I wanted to do a jointed model for the Printables contest. Jace1969 (who has a ton of great SW models) had this ATST model, but it was a solid model so I diced it up and added 14 joints to make it into a posable design.

I was trying to avoid any fasteners, but I had trouble getting the bottom two joints stiff enough to hold the weight so in the end it uses 4 M3 bolts, which is a size I figured most of us would have around kicking around. (If you need some these should work.)

The joints all use TPU bushings for ease of assembly and then added friction to keep the joints from sliding once posed. The joints should be stiff enough that you can just pose and it will hold in that position.

The printing is somewhat challenging given the detail. I have provided all my project files for any that want to see what I did. I used my prusa mark 4 and the organic supports and I was very pleased with how easy it was to get everything cleaned up. A razor blade, pliers and a bit of patience yielded a great result.

For those to who noticed, I know the clones don't go with the ATST, but my kids don't have any storm troopers.

Printing list:

PLA: Body.stl Gun_Front.stl Gun_Left.stl Gun_Right.stl Head.stl Left_Foot.stl Left_Leg_A.stl Left_Leg_B.stl Left_Leg_C.stl Left_Thigh.stl Right_Foot.stl Right_Leg_A.stl Right_Leg_B.stl Right_Leg_C.stl Right_Thigh.stl

TPU: Right_Knee_Cap.stl Left_Knee_Cap.stl Bushing_Ankle.stl Bushing_Front_Gun.stl Bushing_Leg.stl Bushing_Neck.stl Bushing_Side_Gun.stl Bushing_Thigh.stl

Note - the Kneecaps can be printed in either PLA or TPU. You might be able to do all the bushings other than the neck in PLA but I didn't test that
