MDD redesign of Driftgirl's 3D Printable Ball Jointed Doll

thingiverse

Hi. I recently completed a total overhaul of: Driftgirl's 3D Printable Ball Jointed Doll posted by sarf2k4. I also incorporated arms from 7Fish's doll, glasses from ViFlexGlasses, and hair from 7Fish's other doll. This redesign began in late 2018 and was finished sometime in 2019 but never shared publicly. Personally, I think kasca's "Kasca-style 52cm 1/3 magnet joint doll" might be superior, but at the time of this redesign, it hadn't been posted yet. I created this redesign because I previously saw [the most adorable looking doll by Dolchu on Flickr](https://flic.kr/p/yCipCD). I attempted to recreate it using my limited artistic skills and Driftgirl's doll as a base. It didn't turn out exactly as I envisioned, but oh well! Later, I added an option for 22mm eyes from the Volks store or elsewhere, as well as an option to add 3D printed hair and glasses if you prefer not to make a wig. The hair may need to be glued in place since I didn't put much effort into it. I tried to position each file optimally for printing, although the glasses might require some adjusting should you choose to print them. To assemble the doll properly, you'll need some elastics and thick wire (garden wire). These are used to keep the torso and head attached to each other and upright, as well as keep the arms together and in position. I suggest using 3-4 wires together for a firmer hold or as many as you can fit. Some of the joint connections are loose fits. Use sellotape to adjust the fit to your liking. The last few files are stamps I experimented with to create the eyebrows on the face-up. Unfortunately, my 3D printer wasn't accurate enough to capture the details needed, but I imagine if you have a resin printer, it might work for you. The clothes seen in the pictures were mostly made from socks. The hat (crochet) and skirt were made by my mother. The hair was created using acrylic yarn, brushing them, and ironing them straight. You can probably make a wig by attaching wig tresses to a sock with glue or sewing them in place. You can choose to use the "printed eyes" set or the 22mm set for the head. For the "printed eyes" set, you'll likely need to draw on the eyes or print some off and glue them on. These were made before I got some 22mm eyes, so it might take some work to get them looking good. I made a spreadsheet of the list of changes I made to the doll to get it to this point. It can be seen here. I also created a spreadsheet of the print times for some of the parts so you can estimate how long it could take using the same settings I used.
