The Death Watch was a Mandalorian splinter group that opposed the pacifist government of Mandalore, led by Duchess Satine Kryze, during the Clone Wars. After failed attempts at taking over Mandalore, they became part of Darth Maul's Shadow Collective, which successfully took control of Mandalore during the war.[1]

SCALE SETTINGS AND OPTIONS:
Default size is set to the dimensions as mentioned on infographic picture (x: 254mm, y: 280mm, z: 336mm (409 mm with rangefinder) with thickness of helmet around 4,5 mm. However, we recommend to check your size of the head and adjust the scale according to it. We recommend to downscale all parts to around 80% (x: 203 mm, y: 224 mm, z 268 mm (328 mm with rangefinder) with thickness of helmet around 3,6 mm. It should be sufficient to for the average head size and there is also some tolerance to attach cushions from the inner side for comfortable wearing.
PRINTER SETTINGS:
As the helmet is quite big and is meant to be post-processed , we recommend a height of layer around from 0.2-0.3 mm on FDM printers. All parts are aligned to printing platform for easy manipulation. For some parts, supports are needed, however most of them are supporting the inner side of helmet, so it won't affect fine visible surface on the outside. For reliable printing, we also recommend to set a brim because of the height of specific parts and their low thickness. It will ensure, that the part won't come of the printing platform during the printing process.
ASSEMBLY:
All parts are described on infographic pictures. They also contain small holes where a small pin (for example piece of filament) can be put for more precise bonding. For best precision, we recommend to print pin.stl part, which fits precisely to those holes.
