3D printing changed cosplay: a helmet or a set of armor can now be printed to the wearer’s head size and finished at home. Here are ten 3D printed cosplay pieces from Etsy shops, from raw DIY kits to fully finished helmets.
Wearable 3D Printed Helmets
SPD Shadow Ranger Helmet
A full-size, fully assembled Shadow Ranger helmet for adults, 3D printed at 1:1 scale.

The Flash Helmet
A wearable, screen-accurate helmet from CW’s The Flash season 6, made to order and fitted to real head measurements.

Godzilla Helmet
A Godzilla helmet sold as a DIY raw print or finished and painted. Both versions need custom padding inside.

Iron Man MK85 DIY Kit
A raw print kit: no sanding, painting or prep has been done, so layer lines are visible. It’s for cosplayers who want to finish the helmet themselves.

Armor, Crowns and Masks
Bo-Katan Mandalorian Armor Kit
Raw, unpainted Mandalorian armor in PLA or PETG: chest and back plates, shoulders, gauntlets, thighs, knees and shins. The helmet is not included.

Props and Display
Iron Man Gauntlet Lamp
A mechanical Iron Man arm in red and silver that works as a lamp, for a display shelf rather than a costume.

Cosplay Helmet Wall Mount
A printed wall mount in three sizes; the 9-inch one fits most helmets, such as Iron Man, Batman and Deadpool.

Raw Kit or Finished Helmet?
A raw kit is cheaper and lets you choose the paint, but expect sanding and priming before it looks like the photos. A finished helmet is ready to wear. Either way, give the shop your head measurements when they ask: a helmet that’s printed to size is far more comfortable than one-size-fits-all.
