That's the easy bit done :-)
had the annual visit with my accountant yesterday. she has way more good ideas than I do.
So she reckons find someone who already does craft shows and fairs and let them sell widgert and things for you.
So that's one thing I'm going to try.

You're missing the point of printbite. You don't have to bugger about bending the plate. once it's cooled down - the print is no longer stuck, at all. Tpu sticks to pretty much anything and just peels off - so that's probably the worst test you could possibly do.
If they can show me printed polycarbonate sticking to something and then easily releasing - that I'd be impressed with.

So plans for the helmet.
File the joins as flat as possible, glue. Then run round the seams with the printing pen and sand flat. Should give a reasonably seamless finish. Currently about to print a couple mini helmets to play with.
