Have you tried testing thin pieces of the smallest part of the helm? I'd just keep printing small pieces with the smallest part of them helmet till you can get your head through and anything else that's bulky fill with foam on the inside to make your head comfy. Trial and error.

Did you try getting a 3D scan of your head? It’s very useful for scaling helmets and can be used more than once

You don’t need any tech for a 3D scan, just if your phone is new enough

You’re all good! The test ring will work great too but having a 3D model will let you get even more custom and such.

@upper oriole try watching this. Frank shows how you can get the scale right for helmets by using measurements, he also shows how to do it with test rings, and with a 3d scan of ones head

I came across this the other day, I have not had chance to look into it or test it but thought it might be worth a mention🤷‍♂️

Yeah years ago I remember Uncle Jessy talking about test rings, take a few cross sections and make em like 3-5mm thick, You can legitimately do it any way just turn the helmet in the angles and slice em on a flat plane

@brazen solstice I actually used that for my iron spider helmet. It does work very well.

That's the instruction video on how to use.
