Battery Buddy With Raven Wings:

Re-use an old AA battery to make a fun action figure that is compatible with all of the Dummy 13 series hand accessories!

 

This is a cute dummy 13-like figure. It:

✔ Is easy to build

✔ Re-uses an old AA battery to make an articulated figure!

✔ Is extremely flexible

✔ Is great for playing with/using as decoration

 

PRINTING TIPS. I would recommend:

1. Making sure the plate on the printer is clean before use.
2. Using a glue stick to glue the area where the parts will be printed for better adhesion.
3. Using a smooth printing plate. It is easier to use and makes the Dummy 13 much more smooth and satisfying.
4. Using PLA for the frame and armor of the Dummy 13. PETG will just make the joints become loose faster.

To remix this model, I

• changed a connector on the original Battery Buddy by soozafone to have two joints that wings can connect to
• changed the pieces of the Raven Dummy 13 wings so they could attach to the shoulder battery connector with problems 
• changed the settings to make the model print faster, smoother, and in more detail

ASSEMBLY

 

 To assemble the Battery Buddy:

1. Snap the little balls onto the crescent-shaped parts that connect to the battery.
2. Connect the long, skinny lower arms/lower legs pieces to the top thicker, shorter pieces. 
3. Attach the little balls to the end of the pieces that were just made.
4. Connect the hands and feet to the ends.
5. Connect the arms and legs to the crescent-shaped pieces and attach to the AA battery.
6. Put the wings together with the W-shaped connectors (they should print out in the right positions).
7. Attach the wings to the pieces sticking out of the shoulder battery connector.

RE-SCALING

 

To fit other cylindrical items, like a glue stick, measure the object's diameter in mm. Then, divide it by 14, and scale all parts by that amount. For example, a glue stick could be 25mm in diameter, so 25/14 = 1.79 = 179%, so scale all the pieces up by 179%. I would round to the hundredths place. Scaling below 100% may be tricky and result in problems with adhesion and quality, but it is possible.
