Articulated Robot Devil Figure from Futurama

thingiverse

I am an enthusiastic fan of Futurama, but so far I have only seen numerous Bender designs on Thingiverse - hardly any other robots are in sight! So I decided to create my own robot, one that would reign supreme over the Robot Hell! I recently spent some time using Solidworks, a 3D CAD software, and put it through its paces to see if I could work at an incredible speed. Unfortunately, the process took much longer than expected - instead of completing it within 2 hours as I had anticipated, I ended up working on it for a substantial 4.5 hours. As I was designing this particular robot, my main goal was to investigate other methods of creating articulated joints besides traditional ball joints. The frustration caused by these parts consistently falling off every time is real! To achieve more stability, I introduced iron wires into the arms, legs, and spine - and the result exceeded all my expectations. To my surprise, even without support from its tail, this robot can maintain its balance and stand steadily on its own! I am thrilled to share my Robot Devil creation with you; enjoy it! Below, you'll find some useful instructions to help you assemble this intricate model. **Instructions** Part list: [Head]: * Head * Chin * Eye2 (white) * Horn2 (white) * Teeth (white) [Body]: * Neck * Body * Universal connector as waist * Hip * Tail tip (iron wire as tail) [Arms]: * Universal connector6 * Hands [Legs]: * Universal connector6 * Feet Instructions: Every component requires braiding with an iron wire of the correct length. To ensure a secure fit, bend the end of each wire into a 'u' shape to increase its diameter and then firmly attach it using superglue.
