Update 16: Sub assemblies

Started getting some parts into sub assemblies, and then started tightening up the joints that needed it. Currently the only ones left that need some work are the shoulder posts where they connect to the torso (way too loose), outside that everything articulates as necessary~
Honestly though it's one of the most frustrating parts of this kind of build. Every joint is made with a tolerance gap of .0025-.003" between the post and slot. Despite this, some slots can end up a little loose, or some slots end up a little tight, and it will never be consistent between prints. The ambient temperature could be off, the current batch of resin might vary slightly from the previous, the rotation of the part might be different between prints, etc. etc and that's enough to throw things off. I really wish I could have some consistency because it's one of the main reasons I decided against trying to do a run of physical kits.

But I digress xD

I also have a proper camera now, and it only makes some of the layer lines in the print evident, and that I will probably never be able to keep this colorscheme truly free from dust. And outside a few spot corrections, now that I've had some of the assemblies together has me really excited for the rest of things to come~
