I hope it inspires you to make something!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made this as part of another model that I was working on. I needed fully articulating legs and couldn't find anything I really liked. The complete model is going to be uploaded soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, this part of the model I wanted to release as public domain so anyone can have it!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have had a lot of fun with this one. This is the vertical orientation of the model. I am considering doing a horizontal one if someone is looking for something with a little more toughness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey hold their weight at 100% scale and then about 50-100 grams depending on the shape you have them in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI print them at 200 micron (.2mm) layer height with 3 perimeters. Infill does not matter.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is recommended to use a brim, I use 3mm with a .15mm separation gap.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have printed them with Silk and Matte PLA, as well as standard PLA. All work great. I went through many test prints trying to get them to snap fit without breaking. PETG will work a lot better, but I understand not everyone can print PETG so my focus was PLA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI hope you have fun, and be sure to share what you create!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cboostme\u003e\u003cboosttitle\u003eBoost Me\u003c\/boosttitle\u003e\u003cboostcontent\u003eI hope you loved this model!
