This is a joint adaptor for the Battletech Clan Invasion KS Shilone Aerospace Fighter (ASF). It is to add a bit of height and a roughly 25 degree tilt to the mini.
The existing model is fine, but a bit big. So it's difficult to place multiple Shilones side by side. The idea is to have an adaptor that can boost the height a little, with a 25 degree tilt to give some variety to the "pose".
Because the adaptor is meant to go between the rod and mini, you can actually put an adaptor on top of an adaptor, so you get a 50 degree (roughly) tilt. Or just reverse the direction and you essentially get a height spacer. And as there is no orientation lock, you can vary the positioning.
Note that these are not exactly meant for push fit - resin bloom can make tolerances a bit difficult. If you want a sound mechanical linkage, gluing is an option.
Test prints were on a Mars 2 Pro; at 0.025mm layer height, time was under an hour when oriented on its side. Curing time was in a Mercury Plus, at 1 min.
There WILL be resin bloom when curing etc. so best to keep the times a bit conservative. These parts need to fit into the existing peg and hole of the mini, so you want to minimize the bloom.
