$7.50Melvin - QT-1 GiftBot 5000

myminifactory

Because when gifting never gets old, it's time to add some extra cuteness to the mix. Funny enough, this idea first popped into my head during a dream; I had a dream about having a tiny robot that could open his head and store little treasures inside, so after dealing with all my administrative tasks running my small business, I decided to make him a reality. And thus QT-1, the Giftbot 5000, was born. I'll warn you right off: he's ridiculously cute but assembling him can be a real challenge. The body is relatively easy (you'll just need a short length of 1.75mm filament for the hinge), but be extremely cautious when putting together the locking mechanism; if superglue gets into it, you'll have to reprint the top part of the body altogether (I had to print the actual mechanism three times before getting it right). The legs are also a bit finicky, so make sure all support material is fully removed before assembling them. Other than that, it should be smooth sailing. If printing isn't your thing, QT-1 is available fully printed and assembled with different colored highlights in my Etsy store - www.etsy.com/uk/shop/enterprisexddesign
