Minion Re-Mix

thingiverse

Interested in building this robot but don't have a printer? I'm glad to print the parts for you at a discounted rate. Check out my 3D HUB @: Order a 3D Print This is a remix of the Minion Robot by MakerBot. I actually started with the "Minion Fixed" files from robotfanatic, as they would actually print. I've modified the "Knees" because I had a lot of trouble getting them to stay attached. With the Servo Control Horn attached and the full thickness of the Knee, the control horn screws were too short to engage enough threads to hold securely. Instead, I designed a Knee with an inset for the servo gear and eliminated the control horn. It's a tight fit, but if you feel for the gear teeth alignment, it provides a secure fit and the screw will engage enough to hold it tight. I've uploaded both the .stl file, and the 123D Design file. I plan to update the head as well, to put mounting posts for the circuit board. I'll upload them when I have them completed 12-31-2016 - Uploaded pictures with New Knees installed.
