	If you bought one of the 3D robots that I made over the years you may find that the label is fading. Or you may find it rather uninspiring. I regret that I used cheap ink and that I lacked artistic ability. I've seen one or two on sale that look shabby. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	So here's a Print Your Own Label service.<strong> If you have a specific request just message me. </strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I'll start with the Erie Robot. This has slightly different arms but of course the original lacked arms.

	The what? The Granatoid Robot from Fireball XL5 and from Supercar. A Gerry Anderson classic, and my latest 3D project.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://alphadrome.net/forums/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" width="640" data-embed-src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8G-GSTpmkcw?rel=0&amp;start=165"></iframe>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Well he was an interesting project while I waited for the Scoops robots to print. The Scoops are all at the assembly/painting/wiring stage so I finally put the Granatoid on the printer. Once more I'm amazed by the technology. The 12" tall robot has a marionette structure but I've glued him firmly so he's free standing. In the TV episode his eyes flicker, so there's a battery in the chest and lights in the head. I painted him chrome - a serious miscalculation because it's the crappiest paint to work with, and silver would have looked very similar.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	So here he is. Still plenty of tweaking to do yet but he looks right. The mouth is a modern circuit boad, but I'll print a more traditional 1960s one. The finish needs more work, but I just wanted to see how it would fit together. Will he walk? No bloody chance!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Now, it's time to find out how these sound chips work.

	Dear Alphadromers.  We will be releasing a new line of 3D printed Robots this year.  The first will be "ROBOTEL".  I hope you like him?   I am working with an engineer who has mastered an amazingly sturdy smooth high print quality.  All of our mechanisms are designed from scratch to motorize our Robots.  ROBOTEL will walk like the original with pin walking action and spinning antenna.  This is the first print and I will have final print and video soon.  Please contact us at jay.robotisland@gmail.com to place your order since we are only producing 24 pieces.   Also, if anyone wants to create a unique art-box for him feel free to contact me as well.   Thanks, Jay
