Jessy the technique to tighten up ball joints is called Sueding. Its common among ball jointed doll makers. You use moleskin inside the cup part of the ball joint to provide friction, you can buy it with a self adhesive backing. Alternatively you can even use hot glue and spread it around the cup, let it set then insert the ball part and achieve the same result!
This would look stellar if you printed the helmets out of the clear red!
@@iRiselyTech You might get away with using a little bit of poster tac in the joint?
@@iRiselyTech Heck yeah! I remember watching a video a few years back on how to tighten up an old action figure joint but couldnt remember what material they used. I bet it was the moleskin! Thanks for the tip! Going to try both out
@@FSDraconis gah damnit... now I gotta go and do that
Anybody else thinking how awesome fully articulated D&D minis would be?
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
That was my first thought!
I see both the amazing and the horrors immediately. This could be awesome and allow better things as far as actionable poses in combat that fit the 3d terrain like climbing actions. I also see that one player or a group of players trying to be perfectly posed at all times and the hours spent watching that too.
If you could print out a full supply of interchangeable parts for various poses...
*imagines mass army setup for stop action movie...
If you just go to 3.75 inch action figures they are roughly 2x2 the size of a 32mm mini. So you put an action figure on a base that is 2inch by 2inch and double your map size it should work out. 3inch by 3inch for 6 inch figures.
7:10 - An easy way to thicken a joint for a tighter pose on the 200% model is simple enough - thin layers of superglue. Just let it harden on the ball part of the joint before attaching the figure together if you don't want them in a pose permanently. If still loose, apply another thin layer of glue. Works on Gundam kits so it should work here :3
Floor polish is another one I've seen used on Gundam, Transfromers, etc.
I just printed these up the other day and was having this same issue. I’ll have to try the super glue method.
Clear nail polish also works well - at least for FDM printing - which, pro tip, is also good for creating a bit of a seal over the surface before painting, as paint can seep in between layers and spread out below the surface.
I've heard applying a top coat onto the joint can also work but I haven't tried it myself
@@xianfilm Did you by anychance tried it ? im interested in hearing results.
Honestly this combined with the silicone molding techniques is where I think the idea really shines.
A old trick used in the action figure scene to tighten up joints is to use Pledge acrylic floor gloss. It used to be sold under the "Future" line. People in the hobby use it for applying a primer, or clear coats to paint or mixing them to get a semi-glossy color. And as stated, it can be brushed into joints and left to cure, It will give the joint some added friction so the joint is tighter.
A good advice is to print the figures without articulations, and then add kaiyodo revoltech or figma joints (ball joints) that comes in different colors. This would make the process easier for printing and will give the figures a high quality articulation.
May be you can print the articulation (ball joints) yourself?
Very cool to see how far 3d printing tech has come. I'm definitely going to have to try and make some of these whenever I get a resin printer!
Still blows my mind how quick the tech is advancing and the prices keep coming down
Tip: Run the prints under the hot tap right before pulling off the supports. Makes it a lot easier.
This is exactly the sort of thing I want more of from resin 3D printing! Detailed, highly articulated models! I'd design my own, but I'm simply not a skilled enough modeler... 😑
remember when you scale something up the joint relief distance scales up as well! if, for example, the relief distance was 1 mm then scaled up it is 2 mm! which puts it out of tight tolerance. Same thing will happen if scaled down you won't be able to assemble.
That is a cool project! Thank you for the video Uncle Jessy!
Thanks for checking it out! Loving that peacemaker helmet!
I would love to see some more articulating gunpla (gundam) models
If this happens with gunpla that be crazy 👀
I’m all in on resin printing gunpla! I’m learning hard surface modeling for that same reason
I’m currently hunting for files
@@Eldurz bandai may respond by adding more ms joint and diecast metal to compete. Using this for custom armor for mg gunpla frames would be good (could make stuff like resin kits be put out of business)
The first thing I ever resin printed was a articulated head I models for a custom Halo Mege Construx figure. It's kinda the reason I got into resin printing so I love seeing that a community is starting to form around articulated figures :D
Wow! Definitely interested in these. I’d love to learn more about setting up the resin stacking technique for my own characters as well.
Bloody awesome mate can't wait to print these.
OMG the crunch. love it
This technology has a long way to go before action figure manufacturers even in a small scale need to start worrying. However Jesse DeStasio of Glyos and Toypizza has gone on record saying he’s going to be doing 3d printed figures this year to sell.
I really think it depends on the type and quality of figure. Imagine if places like hot toys sold STL files of the grunts, like the storm trooper, and to offset that, put more work into better and more awesome hero figures that you really only would have 1 of anyways.
@@TheAlexdodd its also about the design . i am a designer , so i bought a printer to bring it to reality. but , nowadays everybody buys printer to print models that somebody else made. it has no creativity in it
@@3dman563 I've been painting miniatures other people sculpted for 30 years, so it's quite the surprise to be browsing RUclips today and discover that literal decades of creative output had "no creativity in it". 🙄
This is such a clever idea, I love it!
And checkout those ResinLapse clips 😬
Saw the thumbnail and thought "why is Uncle Jessy playing with casting resin??" it is basically that same purple! Great prints, love those cards, really nice system. Those colored backdrops look SICK!
That is 110% on the to do list for this year!
@@UncleJessy We use Siraya Tech Cast. Work's great! Pain to print as it is REALLY fragile. No vroooom for it, 50mm/min max pull speed I believe!
Fantastic concept, also gotta love tat hobby asmr
This is awesome! Nice prints, man!
Thanks for checking it out!
Always great content!
Really cool prints Uncle Jessy. Just got my Mars 2 Pro and can't wait to try this out.
Heck yeah! Congrats that is a stellar machine!
THANK YOU I have been looking for something like this for *ever*
Very cool, Uncle Jessy! This is very exciting, Nice video, man!
I can’t wait to eventually get to resin printing. Filament is a lot of fun so far but man that’s cool!
I really like this action figure idea with this pre support frames. I design most of the time on my channel anime figures and have sometimes "problems" to arrange my parts. At the moment I stick the parts just together, I think I should also do some research how I can do action figures like the figma's. Thank you for the video, this gave me more ideas how to design/ arrange my own figures XD
I just ordered some. Can’t wait to try these prints out
Those are dope!!!
This is so cool, the dream of any action figure collector
Awesome stuff man! Thank you Jessy!
Nice one Jessica. I have recently purchased a resin 3d printer and I'm looking forward to printing these!
My favorite part of your video is when you show the resin bottle with resin all over it, makes me feel better about my resin covered bottles! ;-)
haha aint no shame in the messy resin game ;) thanks for checking it out man! FYI we need to chat later this year! I need to make some lures
So satisfying ☺️
Just purchased a bunch of them! Awesome!
You can tighten the joints with floor polish. I've used Pledge Floor Gloss on action figure joints that are super loose. Works great, super easy and cheap! Sometimes you might need a couple layers (with drying time in between), but it does the trick. I first heard of the technique on RUclips from other action figure enthusiasts.
Oh wow this is really damn cool 👏👏
This is a much cooler example of resin stacking. I could see doing this for minis on a regular basis.
WOW that is a cool tiny figure!
very cool idea!
I think the problem with 200% scaling is the tolerances between pieces are now doubled. It would take some modifications to keep them as tight as the 100% prints.
Ild love to see this in a robotech mecha theme. Some of the most visually impressive mech suits ever
Amazing !
This is an AMAZING technique. Not for action figures, instead the designer could print posable minis on sprues. That would give us the option to create individual poses for every mini instead of being stuck with the couple poses that the current one piece mini model files come in. This is really an eye opener!
Love this very cool
The stacked models remind me of Kit Cards which were all the rage on r/3dprinting around Christmas 2021. And as a warhammer nerd, i do love me some on-sprue models. Though if a warhammer kit was crunching like at 6:20 I would be very concerned.
I'm kind of tempted to pass these around as little gifts at like halloween or in birthday cards and stuff
Honestly, I'm thoroughly enthralled with resin stacking, and I can't wait to see more and try it myself. 😁
Whew. Was afraid I was overdoing it with more resin stacking content. I’m also sliiiigjtly obsessed. One more project in mind that I have for it that I want to try and tackle soon
@@UncleJessy I don't think you're overdoing it at all. I can't think of a reason why anyone *shouldn't* use vertical space. 🤷♂️
@@kalosprismatic 🤘🤘
@@kalosprismatic One reason I can think is if there's a defect...the rest will suffer. Still a neat concept though.
THIS IS SICK!!!!! I really want to try this for myself, but...BIGGER!!!
That crackling sound is so satisfying. Kinda like bubble wrap.
I'm new too 3D printing and i find this very entertaining
Awesome video. I use those same dyes. 😃
This makes me very happy! I need to get an Elegoo Mars printer.
Great video, now i gotta go to learn how to do my own gijoes.
I build gunpla model kits and when we have loose joints, we go over the joints with some cement and let it dry so the joint is a bit thicker. You might be able to do the same with resin.
Glad to see that you have found the plastic sprue cutters more useful than first thought.
That is pretty cool
Watching this vid ... and my 5 yr old was watching over my shoulder. Yup ... gotta print them all now =)
I was waiting for this but no one make this
only u found how to make those little cool things!!!
Love your video's, always excited to see a new one up. I'm looking to upgrade from my original anycubic photon. Been looking at something around the size of the Mono x or the Saturn. Any recommendations?
Hey Jessy! These are pretty bad ass. As for the joints. You can tighten them up with a bit of crazy glue. Lol I know this sounds crazy but it works like a charm. Add a lil glue to the joint and keep moving the joint until the glue is dry. This makes the joint tighter. Repeat until you get the desired motion in the joint
Great video! Any concern about trapping uncured resin inside the figure if you assemble it before post-processing?
Oh no, might have to buy these
Peg systems, like Glyos are ideal for joints; some use Lego pins. If you can adapt the joints to a peg, you get more flexibility in printing, replaceability and repairability, as well as interchangeability. Also, you can both wax and / or oil the joints more readily with pegs.
Great video! God bless!
Okay that is some impressive packaging
Hum nice all these contacts points uncured 😍 perfect for health😋
Looks great! Just got my first resinn printer today. Need to setup a full safety process and location to put the printer before i can even think about printing something like this. The inside doesn't cure right? Im worried someone with kids may try printing stuff like this and it gets into the kids hands and eventually mouth.
Dude! These action figures are rad as... Kinda reminds me of Exosquad.
This is a great idea for custom Gundam parts! Time to break out the calipers and fire up Blender.
love the video man, i want to get into resin soon.. but since you talk to elegoo, do you have the skinny on the next FDM printer in the works? lol
Post-cure you can make assembly easier by warming the parts with the female halves of the joints in front of a heater. Just makes the resin slightly softer!
oh man i LOOOOVE that support system........ now to figure out how to do that myself lol
varnish, sticky tack or a little bit of resin there are a lot of ways to fix loose joints, pretty much anyway you can thicken the ball joint or peg will work nicely
As someone who really enjoys 3-D printing games workshops intellectual property is operating because he and he enjoys the game but hates the company I really get a kick out of how many times Uncle Jesse said the word space marine in this video even though they're not technically THAT kind of space marine.
More “space marines” coming up 🤣😂
@@UncleJessy 🤩🤩🤩
Are the ones on the sprue hard to remove or rather when you clip it there's a chance for it to fly off etc being more brittle than your typical plastic sprues.. You can use nail polish to coat the joints .. that's what people generally use for their toys when joints get loose.
Hey Uncle Jessy just wanted to thank you , ive had failure after failure using dozens of flashdrives , all crap......until I used the ones you suggested the SanDisk cruzer. I know I'm not Patreon I apologize for that , but when I need anything I always check with your Amazon listings , someday I hope to support you , but things are not great right now. Anyway thanks for all you do and even us little guys benefit from your awesome videos........thanks again
When my old GIjoe's joints got loose from use, and this was really a LOT easier on the legs, I would use Elmer's glue in the knees and bits of zip lock bags in the hips and shoulders to tighten them up. This did require dismantling the figure, which started a bout of kitbashing with me and my friends. This was back in the 1980s when I was a kid. Today I might still use Elmer's glue and ziplock bag bits, but if the joint ends are that robust you might try BLUE Treadlock and only a small dot of it.
I specified Elmer's glue, although any similar school or craft glue will work as well, because its drying results is a conveniently shaped plastic "wedge" that tightens the joint. If anything goes wrong, like the glue is too filling or strong, it can be removed, but it will require dismantling the joint. This is also why you do NOT use something like Gorilla Glue. It is simply TOO strong. Although if the joints happen to be metal on plastic or metal on metal, you can consider it. I have not tried sealants, like your typical window sealants from a hardware store, but maybe...?
I emphasis "Blue" threadlock because that is the less powerful formulation The RED is designed for use on Car engines and similar heavier metal screws or bolts into metal parts and structures and requires FIRE to melt and release the RED Threadlock. Do not use RED.
Those figures looks so FREAKING GOOD
Update coming soon!
@@UncleJessy now I need to get myself an elegoo mars, just to make dope action figures like these! Plus I need an upgrade from my Orange 10
This could be an ASMR video. Peeling off the supports is SO SATISFYING! Ha ha!
A technique i use to get stiffer joints on models if theyre to loose is simply dabbing a small amount of super glue into it and moving it around so that it doesnt glue em in place. That or i use plastic cement to do the same thing basically.
Nice explain thanks
so would you rather recommend assemble them after or before curing? what type resin was it printed on? does it work with standard resin or ABS-like ones?
Can I ask what is your ratio of flexable resin to normal resin you are using? Also are you hollowing out those pieces prior to printing or are they solid? Great content!
Awesome
This is something I've been working on for a long time. Designing my own and looking at ones to print. I found a fantastic Samus Aran action figure but all the parts are disorganized and named wrong so it was confusing.
definitely needs the siraya tech i printed a larger one without and the joints just snapped like twigs
Reminds me of wondering how to model ball joints and sockets for this sort of thing, the clearances involved and such.
A smear of thin super glue on one half of a joint, and then allow to fully cure before assembly of the joint, will enlarge the ball, or shrink the socket, and will make a joint tighter. PTFE tape is also quite good, and is easy to remove if you use too much...
It’s about time
Had a question about battery backup and what you would recommend to use for that if you have experience with power outages. I live in a dorm style building and have had them shut the power off randomly and even had my mars 3 going when they did it one time and caused my print to fail. Not sure if you have or do use something like this for your printers.
Taking the custom brand color resin idea with the figure stacking plates. Thanks!
Wow always amazing UNCLE JESSY! I want to ask you how I can make the effect that you use when show the entire creation go off the printer in on time.
Is there any other creators that do stuff like this? Would love to see more stuff like this it's very cool
The stacked version looks like some kind of scifi computer chip that an alien would be pulling out of their computer.
Man I envy these 3d printers so much. The shipping to here would be like the same price of the printer itself.
Hi Uncle Jessy, love your videos and respect your knowledge on printers. I wanted to know which printer should i get elegoo saturn 4k, phrozon mini 8k or anycubic mono X6k.
I know very little about 3d printing. Would you be able to tight up the joints with a thin layer of uv resin on the pivots then cure with a uv light?
Very cool prints thanks for sharing. What product do you use to die the color, i am curious
I checked out the mechs and my only thought was what it would take to upscale the mechs to have the larger figures fit the pilot seats.
This is awesome. What mixture did you use? I'm interested in making and printing action figures, but everywhere I ask tells me that resin prints don't work well for action figures.
