Morbius Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 John, thank you for the opportunity for this incredible (as usual) robot...after much thought I'll have to pass this time around, thank you. Someone will take my place I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 No problem Morbius, I am just looking for a head count. This project will take all year most likely do to print times of the 25 parts and the fact that I like to do other things from time to time.So who know you may be in later on.

robothut Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 In trying to keep track of how long it takes to 3d print the parts for one robot I am printing and keeping track of the build files. This first picture is a print of 7 parts and the time they require too print is 1 hour 15 minuets.. I will try and document the rest of the build the same way. The parts are the beer bottle, the 2 arm claws, the bottle claw, the servo bottle arm, the servo mount for the bottle arm and the battery box back plate "it also holds the chest door artwork".

robert Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Fantastic John! Ad me to the list. I would love the prototype, but so would many others. Maybe you need a lottery? However you decide put me down for both or either! OOPS! after more careful reading I see you have set up a drawing for the prototype. Please add me!

robothut Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Updated list.No money up front but it does help to know how many are interested in having one, so when I order parts I can get the best price. So add your name to this list if you think you might want one.robot polishing his rocketratchetRangerchilliAndymanI RobotJoe K.Nick in NYJonydroidBrianUltrarobotmanrobobobMetalRobotHeadrobozkennetzelTHUNDERfestivalrobertElectric Robot and SonAnd here are two feet and 2 servo gears that just finnished printing at 3 hours and 28 minuets.

Andyman Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 So...the more complex the part, the more print time? I'm still having a hard time accepting that a 3D printer made those gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Andy it made them just as you see them, trust me. At first I thought I might have to make the large gear on the foot a separate file and lay it down like the smaller servo gear, Or print it vertically with lots of supports. But with just the few break a way supports you see in the picture the printer is able to print the large gear as part of the foot just as you see it. Amazing ! Any way I am still grouping up the parts and timeing out the build time,. I should have more to post today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 This 3d printing is just brilliant. You have taken to it like a duck to water John. Outstanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothut Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 OK B9 and I had the drawing for the winner "person that can buy it " of the Alpha-Rama prototype robot. You tube link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFavfOmUHCA&feature=youtu.beYes I put in the names in a Lost in Space hat and drew the winner with a robot claw. The papers were mixed up before they were dumped in the hat and they are used paper in that they had some printing on them but only my handwriting is what counts.So check to see if your the winner ! if you fail to meet your obligation's as the chosen one a second drawing will be held.
