This is a remix from a print on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:126671). For the original model I after a few test prints I saw that most of the dimensions were incorrect or too loose. Also the text was best suited for long sentences, not short words/names.
WHAT ARE THE ROBOTS FEATURES?
- Detachable and rotatable head
- Movable arms (spin around the X - axis)
- Custom text on one side, hexagon-grid on the other side (can be used as a display case).
- Robot can be removed from its base!
EDITS MADE FROM ORIGINAL MODEL
- Head has a tighter fit w/ a shorter base height.
- Arms holes have been increased in diameter.
- Added a hexagon grid pattern on the back side, reduces weight and allows you to put a trinket inside (like a small display cage)!
- Edited the font/text placement settings to be better suited for short phrases/nouns
- Better tolerances/dimensions for the legs
- Better tolerances/dimensions for the base, some height changes
WHATS IN THE FILES?
STLs
- AndroidPreviewAssembled.stl - Shows what a COMPLETE model looks like. This is NOT PRINTABLE.
- Head.stl - Contains the Android head
- Arm.stl - Contains a SINGLE Android arm (you will need to print two).
- Body.stl - Contains a pre-configured Android body (text = “Android OS”)
- Leg.stl - Contains a SINGLE Android leg (you will need to print two).
- Base.stl - Contains the base for where Android may be plugged into
GCODE - Some pre-made files are given which allow you to bulk print in batches! ALL gcode files are currently exported using PrusaSlicer w/ settings for the Prusa MK3S+.
EASIEST WAY TO PRINT
Print out the file called “FullKit”. It contains the following:
- 1 Head
- 1 Base
- 2 Arms
- 2 Legs
Print out the “Body”.
When attaching the arms, you will need to use a knife or some sandpaper to slightly increase the hole diameter. I did not increase it in the scad file directly because it was too loose. A few circles with a file/sandpaper/knife edge will do the trick.
FILE NAMING SCHEME
${ModelName}_X${Count}_T${Days}.${Hours}.${Minutes}_${Material}${Material.Grams}.gcode
ie. Arm_X2_T0.1.45_PLA12.gcode
HOW TO CUSTOMIZE
- Install OpenSCAD
- Install the custom “Write.scad” file to the “write” library for OpenSCAD. For example on MacOS this would be:
/home/${user}/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries/write/Write.scad - Install the custom “Letters.dxf” file to the “write” library for OpenSCAD. For example on MacOS this would be:
/home/${user}/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries/write/Letters.dxf - Load up the “Android.scad" file in OpenSCAD and read the comments for how to edit. You should only really need to edit the following lines:
- #10 - Render Quality
- #19 - Text 1 line
- #30 - Text 2 line
WHAT DID I PRINT?
I ended up printing about 30+ of these for my current work colleagues! I customized each one with the person's name. I printed the following colors:
- Silk Gold
- Matte White
- Matte Pink
- Matte Red
- Shiny Blue
- Matte Green
- Shiny Purple
- Shiny Mixed Red/Blue
I cannot post too many pictures, because it contains each person's name, so for privacy reasons I have only posted one printed pic of the hexagon grid
