Description

This is an easy-to-print ratchet joint I designed for the combiner I've been working on; Monstructor. This is just a test print to see how well the ratchet works, and yes, this is how big the joint is on the combiner. You'll see that there are two files one is the 2.0 version of the ratchet design (the first wasn't quite presentable), all parts included, and the second file a 3.0 version of the spring that's tighter. Also, I consider this an easy print, however it may be smart to still use support for the finest results. And now for a quick update on my combiner project. I've made two monstercons (or monster pretenders if you prefer) so far, and a third in development. I've also made a few combiner pieces (this is the hip joint to be clear). I had a few people ask me if the combiner parts will be able to form weapons for the robots or maybe form some type of beast/monster drone, and honestly I'm not sure... I'm focused on making these parts functional in combine mode right now, any alternate features will come second. Follow me on my cults page for when these finally release! https://cults3d.com/en/users/optimusha/3d-models
