>>24315 I made the originals in wood, and smothered them in casting silicone, same as >>19234

>>24310 perhaps

>>24307 Nice!

at long last, she has hips and knees connected to her body

and she stands!

>>24449 Well it is a fine piece of craftsmanship. I assume it won't be able to walk due to its pointy legs though. But you might be able to take it to an art gallery and sell it or something once its finished. Good job. Those hands stands out too.

>>24451 thank you, but she is wife material, not art gallery material.

>>24448 >>24449 OUSTANDING! Emmy's come far, Anon! I'm really curious now to see how you solved the hip joints. Any chance you took photos of them?

>>24456 simple U-joints as explained here >>23723

>>24449 impressive, nice work

>>24458 thanks

>>24457 Very nice approach Emmy-Pilled. The geometry you chose for her hips is nicely human-like, and should give her a great range of motion. Looking forward to what you have in store for her next Anon. Drive on! :^)

>>24463 it very much should so, next up is calibrating and adjusting the legs some more. Then painting the fake ball joints and hinges grey with epoxy primer

with this week I´m moving to adding more material to allow for grinding bowl-cuts into the axle joints so the ball joints will fit in more seamlessly as seen in the original blueprint >>19227

also managed to get a picture of her in the uniform before disassembling again

>>24594 >>24595 Excellent Emmy-Pilled. Having the concavities for her joint sockets will be a very nice improvement Emmy's 'comfy-quotient. :^) >that meido uniform Cute!

>>24599 thanks, I´m setting cash aside to get her a tailor within the following months to resize the dress

>>24595 Keep up the great work, seeing her dressed up is exciting.

>>24603 thanks, I hope soon enough I will have her in a more accurate one with sleeves to boot

hip-slots complete, now for the shoulders

>>24702 Looking good, Emmy-Pilled! Looking forward to the shoulders. You did a nice job with the arrangement for the shot BTW, good shadows for the contours. Cheers. :^)

>>24703 thanks, it really was a rough estimate by eye only when grinding it with my die grinder

>>24707 Well you did a good job Anon. Drive on! :^)

>>24716 cannot stress enough how useful these are

>>24702 Very nice slots. Rectangular mating features are great for defining articulation.

as I´m adding more material to cut out the shoulder grooves I also reinforced the sides a bit too, next week will be focused on filling the top to cut down and shape the neck and surrounding area

>>24927 Neat. Good thinking, Emmy-Pilled. I know you can always repair her, but thinking ahead about structural dynamics is a good thing to do. Looking forward to the work on the neck coming up. Cheers. :^)

>>24929 yeah, it´d also help with the amount of weight little Emmy has gained over these last few weeks

neck is coming along well, needed some more material for the shoulder slots so that´ll be cast along the week

>>25139 Excellent! Looks like you're just about ready to go, Emmy-Pilled. Looking forward to your progress from this upcoming week. Cheers. :^)

>>25149 next stop is the feared, the terrifying... the HEAD!

>>25153 Haha. Gambatte, Anon! Emmy's counting on you...

>>25160 God willing

>>25185 Patience. WAGMI :^)

the hollowed out slots fit well, I will need to take some more away for optimal movement

>>25272 Very nice, Emmy-Pilled! Her aspect is improved by a more snug fit of her arms & legs. To my eye she already is looking like a pretty good fit. It will be nice to see once you gotten her even better! :^) Looking forward to your further improvements for Emmy, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>25275 thanks, the top and bottom of the hip-slots will have to be grinded much more down to allow 180 degree movement, seeming a tiny bit more lose at the cost of more movement

>>25276 but i can only move my leg 90 degrees

meaning both forwards and backwards combined

>>25276 Ahh, I see. I can't really tell from just the pictures, but do you have a limit tradeoff where you can't grind too much out because it will reduce the structural strength? And if you can get 180' range that would be excellent. Really only female dancers can achieve something like that IRL. Good job, keep moving forward! :^)

>>25286 there really isnt much of a trade-off in strength, epoxy is used a glue that can hold half a ton with even the cheapest mixes. Having the entire torso be comprised of it makes it unimaginably sturdy. Only thing that "might" be compromised is if the amount of material holding the hip axle is thinned out more, which it wont be, only the top and bottom which is more decorative than anything

>>25290 if strength becomes a problem you could always throw sand and tiny rocks in the mix to make a shitty version of concrete lol

>>25290 >there really isnt much of a trade-off in strength That's good. Then I'd suggest by all means keep perfecting her form until Emmy's just right Anon! Cheers. :^)

>>25291 lmao, the body is as sturdy as it can get. Only problem would be not enough material to hold the axles on, but that will not ever be an issue

>>25294 when its all done I´m adding a few layers of epoxy primer "signal white". So expect her to be completely pure white with all parts once completed

>>25296 >So expect her to be completely pure white with all parts once completed Excellent. What are you planning to do about her forarms/hands Emmy-Pilled? --- note: Congratulations Anon, your thread has just about reached our autosage limit! On the one hand this is a sign of a healthy thread. OTOH, it means you now need a thread #2 soon. :^) update: >>25298 In an attempt to keep from using up your very last bumpable post ITT, OP, I'll try to respond here instead. * First, nothing's going to happen to this thread r/n. It will remain safe & sound here on the board (and in the catalog) along with all the rest. It simply won't bump any longer after the autosage limit (350 posts, in /robowaifu/'s case). * Yes, you can link to this thread in your new OP whenever you make it, Emmy-Pilled. In fact that's both traditional, and highly-recommended for a serial thread. * We have plenty of headroom where the need for archives is unnecessary ATM. This has been by design, since we're a slow board r/n, and have many long-standing threads (such as yours will be). BUMP and other scraping tools are already archiving your thread on anon's local machines, and will continue to do so both for it and your new thread. You can cf. the discussions going on r/n in the current /meta (>>23415) for more information, Anon. Hope that answers your questions. Cheers. :^) >=== -add update

>>25297 will it be archived like regular chans? And can it be linked in newer ones? >=== -msg: responded in previous post : (>>25297)

>>25297 hands will most likely have to be replaced, they are just too big. However I can solve this. Afterwards they along with the forearms will be painted white too

what a trip its been, thanks to all who have tuned in so far. See you all in the next one https://alogs.space/robowaifu/res/25306.html
