For loose joints, you can put superglue into the joints and by moving them, you don't allow the parts to bond with each other thus making a thin layer of dry glue that will tighten the joint

@pixelponyo-_- Год назад

Or use nail polish it works to and it dont bond

@michipeka9973 2 года назад

In "Gunpla" models, for most of the articulations they typically use a combination of a regular hard plastic part (often a ball) inserted into a softer plastic "holder". That's basically how they deal with tolerance and friction. But of course, it means they need to design more parts with a more complicated assembly and engineering.

@johnmarcgreen 2 года назад

I tried printing some action figures with my FDM printer and discovered that small pinched-off pieces of Teflon plumbers tape work really well for adding friction and smoothness in the joints if they are too loose. Sometimes I will place 2-3 pieces on top of a ball before pushing it in place and it goes in easier yet keeps it from getting loose; you can always pop it out and add more if it slides out or compresses also.

@michaelmccarthy579 2 года назад

@mockier 2 года назад

I think going with a very flexible resin will deliver better results than trying a hard resin to try and reduce wear. Because the flexibility should also help reduce wear, and allow for tighter joints.

@evanlindsey1100 2 года назад

This video answered most of my questions about this resin, and raised some concerns. However, I am curious how Mecha would work when mixed with Siraya's Blu resin. Still, there's hope for the possibility of 3d printed articulated action figures.

@benjaminford8173 2 года назад

My thoughts as well, adding a small amount of elasticity should help plenty.

@chindie88 2 года назад

My main aim with 3d printing is to make some custom 1/6th scale figures, and the one thing I've struggled to get a good answer on is the type of resin that has the flexibility to 'pop' things like hands onto wrist pegs. It seems to be the holy grail of resin printing.

@chamoo232 2 года назад

I have seen 3d printing used for custom 1/6 a lot on facebook groups but none I have seen 3d print the bodies. They use bodies sold specifically for customs. They are cheaper than resin. Some with visible articulations but some have metal frames and silicone bodies to hide all the joints. The 3d printing is just used for the outfits, heads and things like that.

@chindie88 2 года назад

@@chamoo232 Yes the body is bought in. But you have issues where, for instance, a figure is wearing gloves with a particular design or needs to have particular hand gestures where you would need to design a set of specific hands, which pop onto a peg at the wrist. That 'give' in the material that lets the joint pop on and off, but still hold firm, is a very, very difficult thing to nail down it seems. You can get around out with heads, using inserts or designing the connection to avoid the need for the pop on and off aspects, but hands (and to a lesser extent, boots) are unavoidable.

@chamoo232 2 года назад

@@chindie88 Maybe a separated socket is a viable solution for hands as well. A small cylinder that you print flat with the peg hole on top. Print it in a flex resin. They are kinda rubbery and would have more grip than regular resin. Then you just need to design the hands with a hole for those inserts to fit in.

@Thanos88888 2 года назад

I've switched to printing with Elegoo ABS Like resin exclusively. It has some flex to it and it's possible that it may be what you're looking for. I haven't tried printing action figures with it, so it's just a suggestion for your tests.

@davidturpin9082 2 года назад

A lot of these modellers are designing with ball and socket joints which would be fine if they were also accounting for a rubber polycap. Printing something that fits together more like a lego hand and lightsaber handle can allow for a sturdier snap fit with a more stable range of articulation than the ball joint. It would take more parts but would be easier to assemble, avoid the ball joint slop and more stable over the long term.

@Bakamoichigei 2 года назад

Designing for polycap-style joints and connections is the way to go. Between the fact that you can literally buy runners of polycaps from companies like Kotobukiya, and we can just _print our own_ with flexible resins available these days, the sky's the limit.

@Voidmonster 2 года назад

My impression is that the Mecha resin is really best for things like gears and joints that don't have to flex (so, like, held together with a screw, but the two parts ride over each other). I kind of expect Blu Mecha, which should be pretty ideal... But you could always mix up some yourself and see! I should get a bottle and experiment, I just haven't found a project I want to make with it.

@HEMASimian 2 года назад

hey, so with the hot water trick, you really should point out that since that water came in contact with resin that's un-cured, it's now contaminated and shouldn't be going back down the drain. Also handling un-cured parts without gloves is unsafe and gives a bad example. Long chain polymers are terrible for the body: they never leave your system, and will often build up into an allergic reaction. Resin allergy is a thing; once you hit a tipping point, it can even affect your respiratory system. Even though the surface has been cleaned, they're cleaned in alcohol solution that has...a lot of uncured resin in it. So it's still on the surface and dangerous to handle until they're cured fully.

@BrinkHouse 2 года назад

He literally says this at 4:50 in the video.

@HEMASimian 2 года назад

@@BrinkHouse ah, I missheard it, my b. Point still stands about that water needing to be safely disposed of now however, since it touched uncured resin. Also not a particular fan of all the handling of the prints without gloves before they're cured. Long polymer chains of resin doesn't leave the body, and developing resin allergies is a tipping point which can affect people significantly. So the lack of safety being demonstrated here is a bit concerning.

People are going to be doing this trick and tossing contaminated water back down the drain which is terrible for the environment unless a warning about that is issued.

@Bakamoichigei 2 года назад

@@HEMASimian A 'raw' print has still already been polymerized by the printing process. Once the uncured resin has been rinsed off of the surface, the danger of exposure is _negligible._ I'd honestly be more worried about exposure to the IPA the print was washed in, than to the print itself. Although some resins remain tacky or have a soft/gummy surface, 'post-cure' is mostly about strengthening the parts. Hell, some resins explicitly tell you _not_ to post-cure them.

@bulletdancestorm554 2 года назад

How about mixing FDM joints with resin for the outside for detail? Hasbro uses a harder plastic (ABS i believe) for big joint pieces (shoulder/hip) but its capped with the softer vinyl. So you have one flexible and one more rigid together in one joint. Zipguy's 3d printable figure uses a TPU cap for the ball joints of the hips/shoulders i believe. His design is all FDM. The tpu piece is there to be replaceable. Action figures are definitely what i wanna print more so thanks for doing the legwork into researching a better resin!

@3DPrintingDoctorWho 2 года назад

Also, even the most flexible resin is still going to have practically zero compression. It’s just an unavoidable fact of life that you can’t create a universal pop-in joint that will function reliably in both PLA and resin, even if you do the hot water trick. Which is why I don’t. Instead, all my action figures take a page from the old G.I. Joe toys of the 1980’s (which managed to have fairly complex articulation despite being made entirely out of hard plastic) and go for a much simpler pin or clamshell approach when it comes to rotational movement. Once you stop fighting resin’s natural inflexibility and learn to just roll with it, articulation becomes a whole lot easier and that super expensive flexible resin can be saved for use as a strengthening agent, or for skinny fragile parts like capes, swords or other weapons.

I suspect the joints are getting loose at 200% because the gaps figured into the model are ALSO scaling up 200%. So if something should have .001mm gap to let it move, it would also double I would think? Maybe you'll have to tweak them a bit to adjust the fit of the parts manually?

have you tried using Siraya Tech Build (smoky Black)3D Printer Resin High-Resolution Non-Brittle Tappable Engineering Resin?

@Phantomick 2 года назад

Gundam models sometimes have loose joints, I would try joint stiffener to help with that issue. Also, can you make some video tutorials for painting the prints?

@househendoe7549 2 года назад

Could a three part Siraya blend work? Like 2 parts Mecha, 1 part Tenacious, and 1 part Build.

It would be awesome to see these in 1:6 scale I just got the Anycubic M3 MAX, and would love to build something like the articulated Sentinel on the left.

Can you do a budget vs budget reason 3D printer like you did with pla 3D printers

@syamsulnizar2114 Год назад

Whats the percentage of tenacious did you add?

@IzFanArt69 2 года назад

how you colouring the figure?

@HoneydewYT Год назад

You should try to make one of the pocket mechs that telco toys make

@henrikandersen4777 2 года назад

is there any guide about what printer for new ppl, mid level cost and if it have to be resin or fdm can do, for bust/figure 20-30cm and helmets. no need to be super quality high ress, (im thinking cost to make also i dont want prices on object same cost as store build) but have to look really great from 1 meter distance. i would also sand and color some of the object.

@adamshields7545 2 года назад

When you mentioned "adding some of the tenacious improved results" makes me wonder if the key isn't adding tenacious to this resin, but rather adding this resin to the Tenacious. Perhaps a 60/40 (Tenacious/Mecha). Playing with those ratios may reduce your chalkiness and give you a bit more of that rigidity you want. I dunno, just some random thoughts.

@evanlindsey1100 2 года назад

I read a review of the Mecha, and adding too much Tenacious doesn't work out too well for the resulting prints. I think it had something to do with the structural integrity of the resin. It just didn't hold together very well.

@sirayatech2 2 года назад

We believe mix here at the end is 75% Fast Mecha 25% Tenacious. You could try lower % but 20% may be too lower.

Don't suppose you'll revisit 3d printed action figures with resione f69 resin would you?

@duncangood3864 2 года назад

I really want one of this lucky printable action figures

@Ryoku1 2 года назад

Roughly what percentage of Tenacious did you add?

@jacobbanks07 2 года назад

Have you tried mixing it with 50% blue? Maybe 25% Blue,25%Tenacious, and 50% Mecha?

@DethSkor 2 года назад

That lucky 13 mold is really good. I don't know anyone with a 3d printer, anyone know if Etsy or a site sells them? Like to paint them

@oyyoboi6716 2 года назад

Ok it sounds dumb but can’t you just brush on some resin on the joints to make the joints a little thicker and then cure them with a ur flash light. Just like keep layering them and curing after.

@jonatandelarosa-marin6414 2 года назад

I was just wondering can you print these action figures on an FDM printer?

@Marcymane Год назад

HOT WATERRRR!!!!

@Merlynn132 2 года назад

Fun fact: A little nail polish can not only tighten joints,but it may also fix your chalking issue.

@TheMindBullets 2 года назад

I'd be curious how it does printing non-articulating models. Is it easier to drill/tap into if you needed to kitbash something?

@UncleJessy 2 года назад

There are some folks on the siraya tech facebook group using it for more mechanical type prints and seems to be working well for them there

@yaqwsx0cz 2 года назад

Look at my blog - I have a review there where I discuss these aspects of the resin.

@evanlindsey1100 2 года назад

Siraya's Build Resin is supposed to be drillable.

@TheMindBullets 2 года назад

@@yaqwsx0cz That was some great information you had. Very helpful!

@alanq64 2 года назад

I wish Elegoo would make a 300x300x400 printer. I'm looking at the Longer LK 5 Pro, but I like my Neptune 2s. Just wish they had a larger print bed option.

@danielqiu7812 2 года назад

I've had success applying polyurethane clear coat to resin pieces with an airbrush. Before coating I can scratch into eSun ABS-like resin with a sharp fingernail, this becomes impossible after coating and allowing the coat(s) to cure. Unfortunately this adds a lot of post-processing and wait time to what's already a tedious process.

@francoisburel4503 2 года назад

Hello mate, thank you for the tip. When do you apply the coat ? Before or after curing ? Thank you in advance
