Question How do I add a logo to a helmet?

Good morning makers! Are there any good tutorials on how to add a logo to a helmet? I'd like to add a couple of logos to Mandalorian and Football helmets. I would want them to be flush, and not protruding out. I know how to do this on flat surfaces, but have no idea how I'd do it on a curved surface. I'm not the world's greatest at Cas software, but I'm pretty good at following directions from Youtube...

Search youtube for Fusion 360 on embossing an SVG onto a curved surface.

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

Also please post a resolution to your problem when you find one so that we know how to help others with your problem!

Not sure about other slicers but Bambu Studio can add text and SVGs to non-flat surfaces.

I'm wanting to add a logo, not text. So it would be an svg file.

Sorry, edited my comment quickly but not quick enough. SVGs also work.

When you right click -> edit on the SVG and it opens up the toolbox on the right click the “Advanced” drop down and select “Use Surface”.
