Updating the comfort!


So I've been updating the padding and nose area. This is to make it more comfortable as it was digging into the bridge of my nose and my neck.

First of all, i found some really jagged edges under the nose coverings. This is my fault as I initially made the hole so that my own nose wasnt squashed against the fiberglass. (I did that the same time i cut holes through to the nostrils so I can actually breathe through it!)

Here's how it looks at the moment

 Just plain felt over the fiberglass..


Then i found this jagged sharp edge under the felt (ouch!)


Ive also had it really tight and rubbing against my neck, so i peeled back the felt to look underneath at potentially trimming it back. Look at that! Its like a blade... it was readily trying to decapitate a Wookiee!



This was how it came from the supplier. So I trimmed that bad boy right down.



And this is my prototype padding. Once i tried it on it was so comfy compared to before. If anything it gives me better Jaw movement as well as I am pressed against it more firmly, but it is now more softly padded.
