The file 'Brawler = Fully 3d Printed Action Figure 3D Printer Model' is (zip,stl) file type, size is 161.9MB.
A very fun project! Great for stop-motion, drawing figures, photo posing, fidgeting with the articulations, dressing up, modeling props, etc.
I'm even working on a board game designed around the gimmick of posing two figures engaged in a fistfight - more on that soon.
The culmination of a lot of work. I've always wanted a figure that was:
One thing of note, this project requires two filaments:
I used a cheap, 95a-hardness TPU for most of my testing, which worked great - but the design should work for several TPU types.
For a single figure, will need to print:
Other projects like A.D.A.M., 3d printable bionicle, modibot, etc - they are all fantastic projects (and may fit your use case better) but did not quite fit my wants.
(Though, of course, I've not tried every action figure project out there.)
Brims are recommended, but and a few pieces will require supports (the hands and insertion-hips are the only ones that come to mind). Most everything will print flat, and in an orientation that gives its hinges enough strength.
This design is not perfect - the 'wrist' post on the hands should likely be elongated a few mm to allow for a tighter wrist bend, different filaments may have different friction and thus different ideal tolerances, etc - but the design should give you a great starting place.
I've included:
(The long, short, shortest segments are not for anything in particular - just for you to test with, play with lengthening your people, or use in your own remixes)
I've also worked on a stand (for stop motion and more control of posing) and a magnetic hand system - so follow for those projects as well.
Yeah - like with all my projects, I'm no engineer - but hopefully this works for y'all well as it has worked for me. Thanks!
