Product Description
v1.3 - 11/27/14
Figure has a new, better looking torso cut that also allows for a better movement range.
Knee joint improvements: Knee joint movement range is a lot better than the previous ~90 degree range.
Did other minor tweaks here and there .

Since Shapeways changed how they calculate prices, I had to put all the pieces of the figure on sprues to keep the prices low.
-This has a few side effects:
1. Prices for figures will be generally a few dollars cheaper than before.
2. Shapeways does a poorer job at cleaning sprued parts as some areas are not as accessible for cleaning (affected are mostly hidden joint sockets), meaning that you may have to do more dusting than before. The printing powder residue is generally easy to remove from the sockets.
3. I don't recommend ordering the figures in color and would stick to the default white polished material.
Cleaning printing powder residue is a lot more difficult on color prints. Color prints are dyed in the chosen color after printing and the powder becomes clumps up and becomes harder, making the cleaning process more time consuming and difficult.


v1.2 - 08/21/14
Updated the figure with all the latest body tweaks and joint improvements I've made on newer figures so far, including the addition of Thigh cuts.


INSTRUCTIONS, please read.
The figure looks like in the first rendered image (bare feet etc), not like in the photos (with shoes). The photos are from an older version of the body and just shows the articulation.
Assembling this figure might require some minor tweaks. Please read all the instructions below. More information as well as painted samples using pieces printed with shapeways can be seen throughout this forum thread.

Joints:
-Ball joint head
-Ball joint torso
-Swivel/hinge shoulders
-Swivel biceps
-Hinge elbows
-Swivel hands
-Ball joint hips
-Swivel thigh cuts
-Hinge knees
-Hinge feet.

CLEANING: Joint areas and other cavities might be full of powder ( from the printing process ) and that powder needs to come out. Not only will it be a problem when painting but it will also make some joints difficult or impossible to fit.
Some of the powder will be pretty loose, and some of it will be stuck in tightly. Either way, it is easy to remove by scraping and loosening it with a piece of wire or tooth pick.
Make sure to clean all joint cavities even if they appear clean.
You can find more accurate cleaning instructions with images here.

TREATMENT: I coat all joint areas with Testors liquid cement for plastic models. This seems to help with joint wear and strength in general. The WSF material which is used for printing will absorb most of the glue and the rest will evaporate without adding any unneeded mass to the areas. Keep in mind that areas coated with the cement won't absorb paint very well anymore, so it's better to coat only the joint areas that won't be visible later.

PAINTING: Since the White strong and Flexible material isn't entirely watertight it will absorb some paint. The advantage of this is that paint coverage is great and it makes painted areas very difficult to scratch.
The downside is that if the paint is watered down too much, the painted borders may look a bit soft do to some paint spreading into the surrounding surface. After the surface has absorbed a bit of anything however, any additional paint apps should be perfectly sharp
I recommend painting all the parts before assembling the figure.
Personally, I apply 2-3 coats with acrylics, with the first coat being more watered down to let the surface absorb it better. Joint parts that will be invisible later only need 1 or no paint coat. I do recomment painting those areas just to avoid missing areas that end up being visible after assembly plus it will make the joints tighter. After the paint coats are done I apply 2-4 coats of Krylon matte finish coat. 1-2 before assembling and another one after assembling.
With the paints and coats I use, I've found that the final painted and coated figure usually becomes mostly unscratchable (with fingernails anyway) after about a week.

ASSEMBLY: If you've painted and coated your figure before assembly, I recommend letting it all sit for 24-48 hours before assembling.
During the first 24-48 hours, the paint and coats can still be smudged around if handled with strength and humidity (from your hands) and you may still be able to wear off the paint that way if it hasn't bonded properly with the plastic yet.
Please follow the link provided for assembly order. The figures can be assembled in ALMOST any order but following the order in the instructions linked here is recommended: Assembly order

Do to the nature of 3d printing, some tweaks may need some minor tweaking.
I'm constantly tweaking joints to make assembly easier while keeping joints tight.
Some joint sockets and joint pegs may require some minor sanding on one end or some minor scraping along the walls of the cavity until they fit properly.
The printing powder stuck in the crevice space sorrounding the ball joint sockets will sometimes impede the expanding of the socket when trying to fit the ball joint. Scraping along the floor and lower walls of the socket usually does the trick.
Whenever scraping and sanding, do it in small increments and try fitting again, it's usually just a very thin layer of material that's causing the problem.

PLEASE read through the assembly instructions to know what to expect.
