Description

The ED-209 Enforcement Droid.
Precursor to the Robocop series, these bots were a failed line of police droids released by the Omni Consumer Products corp.

Adapted from a model found on Google's 3D Warehouse
sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=407f587a61961dee3f217b945a063dd2&prevstart=0
Process: export the STL from Sketchup (it only gives me DAE as a valid filetype, but that works) then convert the DAE to STL in Meshlab, and then fix the file in Netfabb.
This works for direct conversions; if you want to edit the file in 3DSMAX or Maya, output to Obj in Meshlab and you should be able to open the Obj anywhere.

Instructions

Print with support.

Has lots of support (see pic number 2 in 'made it') some of the smaller structures didn't print correctly but I'm not savvy enough to know how to fix them. Still love it :)

Should I print with full support or just exterior supports?

Full support. I've been intending to rework the mesh into parts and integrate Tony Buser's connectors to make it poseable... let's see how long I procrastinate.

I Love the ED-209 and I just flattered you as well. Great design so what's next?? T-800?

Thanks! Actually, I have been working on a Terminator for some time now over on Endobuilders, and the promise of rapid prototyping is what drove me to learn 3D modeling in the first place. I think large build envelopes like the Ultimaker and Reprap Mondo may help with such projects in the future. Modeling on the desktop is a whole lot less messy than sanding down balsa

It appears that the legs and the body are two separate pieces. It came apart cleanly as I removed the support material. There is a small gap between the two pieces.

It printed pretty well though. I'm still cleaning it up...

Awesome!

There are lots of stl export plugins for Sketchup, do a Google search for "sketchup stl export". With one of these you do not have to go via Meshlab (if you don't wan't to of course).

Wonder if I can make it a into a poseable toy for my boy... he needs more robot themed toys...

Not a bad idea. I think it could be made into an action figure by splitting off the joints and mashing them up with http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...
