Mattel The Child 11-inch Plush hollow Skeleton and Flat feet by rkxone

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is a simple remix that hollows out the Childe V2 body, this cuts a few hours off the print and allows more room to put in electronics and speakers etc. I left the walls nice and thick for the armatures (a simple bend inside will secure them to the frame and still allow free movement) and structural strength. Yet brings the print time down from 10 hours down to about 6 (.30 layer, 65mm/s with support and 20% fill)
I also flattened the feet for a simpler print needing very minimal support (none works fine) just for the toenails ;) . Assembly went well I did not have 3mm armature wire and used household wiring stripped down, I would recommend leaving the plastic coating on the wire and widening the holes for a tight fit if you go that route, it worked fine for the arms but the legs need to be a super tight fit to keep him upright. since I did not have this I put glue into the leg holes and put the wire into that and it is working ok. You can also glue the legs to the frame for a permanent fit, if you do this you will need to slice open the bottom and stretch the material around the base then glue direct. it works as is.

Added one last frame version 4.5
This version I made the walls thinner (now 3mm) and removed the switch location and flattenned the top as well as making a bottom cutout, this saves another hour of printing bringing it down to 5 hours. This is also the pinned version if that's the route you want to go to secure the legs (you can use both)
I am testing this print out now and will adjust the pin size based on how it comes out in 5 hours.
I also have tested out the shorter legs and prefer this size, I am leaving all 3 sets as it gives more use options.
Removed the v3 legs, the new v4 legs all are backwards compatible no need to confuse things.
Update February-04-2021
Added a new v4 pinned version, this puts holes in the frame for pins and holes in the legs to attach those pins to, there is no tolerance for the pins, I left them on their own so you can scale x,y,z to best fit for you or sand the pins for a perfect friction fit (or glue).
added shorter legs (both normal v3 version and the new v4 pinned version (these legs are all 5 mm shorter)
Added a 3rd set of legs that are even even shorter (This is as low as I feel they can get without being weird) I just wanted to drop his height a bit more, and again it saves a good amount of print time.
Grogu's ball is here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4749339 I remixed my own scaled version to this figure
A good frog to use: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:24500 scaled to 160mm length. (I did mine at 120mm but I would say its too small at that)
Enjoy! If you enjoy my prints or remixes please consider donating, even a dollar helps :)
