Ball Jointed Doll 3D print model

I bought this to see how a BJD body would print out like. I had to scale it up significantly to even get a small print, but it was OK. My only criticisms would be that the wall thickness should be thicker and the head should have a removable top for more efficient stringing.

I love the body proportions enough to make this a positive review. Luckily I planned on using a different head, because the head size/shape isn't so great. The thickness of the print walls left a little to be desired, but this does mean that she'll be lighter in the end, and I can always add a little structure with some paint-on UV resin if I feel it's too soft. The biggest drawback to the design is the odd choice to not have a hole going all the way through the knees. I ended up having to drill a hole through each to run the elastics through. There were little crossbars inside that I removed, so I guess you were supposed to use a different piece of elastic for the lower legs? There were a few other "attachment points" inside the doll, all of which I ended up removing because they would have just been in the way of the elastic, and didn't offer any particular structural advantages. It's a challenge, and I do enjoy a challenge. There was an odd print error with the left calve, where it didn't print a slice of it. I ended up just filling it with more resin by hand and sanding it smooth. I don't have the elastic yet, but I think after the modifications, it should string together nicely and pose decently. I'm opting for magnetically attached hands/feet, but the included ones aren't bad at all. Overall, I love the body shape. Most BJDs end up with super skinny waists and chest, with weirdly sized breasts. I wanted a "hefty, sassy" shape, and this nails it. And for the price, I feel it's well worth overcoming it's shortcomings. But. We'll see where the chips fall when it's all done. I printed at a 40cm height. I would have liked the author to have included the base size to make scaling a bit easier, but with the included full-body stl I was able to figure it out to suit my need.
