14 DAY TRIAL // 3D printing, as far as mere mortals are concerned, doesn't have that many practical applications. But that doesn't really matter when you can use the technology to create your very own working Iron Man mask.
Ryan Brooks really wants to be Iron Man, in fact he may want it more than Tony Stark himself. He spent about 100 hours designing, building and finishing up the helmet.
But the end result more than makes up for it, if you're an Iron Man geek at least. The helmet looks remarkably like the real thing, well, the imaginary thing that it's based on, the Iron Man Mark III suit, despite not being made out of iron, that is.
The eyes light and it even opens up automatically if you tilt your head in a particular way, just watch the video to see it in action. The second video has some details on the build process.
