Floppy Boi - Articulated Robot Toy

thingiverse

Articulated robot cat designed with print-in-place joints that don't require supports. Moving parts have a clearance of 0.5mm, which should be suitable for most printers. I recommend printing at a layer height of 0.12mm or lower, as this is the intended design specification. Printing at 0.2mm resulted in fused joints. The small size of the robot cat means that some individual parts are quite tiny as well. My printer had no issues with this, but it's worth noting when printing to avoid problems like over-extrusion and stringing, which can affect print-in-place joints. All parts should fit together smoothly, with a small amount of glue helping to keep them in place - I used glue on foot pegs for example. Some future updates include: Uploading individual parts, rather than having everything printed as one piece. Unfortunately, Fusion 360 doesn't offer an easy way to export groups, so this will take some time. Adding larger size options - I'll need to adjust the tolerances accordingly, but a bigger robot cat could be fun. Including detailed build instructions - for now, use the picture as reference. Note that in the picture, the peg on the top of the arm is facing the wrong direction and should be rotated for proper articulation. A STEP file has been included if you can't wait for these changes or want to customize the design.
