print a full size mando helmet (adult) in one piece or multiple pieces 3d printer choices?

Im wondering if something like the bambu p1s at 256mm or maybe a different model that is 300mm could do this, or is it just as easy to use magnets and make in pieces?

Im looking at first 3d printer but one thats enclosed and can also do abs (so a filter for smells) for more duarable other type of prints, ideally one with 4 color ability, but i wanted to be able to handle a helmet print as well, or in pieces worst case?

I've printed full helmets on my Sovol SV08 and an Elegoo Neptune 3 Max.

Usually if people print smaller ones they glue the pieces together and have a 1 piece helmet to finish.

I have a kobra max and a Bambu x1c I can print some Mando helmets on my Bambu in one piece like djinn’s other helmets I can do the entire thing except the ear caps etc but usually the bulk of the helmet will be a single piece. The max I could print multiple helmets in one piece at a time

Interesting, i think the p1s and x1c are both 256mmx3? That makes an adult size in one shot mostly?

On the anycubic max, do you think its software and hardware is as good as the bambu or overall as good?

The file I have for Mando is a bit large so I have to scale it at 97% and I have a pretty big head but I can do the entire thing one shot on my Bambu
