3D model description

An articulated Action Figure with superhero proportions.

This highly articulated figure features a muscular physique with a realistic anatomy so it can be used for various custom figures or for reference for drawings.

Features:
The figure features 28 points of articulation with pinless joints.
The figure fits within average 1:12 scale figures but can be scaled up to 1:6 scale witout a problem.
The figure comes with interchangeable hands and will feature FREE upgrade parts as I make further improvements to it.

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS to avoid unnecessary problems.

The parts have all been inspected with Meshmixer and are all manifold and watertight, but Lychee slicer tends to give warning about holes in some parts of the figure. If you get a warning, simply click "Repair 3D model" and you'll be good to go.

Assembly instructions:
When assembling the figure, please heat up the parts before joining them to avoid breaking and/or tearing. Some parts are small and thin and might break if you force them together without heating them up beforehand.
Various resins behave in different ways and your exposure settings also factor in. Overexposing your resing will make the parts more difficult to fit together. If that is the case, you can sand the parts a bit before joining them.

Example: when snapping elbow joint with biceps, heat up the biceps with a hair dryer or by soaking the part for about 30 seconds in hot water and then gently push the elbow joint in. When the pieces have snapped together, hold the joint until the resin has cooled off and settled tightly around the joint. Do not move the joint before the resin has had time to settle completely.

For easier assembly, I recommend you hollow out the torso, abdomen and thighs before printing with wall thickness of at least 1.5mm for a 1:12 scale figure.
If you plan on printing larger, I recommend you increase the wall thickness for added sturdiness.

The figure durability will greatly depend on the type and quality of resin you use. I suggest using a higher quality resin such as ABS like so that printed parts will have more strength.
The parts have the greatest resistance to breaking or tearing if you use a mix of ABS like resin with a flexible resin in 80:20 ratio.

If you find the joints too tight, feel free to lubricate them using silicone oil, machine oil or even regular motor oil :D
A small drop will be enough to lubricate the joints without making them loose.

Disclamer:
The files do not come with supports or proper orientation for 3D printing.

Conditions:
You cannot mass produce and sell the 3D printed object.
You cannot resell, distribute, reward or gift digital 3D models created with the help of the files sold in this post on online marketplace stores, 3D print stores for digital models, other online stores for digital 3D models, Patreon, Kickstarter, or any other public or private chats, groups on any social media platforms or in any other way.

Not recommended for children. The figure contains small parts that are choking hazards.
