1-axis hinge/pivot for posable action figures, figurines, etc.

thingiverse

This object is an essential part of a comprehensive action figure armature, functioning as a 1-axis pivot hinge. Ideal for joints such as elbows, knees, and even fingers in more intricate figurines, it adds remarkable flexibility. It prints effortlessly in PLA at a layer height of 0.1mm. For enhanced structural integrity, consider adding extra shells but maintain a density of 0.2 honeycomb infill, which provides impressive strength (even supporting body weight without crushing). Due to the model's size in Sketchup, scaling down to 1% may be necessary using software like Slic3r or Netfabb for optimal results. The STL files are oriented for printing with the component axes aligned for maximum post-printing strength. This physible is dedicated to my beloved spouse.
