Firstly, funny enough, coming to the tech area the first thread I saw was a guy saying this wasn't tech support. While I understand his frustration I have no where else to go for this matter. I am in the process of making a cosplay of an NCR ranger. I'm making the chest piece, have bought a duster and am making the simpler parts. But my road block is the helmet (yes I'm getting to the point) my deadline is Saturday and I'm already behind schedule. I was going to do a paper model of the helmet but I've never done that before and following the file instructions I almost fucked up a computer. I am not a very educated computer user, and have hardly a clue about files and doohickies. I've never had the money for my own computer, and I feel I wouldn't use it enough. But then it hit me, the local library has a 3D printer. The site: pepakura had 3D textures of the helmet, I may be wrong but I'm ASSUMING that these are for 3D printing. So here in lies the issue, how do I use files to 3D print? I know I'm asking a lot, hell I may even be in the wrong forum but any help would be appreciated. I know, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just looking for even a hint. Thanks. This means a lot to me

>how do I use files to 3D print
All of the 3D printers I've used a "STL" file, which is basically a model file that tells the printer how to print it
Post a link to the site so we can see if it has the correct file
Also make sure that the libraries printer is large enough, because I know my local libraries is only about as big as a microwave, so you would have to print the helmet in separate pieces then put them together to get the full helmet
It should also be noted that it might be expensive to print something that large, it might actually just be worth while to try to find some old helmets and/or gas masks to put together to make it
Also, there is a board dedicated to cosplay who may be able to help you out more
