_After hours of exploring every nook and cranny of Tallon IV, finding every one of the 12 artifacts, and defeating your nemesis (definitely for sure this time no doubt), you venture into the core of the Impact Crater to face off against one last foe..._

This is Metroid Prime, the final boss of... Metroid Prime. This articulated figure was made using the actual in-game model of the creature (with the help of MPR and URDE), with brand new joints added to every articulation. Most of the pieces are just as they were in-game, with some modifications done here and there.

The inside of the boss is hollowed to allow the addition of an RGB LED module inside, which represents the beam vulnerabity of the creature, this is also why some of the parts are made with translucent material, first to allow the light of the LED to escape, but also to be able to use the remote control that comes included and needs line of sight with the IR sensor.

The space inside was designed to house the electronics and the transformer of a particular 3W lamp I bought and gutted, if you are interested, just know that the size of the PCB is 32x32mm (Ø36). The back leg has its three segments also hollowed out to allow the passage of a cable to power the LED, but if you don't want to do that stuff, I've also provided a version of the toe (?) without the hole.

To assemble this beast, you will need two of each part with the exception of the jaw and the lower teeth which only one of each is required, and the piece called peg_1 needs 10 of each to make the hinges, I tried having them being part of the limb but they kept breaking, forcing me to discard the whole part, so I decided to have them be their own thing, which allowed me to print them in a better orientation. The smaller pegs are for an easier assembly of the halves, you will need roughly 14 of them.

Every single part is from the left side and to make the right side all you need to do is duplicate and mirror the parts. Limbs with the number 1 are closest to the body, number 2 is the middle part, and number 3 is the extreme. "Joint" pieces are attached to their corresponding body part, and "connection" pieces link the joints to the limbs. The very last upper tooth actually prevents the mouth from being able to close itself properly, so I added an alternate version that has that last tooth removed, guess too much Phazon ingestion can cause cavities.

I'll probably add an infograph because it can be confusing, and assembling the body can be quite tough without help. Vises and rubber bands will come in handy while gluing some of the parts together.

Your feedback is more than welcomed, as Im still looking into some of the parts.

EDIT1:
Added the eyeball for the 6 body eyes.

Changes to the front leg parts:
+New shorter Peg3
+New Connection and Joint pieces now using ball joints
-Removed the older versions to avoid mixups.

EDIT2:
+Finally added the infograph.
+Changed the eyeballs.

_See you next mission._

Update 1: Added a looser variant of the peg_2, hopefully this one will make it easier to assemble the figure.

New articulated figure, this time its Ornstein from Dark Souls!

This figure uses the actual game model, downloaded from The Models Resources, most of the geometry is preserved with minor modifications. The only thing I didn't do was the chainmail cloth so to not limit his mobility.

To simplify the assembly as much as possible, there are only two main type of pegs used all throughout, with only a few specialized ones for some joints. Pegs and joints should be printed flat on the bed for better strength whenever possible, and I have tappered most of the pieces to give them some kind of flat surface for this. Pegs can be squished with pliers for easier plugging, causing some small deformation to them should not be a problem.

To piece together the figure, you will have to read the item description included in every stl file... nah jk, I'll soon include an infograph with instructions, altough it is fairly straightforward. All pieces are of the left side of the figure, and you will have to duplicate and mirror them in your slicer of choice. I will also provide some files with multiple pieces. For the most part, glue is not necessary and the pegs should be strong enough to hold everything together.

Everything fits a standard 200x200 bed, however the stand pole is too tall and I split it in two pieces, this one could be glued together, but I also have a single-piece version of it if you have a bigger bed.

Each piece is labeled with the recommended filament color in their file name, if no color is indicated, use whatever you want as the piece will not be visible. Most of the figure was made in gold and black.

This fella is 18" tall, with the lance going up to 23". Total printing time was around 150hs not counting prototyping and testing.

Update 1: Ive added an articulated stand for better posability.

This is a 1:2 articulated figure of Samus' Varia Suit from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Im using this page as a "low poly" backup, with the other page containing the high quality models. Most of these can be printed in a 200x200 bed, but the legs will need a larger space.

Instructions for assembly are included in a PDF file. Grouped files for different parts will come at a time. All pieces should be printed in gold colored filament unless specified otherwise in the name of the file or the instructions.

This is still a work in progress and pieces might be replaced with new improved versions after testing.

Assembly requires two ¼"x3" screws for the hips and a handful of 3/16" screws (can be M5 as well) of different lenghts for everything else, these are as follows:

Six - 3/16" x1" - 5mm x25mm (ankle and arms)
Two - 3/16" x1 1/2" - 5mm x40mm (elbow)
Two 3/16" x3" - 5mm x75mm (shoulder)
Two 1/4" x3" - 6mm x75mm (hip)
Four 3/16" x2 1/2" - 5mm x65mm (legs)
Five 3/16" x2" - 5mm x50mm (leg2, knees and torso)
Two 1/4" x2 1/2" - 6mm x65mm (cannon)

Use of lock nuts is recommended. The model has holes for more screws for extra securing, but the pegs turned out to be more than good enough, however they are still required to tightening the articulations.

This is a new version of my old Quadraxis figure made in 2020, it's much larger and faithful to the original boss. In keeping with the spirit of the previous version, I modeled every part myself, this time using the gamecube files as a base reference to keep every part proportional to its original counterpart (some vertices are an exact match, but 99% of the geometry is new). Also decided to reutilize the ankle articulation from the Samus figure, and repurpose it as the joint for every leg.

The entire figure is hollow to house the LED strips, the wires and the controller boxes, I used the electronics that come with the regular strips, but there is plenty space inside the head for an arduino board.

The assembly it's held together with a combination of pegs and 3/16" (M5) screws of various lenghts, these are as follows:

SIX 2 1/2" (60mm) for the knees and body
TWELVE 1" (25mm)  for the hip joints and leg 1
TWO 1 1/2" (40mm) for the body
ONE 2" (50mm) for the head

This fella occupies roughly half a cubic meter of space, keep that in mind if you ever decide to make one for yourself, that being said, it should be possible to scale it down to a more reasonable size, but know that the pegs for the transparent pieces will not work anymore because they are already very small, glue will be require to join these.

Files with a G in the title are groups of pieces, including both regular and mirrored parts, the x will indicate how many times that group needs to be printed. All parts and groups have been made to fit in a 200x200 bed, any missing group is due to the combined size being larger than this (leg 3, for example).

The head comes with both right and left halves, the body and leg halves are all for the left side, these pieces must be duplicated and mirrored in the slicer.

Most pieces are black or dark grey, with other colors specified in the name.

Notes:
Base is blue, swapping to gold filament for the S, but it can be made in any color.

I used Kodak's "Enhanced PLA" for all pegs, hip pieces, knuckles, ankles, and knee connectors. The pieces have a better finish than the regular PLA, but support is harder to peel off.

Post-Printing
Use the various grooves and circles to paint with acrylic. Circles and wedges are red, lines are grey.
