What do you guys use to join the shells together? Are those printed parts? not clear, in some pics lit looks like it, in others it looks like screws.

Very Cool Pablo! If you ever get a chance to upload a high poly count version it would be awesome. Those surfaces could print very smooth instead of low res.

This is awesome!

Just finished my Mark II for my nephew. Has anyone successfully printed the fingers with a 0.5mm nozzle? I ended up glueing mine on since I couldn't get them to print correctly.

Great job on this Pablo. Can we expect an encore? Maybe a friend for Mark II? :-P

Hi there!

Nice design ! May I put mark II pictures on my website !

Just completed printing the Mark II. It's freaking awesome. Couple of notes though the pins that hold the body parts together need a wider gap between the pins so they can compress to fit through the holes. I used my dremel to to widen the gaps.

Also you'll need one more joint pin than is on the plate to connect everything together. I'm going to post my stand alone pin stl as a derivative so others can print that too.

The plate that has the ball joints for the arms and legs needs one more ball pin for the neck. Unless I'm missing it somewhere else.

Love the design of your Mark II!!

I'm printing your model for the moment... I have redesigned the fingers as well, my Huxley didn't do well with the .2 parts. :) I'll be posting pictures later on when all parts are done.. Basically I print one tray / day (I don't have much time with my printer for the moment). Question: What part is used to connect the head to the body? Is it the same as the ones for the arms and legs? If that's the case one joint part are missing on the joints tray. :) I also recommend to shorten the pins by maybe 1mm... The parts "wiggle" a little now when they are snapped together.

Made one scaled down a little. Run on my Objet Connex 500 printer. Primed and painted with metalizer paint then buffed to a shine. Great design!

I have printed all the robot except the fingers of hand. Robot assembled! Look very great!

printed out about 2/3 of the parts, running into significant problems with clearance.

you need to leave a ~0.25mm gap between most of the parts, otherwise they just won't fit together. i had to drill out the pin holes in the head to get the pins in, but the joint has no chance. i already snapped one joint in half just doing some test friction movement! (joints also need to be print
ed sideways imo)

the pins themselves are sort of workable, but the edge that sticks out (and grabs onto the inside of the object it's pinning to) might have to be a lot shorter, or rather the narrow section in the middle of the pin might need to be longer; otherwise the pin just won't compress enou
gh to insert properly.

hope you have time to adjust the pin design and all the tolerances... huge potential for an awesome printable + posable model here!!

I feel you on the dreaming of having a 3d printer, fortunately im getting one this weekend from someone selling his! I'm super excited and this is going to be one of my first prints! (soon as im done with the calibrations)

I really like your bot, gonna print him up when I have some free time. Best of luck in the competition!! I'm guessing yours will be at least a finalist :)

just printed the hands at 0.4x scale :) snaps together pretty well!

Wow, I just sliced the hands and was debating whether to print because of the thumb overhang...there's a big jump that would need cleanup.

How'd did your hands print? Can you attach a pic?

I really like the ball joints but I have to ask if you left any clearance on the moving parts. I use 0.5mm clearance for moving parts and 0.25mm for snap together parts. :)

Oh yeah so scale them 0.393700787 and you will end up with a 6cm head.

Oh, He's cute.

Nice work.
