roboz Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Been meaning to post about this project but it picked up some legs on facebook so didn't want it to overwhelm the summer ( which it did anyway ) This was based on a design by Henk & the files were modeled by Brian Despite some issues Managed to get 12 completed plus a prototype (#2 ) Brian Made the first Prototype These have a 3D lenticular scene in the chest Protoype #2 plus #3 & #4 have a vintage lenticular scene The 2 protoypes have arm covers & Prototype 2 has hand painted Chrome Claws & glued on Shoulder buttons The 12 production versions have shoulder buttons held on by adhesive putty Print time was about 20 hours , then painting , clear coat , grinding for fit , custom box & decals took about 3-4 days to get a completed unit Last pic is the first prototype So we have Prototype 1 ( which I believe is in Rangers collection & made by Brian ) Prototype 2 ( video on youtube ) #1 - Roboz done in a color change paint #2 - Brian done in a color change paint #3 - Steve #4 - Marcy #5 - Gernot #6 - Marco #7 - Claus #8 - Kirk #9 - Allie #10- Mark #11-Robert #12- Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboz Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Thanks for the kind remarks Tinplate Unfortunately the project is ended Actually made more than I had expected MY printer needs its PEI sheet replaced & that's a big job , I ended up with a few extra heads just to finish the filamet but everything is put away Don't have any more donor robots or filament You can always contact someone that has one & ask if they are willing to part with theirs There were alot of issues with the mech binding on it's own right of of the box so don't plan to revisit this The donor robots themselves are sturdy enough but too inconsistent & required some grinding of a few parts to get good clearances plus lots of hand triming, glueing making the boxes etc. The lenticular image because of it's thickness also needed lots of finessing to get the chest frame to fit properly For a small robot it took a ton of time....next time I'll leave it to the professionals On a side note I love adding lenticular scenes to a robot someone sent me a link to this software Considering the possbility of making entire lenticular boxes at least the covers Lenticular Tool Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul I may have a 1 or 2 leftover Art pieces for the box , if you want to cover postage I'll mount it on chipboard if I have any left but leave it up to you to cut it etc & build the bottom Brian you can move this thread over to the 3D printed section if you prefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
