A basic model that can be coated with mold release (wax, silicone, etc.) and then used to support composite laminates like fiberglass, or kevlar into the general shape of a ballistic/bump mandible. This can also be used as-is for purely cosmetic models (larping, cosplay).

Modeling putties or pastes can be used to make small adjustments before use.

Before printing, take some basic measurements of your helmet and face and make sure the height, width, and depth will be compatible with your needs.

(I have an about average head/face size, and I did compare it with several anatomical models to get a good average.

Be aware, the outer surface, will be the inner surface dimensions for your completed mask.

After your epoxy has fully cured, trace any contours, and sand to final dimensions.

Any protective ability will be completely up to the end user, and the materials they choose to use.

No inherent protective rating is implied, and certainly not in PLA/etc.
