Anime style 1/3 BJD 55cm Doll

thingiverse

Update 26/1/2020: As requested, I have uploaded two alternative feet: one as high-heel feet, one trimmed down to the stander BJD size. Since I am still working on my Master's degree and got no printers around me, I haven't got a chance to test print these files yet. Please let me know if something goes seriously wrong. __________________________________________________ Update 31/10/2019: As many people requested, I have uploaded a new upper body part which has got larger breasts. This version would work better with the thinner body. Since I don't have my printer by me, so I haven't got a chance to test print this part yet, if anything goes wrong with the file, please let me know. Happy printing. ___________________________________________________________ This is 18 points profoundly articulate BJD (Ball Joint Doll), which is ready for FDM printers. With broad range movements, she can easily handle some hard poses such as sit in meditation and squat. Other than feet ( which is oversize when comparing with most dolls from big brands, but they make her stand firm), she is compatible with most 1/3 scale BJD's wig, clothes and accessories. There are two versions of this doll. One contains 18 point of articulation, but the thigh is on a bit ugly side due to joints under the hips and can be floppy. Hence I have uploaded an alternative version which only has 16 point articulation but with better appearance. This version would also allow the doll to sit down a bit naturally. There are also two torso versions: one is thinner than the regular one, which might be handy for some tight fit clothes. This is a big project and can be very challenging, both for printing and post-print process. So be prepared to face issues and challenges. Since many parts are only having a minimal adherent surface and tall, so this project does require a perfect first layer and firm bed adherent. To test your printer, the hands are a good start since they are small and pretty much covered all hard things. I would recommend having a 1kg full roll of material (ideally in skin colour) ready before the start. Some parts also require high precision, so it is a good idea to calibrate your print to the best status if you are not very confident. This doll uses 22 mm eyes which are not included (I don't like the 3d printed eye, too hard to make them looks right), but you can easily find good ones online since it is stander size for Dollfie Dream series. Like all other BJDs, you will need an elastic cord (3~4mm) to link parts together. For this project, I would recommend preparing a 2.5-meter long cord. 1.8~2 meter for body and 0.3~0.5 for arm depends on your preferences. Hands and feet can be connected without S-hook, but I would highly recommend making some S-hook, especially for the hands. This will enable you to take her hands and feet down without redoing the strings all over again, which can be very handy for some clothes. This design was stared with one of my game characters sculpt practice. I used the Z-brush Boolean tool to create joints. The files you have seen are the fifth version. I may make some more improvement if needed. After all, happy printing :D
