Might I recommend warming the prints, either in hot water or with a heat gun/hair dryer. Resin prints become more flexible when they're warmed up, so they should snap together easier and become rigid again after it cools
I haven’t tested this size on a filament yet but as long as the supports don’t make a mess I’m sure it would be fine. Larger scale would help for filament
Very helpful video. While watching how you struggled a little bit popping in the head I was thinking that maybe the head of the joint should be slightly rounded so it would get inside the hole in an easier way.
Thank you so much for adding this to the course. You’re the best! I have a question. Did you used like the common resin or a hardened one? I wonder if the pegs will brake with “normal” resin
It's possible. I've made a number of projects with similar style plugs. You have to get the dimensions and print angle right so that you have enough flexibility while still being strong enough.
I’m surprised you don’t go about this with having everything as a hollow, then having individual pins that drop into both ends. So if the pin doesn’t break you don’t have to re print the entire part just work the broken pin out and place a new one. I know a company ( Squadt) that does it the same way you are showing , but it always kind of puzzled me.
This is very much a beginners course and is just one option. I’ve tried a myriad of ways over the years but I change my thinking all the time with experience.
The connection looks a bit flimsy, to be honest. I'd imagine that the Big head and the long arms would snap off quite easily. But for a Prototype, just to demonstrate how it moves, it would probably be enough.
Could well be. Over time it would definitely go brittle at this size I imagine. Learning the process is the important thing and then being able to take it further in your own designs. I snapped loads as I was testing the length of pegs and overall size.
I’ve had a blast making this little guy. I’ve ending up with loads of test models so I’m gonna have fun painting this weekend.

Glad you’ve added it to the beginners class. I’ve built an interest in building BJDs and other toys, so this joint type is great to know about.

Great update. Thanks.
This is the most helpful video on joints I have seen ever! What a great job!
I will try this.
Awesome been waiting for this 😊
What resin did you use for this articulated bear ? Or rather ideally what do you recommend to minimise likelihood of the joint pin snapping ?
This is only for resin models?

What resin you used?
Can this be applied to pla? Since resin is a little softer and more bendable than pla

@@SouthernGFX btw love your content and always look forward to the videos you put out.
EEN! Just had to holla “een!”
