响鬼Disc-type God Light Disc Beast Fourth Edition Snap-fit 3D Printed Transforming Toy

Disk-type God Fourth Set from Kamen Rider Hibiki

A nostalgic recreation of classic Chinese D-style assembly toys,
revisiting cherished childhood memories without the need for original purchases.
3D printing presents a superior alternative,
enabling seamless, one-piece printing and transformation, eliminating assembly—ready for immediate play.
The joints achieve remarkable tightness.
Transformation is possible from a circular disc form to an animal form.

This fourth set comprises four designs, appearing later in the TV series and in design drafts.

These are simply color variations of a standard model,
with numbers 13-15 capable of transforming into armor, according to the setting.

12. Golden Wolf
13. Steel Hawk
14. Armored Crab
15. Hooded Great Ape

Note:

1. PETG filament is required for printing. PLA's higher shrinkage rate and insufficient strength significantly increase the complexity of designing moving structures.
2. To prevent loose joints, the clearances are kept extremely minimal. Testing with several PETG filaments showed no sticking or jamming, but this is not guaranteed for all filaments.
3. Upon printing, joints may exhibit slight adhesion. Vigorous manipulation is necessary to facilitate movement; a dedicated auxiliary tool is provided to assist with this.
4. Some models require the careful removal of supports.
5. AMS multicolor printing enhances visual aesthetics, closely emulating the original color scheme. Each configuration's second plate provides a monochrome version.
6. Multicolor printing takes approximately 2.5 hours per model; monochrome printing takes under 2 hours per model.
7. Transformation sequences for some models require attention. Detailed instructions are provided below; forceful manipulation may result in damage.

• No. 12 Golden Wolf

Transformation Considerations (Nos. 2 Glassy Wolf, 7 Yellow-Red Lion, 11 Red Rock Lion—these points apply generally):
1. The clasp is located at the back of the front leg, interlocking with the rear leg's recess.
2. To transform the disc into an animal form, first extend the two forelimbs.
3. Initially, leave the foreleg's folding joint untouched; first manipulate the rear leg's folding joint.
4. After folding down the rear legs, rotate the hind feet downward. This may encounter some resistance but is achievable; subsequent transformations proceed freely.

• No. 13 Steel Hawk

Transformation Considerations (Nos. 1 Crimson Hawk, 6 Light Green Vulture, 10 Black Ink Crow, 13 Steel Hawk—these points apply generally):
1. For disc transformation, finally press down the legs; they lock with the wings. Leg transformation precedes the bird form.
2. When initially removing adhesion, if the head is immobile, use the auxiliary tool to assist.

• No. 14 Armored Crab

Transformation Considerations (Nos. 4 Yellow Algae Crab, 14 Armored Crab—these points apply generally):
1. The clasp is located on the protrusion of the right claw. To transform the disc into an animal form, first unlock this clasp.
2. The right claw's rotation joint may be initially difficult to manipulate; use two auxiliary tools to assist.
3. The crab's eyes may be initially difficult to manipulate; use the narrow end of the auxiliary tool.
4. Leg transformation requires fully extending both claws to provide space for the crab legs.
5. Rotate the first pair of crab legs forward; rotate the remaining three pairs backward.
6. The crab leg area may be initially difficult to manipulate; use the auxiliary tool to assist.

• No. 15 Hooded Great Ape

Transformation Considerations (Nos. 3 Green Great Ape, 9 White Trained Great Ape, 15 Hooded Great Ape—these points apply generally):
1. The clasp is located on the heel, interlocking with the recess at the elbow. To transform the disc into an animal form, first unlock both clasps.
2. Initially, leave the shoulder's swivel joint untouched; manipulate the hip's swivel joint first, then the shoulders, otherwise it will jam.
