Floppy Boi - Articulated Robot Toy

cults3d

Articulated robot cat, joints are printed in place, no supports required. The moving parts have a clearance of 0.5mm, which should be sufficient on most printers. I suggest printing at 0.12mm layer height or lower, as that is what I designed for. I tried printing at 0.2mm but discovered that some joints fused. I designed it to be compact, but this also means some individual parts are quite small as well. My printer had no issues with this, though something to keep in mind when you print is over extrusion, stringing, and other factors can really affect the print-in-place joints. All parts should snap together seamlessly. A small spot of glue can help keep them in place - I used glue on foot pegs for example. Use the picture as a reference for assembly. IMPORTANT!!! In the picture, the peg on top of the arm is facing the wrong direction. This should actually be rotated 90 degrees if you want it to articulate properly. STEP file has been included in case you can't wait for me to make changes or if you just want to customize this design.
