First off, a couple quick updates:

• For anyone who is building these, I just made some updates to the instructions pdf. At the end, I included a new section that shows some pictures of exactly how to bend and place the springs in the print. I found these to work very consistently, so I recommend doing it this way. But if you found a way to make it work another way, by all means, keep doing that
• If you want to access the SolidWorks files to make any modifications, big or small, you can access those here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7417881
• If you're printing these with a resin printer, check out these files, modified thanks to the help of Lone - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7419211
• If you're printing with an FDM printer, stick to the original files - https://makerworld.com/en/models/3365660-exile-hydranoid-v2-custom-bakugan-design#profileId-3827366 You may be able to mix the resin and FDM files, but I can confirm they seem to work this way

Anyways, I thought I'd make my infinty core version and a Bakupearl! The infinity core version has a colour scheme more inspired off of SH Hydranoid. Making these were fun, and I'm really interested to see what any of you all can make. I'd like to compile an album of builds, whether you stick with the og color schemes or if its something unique!

Let me know if you run into any issues with the print, I'll do all I can!

I hope to have Gauntla done within a month!

Gauntla the hand won with 154 votes! It will be the next design I model, updates coming soon!

Edit: they will all get made eventually, but Gauntla will be next

With the Exile Hydranoid V2 models done, I wanted to ask you all a question.

I thought I may as well get to work on another model while I wait for my printer to show up.

Which of these concepts do you prefer the most? Bear in mind, these are rough sketches, and the designs could change slightly when it comes to modelling, but my priorities are to keep everything fully automatic.

I will likely do them all eventually, but I’m not sure which to start with. Whichever gets the most votes will be the next design I complete!

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the priorities with each concept:

- Shining Dragonoid: Dragonoid evolution. Will have a 3-piece wing design

- Scythe Reaper: Reaper evolution. Will have a scythe that swings out and conforms to the outside of the ball

- Quetzal: inspired on the flying serpent deity, Quetzalcoatl

- Gauntla: A hand

I recently bought a 3D printer, and I thought I’d try to make my own bakugan design! I wanted to try to make it look something like hydranoid while keeping everything fully automatic(no manual parts). I plan to make a v2 at some point, might try to add automatic horns, and rework the heads and ball form design. It’s also currently the b3 size(36mm), so I might try to bring it down to the b2 size(32mm)

EDIT:
Thanks for all the kind comments! The models are now available on maker world if anyone wants to attempt it:

I've also settled on a name - Exile Hydranoid
I'll get to work on making an improved version soon!

EDIT 2:
Also, this was printed on an FDM printer, so whether you have an FDM or a resin printer, it should work!

So a while back I did these jojo gundam drawings, and didn’t end up posting this one.
