Robby the Robot

This is a 1:9 scale replica of Robby the Robot, who first appeared on the big screen in the 1956 science fiction classic "Forbidden Planet". He went on to star in numerous other films and TV shows. Check out this link for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robby_the_Robot The model measures around 240mm (9.5 inches) tall when fully assembled. You'll need some glue to put it together, and a bit of paint can add some extra details. I didn't design this model myself, but it's been floating around the internet for years, so I decided to give it a new life as a 3D-printable kit. I used an OBJ mesh from Foundation 3D, uploaded by Starbase1, which you can find here: http://www.foundation3d.com/index.php?categoryid=38&p13_sectionid=1&p13_fileid=1792 The arms are designed to fit snugly into the sockets, allowing you to change the pose. To avoid damaging them, it's best not to glue the arms in place. I used translucent blue PLA for the "voice light" and clear PLA for the dome, while the rest of the model is made from silver metallic PLA. Keep in mind that the actual robot has a darker metallic color, so you may want to adjust your build accordingly.
