Venus de Polylactide

Venus de Polylactide is my first attempt at a BJD or "ball-jointed doll". Frankly, I'm not too pleased with the outcome (too much range of motion in some joints, too little in others, and I only figured out how to hollow out the pieces properly after I'd already finished it), but who knows, someone might find her useful.

I used MakeHuman to model the base form, Meshmixer to slice into segments, and Tinkercad to create the joints.

To print:
- You may print the entire model at once using the "Single_Plate.STL" file, but this may limit your fine control over which parts get supports and infill.
- Supports are only necessary for the hands. Keep them sparse (I used 10%) to minimize scarring.
- Use a thick brim to hold the limb segments stable during printing
- For most parts little infill is needed. For the hands, I recommend 100%.
- As with anything, 0.1mm resolution is pretty, but this will take a long time to print anyway so you might stick to 0.2mm as I did here.
