Summary

A ~6" Poseable action figure prototype thing.

I have included my Blender file, the original Blender file from Blendswap ( https://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/42769 ) which I have heavily modified, and the stl file all in the zip along with the text file to give attribution to the original artist of the base model.

Post-Printing

I used 0.8 mm clear stretch cord to string the figure together. It was really tricky to get the cord through the shoulder joints. You have to stretch it quite firmly when you tie it off in order to get enough friction in the joints. The legs have one cord each from the ankle to the torso, but the arms needed one going to the shoulder, then one from the shoulder to the torso to allow for better movement.
