Sound Ghost Disk God Disc Beast Volume 3 Pre-assembled Print-in-Place Transforming Toy

Disk-Type Onis from Kamen Rider Hibiki, Part 3

A nostalgic nod to classic Chinese assembly toys from my childhood,
I’ve opted against purchasing official versions, prioritizing cherished memories instead.
Now, a superior alternative emerges—3D printing.
Achieving seamless, integrated printing and transformation, eliminating the need for assembly—simply print and play.
Furthermore, joints boast exceptional tightness.
Transformation from a circular disc form to an animalistic form is flawlessly executed.

Part 3 features three figures, appearing in the theatrical version

These are subtly modified and recolored versions of the standard models.
Adorned with golden patterns, their aesthetic significantly surpasses their television counterparts.

9. Hakuren Ōen (White-trained Great Ape)
10. Shōboku Karasu (Ink-erasing Crow)
11. Kōgan Shishi (Crimson Rock Lion)

Notice:

1. PETG filament is essential for printing; PLA’s higher shrinkage rate and insufficient strength complicate the design of moving components.
2. To prevent loose joints, minimal gaps have been incorporated. Several PETG filaments were tested without experiencing adhesion or jamming, however, this does not guarantee universal compatibility.
3. Upon printing, joints may exhibit slight adhesion. Firmly flexing the joints will restore mobility. A dedicated tool has been designed to facilitate this process.
4. Some models require support structures; carefully remove them.
5. To enhance visual appeal, multi-color AMS printing was employed, replicating the original color scheme. Each configuration’s second plate provides a monochrome version.
6. Multi-color printing takes approximately 2.5 hours per model. Monochrome printing takes less than 2 hours per model.
7. Transformation sequences for some models require attention; instructions are provided below. Forcible manipulation may result in damage.

• 9. Hakuren Ōen (White-trained Great Ape)

Transformation Considerations (Applies to models 3, 9, and 15):
1. Release the two latches located on the heels and elbow recesses before transforming the disc into the animal form.
2. Initially, leave the shoulder swivel joints untouched; manipulate the hip swivel joints first, then the shoulders—otherwise, the figure will jam.

• 10. Shōboku Karasu (Ink-erasing Crow)

Transformation Considerations (Applies to models 1, 6, 10, and 13):
1. When returning to disc form, finally press down on the legs, securing them with the wings. Transforming into avian form requires initial leg manipulation.
2. If the head is immobile after initial post-print separation, use the provided tool to assist.

• 11. Kōgan Shishi (Crimson Rock Lion)

Transformation Considerations (Applies to models 2, 7, and 11):
1. Latches are situated at the rear of the front paws, engaging with recesses on the hind legs.
2. Begin by extending the forelimbs when transitioning from disc to animal form.
3. Initially, refrain from manipulating the forelimb swivel joints; first, manipulate the hind leg swivel joints.
4. After lowering the hind legs, rotate the hind paws downward. This may present slight resistance, but rotation is feasible; subsequent transformations proceed freely.
