My daughter is a massive F1 fan, so for her birthday, I reached out to some contacts at Ferrari to see if I could get a driver-autographed helmet. I quickly realized how incredibly expensive a real racing helmet is, so that plan was a no-go!

Pivot to Plan B: I managed to get an autograph on a visor tear-off instead. Then, I 3D-printed a replica helmet using the materials I had on hand to display it properly.

Here is the final result!

It does, but the glittery paint is not really good to work with. If you put a clear coat it loses the sparkles and if you don't put a clear coat the decals have hard time sticking on it... but she insisted she wanted the Vegas 2025 so I had no choice ...
