    So after finishing my print, I have determined that using a basic 3d resin is way too brittle for moving parts.

    I broke hip ball peg last night....which sucked. Basic 3d resin cant handle hardly any torque. There are tough resins out there that would be more appropriate for printing these awesome figures. I will be looking into them. Back to YouTube I go.

    Another thing you can try is printing in normal resin, then creating a mold and casting in a more durable resin. Casting resins are far more durable then printing resins. I'm working on and off on a project that I intend to cast when it's finished.

    Or you could print the main parts with resin, and use PLA or TPU for the joints that will have and tension/motion.

    looks amazing! but the deluxe insecticons arent the season 1 insecticons. the deluxe insecticons are barrage, ransack, chop shop, and venom.

    Oh man, that looks sweet! And there's a Grimlock now too! If you're considering accessories, might I suggest the Shock Blast Canon. :D
