Stop Motion Rig System

I recommend to print the parts with 100% infill since they have to withstand a lot of force for holding tight whatever you are animating. I printed these with a 0.8mm nozzle at 0.4 layer height and they work perfectly thanks to the added roughness. The "clamps" are best printed with the flat side facing and up adding a little support. The ball joints are reinforced with an M2 screw and can withstand a lot of forces with no problem. I recommend printing these with 4 or 5 perimeters for better bed adhesion and its better to print more that one at a time to allow the plastic to cool between layers. Hardware: M2x20 bolts and nuts: 2 per articulation. M6x25 bolts and nuts: 1 per articulation Standard metal straw or 5mm iner diameter tubes.

You can use some cyanoacrylate glue for added strength. This would look great with golden straws and a black filament.
