Ranger Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Postie has just been and I now own the prototype Granatoid and Humanoid robots! They are great, both bigger than you imagine them to be. I have had the humanoid walking and he walks fine. I need to get another battery for the lights, I will post a photo of it lit up later. I know, I must do something about the background in my pics! 🤖 Thanks Brian!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Glad you like them, Paul. Once I get the Scoops posted (nearly finished - honest!) I'll be working on these to refine them. They'll be slightly smaller and the print quality ought to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Paul, get a decent background. A pair of your old underpants would be an improvement on that kitchen chair you're using. Gosh, I just see lots of work to do. The Granatoid is literally the first print, straight from design to machine. The Flashforge Dreamer is so reliable now that I can just leave it on for 24 hours unattended and I don't need to produce scores of test runs. (I'm awash with Scoops limbs and torsos; it's like a serial murderer's den). On a production piece there would be sanding and tweaking, but this was just intended to get a feel for issues of scale and fit On both robots the rivets have been well defined but they have created a strange pattern of horizontal lines during the printing stage. I think I can eliminate those. The joints on the Granatoid are ill-fitting at the moment but I've tweaked them and they should be snug. That chrome paint is a dog. The more I look, the more I see that needs attention. The first task is to reduce the height to a more manageable 8". I've finally assembled and calibrated the new Prusa printer. My *&%$@@! language degenerated during the lengthy process but I got there in the end. Now its busy turning out its first piece, a reel holder for bigger reels of plastic. I love the notion of 3D printing that you print the parts you need for your printer. Perpetual motion. I'll run the new Granatoid through on a fancy high setting and we'll see if there's an improvement. Meanwhile I've ordered a sound chip to give it a voice. "GET THOSE SCOOPS FINISHED, Mr Hayes." Yes, I will, I promise, honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Thanks guys. They are really great robots and the production version will be amazing....don't forget I want 1 of those too Brian! Yes, I will do something about the background in my photos....eventually. It's ok for you retired guys with all this time on your hands. Right, just got a battery. Let's test these floodlights out on the humanoid robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
