Slicing Articulated Action Figures for 3D Resin Printing

So I get asked pretty regularly for advice on how to print the action figure parts and pieces that I sell, specifically how I support them and slice them. I've always resisted the urge to do a tutorial video and instead pointed people to the many videos that already exist out there. The problem though seems to be that though there are plenty of resin printing tutorials out there, not many of them focus on printing that parts of articulated figures, instead they seem to focus on statues and miniatures that don't need to be printed in separate pieces and then assembled.
So I finally made a dang tutorial to address these specific needs!
As I say multiple times in the video, be aware that everyone's best practices will be different based on their printer, the resin used, and the atmospheric conditions in their workshop. Please use the workflow I'll outline in this video as a guide and starting point for your own experimentation. What works for me might not work for you!

I’ve been out of it for a little while, but this was a great video to jumpstart the passion. Thank you Sir for such a great tutorial! It’s fascinating to watch the process, and I look forward to purchasing more of your creations!

brilliant!

[@jayschmidt9977]

Great video thank you. A lot of these same principles of part arrangement works for filament printing your designs as well. Only things I do different is the neck peg flat on its side and feet flat on the plate.

Excellent! This should be helpful for a lot of folks. Well done! Keep up the good work! :)

Thank you - hope it helps!

I was told, some time ago, to always make sure my angle degree was always 47... no idea if it actually makes any difference at all. My figs are constantly plagued with support pocks... hate it.

[@funkymaclunkey]

Never heard the 47 degree rule before - that sounds made up! :) The key I've found to reducing the support pocks is to adjust the side and penetration depth of the support tips to get the right balance between strength and minimal size. Try messing with the support tips!
