I'm starting a new thread for my custom 3D projects so I can showcase them in just one thread from now on.
And since it is Friday the 13th, (ch ch ch ch, ah ah ah) I made JD a mask to go over the standard face.
I might have to print two so I can paint one in Chicago Blackhawk's colors.

Looks Great ! Maybe a cloth tape hinge at the top, on the inside surface and a tiny piece of Velcro to close it will do the job?

Yeah, Velcro is a pretty good idea Ron. I'll try that. I was thinking more like a tiny metal hinge or making a top connector piece. I'll try a few things and post my thoughts of the pros and cons of them when I upload the .stls on ThingiVerse.
It looks really cool with the leds eyes flashing. It makes me want a metallic JD
Cloth medical tape works. I have made some tiny hinges which worked pretty well.
I also used small drops of silicone sealant ( typical is "locktite" brand) to "spot weld" things on surfaces. Just be sure to make the drops small enough to allow the parts to be removed later.

I made a set of numbered EZ-Bit male clip on tabs mostly for those educators out there that might be using numerous robots, you could clip on a number plate to identify robots. You could use multiples of one digit to show a team of robots vs. another, for example robot soccer where all robots on one team are "1's" vs. robots from team "0".
Just something simple I wanted to share. Thingiverse EZ-Bit Numbers
Also, almost finished with the back half of the Cylon helmet....waiting for paint to dry....want to touch!
The JD Cylon helmet is complete and upload on thingiverse.thing:1768945
I did go with the velcro for now, it leaves a gap, but it's not too distracting.
looking good great color.
I thought the EZ-Camera needed jazzed up so I made a Star Wars PitDroid helmet/ez-Bit attachment. It can slid over the camera with male EZ-Bit.
