After watching a presentation video by Disney software devs, I thought "how hard can it be", but in the end, the joke was on me. Check out the link above for more details.\r\n\r\nIf an STL file is missing, you'll probably need to print it mirrored from the other side.\r\n\r\nI used two differently sized sets of rivets for my bearings and axles, but they're not a tight fit, so I recommend finding a way to reduce play on the bearings. This caused some issues where I had to cheat a bit to get it working and still achieve extreme dramatic poses.\r\n\r\nAt first glance, you might think I posted all the parts, but if something's missing, remind me in the comments and I'll try to dig it up. Since the thing is mostly symmetrical, if you see a left part and not a right one, you can use the same STL file for both sides. I printed it on a mirror as a printbed and made sure all parts facing the viewer were printed flat on the mirror.\r\n\r\nAs far as I recall, I only needed to glue the two parts of the hair; I didn't have to glue the torso because it was held together very tightly when I hammered my "axles" in place.
