Hey, wanna wipe out humanity? Bender is a work in progress and I mentioned it in the description, so help me create a suite of accessories if possible. Make something and tag it as a remix! I've included an STL file called "handcut" that will make holes for fingers to grab(don't print it, un-manifold on purpose). Sink it near the bottom of the cylinders and use Boolean operations. Smaller parts and those with minimal footprints could benefit from a brim. For me, these were: cigar, beam, antennae. All other pieces seem to stand on their own. Some objects have numbers after their names. These indicate how many of each piece you'll need to print for one complete model. If you're painting the piece, you can print multiple eyes for different expressions. The body took the longest time to figure out. I made it with small tabs at the top and bottom of the door that will need to be cut through with a blade. I made mine serrated and included a photo to illustrate. I had parts of the door fuse due to printer settings, so if that happens for you, work with the serrated blade to open it up. After cutting all around the door, gently pry it open to loosen the hinges. Clean up around the armholes and tabs on the inside with a blade so the tabs can be pressed and moved slightly. To assemble the shoulders, press one tab(there are 2) and insert the shoulder into the socket at the same time. The ridges in front and back both need to be set completely into the ring on the shoulder. This will allow the shoulder to rotate with a little tension. Attach four links to one shoulder to make an arm. The link2 pieces are the first ones to attach to the bottom of the body for legs as they're angled slightly. Attach five links to this to form one leg. If the links don't fit together with a little push, run a blade around the inside hole of the link to loosen it up. Links and hands can be printed with a high infill number to make them tougher. The foot has a hole in the bottom that will fit rare earth magnets if you want to glue one in.
