Some Build tips:

Printing in PLA Glow makes for a tachikoma closer to the cloud AI Tachikoma cyber warriors featured in GITS SAC 2nd GIG
I used sanding then a gloss top coat in my example models, which gave a nice shine.

Printing the claws can be tricky, I would recommend always printing separately.

If ball joints are too tight to pop together, then sand outer edge of female, if too tight to rotate but in position then sand/polish male (if a joint is tight, you can often move it around gently until it loosens up), if ball is too loose in socket apply some spray on top coat/varnish to inside female section.
