3D Models for Printing?

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I've uploaded a custom but that's because I've been busy developing a new line of toys! The prototypes all work perfectly but I need to be able to replicate the results. I've touched base with 3D modelers / printers but they primarily work in technical fields like architecture and aren't well versed in human anatomy or action figures. I've reached out to 3D gurus on Instagram but I either get immediate "No" or crickets. So I've returned home...to the 'Realm.

I need a 3D modeller. Nothing fancy but there are specifications. No textures, no details, no "character". I'm talking mannequin-level basic. It just needs to fit together in a specific way. If anyone has experience 3D modeling / printing action figures (or can get me in touch with someone who does) please DM me. This will not be a waste of your time.

I've tried to find someone for a similar gig with similar results. The people who are good enough to sculpt good figures, good portraits, etc. tend to want salary gigs at a studio or simply launch a patreon. They also tend to get weird about how you use the models. You pay them to make a model and then they're like, "Whoa there, not so fast, you can't use my model for anything unless you pay me an extra $1000!"

And yeah, being good at sculpting a figure doesn't mean they're good at making functional joints, and vice versa.

I've been messing around with 3d printed joints and I print parts for figures in resin. ( UndergroundJunkHole.etsy.com )

I may not be able to design an elaborate joint from scratch, but I can tell you how likely it is to break in a customer's hands lol

I have made some simple joints though - https://www.reddit.com/r/McFarlaneFigur ... rwoman_3d/
