    Hi there, I'm very happy today because I've finally finished to design and print this pieces inspired by the wonderful job of Savio´s and I liked them but I really enjoy the creativity process so I decided to try to build them by myself. They're 3D printed in ABS at 0.1mm.

    Unfortunately because I'm an obsessive m*ron, when I was building them I tried to fit a rod and ended with a broken axis (Genious)
    But there's no big deal, the whole set cost me like 10 bucks and I feel it really accomplish what I desired, it even gives some degrees of outer leg motion!
    To much verbiage here it is!
    *P.D. I don't know why do the images rotate, sorry!

    That is pretty ingenious. I have like 12 sets of Savio's hip pieces and they work wonderfully, but this is a different take on the problem and a pretty impressive solution. Nicely done.

    Thanks mate, very appreciated!

    Maybe, but I sell them in my country, what I could do is to sell you a kit.
