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
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.
