Would you like a button hole added to the left cheek hub?
 
If desired a 13mm hole can be placed on the left cheek hub at your request. This button hole is where FurBitten Studios mounts their button for expression changing. The button itself is not included. AT CHECK OUT please be sure to note if you want the button hole. If you do not leave a note then NO button hole will be added. The button hole is at NO additional cost to you and is entirely optional.
 
There is two options available for your base helmet:
 
Half Helmet: Front frame assembly only
 
Full Helmet: Front frame assembly with full helmet backing ( one size fits all)

 
Finish Types
 
Raw Kit:
The raw kit option is bare 3D printed parts with zero post processing whatsoever. Small sanding marks or filler may be seen in your raw kit to correct small surface imperfections.
 
Part Sanding:
This service is the heavy sanding of visible helmet parts only. The jawplate, cheeks, fins (if applicable), and overband. Items that are not typically seen or will be covered will not receive sanding such as the inner helmet areas and helmet backing.
 
The heavy sanding is not a final surface finish but is the removal of the heavier layer lines. If you do not possess sanding tools further refinement by hand will be much easier with this service.
 
Part Sanding w/assembly:
If you want even more help I am offering to not only sand the parts but plastic welding of them as well, providing you with an assembled frame ready for final refinement. 
 
This service included the sanding, welding, and blending of the welds. As with the Part Sanding option, the sanding an weld blending is not a final finish

 
Plastic welding is not the required way to assemble helmets but it is just how FurBitten Studios does it. You may just glue the parts together if you'd like.


 
How to upgrade your DIY kit
 
Step 1: Select your base helmet type and desired finish
Step 2: Select your wanted parts/upgrades via there separate product pages
Primary fins
Inner Cheek Caps
Electronics Frame
Any desired upgraded helmet parts ( overband and/or cheek hubs)
Visor
Step 3: Checkout!

 
Order example:
 
1x base helmet- Full helmet + Part Sanding w/assembly
1x Geared Cheek with Squared Flair fin upgrade
1x Primary Fin- Shape 8
1x Cheek Caps- Blank
1x MAX7219 Electronics Frame
1x Standard Visor- Tinted Fine Cut
 
In this example you would receive a helmet with the standard overband, geared cheeks with squared flair fins, primary fin shape 8 all sanded and welded together. You would NOT receive standard cheeks as well. The upgraded cheeks replace the standard ones from the base helmet. The Helmet backing would be glued together but not permanently attached to the front frame assembly. This is to allow you easier access to the front frame for final finishing and painting before the helmet backing is put on.
 
In the box would be the full helmet base with the cheek caps, electronics frame, Hardware bag and visor individually wrapped for shipping.
