Resin Version of sickofyou's COMBINER WARS Defensor Foot

thingiverse

I printed these on my Elegoo Mars resin printer, deciding that since I'd already done all the prep work, sharing the .stl was a no-brainer. I had hollowed it out in Chitubox to make the walls 3mm, saving some resin in the process. While making tiny holes to avoid suction issues, I didn't add drainage holes initially. Using Elegoo Translucent normal resin allowed me to see the resin floating around inside the hollow areas, so I had to drill into the bottom of the foot to drain out excess goo. Then, I went back and added holes to the bottom of the feet for drainage, as well as a small drainage hole on the socket just in case. The joint base needed only a little sanding before it slid in from the bottom snugly at the top. I used the 17.5 ball but left the 18 in the .stl submitted because I found 175 to be a bit loose, and after applying a couple of drops of super glue using the ball as an applicator, I popped the ball out before it set. I employed medium supports so I included a no_support version as well. As resins differ, your mileage may vary – but they work great for me. I plugged the original "feet" into the back of Silverbolt's hands and used them as mounts for Air Raid and Skydive's weapons for extra storage and firepower. (See 3rd picture.) And of course, a glamour shot to show how he stacks up with the rest of the gang. (See 4th picture.) Many thanks to the designer.
