I used blender's free CC0 “male_primitive_stylized” from Human Base Meshes v1.4.1 as a base, and applied my custom FDMJoints (https://github.com/hpaulsen/fdm_joints) to showcase their versatility.
All of the joints except the inner shoulder joints were made using the Blender FDMJoint extension (currently experimental). This model showcases how the blender extension can limit the range of motion of the joints in certain directions. For instance, the knees do not bend forward nor side-to-side, while the belly bends freely in every direction (but without significant rotation). Unfortunately, the elbow joints had to be raised a small amount to prevent bending backwards. I'm not sure how to fix that at the moment…
Designed to be printed with a 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.2 mm layer height or smaller. Because the FDMJoints do not rely on layer adhesion for their strength (unlike the single-link method most common for articulated 3d-printed toys), any filament can be used as long as it doesn't string much.
