Ball Joint Action Figure Test

thingiverse

I finally got around to working on a new 3d print! This one is a test for a ball joint design I was hoping to use for future projects, based loosley on the ones on tinkerplay figures, albiet a bit better on smaller figures. Hence, this dude. He has as much range as a standard tinkerplay character, but all of the source files are available for free! Unfortunately, as much as I'd love for this to be the case, the beautifully rendered 10/10 masterpiece faces have to be put on manually with a sharpie. I wish I could provide files, but alas, we aren't there just yet. In all honesty, this figure is just a test of how all of this fits when printed and assembled, and as such minimal effort was put in to make it look "cool". Feel free to fix that with the provided .blend files, or use the ball joint base files to make your own figures!!! I even provided the ball and socket generator file so you can see how I made it! As for my future projects to use what I learned doing this, there are a distinct lack of actual transforming Transformers figures on thingiverse outside of the stuff made by DaBombDiggity, and this is the first step towards fixing that.
