Flexi Dragon Stronger Joints

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

My Nephews loved the original, but the hinges broke. There is more material in the tab outside the pin.
The second revision to the body was to taper the tail.
The third revision started out to tighten of the clearance. The neck tended to flop to the side. I made a new joint that is a ball and socket. The intent for for his head to be able to turn. I think the print layers make it hard but it does tilt front to back without much effort to break loose. It is also stiffer so it can hold the position. It is possible to get to turn. Be warned it then becomes loose again. Maybe only do this to the top one. After breaking loose to tilt front to back, work that a bit. Next put some rotational load on it while rocking back and forth.
