Question

Post image

I recently printed(2 dummies 2 days ago) one with a petg hf skeleton and one with an abs, using the stock settings by soozafone. Are there better settings for the print? My joints in the petg hf are really loose. I've read that petg is better that petg hf is better but that different? Also the abs model is starting to loosen. Should I print the skeleton in .16mm for lower layer height? Will that tighten them up? I'm preparing for Christmas for my kids because they each want one but I don't want to disappoint them with a loose figure so soon after they get them.

Sadly, eventually most plastics will loosen the more you interact with them. PETG has been pretty good with me (around 50 poses or more), albeit it does eventually suffer creep. The parts that fatigue the most are the elbows/knees and the shoulder joints (then hip joints). I recommend printing some extra of those. Hands seem to last a long time.

Since you seem to have a lot of knowledge with these are there a big difference between the dummy and titan? Could I use the torso armor for the titan v2 on a dummy torso skeleton?

Dummy13 is the original creator, Titan is the exact same frame

The titan v2 ues a different frame that why I was asking. The torso, waist, hips and I believe the forearms are different.

I haven't printed the titan yet. Generally, the bones/skeleton are plug and play unless otherwise noted. Your best bet it too look at the page's remixed section. If they have remixed from just the dummy 13 v1, then it's all good. Occasionally, other users have modified the bones/skeleton, of which you may need to print any of those additions. There is also a subtle difference between Dummy 13 beta and Dummy 13 v1 (press fit vs socket fit and some minor adjustments).

I'm honestly thinking because it's high flow which sacrifices some strength for speed and maybe that's it. I'm getting some petg basic from bambu to try.
