Made this piece as part of replacing the old limbs on my Raanu. Would work quite well as forearms or calves, in theory.
A few things to mention:
I haven't test printed this - please attempt to use it at the risk of the ball sockets exploding (when inserting a ball joint into the sockets) and hurting your eyes. While my previous attempts at ball sockets didn't explode due to bootleg ball joints (thanks, China) I would still advise you to wear eye protection.
The ball sockets might have extreme amount of friction making this piece unpractical at best. I increased the diameter to 10.50mm (which can result in loose socket, if you are an advanced 3D printer user and have everything setup to print with accuracy of a micron) to help with that.
Big doubt on the axle holes not being too tight, let alone work.
The pinhole should in theory work. The part might be wide enough to fit two of the pins from both sides, but big doubt on that too.
If you had noticed, this piece might be a complete disaster or a godsent piece for all of Bionicle's 3D printing community.
Hopefully this won't be a waste of plastic for whoever prints this, and they share their success with me. I will make couple more pieces for Raanu soonTM, once I get more time for modelling.
