Fab365 robot model "B"

[robothut]

Here is the new fab365 model B, that prints flat as 1 piece, then you fold together. The wheels on the bottom roll, the arms move and the body turns and the brain rotates. They provide a dome STL so I gave it a shot in polysmooth clear. I do not care for the short legs in this design so have modified the STL to have longer leg parts. Its printing now, we will see how that looks.

Here is a link to video on how it folds together by Fab365.

Really Cool John-are you thinking of a powered version like your other folding bots?

Very nice. Me being the Lost in Space robot fan, I really like it.

I still am amazed that it prints out ready to go. Wheels, arms and everything.

Here is a picture of the robot at 140 % scale and with longer legs. I modified the original stl file by cutting and duplicating 2 of its leg parts, giving it 6 leg parts instead of 2. I think it looks a lot better. Printing a dome for it now.

Looks great.

OK here is the domed version.

Also I am working on a how to mod STL files video, it is uploading right now to you tube. will add a link once its done.

I agree John--The taller version looks better (in my opinion!)
