Jointed Legs Guy

thingiverse

Hips and shoulders snap into position with precision, thanks to clever ball joints that are expertly printed in one go. Each leg is a single, cohesive unit, boasting perfectly formed ankle and knee joints that add realism to the overall design. To achieve this feat, the legs must be printed with the top of the thigh firmly attached to the build plate, while the foot is carefully held aloft by a sturdy support structure. Meanwhile, the arms serve as temporary placeholders until more detailed replacements can be 3D printed and installed. This ambitious project was brought to life using an Ultimaker 2+, a cutting-edge printer that's capable of producing highly intricate models with ease.
