Character Option K1 replacement Claw

thingiverse

The K1 robot was the first 'Villain' faced by the 4th Doctor, but t was only ever available in the Character Option toy series, as a buid-a figure. It was liable to lose three things. The disintigrator gun, the foot covers, (which Vargr has recreated in https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4461019) and.. the claws had a tendency to break off their thin soft plastic arms. I set about what I thought would be a relaxing afternoon recreating a claw. Then my brain started focusing on the semi cylinder in the middle of the claw.. hey... wouldn’t it be cool if it was.... articulated? Cue some return to the original footage and working out the claws were on some sort of wire cam, and that the cylinder was part of the joint. This is two identical claw parts with a 180flip, in a c shaped clip, with a trimmed pin as the central rod, printed in unbranded pLA on the mod-T at 0.5mm, painted up in poundland Matt silver, then rustoleum high shine silver.
