Servo clearance problem on the helmet, here is how we fixed it
We were in the middle of mounting the servo for the Iron Man faceplate motorization when we hit a clearance problem. The helmet was designed before the new servo kit was designed.
So, to make it work for the night we used a soldering iron to carefully melt away the plastic that was in the way. It took a few passes to get enough clearance without compromising the mask. Not elegant, but the servo is now seated and the faceplate mechanism can actually move.
This is going to be a recurring theme on this build. We are scaling a suit down to kid sized that was originally designed for adults. Sometimes we will need to get hacky to make it all fit.
The lesson here is to not get frustrated, think creatively about solutions, and move forward with what you learned. DIY and build projects don't always go according to plan, so it's important to be flexible.
What projects have you done where things didn't go according to plan? Did you give up or find a solution?
