Creating print-in-place figures can be surprisingly simple once you know what joints to create. In this activity we use a Minecraft figure as a base and make it print-in-place using the following joints:

• Simple hinge joints for the legs
• Simple pivot joints for the arms
• Snap fit pivot for the neck/head
