roboz Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I've had both shades so I know they exist Similar to the Busy Cart Robot you wouldn't notice unless you have them side by side but it's pronounced & intentional for whatever reason ( hard to see in pics but including an image) The grey one awesome but the starburst eyes are a key feature to lose IMO & not too keen on the red mouth , just my opinion Brian try polysmooth , you don't need the chamber to vaporize the parts An alcohol spray works & gives it a gloss plus the final product seems both stronger & more flexible John can chime in about it . Pricey but in the right circumstances looks a wee bit nicer than standard PLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 The polysmooth is also less brittle than PLA. It bends more like styrene plastic once treated , so is more durable. But if you need a ridged part then print in PETG or PLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Sold for $3,900.00 did anyone from here win this cool Mighty 8!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I was thinking of getting in - still a good price and I have things I could sell to make at least most of it back, but for now, better to keep saving - just not the right time. Has anyone got a movie of what it looks like operating? I've actually never seen one work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBODUDE Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hi David--John Rigg (robothut) has a video of a repair he did on one and he shows it in action-its posted here on Alphadrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I'll try finding it. I just googled it and several movies turn up on youtube, including one of John's . Pretty wonderful! I never connected the reason for the eye design until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kirk Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Oh yes, there it is. That's the one I found when I googled it, along with one other. It's just as nice as I'd hoped. Maybe someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBODUDE Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hey Brian !! Anymore thoughts on a 3D printed version of these babies??? You already have 1 confirmed sale(ME!!!) if you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Rich, I'm a physical wreck from making the Diamond Planets. I love the design stage but I can't say that I enjoy the mass production phase. I have a robot I started about six months ago that needs finishing. It's a lovely little B Movie project that will entertain me. After that I'll take a quiet look at the Robot 8 files. I'd like to experiment with new techniques like tinplate litho and resin printing.
