Moving Hexagon Print in place robot!

thingiverse

This is a hexagon shaped print in place robot! Everything moves - the arms, legs and head! When printed, it's strong and won't break easily. The joints work fine on most printers, however they might not work if your printer isn't calibrated properly or just doesn't have a very good tolerance. It was designed in fusion 360 which you can find here: http://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview The model isn't from anything in particular but looks quite cool as decoration or just a toy! Thanks for printing and I hope you enjoy that. If you are having an issue where the arms keep falling over not printing the arm's first layer, re-download the model as it has now been fixed. Instructions: Can be printed full size or bigger (if you are printing at normal size, and the joints are all welded, scale it up and try again), however it might not work if you scale it down too far. Once printed, use a craft knife or something with a sharp, flat edge to gently take it off the build plate. The arms and legs might need to be pushed a little but should then snap into place and start moving. If you print in PLA plastic then you should file or sand the top of the column that connects the head to the body, so that it fits into the hole underneath the head. This happens because of PLA shrinking so much, but it might also happen with ABS. Can be printed in any material but it probably won't work with flexible filament.
