Articulated MWO Hunchback (Remix)

This is a Re-Mixed Hunchback, Leaning on parts of the base from Wolfking. It's poseable, articulates, and needs no glue to hold together. I've changed over the connection scheme to using pins, and a ball socket design, along with a few other tweaks to get the parts to be a bit more printable.

Print List:

1 Upper Arm, 1 Upper Arm Mirrored

1 Lower Arm, 1 Lower Arm Mirrored

2 Arm Pins

7 Split Joints

Optional - 1 Split Joint Installation Tool. This makes putting in the little split joints much easier, but a 7mm wrench can be subsituted if desired.

Printing Instructions -

The joints probably should be PETG as they are designed to flex a little when installed, but the rest of the thing should work fine with PLA. The joints may work in PLA too, but i haven't tested them using it. Use supports, and be careful about orientation when placing the parts on the bed. Also, Note: When printing the split joints, and pins, place the flat face on the side on the bed, as this helps with strength. I also recommend printing at a 0.16mm layer height, to help with a few of the overhangs on the back of the mech, but that can be seasoned to taste.

Assembly Instructions:

To install the split joints, first put each into a hole with the little lugs inside. Then twist about 90 degrees to lock it in place. The expectation is that it fits in fairly tightly, but If the fit is too tight, or too loose, re-print the split joint, changing the scale by 1 or 2 percent. A second tip on fit up is to use a small piece of paper towel wedged between the joint and main body when assembling the split joints, in order to tighten up the locking lugs.  This helps to keep them tight without the use of glue.

Other notes:

I've tested the joints between about 70% and 120%, so scaling the mech a bit up or down shouldn't be a problem.
