Life Sized JoelBot

prusaprinters

<p>I want to make a life sized JoelBot to present to Joel at MRRF next year, similar to the life-sized Rick from Rick and Morty. By my calculations, Joel is approximately 1854mm tall.</p> <p>I plan on printing all the parts with the PLA I have and sand and painting it, unless proto-pasta or matterhackers wants to send me 5kg of blue filament (high-five blue would be awesome). If you would like to contribute filament or printer time to this cause (it will be shipped to MRRF 2018) please PM me or comment.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Prusa Mk2</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>5%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>This is by far the biggest print I'll ever do so filament supply is an issue.</p> <p>I broke this down so that all the parts will fit within the build volume of the Prusa i3 Mk2. The biggest piece is less than 240mm x 200mm x 150mm. There are 39 pieces total, I labeled them by the anatomical names so it's easier to follow.</p> <p>I have not sliced and estimated filament cost or time yet, I'm imagining several hundred hours and at least 5 spools will be needed. I will probably keep these parts at 3 perimeters and 5% infill to keep it light.</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p>I would recommend drilling a hole through each piece and using a dowel rod all the way through, especially if standing him up on a platform, by itself it will probably break or need to be propped up because of the weight distribution, glue, and layer weaknesses.</p> </p></p></p> Category: Sculptures
