Project V-Rebirth : 1/12 Mechanical Frame

Patreon supporters get early access to my new designs.

Project V-Rebirth Core Frame

Overview 

Project V-Rebirth is a highly articulated 1/12 mechanical frame designed as a fresh new beginning after the Dummy 13 series

It features a modular internal structure, serving as the foundation for future armor and weapon expansions—

allowing creators to explore, modify, and build their own mechanical universe
 

Project V-Rebirth is a highly articulated frame I designed for 1/12 scale mechanical figures

It symbolizes a new beginning and is my brand new conceptual art project after Dummy 13

The frame features a modular structure, serving as the foundational framework for future external armor and weapon systems

allowing creators to freely expand, use their imagination, and build their own mechanical characters

Description 

Designed with an industrial sci-fi aesthetic, this frame consists of around 100 parts—

delivering the joy of mechanical assembly

Its joints are engineered with a custom interlocking mechanism, tested repeatedly to ensure flexibility and durability,

minimizing the risk of breakage or looseness over time

This frame features an industrial retro plus sci-fi structure as its core aesthetic

It has about 100 independent parts, offering the joy of model assembly during the process

The joints adopt a special mechanical interlocking design, combining the principle of physical detents

tested repeatedly to ensure good articulation and effectively avoid breakage and looseness issues

Material & Printing Tips 

This model is optimized for 3D printing without supports, thanks to its thoughtful part orientation

Recommended material: PETG

• PETG provides excellent toughness and elasticity, ideal for tight-fitting joints
• PLA is not recommended, as it is brittle and may crack under tension or movement

This model is specially designed and optimized for 3D printing

minimizing reliance on supports in its structural orientation, allowing for no supports printing

Recommended to use PETG material for printing

• PETG has good toughness and elasticity, making it very suitable for the complex interlocking structure of this frame
• PLA is not recommended due to its high brittleness and lack of elasticity, which can easily lead to breakage during assembly or movement

Assembly 

This frame uses a full snap-fit assembly—no glue is required

Follow the step-by-step sequence for best results

GIF guides will be provided here to show the correct way to install ball joints,

ensuring smooth articulation and a satisfying build experience

This frame uses a full snap-fit assembly, requiring no glue for completion

It is recommended to insert parts in step-by-step order during assembly

I will provide GIF animations on this page to demonstrate the correct way to install ball joints

to ensure you get the best assembly experience and articulation

Additional Note 

In the future, I will gradually release new armor sets and weapon modules specially designed for Project V-Rebirth

All related download links will be added here once available,

allowing you to experience the full evolution of this mechanical universe

In the future, I will successively release external armor and weapon series exclusively designed for Project V-Rebirth

and corresponding download links will be updated simultaneously on this page then

so that you can fully experience the extension and evolution of this mechanical universe

1. An additional printing configuration has been added  the ball joints are designed to be printed with TPU material, improving both durability and smoothness of movement.f you have TPU filament available, you can try printing using this configuration for enhanced joint performance.

2. A new Kit Card version has been added to Project V: Rebirth!This version presents the mechanical skeleton in a framed layout   similar to plastic model kits   allowing users to experience the fun of assembling and collecting like traditional model kits. Each part can be easily removed and assembled, making it both display-friendly and functional.

   I have added a brand new Kit Card version to Project V: Rebirth! This version presents the skeleton structure in the form of an assembly model allowing players to experience the joy of disassembling and assembling like traditional models The parts are arranged in a frame making it convenient for both collection and display and can be directly assembled into an articulated frame
