About the Mai Shiranui model, some notes about it. During the concept phase, I thought of the character in a more dynamic pose, but with only one point of support, and center of gravity off the center of the model, (I know there are many models like that out there), but if added complexity and at 1/4 scale can be a challenge. I made the base more robust, but it is difficult to predict the exact final printed result. So, the 1/4 print test presented the tilt problem, because of the center of gravity in her butt, made it pull the model backwards, to go around without changing the design, I changed a little the angle of the foot socket to the opposite direction, it solved, but there was still stress on the leg, due to the flexibility of the resin, it made it bend a little. So I added holes to add internal metal rods, in my case I used M5x100 screws for the foot, and M5x80 for the leg (4.5mm hole diameter), it also has a smaller hole for a thinner rod reinforcement. I know that PLA is more rigid, for FDM users who print it, If possible a feedback, I appreciate it.
