry off with screwdriver) DO NOT DESTROY
- remove White shell from rest of hemet
- pop out both front clips for holding headlamp band YOU CAN TOSS THEM
- each clip should leade 3 holes
- clean holes of all yellow stuff, leave only white shell material (shell is from ABS )
Adapter assembly:
- put inside all headset inserts as deep as it goes
- all should be under surface
- please note that all inserts are on oposite side for more durability
if you want to also glue it: (more contact more better, also dustproof)
- prepare slurry 1:4 where 10g ASA + 40g acetone
- put it in clossed glass and leave overnight ideally
- use single use brushes ( i bought in bult small 8mm or so flat with wooden handle of aliexpress)
- total of 50g of stuff should be more than enough
Adapter helmet assembly:
- clean helmet shell where you will be working (IPA, or other alcohol)
- spread slurry on back of adapter (okay i skipped this originally)
- put adapter on right place, apply thread glue, to screw and fasten from inside
- be sure to have bolts stick out as little as possible
- take slurry and coat heads of bolts so they are completly covered (so there is no chance heads would scratch visor)
- coat outside from all angles, fill any gaps, fill thread holes and so on (LEAVE CENTER HOLES CLEAN)
- coat multiple times and let it harden
- you can sand it, paint it.. or not, your call
adapter to adapter assembly:
- just fasten these 6 bolts with some little thread glue
- hovever you can't use slurry for gluing, since it is from nylon
- maybe epoxy on superglue would work?
- aseemble helmet back
- check if visor is not rubbing againts bolts
