COMMON ISSUES:

The joints are too tight and won't fit/move at all.
Solution: Try increasing the scale of the models by 0,1 mm at a time. Alternatively you can try sanding down the pegs (but this could weaken the joints).

The joints are too loose, the figure doesn't keep the poses and or falls apart.
Solution: Try decreasing the scale of the models by 0,1 mm at a time. Alternatively you can try to tighten the joints with paper tape .

Tip: Printing the joints with a larger infill value than the other parts could increase the stability and durability of the whole figure.
