Description
V2 of my original upgrade kit, changes include multi-color optimization (for edge detection), new interlocking mechanism, and better peg tightness.
Also no parts need to be mirrored if you're printing from the 3MF.
I also don't recommend hot gluing anything anymore due to potential damage, and the lack of need for it anymore due to tighter pegs and interlocking mechanism.
Here is the original description:
"I designed this upgrade kit because I was disappointed with how the hands could clearly be seen in Legacy Armada Optimus Prime's truck mode. It uses x8 M3x6mm screws, so a drill with appropriate bits is recommended. I attached pictures and documentation to this post that show how to assemble the pieces. I used PETG for the filament, and 1.75mm filament to connect hinged pieces. If you feel that the truck flap should be attached more securely, I recommend a could dabs of hot glue on the underside of the piece before attaching it to the figure. Easy to remove later, but strong enough to keep it from rotating in place. If you have any questions or concerns please comment them, enjoy!"
