I'm the other anon who was replying earlier with that diagram.
>>10030349I suggested this exactly. Both the modeler doing the articulation and the anon who's hired him and is calling the shots both sound like they just need to handle, disassemble, and just understand action figure joints more. All these very obvious design flaws in the design/modeling of the joints would not even be an issue then.
>>10030595There aren't really any limitations as to what can be 3D printed now. People are regularly printing super high quality, super articulated figures on very cheap printers. One of the Elegoo, Phrozen, or Anycubic printer models (most between $200-400) will do just fine. You've mentioned many times how things are hard to print, too fragile, too complex, etc but that's not the case at all. If you can design it, you can print it. Just need to have the know-how, and printers/the printing process have become super simple these days.
