Thanks, still havent find a way to make it easier to build. A question tho, what makes you feel laborious for this model? An input is highly appreciated to improve the model for next release.
I enjoyed 3d printing this alot. Although I feel as though there is a major weak point in the ball joints that connect to the thighs. They are incredibly easy to twist and accidentally snap off, and I even used ASA filament and they would break easily if too much torque was applied through the legs.
yeah I agree, I also have to print stock especially for that part. It move a lot and have to basically handle pressure of tophalf of the body. But i really want to apply ball joint in that specific part. I know the mechanism i used is far from perfect, but it's the best solution i can came up with at that time. Thank you for your input.

@@aguywithlaptopand3dprinter im looking at printers and i have some modeling experience[40k, custom action figures] ....where is the best place to start?
@@urzmontst.george6314 I think the best way to start is to join a community such as facebook page, since 3d Printing is hard if you start from beginning all by yourself
I was tryna figure out how to make action figures on my own as a hobby for my favourite anime/manga Gintama (as they only have statues for certain animes) and I was searching on TH-cam on how to make one . I decided to see the possibilities of 3D printing the parts one by one and lo and behold I came across your video. I genuinely cannot lie the articulation for this action figure is perfect, it reminds me of the ToyBiz Tobby Maguire Spider Man 1-3 action figure series. This is genuinely well made ,WOW! I wish to understand more regarding this tech . Also I have one serious enquiry , what is the height of this action figure is it 6 inch or 12 inch? Apart from that , you have done an exceptional job with this action figures. It brought back glimpses of nostalgia back to my childhood around the Marvel Legends series and the Tobby Maguire Action figures when buying an action figure actually mattered , now a days they don’t make it as detailed anymore. I have observed that you must have studied engineering and combined it with your passion for action figures and you have done an amazing job! Can’t wait for A.D.A.M.1. If the possibility does arise , I do wish to talk more to you I have so many other ideas to share .
This is just my attempt to reinforce the 3d print action figure joint. I tested a lot of action figure joint from my own model as well as others, and they really tend to loosened up rather quickly. So i came up with this method and it worked really well even with ball joint. I'm not really good with modeling, but I'm really interested the articulation part of an action figure. I know It still can be improved further, and anyone can use my model or part of it for their own project if they want.
This is brilliant! The fact that it works through nuts and bolts should greatly help with tolerance imperfections! Just a question though, so wouldn't it work even better with M2 nuts and bolts as opposed to M3? That way it allows for the nuts to be more hidden and for some thin parts like the wrists to have more printed area making it stronger
Also, would it be possible to scale up (or down) the figure and just use bigger nuts and bolts? Theoretically one could determine how big or small to make it by calculating the percentage variation between sizes of nuts and bolts and use those calculated percentages in cura. Would I be correct in assuming that should work?
tbh, the reason I'm using M3 is because at the time I was designing this model, the M3 nut bolt is the smallest I could find. Though, I'm planning to use the M2 nut on the female version (if I ever finish it). so in the meantime I still using M3. Yes Theoretically it's possible, if you can calculate the appropriate nut bolt size for the scaled version in this model. I really want to find out too, but my hand is full at the moment.
Really impressed with the range of motion from this model but i was only able to download the stl files from MyMiniFactory, all the other links were missing most of the stl files, but it still seems that the parts for the 'upper thigh' are missing, the parts of the legs that connect the thighs to the hip ball joints. I was wondering if you could supply a different link to these parts?
Can you make an action figure for which is very articulated but joints are not complicated ? I am just a kid . Please use metal joints 🙏 One more request, instead of a basic structure, please use a more human like 3d model
By complicated, do you mean when assembling, or are the joints itself is complicated? well, the nut bolt counts as metal, it's more sturdy than the usual 3dprinted joint. This is the closest I can model that resembles a human with articulation. Thank you for the input.
@@aguywithlaptopand3dprinter I mean both . I will not be able to do the melting thing . And by human model I mean take some other model off of the internet and just model the joints 😀 I know i seem pretty miserable asking such stuff but i need help from an experienced elder like you .
oh thats what you mean, the melting thing just my preference to strengthen the layer, if you not confident to do it then please don't. You still can assemble and tighten the joint without melt the layer, it's just my personal preference. To be honest, giving an articulation to a 3d model it's not that simple. You can't just rip a model from somewhere and press "Give articulation" button, and somehow it's all magically worked well. I do download a model but it's for reference purposes, such as scale or proportion. I'm personally more focused on how articulated the model, not how the model looks. So this maybe not the answer you are looking for, but this is the one I can give. hope it can help. cheers.
it's a flathead type nutbolt, with M3x8mm size. try to ask your local store. here is the link where i buy it, try to find it similiar type in your country shopee.co.id/SS-304-Baut-JP-M3x8-Machine-Screw-Stainless-M3-Kepala-Obeng-Bulat-i.299124682.12441551692
Hi. First, thank you for your free model. I want to ask. Since I dont have a 3d printer, i want to print it on local shop. It have some options of layer height, 0.28, 0.2 and 0.12. which one should I choose? Is 0.28 is enough or I should coose 0.12 please excuse my bad english :)
Tried the original size, but some of the parts break very easily ( I think it related to the printing orientation) do you think it is possible to scale up 133% to use m4 bolt set? I think it would be more durable if the size are bigger anyway thanks for the great design!
Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough but I can't find the upper thigh parts, the parts where the ball joints fit into them to go into the hips. I've downloaded and re-downloaded and don't see them anywhere.
Hello, thanks for the model. We are a group of students working on a exoskeleton. We would need your CAO file to work on it Is it possible to get the CAO file ?

Having printed the Resin version I can tell you that the m3 are just fine. m2 would cause hand cramps to assemble.

I think you could scaled up the model to 67% and use m2x6mm bolt as well..
But The high of the model will be decrese to 12,7cm (appx).

Do this one moves better than the first one, or is like the same articulation?
more or less the same articulation point and range.
Do you have the weapons for the figure on thingiverse?

Thank you!
Amazing figure but why are all the parts separated ? Or do you put the rar file in the printer
Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough but I can't find the upper thigh parts, the parts where the ball joints fit into them to go into the hips. I've downloaded and re-downloaded and don't see them anywhere.
