JewelryJelly Posted August 19 I'm in a bind, I just got a Sakura Shinguji on Y!J Auctions and while I was making sure all her parts were working, the shoulder joint cracked completely in half. I spent the past couple of days trying to glue it back together with JB Weld's specific plastic formula, but when it finally dried without tackiness and I tried putting the peg back in, snap. If there was a way that anyone could 3D scan the shoulder joints of a DDIII body, so that we could print out a replacement, that would be amazing. Unfortunately all I'm finding are torso parts and one adapter that lets you use an f3 torso with the DDIII hips, but I'm trying to stay away from this costing any more money than it already does. Or if someone has a spare DDIII shoulder plate I could buy off them, that would be even better. 🩷 Isabelle (SMD Melody Milk) 💛 Cherry (TinyFox 1/4 Rita) 🧡 Cody (MDD DDH-27 SW) 💚 Lily (MDD DDH-22 SW) 💜 Jessica (DDDy DDH-09 F) ❤️ Katherine (DDS DDH-06 SW)🖤Luna (DDP DDH-12 SW) 🌸DD Sakura Shinguji 💖 Dear SD Nao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galvatim Posted August 20 https://us.sk-coolcat.com/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=v_dd3&Category=382741 SK-CoolCat makes replacement shoulder parts. It'd be from Korea, so tariffs might be a thing, although they use EMS, so maybe not yet. Oh, they also make the metal reinforcement rings, which are highly recommended for most DDIII bodies.

JewelryJelly Posted August 20 Thanks, I ordered both but hopefully I don't get dinged too bad by tariffs. How fast do they get back to you on average? 🩷 Isabelle (SMD Melody Milk) 💛 Cherry (TinyFox 1/4 Rita) 🧡 Cody (MDD DDH-27 SW) 💚 Lily (MDD DDH-22 SW) 💜 Jessica (DDDy DDH-09 F) ❤️ Katherine (DDS DDH-06 SW)🖤Luna (DDP DDH-12 SW) 🌸DD Sakura Shinguji 💖 Dear SD Nao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JewelryJelly Posted September 2 Welp, I'm waiting on a refund from CoolCat. They're not shipping to the US for the time being. Thanks anyway. 🩷 Isabelle (SMD Melody Milk) 💛 Cherry (TinyFox 1/4 Rita) 🧡 Cody (MDD DDH-27 SW) 💚 Lily (MDD DDH-22 SW) 💜 Jessica (DDDy DDH-09 F) ❤️ Katherine (DDS DDH-06 SW)🖤Luna (DDP DDH-12 SW) 🌸DD Sakura Shinguji 💖 Dear SD Nao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galvatim Posted September 3 Sorry to hear that. Hopefully this tariff trash will be over with soon, and international shipping to the US will get back to normal. I cancelled a few AmiAmi orders, due to this mess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kemonomimicry Posted September 3 You can use tie-wraps (the nylon ones) to keep shoulder parts together, although I combined that with 2-part epoxy in the cracks on my Obitsu dolls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JewelryJelly Posted September 3 Sadly the zip tie idea won't work on these. There's no room for the zip tie to go completely around the socket to properly hold it in. My husband is going to try and glue it again and see if this time it'll hold. 1 🩷 Isabelle (SMD Melody Milk) 💛 Cherry (TinyFox 1/4 Rita) 🧡 Cody (MDD DDH-27 SW) 💚 Lily (MDD DDH-22 SW) 💜 Jessica (DDDy DDH-09 F) ❤️ Katherine (DDS DDH-06 SW)🖤Luna (DDP DDH-12 SW) 🌸DD Sakura Shinguji 💖 Dear SD Nao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JewelryJelly Posted September 4 My husband found 3d scans of the shoulder joints and printed them for me. It is working fine now.
