________________________
On 21.09.2018 new knee joints have been added.
Now the Catapult 3D model has new, more durable knee joints to improve the model’s stability. They reliably fix and allow changing the model’s pose. Due to the improved durability, the joints do not wear off because of frequent changes in the model’s pose. The new knee joints are simpler to print and better fit the overall design and appearance of the model. They are also completely replaceable, and you don’t have to reprint the whole model to replace one of these parts.
Now this model contain parts of Locks. One part of Lock (37_Ge_lock_10H_(x4)) you need to print 4 times.
STL files with new joints are already available for download in “Source files” tab FFF/FDM 3.1 Version.
