I’m trying to print a wearable storm trooper helmet. Is there a way to print the black eye lens part so that I can see out if it?

Hey guys. I’m new to 3d printing. I’m printing a stormtrooper helmet. My printer (Monoprice select mini v2) is small so I’m printing in parts and going to put them together. The white sections are easy enough, but I’m having trouble with how to go about fabricating the black eye parts. I could print them out of abs and smooth with acetone, but then I wouldn;t be able to see out of them. I googled for transparent filaments, but couldn’t find anything that was truly transparent. Also, if possible, I’d like to make it a one-way tint (everything is dark when looking from outside, but everything is relatively transparent from the inside, kinda like sunglasses). Any suggestions? Thanks! http://ift.tt/2zmAFHh
