I WANT SO BAD

That is beautiful ^.^

Hinge screw loosening? Loctite! It's a wonderful invention! A little dab'll do ya! (blue not red!)

I have some of that too, I just prefer that it not be needed.

Hah! I just realized that's the stool I broke the last time I was there!

Yep, Is fixed. Each wheel can now support 250lbs. Rolls much smoother now too.

Oh man. That's really cool. Could you use a double-washer to prevent loosening? Or maybe a bolt with a half-thread? (the smooth half of the shaft should reduce friction and torsion, slowing down any loosening that Might occur.)

I designed the pivot so that when the joint is moving the screw does not, the parts key into each other but the shock of each step was causing the screws to back out over time.

That makes sense. Anywho, they're really looking fleshed-out now.(technically-speaking)

Man I'm going to be drooling all over these. So much better than the legs we used on the Dogman 2 movie set. ;.;

To be fair I have had the luxury of a lot of time and revisions on these, movies have pressure to do things fast and not with quantity production in mind.

Awesome! Can't wait to see them!

Looks really good so far.

Looks great! Hope they will be more comfortable and easier to use. Have fun at MFF!

Really nice craftsmanship! Everything looks so clean and done right. The shape of the food hold down looks like it would distribute the load on the top of your foot in a way that would stay comfortable for a long time. I've pondered building myself a stilted suit, I think a maned wolf would be amazing... But I'm 6'4" to begin with, as it is I already clip enough stuff with my g-shep ears...

Good job dude! These look so much on nicer then the last pair and those snowboard bindings should really make them more comfortable. I remember watching you and wonder how you could keep your foot at that angle! Keep up the good work :)

how much weight do those support?

These are still pretty over built, not quite as massively as the first pair. I would comfortably say at least 250lbs, probably more but the UHMW bushings will wear out faster (although the V2 pair shows hardly any wear after a year)

Looking good IronWuff

So looking at this photo, I feels to me the rest position is not feral enough. the knee is too straight

You would want to be in a rest position, so the frame has to be straight. Either the suit would have to be padded with a fake knee like most digigrade suits are, or you could have your own knee bent in that restposition while the frame is straight, which means a shorter frame with the leg padding/support molded to hold a part of the wieght when the frame is straight with the knee slightly bent. If you stand knees bent there is a rest position that is little effort just like straight legs...

Just a thought.

FYI pics are being posted on my account.

You should definitely fur the legs before the full suit, just because you can use it ASAP like that, as a half transformed werewolf or satire. All the more you're getting the wolf, you could do a v1.0 fur test...

That position is me standing straight, uses much less energy to stand like that, I can totally hunch over, bend knees and it looks more feral but then it's harder to balance while standing still. The more you bend the knees the further your center of balance is shifted and you need to hunch over to stay balanced. If I hadn't forgotten the 3/32 hex key I was planning to play around with the cable length a bit, good thing I didn't need the key to tighten anything.

We will have some creative padding to do to hide the mechanical bits. I would like to get these furred pretty soon, I have a little bit more testing and a couple things I want to add/try but I think these are getting pretty close to something I would be comfortable with putting in a suit.

That will up one quad suits, in cool, tech, and usability. You're making me want to get a scary werewolf suit to pretty on those lil furs.

Prey* dangit!!

How much for a set? o.-.o

I would still love to commission you for a set of these stilts.

BRO TAKE MY MONEY, I'D LOVE TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS; not just for cosplay but for contracting work too. (it'd really be a conversation starter!!)

Just wondering, because I just stumbled across this now: Did you make some progress during the last 5 years? :3

Cool and Vox wasn't one of those for the Rexeam fursuit I'm dooing the build on.

Plus I did some research on adding motor driven stabilizers to the feet to keep the hole thing stabled as heck using G cancers and gyros as well.
