ROBODUDE Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I cant wait to see what he does next !!! Amazing !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Everything John does is simply amazing, got a number of his works on our shelves at home. Even when he explains how he does things my brain still has trouble comprehending what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 That's a wonderful looking project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 John did again a wonderful 3D printed project. Today I picked up a small box from the postoffice that was waiting for me for i think 2 weeks or so :) when you take in consideration that all the parts are manually drawn in a cad program by John himself, he really did a very good job on this one. It may all look easy and simple but its absolutely not. not only you have to draw the parts but also have to think about how to print them. to draw the parts in cad and come close to the original is difficult. The result is really cool ! A very nice robot that was brought back to life with 3D tech..... I know John moved on already to the next project and that is the same for me here in the Dutch Caves.. In my vacation i had time enough to think about the next project... started with the first drawings today... more to come. Here is a picture of Foki #14 compared to an original one.

Lunik Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 This guy from the 1939 NY World's Fair, doesn't he look a lot like Foki? Or better say Foki looks like him. (pic is screenshot from 1939 promo movies) 'ELEKTRO, the Westinghouse-Moto-Man' from 1937/38, presented here in 1939. Seems to be a celebrity in the USA? I didn't know him.http://youtu.be/T35A3g_GvSg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalRobotHead Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Just a quick photo to show off the Foki that arrived yesterday, brilliant robot by John and as usual super quick shipping from USA to UK and that included the weekend and a UK public holiday on Monday when everything postal shuts down, if only others could do the same. Brilliant. Also many thanks to Ken for the box artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
