>>35941 My idea is cover her in clothes for safety. ...Also for personal reasons. >>35953 Could you provide some 3D printed ball joint hip designs? I'm open to ideas. I like my back joints, though I recognize that they could be improved.

>>35991 In Greentext anon's Doll thread ( >>28514 ), there was linked a life-sized BJD ( >>29758 ) AFAICT. Here's the printables: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:614366 Also, I know we have some other doll internals designs here, but I can't locate them ATM. Maybe this will be enough to go on with, Kiwi?

>>35991 I would recommend the dress, so that the clothes don't get pinched either

>>35992 Was interesting to compare Robotica to my MaidCom design. I do like the aesthetics of Robotica's hips. They're designed with the luxury of an internal elastic cord that allows for her hip beans to twist and contort between her pelvis and thighs. Something I can't replicate. I'll do more investigation into mitigating potential pinching. >>35993 We are of kindred spirit, dresses are great for protection. Cloves are also necessary. Giant gloves are actually needed in many factories so those big arms don't pinch operators if an actuator loses power and droops. Also, helps to prevent burs from getting into the joints. Ferrous burs love to stick to giant steppers.

>>35991 Check out the "My Size Barbie Mod - 3d Print files for Download" thread over on the dollforum for a different take on BJDs: NSFW https://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69416 In that case the "ball" part of the joint is part of the hip and is made from a steel hemisphere. The joint with the leg is held together by powerful magnets. Instead, if you made the hemisphere so it could rotate, you would have the forward and back motion. Cut a vertical (while standing) slot in the hemisphere to allow for leg movement to the side for balance and the sinusoidal motion to of the foot during walking- one foot in front of the other. The slot doesn't have to be very big, as you should only need at most 60 degrees of rotation (unless you want her to be a gymnast). This way the slot ends are always covered by the top of the leg. Add a rotation bearing at the point where the new printed leg top joins the original leg to allow for the vertical rotation of the leg for turning while walking, crossing the legs while seated and the "schoolgirl twist" during snu-snu. I was planning to build one of these and then a robowaifu version as a retrofit thread, until I found this site.

>>36002 It appears that their solution is essentially to just have a huge thigh gap. Not sure that's better than having the pinch zone.

>>36016 > just have a huge thigh gap Well, it is a modification of an existing doll to fit a specific onahole. You are designing from scratch, so you can design for whatever spacing you want, and the mechanics should still allow for the legs to spread, if desired. Plus, most of the time she'll be wearing her uniform, so it may be a question of what you are willing to accept being hidden most of the time, vs exposed/used occasionally. This may always be a problem with hard-shelled bodies. Ultimately, it's a question of personal taste. I never even noticed the spacing of the MSB's legs, and it doesn't bother me, but those tiny hands and mis-proportioned arms really annoy me.

>>35998 >Was interesting to compare Robotica to my MaidCom design MaidCom is much, much better IMO. Yours has sovl, theirs hasn't managed that yet. Anyway, please take the good ideas about the BJD designs where you can, Kiwi. Thanks for the protip about the 'glove', Kiwi. I think our general consensus here is that we'll almost all devise padded, full bodysuits. Not only will it make our robowaifus more comfy in general, it increasing safety & cleanliness (both ours and waifus). >>36002 Excellent resource, Robophiliac. Thanks Anon. >>36016 >Not sure that's better than having the pinch zone. Pretty unappealing design in general IMO. But I do like the oversized hip-ball. I think that can be integrated into a highly pleasing female hip/thigh design with tweaking. >>36018 >You are designing from scratch, so you can design for whatever spacing you want, and the mechanics should still allow for the legs to spread, if desired. Really good points, Anon. <---> Cheers, Anons. :^)

>>35991 One more point, though it's a relatively minor consideration. Overlapping rigid material that can move tends to act like scissors, whenever any material that can be cut finds its way between two pieces of it. I speak from experience. Years ago, when I had much longer hair and still had complete coverage I used to fight for fun in full medieval plate armor I'm back on my meds and feeling much better now. It was part of a lifelong interest in all things robotic, including the concept of powered armor . After one particular day of battle, I realized that my hair- except for a few wispy strands- was several inches shorter than it had been. It had been trimmed by the plates of armor as I moved. Your picrels didn't show what wig, if any, your waifu will wear, but if it's going to be something very expensive like human hair (and long enough to fall down her back) you may want to take steps to protect it from a similar misfortune. I ended up using felt pads glued under the edges of the plates so that the surfaces could glide over each other without ever actually touching. It was also much quieter in use. This may also be a concern in the "pinch" zone- not so much trimming hair as snagging and plucking it from anon at extremely annoying moments, if anon doesn't trim down there. Yes, there are so many details... Cheers

>>36045 Maybe then a Tomboy robot?

>>36045 >Haircut unawares by your favorite LARPwear. LOL I'm really glad that didn't take off anything more important, Robophiliac!! :D Thanks for the great safety advice here, BTW. >crosslinked to safety throd Cheers, Anon. :^)

Getting there

>>36346 Good job!

>>36346 This looks like some very solid progress, Kiwi. GG.

>>36348 >>36349 Thanks! Still learning but, I know it's getting close to done.

>>36579 That's looking really good now, Anon. I've been banging a number of ideas around about cheap actuation solutions that will fit into the volume available for each hip/upper_thigh. For some reason (maybe b/c thinking about pinching) I'm finding this render that NoidoDev posted ( >>36561 ) inspiring rn. I'm also picturing a partial inner ball to rest inside the visible outer ball that could allow for nearby linear actuators to rest inside the torso volume, w/o interfering with the needed major two servos per joint. This would allow for 3-axis movements, wouldn't over-complicate the mechanisms additionally, and would still provide good pinch-protection given those two constraints. When I pick up modelling, I'll diagram my ideas about this for everyone to brainstorm & critique together. <---> Looking forward to seeing what's coming next, Kiwi! Cheers. :^) Soon.

>>36346 >>36579 Great progress. I like it. At least with the imagined flesh suit on top of it. Though, the back in the last pic still looks a bit to bubbly for my taste, but okay. Anyways, I posted many of the pics on this thread on Reddit. If you mind, tell me. It's here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gynoidappreciation/comments/1iiqpgg/maidcom_project/

>>36609 Not quite sure I understand your idea. Could you provide a drawing? >>36646 I'm endeavoring to de-bubble her booty. Feel free to share anything I post anywhere. Heck, I'll freely share any model I still have with anyone that asks. I welcome distribution of anything related to MaidCom

>>36657 >I'm endeavoring to de-bubble her booty OH NO! I was looking and thinking,"Wow look at that booty", and now your going to debootie it. A crime.

>>39359 Nice!

>>39359 That's looking really refined now, Kiwi! GG. :^)

MaidCom's current design (151.5cm) compared to a 170cm European woman 3D scan. I'm currently optimizing her measurements to fit picrel outfit. Then comes optimizing for movement. I will have a doll prototype within the next month. It's insane how far away the current design is from where it began. Heaps of mistakes and learning over what feels like a lifetime has lead to this. I pray it's finally the one. (Arms and hair are from a Megumin game rip and are only present for a sense of how she'll look in clothes with hair. The arm will be the one from the previous design. The body is technically also that body, just poked and prodded into being mostly anatomically correct.)

>>39607 I'm excited to finally see it made physical! How will she articulate?

>>39607 I think this new design is fantastic. Very cute. Don't take this the wrong way but I think if you raised the height ever so slightly, 3 inches, it would cause you less "woke" trouble. As the average women's height is around 5"- 3". Robowaifu's are going to be attacked but if you can thwart them by saying it's average Women's height right off the bat then they can't play the pedo angle on you. If you make it smaller the criticism will be all about how you are a pedo. That's all anyone will talk about (they will make sure of that). Not saying you are, just I can see as their major attack angle. They will do anything to prop up the matriarchy. BTW Tor site is down.

>>39609 I disagree, they'll use that card no matter what. If it's not the height (which I doubt they'll follow the statistical average), it'll be the face, the not-obese design, the graceful femineity, or even just the anime design. I spend a lot of time on Twitter, partially for Galatea promotion, and I see these Twitter freaks in action. If it's cute, feminine, not obese, anime styled, then it's "diddy ahh blud frfr no cap" from pussywhipped zoomers and/or radical leftists. >BTW Tor site is down. That explains it! I felt like the Twilight Zone episode "Where is Everybody?" I thought maybe Chobitsu being on break meant everyone stopped posting as much. Or that Chobitsu really did make up the majority of posts.

>>39610 They'll use anything they can but cutting off one thing means less they can say. It's only 3" and cuts, or I think cuts off, a good deal of of avenues of criticism. If you're going to make it small why not 4 feet or 3.5 and save a lot of material. Well you know why, so why not add a few inches?

>>39611 Sure, but they're going to persist regardless, and it's only going to briefly slow them down, if at all. They have a set conclusion and will twist reality to get there. Like I said, there are many other factors that they would use. If the fact that there are objectively short adult women doesn't stop them, then some average isn't going to give them much pause. They simply hate all that is good and beautiful in the world. Conflict is inevitable. Keep in mind these are the people who identify with fictional demons. Ultimately, it is up to Kiwi.

>>39608 >Articulation Psuedo ball joints see >>36346 If you have any suggestions, I'm open. >>39609 She's 5 ft for me, you can add 3 inches anywhere you want them. As for the squawking of idiots, I take the same stance as Vance. "Woke" already died, it's barely on embers of life support. Even billionaires shoveling money into keeping it alive, can't make real people care. If you ignore them, they just go away. They have no power or conviction, just loud whining until the next thing. >>39610 Frfr, these nutters will harp on anything if they think it'll signal virtue (manipulate woman into feeling safe so they can prey on them.) I don't care about sick manipulative Ramons. I care about promoting a tool to promote health and well being for everyone like us. >>39611 Mate, you're fighting their battles for them right now. We already won, we just need to ignore them. >Why not 4ft tall? Simply because I want her to look nice in small woman's clothing. That, and 150cm is the legal height requirement for sex dolls here in New Zealand. I don't want a bloke to get in trouble because he gave her a jolly roggerin'.

>>39614 >If you have any suggestions, I'm open. -Make sure the prints are sturdy when you need to pop in them -You might want to do a test of the socket-ball to see if the gap gives you the friction you want >laws I don't know how those laws are worded, but I'm pretty sure I curtailed them by making an actual robot that looks like a robot. Idk, I live in America, so I'm not too familiar with the foreign laws. My robowaifu design ethos is "It's not a sex robot, it's a robot you can have sex with." >JD Vance quote Based.

>>39607 BTW I really like the waifu model you have. It's great.

I understand all the criticisms of making it 5'-3" but my basic stance is don't create friction when not needed and don't cut off your nose to spite your face. A lot of the reason "woke" is declining is they are such idiots. If it's average Women's height then they will "automatically" look even more idiotic for talking about it's height and any Women who hear them complain about the height that ARE average height will be offended. So you get free offense of the woke, from some Women, for nothing but 3". Use their own uninhibited woke bitchiness against them. As said aptly in the movie "The Jerk" "It’s a profit deal.” – Navin R. Johnson

Still trying to make her legs work.

>>41459 Good luck, Anon! Cheers. :^)

>>41459 Please examine the newest hip/waist design on this Optimus android, Kiwi: https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1296 It definitely seems to offer better flexibility/natural-gaits than before. Thoughts?

>>41952 >Optimus hip mechanism My jealousy is emence, particularly because of how powerful those actuators are. Moving like that requires heaps of power and precision. Something worth aspiring towards! I do see how principles related to where their DOFs are could benefit MaidCom. I'll need to 3D print similar to fully understand. I may post about it in the prototypes thread. Depends on what I have on my schedule coming up. The other MaidCom model was unable to be altered to reach my goal levels of flexibility, without looking weird. New model is closer to my ideal either way. I have given up on realistic anatomy, again.

>>42040 >Something worth aspiring towards! Absolutely. > I may post about it in the prototypes thread. Sounds excellent! >New model is closer to my ideal either way. She's looking really good now, Kiwi. Godspeed, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>42040 Realistic anatomic has too many engineering constraints.

I know you had an idea for a really jank quantum computer using quartz. Could you give a brief overview?

>>42040 Interesting. How will the joints stay together?

>>42041 Made a quick model with cardboard and metal pins. Overall, I'm not a fan as it requires powerful waist servos. Still workshoping a different motion complex to lower adjacent inertia. Physics of levers is a blessing and curse in equal measure. >>42042 I need to tattoo that on my brain as I keep simplifying then adding anatomical details back. I get carried away and it's cost too many years. >>42043 Thought I only posted about that in MetaRonins server? Eitherway, it's more of a way to provide a cognitive system psuedo free will via quantum randomness. Which is the result of research into creating a psuedo soul and realizing that all information on such is just schizo magical thinking applied to RNG. TLDR; quarts is excellent for diy RNG that are useful, or stochastic generators if you're scamming VC. >>42046 My method for keeping joints together remains bolting servos to a frame of stiff enough rods. Haven't talked about that part for years. It's really getting to me how long I've been failing at this. It all seemed so easy when I thought I could just use pnuematics like some of the robots I've built for the assembly line. Not having access to a central compressor and the assurance of being bolted to reinforced concrete really through me on a wild goose hunt of learning how little I know. Printing another chest test. Hoping for a myrical

>>42359 Beautiful. Looking forward to the results, Anon. KEEP PRESSING FORWARD!

>>42363 She's a tad too small, I'm currently widening her body to better fill out clothing. Also, her breasts are 100% needed for dresses to look right.

>>42370 Very nice!

>>42370 On an interesting note, dirt cheap 15X3mm neodymium magnets are plenty strong enough to hold the two halves of her body together, and hold her dresses on her. I'm shocked how easy it is to use tiny magnets to "fix" anything. Glue was messy and fails easily, magnets are clean, reusable, and makes adjustments simple. Her chest would is sized at 22D by American standards. Which is unfortunately too small. I'm aiming for 32D with the update I'll be printing within a day. Due to its size, it'll likely take another day to be fully printed.

>>42370 >>42372 This looks excellent, Kiwi. Don't tweak too long! Christmastide is two months away... Really looking forward to seeing this alpha1 prototype finished. Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>42371 >>42376 Half of her new chest is rather promising, looks and more importantly, feels right with her white dress. In 5 to 6 hours, I should have an update on how it looks with her bobs, vital to fully understanding the fit.

>>42379 That's a gorgeous dress, Kiwi. Looking forward to it! :^)

>>42380 After printing one bob, it's clear she needs to be a little bigger

>>42381 Neat! I like how you can assemble bobs to the shoulder sections like that. MAGNETS, HOW DO THEY WORK!? Looking forward to the results Anon. Cheers. :^)
