    1. Hi there, sorry for the trouble but thank you for your time in advance.

      I am nearly completed with my 3d model, however I am not finding a "standard" in how to tackle the neck hole and then what to do about the opening, whether or not i should do a bar across the inside of the head to attach string to, or how to even begin a "standard shape" for an S hook. Could someone please help me with this? I have figured out the magnet system for the headcap, and this is the last thing I need but cannot find anything anywhere.

      Again, thank you so much for your time whoever answers, ANYTHING, any direction, will help!

      This is a top down of the hollowed head

    2. Hi! I just finished printing my BJD's head! I use Blender so i'm not sure if this will help but it worked for me!

      I used a mesh that would be the inside of the head, this mesh had some other meshes before and i applied the Booleans modifier first, then i divided the head into the face and the head cap using a cube then booleans again for both parts, then i applied the inside of the heads' booleans, pretty much i had to imagine the shape that the mesh would have if it wasn't a hole, then i made the holes for the magnets and for the S hook to lock in place using a cylinder but that could've been done better, anyways, there's the end result, I already printed it and the head looks great! It took me forever to figure it out :atremblin
