hey everybody adam savage here in my cave with a show-and-tell that is a recent gift from a fan
uh maker jennifer mann came by my cave a at this point a few months ago it actually
i believe it's pre-code time has compressed but jennifer mann is a maker uh and
uh she makes some beautiful objects and she wanted to give one to me and so she brought
it to the cave in this magnificent package and when i turn it around and you see the label here
it might make it clear what this is she even 3d printed a label like a space suit name tag
yeah uh that should give you a hint about what's in here but let's just start by going
holy hell what a presentation for this gift right like this is awesome fabric this is somebody who
clearly thought through this whole thing and wanted to design an experience instead of just
a just a gift and what a gift it is it is one of jennifer's handmade beautiful space helmets
look at this thing look at this beauty uh she makes these using light globes and 3d printed
parts it was a process to put this together there are actually two different instructables jennifer
is a uh she has given back to the community she has written two extensive tutorials and
we'll include links to those instructables uh in the comments below about how to make one of her
gorgeous helmets uh and i'm so happy that first of all it's also super lightweight like 10 year old
me would have killed for something like this this is fabulous it's lightweight it's bulletproof and
well it's got some lighting in it in inside the package once i open it there was a secondary bag
and again i just want to show you like the attention to detail here is she chose this fabric
hold on with a with a pattern in it and then centered the pattern at the bottom of the
right like wow attention to detail uh and then the base was a bag like this which included a battery
and a charger and such for powering this up but it's not as simple as just a set of lights oh no
there are colors on on there we go there are colors oh yeah we got to do this
yep yep yep there we go
yes see there are colors and i can change the colors in here
wait how do i change the colors there we go ah the remo it's line of slate to
the remote control so i can make a green you're looking a little green these days
i can make it blue oh purple purple purple is my life there we go yup
this this is like jennifer makes a lot of costumes that she wears out to parties and to
gatherings and she has constructed this helmet to be uh able to be worn for a long time it's
it's lightness i swear it weighs ounces uh means that you could wear this to a fancy costume party
and you'd be fine all night long which is no small thing when you're designing that looks
really great when you're designing something to be worn yeah um this is a quickie i just
wanted to highlight the wonderful skill and generosity of a fellow maker jennifer mann
i thank you so much for this beautiful for this beautiful addition to my collection
i am delighted to be it's steward for a period of time and thanks for sharing your inspiration
onward and upwards please stay safe and i will see you next time cheers
a couple more things regarding this helmet this right here this relationship of being able to
have this visor come all the way down here and not get scratched by this and be so close in
orientation non-trivial that's not easy to get right uh these 3d printed parts are super solid
and yet super lightweight ah this is this is ideal fancy dress party
kind of cosplay and i'm digging it oh yeah you hear your own voice when you go inside
i don't know what that effect was i was like making a sputnik sound it's just
something off the top of my head
