Kreon Upgrade Kit [shapeways]
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2012 10:10 am
These arrived on my birthday and they fit awesome! I need to make a few minor tweaks to the knee connectors (shave off one of the pegs) and the hands.
The hands had the column for the axle filled in with either support or WST material and I ended up "drilling" them out using the sharpened end of a straight paper clip. it was terrifying. I then cut pieces of paper clip to length and used as axles for the finger joints.
It worked, but I can't expect anybody that goes for this kit to do the same so I'm going to have to work out another solution. I might try a half ball/recess friction connection but I worry that it will keep popping out.
Other than that, this is working exactly how I wanted
For those interested so far:
Kreon upgrade kit by wulongti on Shapeways
Joints are articulated enough for a 3 point landing (the Ironman pose)
Standard Lego parts can fit the pegs for added customization
The pegs all have a 3mm port along with the hands to accommodate the Kreon weapons/Kibble parts as well as the Cyberverse Weapons.
The bottoms of the feet/forearms have female lego ports
Parts easily removed and added to other toys
