Iron Man Remixed

thingiverse

My remixed and upsized Iron Man Mark I (originally by JarvisWoo). This finished model is 1 meter high, weighs about 10kg, used over 2500 meters of filament and was about 1000 hours of printing. I have rescaled all of the files and added them here. Many have been modified, some have been blended together with other parts, some I have changed completely and there are a number of new parts. Pieces of the arc reactor I modified from somewhere else but cannot remember whose design it was. If I find out I will update and link to it. The model is built around a frame using 8mm and 6mm threaded steel rods. The main ones run from the feet up to the shoulders with brackets fixed at different places to support the other parts. The main supports being the waist (bolts run from outside the upper thighs right through to an internal bracket) you'll see the bolt holes so not hard to figure out. The others are bolts running from the upper arms through to the shoulders and a central bolt supporting the helmet. I melted 8mm bolts into the base of the boots and added extra strength with epoxy resin to support the main rods. The rest of the parts have bolts, washers and spring washers each side of all brackets to hold everything in place. I also added bolts through the knees, again you'll see the bolt holes in the different parts. The backpack is modified so that the magneto spins. There is space inside the main part to take a stepper motor: 28BYJ-48 5v is the one I used. The switch on the left arm, backpack and arc reactor are all lit with LEDs. Everything is controlled by an Arduino Uno with a 10,000 mAh battery pack with 2 5v USB outlets. This will run everything for about 24 hours and a USB charge cable is concealed with the other cabling for recharging. The sketch was a simple one that runs the stepper motor clockwise continually at a speed of about 80. Don't forget your resistors for the LEDs. I used a mixture of colours so you'll need to match to whatever you use. The electronics are all seated inside the chest. 2 switches on the back left shoulder control power to everything. 1 for the Arduino, 1 for everything else. I sliced the USB power leads open and remade them to be switchable. There's also space in the flamethrowers to add extra LEDs. I have some flame effect orange ones and printed transparent flame models but didn't add them in the end. The inside of the arc reactor, switch on the left arm and flames if you use them are all printed in transparent PLA. The big red button was an off the shelf one that I just liked the look of... Cables and wiring were a mix of coaxial cable, air compressor tubing, old cables I had lying around, and wiring stripped from a couple of power supplies. Fixings were a mix of bolts: M3 20mm to 50mm M6 and M8 25mm to 150mm, Plus 6mm and 8mm steel threaded rods in 1-meter lengths, M6 and M8 flat washers and spring washers. Printed on a Geeetech A10T and a Voxelab Aquila. Both with 220mmx220mm beds. Most printed at 0.2mm, the backpack and parts I printed at 0.15mm. Parts that held large bolts at 100% infill, most of the rest at 50%. A mixture of PLA I needed to use up and PLA+. Painting was done with a few coats of filler primer, some sanding, gloss black topcoat, chrome topcoat then a coat of varnish to break the chrome back down a bit. The helmet was a lot of filler and sanding to get a hand forged look with the same paint coats but no varnish. Most of the other painting and weathering was by hand with acrylics, paint pens and water colours. Enjoy.
