Robot

In my initial solo project, I crafted a blue robot using MakerBot. To design it, I utilized Inventor and created individual pieces including the body, head, two legs, and two arms. The body dimensions were 0.75 inches by 1.5 inches by 0.5 inches with a neck shape extrusion of 0.3 inches in diameter. Proportional to the body, I designed the arms and legs. For the head, I created a rectangle measuring 1.2 inches by 0.9 inches, extruding it 0.6 inches, and added two circles with 0.1-inch radius and an inward-extruded rectangular mouth of 0.5 inches. The files were saved as .ipt and .stl; the STL files were transferred to the Thing-O-Matic's computer via a flash drive. Printing all parts took approximately an hour and 45 minutes. Finally, I assembled the robot using acrylic glue for the joints.
