Sith Action Figure 3D print model

A Sith Action Figure.

This is an action figure of a female Sith. The figure is very detailed and full of different surface textures. I've also sculpted in her Sith tattoos for easier painting and trust me, she will really come alive with a good paint job :) She comes with two lightsabers: a hilt and an ignited lightsaber.

Features: The figure features 30 points of articulation with pinless joints. Yes, even her horns are articulated on a ball joint so they can be finelly adjusted when posing the figure.

The figure fits within average 1:12 scale figures but can be scaled up to 1:6 scale witout a problem.

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS to avoid unnecessary problems.

The parts have all been inspected with Meshmixer and are all manifold and watertight.

Assembly instructions:

The tassels that attach to her diaper are as thin as I was comfortable making them. They will be fragile if you print them with a regular resin, but shouldn't be too delicate to handle the figure. Your best option for printing them will be to use a resin with more flexibility.

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. If you find pin type joints to be slightly too thick to insert into hands or feet so please sand them down a bit. They should slide in tightly but without using force.

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 and cool down completely.

For easier assembly, I recommend you hollow out the torso, abdomen and thighs before printing with wall thickness of at least 1.2mm 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.

Ball joints and some hinge joints have a higher chance of wearing down or being a bit loose so I have included different sizes for you to test which size gives you the best stability and joint tightness.

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.
