New versions of lantern and chin light

I've put a lot of work into getting the ear pieces perfect but the parts I started with like the lantern housing have stayed largely the same thoughout the process.

As I discovered screenshots showing new angles I haven't kept up to date with some parts, namely the chin light and lantern. Some of this wasn't even apparent until I had the lantern housing printed in my hands.
So I decided to put some more work into them.


These are the new versions.

The plug at the back is visibly far larger than I had made it previously. 
The top transparent part was also far wider, with a large radius ridge and a wider angle on the sides, it's also supported by mesh like the front lens.

The peak and top of the housing are also not as high and the front is slightly angled (15 degrees to be exact).

Ep. "Kill the Moon"

Perhaps the lantern needs to be a little wider still, the peak block corners should also have less of a chamfer and the back block has a different angle to the top edge chamfers.
Still work to do apparently, but clearly improved.

Chin Light

The chin light was also not perfect so I changed it, although only minimally.

Rough scraped and sanded parts just after printing, this photo also shows the insert holder for the LEDs. LED collars and 5 mm white LEDs will be fitted later. 

3D print sanded. 
The setting I used didn't create a perfect solid so fill texture is visible even after sanding.
I'll have to use filler and paint this housing before final assembly. Maybe for the best though becasue it has some scuff marks showing a glint of metal in some scenes in the show. That's best to add to a paint surface, not plain plastic which won't fool the eye and just look tacky.

Quick mockup showing what it'll look like. The curve of the base plate turned out to be a perfect fit on the helmet.

The chin light now uses the same lens cut from the weld visor lens material and a securing block behind it. I added LED collars because it's the easiest way to fasten them safely and they can be replaced later if needed.
