<p><em>Edit: 2020-06-28</em>: The fore-arm shin model was 1mm larger than it should have been (again), this would have made them a touch bigger when folded up. I've also added an STL of the body without supports so you can do your own in PrusaSlicer.</p> <p>Finally, added a 1mm fillet along all the exposed edges cause they were <strong>sharp</strong>.</p> <p><em>Edit: 2018-04-22</em>: Honestly this should be the last time I change the foot. It's 9.5mm high but I shorted it from the back 0.5mm. Will test out shortly for good fit.</p> <p><em>Edit: 2018-04-18</em>: Shortened the foot from 10mm to 9mm (from the short edge). I noticed it was just a little too large. I don't think it affects it too much but was just annoying me. I may change it to 9.5mm if the change is too much.</p> <p><em>Edit: 2018-04-03</em>: Added breakaway supports to the body part so now you can just print it without supports.</p> <p><em>Edit: 2018-03-28</em>: Quick update after printing. Forearm/shin piece was about 1mm too long, and I put the hole in the wrong place on the foot (centered on the base instead of the top).</p> <p>If you downloaded it before its worth downloading those two updated STL files.</p> <p>When I get a chance I'll try my hand and putting some supports into the body part, as its the only one that will need it.</p> <p>Wife got me a cube robot toy, which is a bunch of wooden blocks held together by string.</p> <p>Have recreated it in Fusion 360 and it looks like it prints pretty well.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Supports are only really needed on the body due to the amount of cross sections. No need for supports anywhere now. Everything else is pretty good as loaded.</p> <h3> Post-Printing</h3> <p>Once its all printed, get some strong elastic and thread it through. You'll need 4 lengths.</p> <ul> <li>From left hand, through body to right hand</li> <li>From top of head to uh, crotch</li> <li><p>From top of each leg to bottom of feet<br/> Tie a knot in one end, pull it tight at the other end (you need to get it as tight as you can get it) and clamp it. Tie the other knot, unclamp it and let the knot fall back into the hole.</p> <p>It will fold back into a cube, the feet will need a bit of effort to get them around in the right orientation.</p> </li> </ul>
