I printed one for myself for that exact reason a few weeks ago. Afterwards I felt like an idiot for 3D printing for so long and never printing one out for myself before. I can't exaggerate how much one of these has helped my figure poses with how insanely posable and diverse they are.
I have got some cool 3D models too, do check them out in my link if you are interested. I update regularly and planning to post some more magnetic, connected and articulated things soon. :D
I can't stop printing them. I just love printing and building these things and all the remixes. The heroes and the weapons and hats and stuff. All fun.
These have been such a blast of nostalgia for me. I hate that newer "action figures" have little movable parts and super cheap quality, vs growing up with our G.I Joes that could move everything and take a beating. ive printed 3 so far and want to just keep printing more for no reason other reason than the joy of it. lol
I've made so many of these, along with her other models, Lucky and Mini 13. These have held up through lots of rough play. A definite thumbs up. Thank you for bringing Soozafone some attention.
This is like printing your own Gundam! It would be awesome to have different kinds of armor/outer shells like maybe a storm trooper! Also I wonder if you print the frame in TPU if it would work better? Some Gundam parts use a rubber type material in the joints.
I've wondered that too - I used to have those toys he mentioned, "Stikfas" and the issue was the joints would wear out super quick because they were a hard plastic. But my old Gundams that saw WAY more play still hold up pretty well due to the more rubbery joints.
@@AluminiumPanda6 Its not so much that the joints wore out. The big issue was how thin the walls of the sockets were/are. Also, as the plastic got very brittle over time, it was extremely easy to snap the socket, making them useless. Its fine for any you might find that are already put together but I would avoid any that aren't, unfortunately. Also, the ones made and packaged later were made with a different plastic. For example, the blue duelist or the red succubus. And, oddly enough, many of the clear versions, like the clear knight, have held up fairly well.
I got hooked on these, bought several from different sellers on ETSY. The ABS or ASA frames/skeleton are the best. Stiffer, but smoother joints. For $7 unassembled is great.
just stumbled upon the Dummy 13s and printed two for my two boys and they absolutely love them. It's so cool doing all those different poses with them. Just awesome!
I have a 50% sized one I hide in different places at work to mess with my co-workers. I also have a 300% sized one just chilling on my desk. It's a lot of fun. Look up the Dummy goes to comic con C3PO pack. The head gives it a lot of personality.
*If you really want to mess with coworkers, print a life size one. When you take time off, have the Dummy13 sit by your desk and put some of your clothes on it. Would look like you're still there and working.*
@@UncleJessy Yeah, fidget toys are awesome. People who can design those in a way that they can be played around for hours should be the ones to design toys and games :)
I remember Stikfas! I was super into customizing them and was even involved in their official forums back in the day :D Also digging the Eva 01 themed photo sweep
great timing on your video!!! I just printed 2 of these yesterday, and am going to print like 20 more, they are so fun, and there are a ton of weapons and addons by the community to print and play with
The Dummy13's armature is a really good base. I'm working on a way to make more detailed character bodies with different shapes using it. I've been printing these constantly just because they're really good for art posing and the like. There's a satisfaction in putting them together I used to get from K'NEX figures and the like.
Hey there Uncle Jesse. All i could think about when i saw you fighting your 2 figures was Spaceballs. No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!
I know there's at least one guy that printed a 600% one and it's like the size of a small child, It's honestly pretty crazy. NVM seen someone print one at 1300% and is just massive.
Used to have wooden versions of these decades ago for artists/animators to do poses. This could be great, but right now it just looks like a 3d printed version of those old wooden figurines. Seems to me this is a perfect opportunity to expand upon that and make figures with character to them, like popular characters (being able to pose a Tony Stark, or Black Widow) or even exaggerated proportions for like anime sketching, or some other style I'm too old to be hip to.
I think it's pretty obvious...the world needs to see a Giga Dummy! Also, if you have some clear PETG I would love to see what it looks like with the body clear and then the armor in a nice bright color. I bet it'd look sick!
3 weeks ago i got my Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus... Now i can be even more dissapointment for my parents become nerd/geek on whole new greater level, and have another point to "why i don't have a GF list" ! I LOVE IT! all the nerdy stuff i can make! already did Budwin's Red X v2 helmet with chrome paint, Greg the crocodile, parts for 3D printer. And many more ! (P.s. God bless Uncle, love your channel)
Dude Stikfas are the first thing that came to mind when I saw these! I miss those toys. I only have a resin printer... so maybe I should enlist the help of a buddy who has a filament printer to make some of these for me.
Very cool love it as always great content can’t wait to see what you bring out next to us. Proud Patreon member comedy to support the video and your obsessive magneto habits. Be well be you
I used polycarbonate (pc) for the joints and it is perfect for this situation ,very tough material ,though it needs to print with 280 degrees on hotend and 110 degrees on heatbed
got a anycubic k3 combo last month and bought a anycubic S1 a week ago and have yet to be able to print ASA the first few are great then they start to warp and peel. the best I got was a benchy to just under 25 % complete
I know you don't tend to go back and cover the same prints again typically.. but seeing you have those figures and that backdrop you printed as well made me wonder. What if you were to print the backdrop and the figure stand as a green screen sort of color. You would be able to make the figures look like they are actually jumping or fighting or whatever.
It’s really optimized for FDM printing. I watched a video from someone in the stop motion animation community trying to resin print one, and I think he eventually got to one that could be assembled, but it took a lot of failed prints and all of the joints were pretty still and brittle
Hi great video so fun! I hope one day I can have a channel like yours I’m 7 and my dad bought me an a1 a few months back now printing is so fun still learning!
Ahh I totally printed two of these already! First one I did, 120% scale but like the skeleton parts were too tight and I had to sand down the ball joints to get them to click. The next one I scaled up to 150% but on the skeleton I changed the setting in Prusa slicer to "shrink" the xz scale by -0.1mm, making the print ever so much smaller, and it made for a really really nice fit for all the joints. The creator of this project isn't lying though, it definitely helps to print the skeleton with ABS rather than like standard PLA.
I have some Figma figures I bitt a few years ago that look very similar to these exterior they have real body parts like a human shaped chest, arms, etc.
Sooooo should I Life Size Print one of these on the Giga!?
Do it!
Com certeza! Just do it!
@@UncleJessy 100% that would be sick “Super sized Dummy 13 “
Yes
@@Airaple imagine like 0,5 Meter Dummy 13 🤩
This is great for artists posing. I'm so getting these.
Agreed! I also just saw a cool posable hand model on printables that I might try and print
glad i came across this video, i was looking to spend about $60 on one of the commercial posable figures for artists, now i don't have to

Am i the only one who's noticed that Soozafone's files on Printables have a ton of dummies and just one articulated spider hanging out there?
Did you use pleg

People are printing gundams, there are a few vids out.
On Printables there's already tons of armor / shell parts, even Space Marine and Gundam is there
@@parangsakti2610 oh I’m so there. Thank you!
If I were a toy manufacturer, like Lego, 3D printing would be the bane of my existence.
As someone who wants to make his own action figures sometime, I enjoyed this.
So cool! You definitely need to print a life size version.
Yes! Def print one out on your Giga. That was one of the first things I thought of when clicking/watching your vid
Gotta LOVE Sooza!

My daughter and I have been printing these lately and putting them together. The largest we have now is 150% but we are going to 500%!
about 19-20" tall or so, at 500%?
I have a 50% sized one I hide in different places at work to mess with my co-workers. I also have a 300% sized one just chilling on my desk. It's a lot of fun. Look up the Dummy goes to comic con C3PO pack. The head gives it a lot of personality.
Oh wow! 300% size might be a good big but not too big option
@@UncleJessyno such thing as too big. Bring the Giga sized one to Printopia!
*If you really want to mess with coworkers, print a life size one. When you take time off, have the Dummy13 sit by your desk and put some of your clothes on it. Would look like you're still there and working.*
That's a pretty good toy print.
It’s a lot of fun to fidget with
@@UncleJessy Yeah, fidget toys are awesome. People who can design those in a way that they can be played around for hours should be the ones to design toys and games :)
I've already found and printed a chappie head for mine, it suits it 😊
It's a truly great model. Amazed you hadn't done an episode yet on it!

Those are super cool.
Wow gotta love the 13
Someone could so easily make great action stompmotion with these!
I love making these
This is great for artists who need a model reference when drawing poses!
Soo true thats my thought proccess exactly: "Ooh look a 3D printed dummy -> Ooh look an art piece with terrible proportions -> Ooh look a solution
I love those
Are there any of these in 1:18 scale?
Hey there Uncle Jesse. All i could think about when i saw you fighting your 2 figures was Spaceballs. No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!
I printed both the armor and frame in PLA, first broke bcz PLA is too thin in some places but next one worked perfectly
I was thinking I need a new camera background- glad you showed that one off. 🎉
Yes, do the big one!
These are so cool!!!
I know there's at least one guy that printed a 600% one and it's like the size of a small child, It's honestly pretty crazy. NVM seen someone print one at 1300% and is just massive.
I have a Tina2 or something like that should it work on that printer?
I got some for Christmas about 11 and I love them
Definitely need to do a life size scale one 😂
How awesome 👍👍

Do you now can you do these with a1 mini
I really want to see it life size, go for it.
This has to be Stikfas inspired. All of the custom models remind me of the accessories
I loved stikfas
Do you remember Lego Bionicle? I wonder if this would be compatible or able to be compatible with them 🤔
@@petercory8128 looking at my Toa Nuva rn. Lots of possibilities here...
Wonder if there is a way to customise a dummy 13 into a gi joe B.A.T or trooper
@@prepperinthewoods oh that’s a cool ides
GIGA! GIGA! GIGA! Do it!!
Mad respect you got the master chief helmet in the background
"I alone am the honored one" pose at 5:29
Yes, do a life-sized one, please.
Go Big!!
I think it's pretty obvious...the world needs to see a Giga Dummy!

What slicer do you use?
@@GamerOne1017 looks like "orca slicer"
Orca slicer 4 Life
would be cool for stop motion videos!
I love dummy 13 there is crazy level of poses
Dude Stikfas are the first thing that came to mind when I saw these! I miss those toys. I only have a resin printer... so maybe I should enlist the help of a buddy who has a filament printer to make some of these for me.
Should try printing some with the Siraya tech mecha resin since it's apparently designed for rubbing applications like this.
Print one at 6 foot tall with a suit of Stormtrooper armor or something? That'd be pretty cool.
There is a stormtrooper armour mod on bambu handy
these are super cool, I found these and I already printer 3 and they don't take that long to print
how do i fix if the joints won’t fit well but there correctly to scale
Uncle Jessy your videos are always awesome and have such great information, thank you good sir!
Very cool love it as always great content can’t wait to see what you bring out next to us. Proud Patreon member comedy to support the video and your obsessive magneto habits. Be well be you
What filament did you used ? what do you think about the elegoo filament ?
I actually love these, but when I printed mine in PLA the joints wore out in under 24 hours of posing them. Definitely should have used PETG
I used polycarbonate (pc) for the joints and it is perfect for this situation ,very tough material ,though it needs
to print with 280 degrees on hotend and 110 degrees on heatbed
Cannot wait to try one of these!
When you say the body should be printed with pet G, is pet G pro the same thing?
MORE TOYSSSS!!!! 👍
man I love your videos and your prints, and i have a request that will you make a video on printing old gen beyblades like the plastic ones
the itinialy layer and other layer seems to be inverted on soozafones instructions
That would be neat on the giga
does this model work with resin printer?
got a anycubic k3 combo last month and bought a anycubic S1 a week ago and have yet to be able to print ASA the first few are great then they start to warp and peel. the best I got was a benchy to just under 25 % complete
I still have a box of Stikfas, my favorite toy as a kid.
Those look awesome! I'll have to try them out for sure! Have you heard of 3D Zip Guy? I just stumbled across his files and they look pretty fantastic
What program did you use for the Neptune 4?
How do I stop the torso armor part from falling it keeps coming off the little things that hold it on the outline thingy
I have some 3d character models that I wouldnt mind attempting to make into a 3d printable modular parts, my own action figures
I know you don't tend to go back and cover the same prints again typically.. but seeing you have those figures and that backdrop you printed as well made me wonder.

could you 3d print the body using pla and if so could you give me the settings?
print one in 1:18 scale, you know, 3.75-4" tall
When the joint get consumed, how to hold the pose? Any suggestion on that?
I'm new to 3d printing. Is it possible to print this with resin?
Hi great video so fun! I hope one day I can have a channel like yours I’m 7 and my dad bought me an a1 a few months back now printing is so fun still learning!
I've printed these, but i always wondered whered you get the stand for them
Find the stand on Printables
@parangsakti2610 thanks!
How do I get the 200 scale one???
I have a 600% one that I leave on my couch holding the remote. Hes about the size of a small child and its awsome and creepy at the same time.
What slicing software do you currently recommend for these? I’m still using Cura, but wonder if there’s something better.
I kinda want to get one on Amazon
I large sized print would be awesome but I have been curious how a SLA resin style print of this would be?
Can this be made with a resin printer?
Is it necessary to use PETG for the Skeleton or could I just use PLA
I just did, and works, dont know if it Will last
Ahh I totally printed two of these already! First one I did, 120% scale but like the skeleton parts were too tight and I had to sand down the ball joints to get them to click.

I printed it at 200 and 300 percent,they are awesome
Could you post the height in inches for the various scales?
Dumb question here but if these are being printed, why are they on big substantial sprues? I understand that the sprues can be recycled but still...
Man, I miss stikfas. Still have a bunch. Pretty sure the copyright on those has expired. Someone should remake them and cash in.
May I ask, if I wanted to start 3D printing, with absolute no experience. Where do I start? And the best printer to start with?
I don’t have any recommendations, but what I would do would be extensive research on a lot of different 3D printers.
I’ve printed this at 300% but would love to do a life size one if I had a large enough printer as well as the money for it lol
i made it at 200% and its super cool
i printed them on cura and didnt change anything and the pieces wont go together does anyone know why
I have some Figma figures I bitt a few years ago that look very similar to these exterior they have real body parts like a human shaped chest, arms, etc.
Where do I get the files
