Since its hollow, glue it as is will never work since there is no structural support to apply pressure at that angle to squeeze between the 2 halves to provide a strong enough bonding for the cement to work. Attach the joint and maneuver the pieces around till u complete step 4<3> in the instruction manual. B4 u move to step 4<4> put some cement in between the broken pieces and use some binder clip to squeeze the 2 halves together using the joint housing as structural support.

That part is non critical non moving, it will be weaker then it is originally but it should be fine.


U can also recast it with epoxy putty if u want, assuming the same piece on the other arm is intact. Here is a guide on how to do it. This is abit messy but the recast part will be rock solid.

Finally, after couple of prototype.

that ink cost....
just wow..

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i'm not so much impressed by the 3d printer as i am that your boss hasn't killed you for this.. i can bet that is WAAAAYY more expensive than pla plate, and almost as easily achievable.. i hope u have an idea how much the resin costs

Well, the filament cost rm100 per kg, thus 10 cent per gram. Each complete set only take 20g, thus rm2. Its ABS, not resin.

And by doing this, I actually studying the machine limit and tolerance, the expanding of the materials at different temperature, the accuracy of printing etc...the hangar is actually a by product.

Put a layer of glue on the hand joint, wait for it to dry and then only you shove it back to the forearm slot.

Or if you don't want to less sticky way (no pun intended), use blu tack.

Since you've mentioned blue tack, I found out from the net that there's a 'white' coloured version, but haven't found one at shop. Anyone knows where can I get it?

Ok SD can ganti HG edi ^^
Can open chest and 4 back hands is there too.

Actually, Blu Tac is a brand Each brand has different colors, like Faber Castle, it's in green. But the function remains the same

Will definitely get one

I remember when I was a kid, I bought a SD Gundam and how crappy it was.

SD nowadays is so advanced. maybe I'll start buying them too..
