Slip-On Plastic Forearm for the RoboNova-1 BiPedal Robot Free 3D print model

I'm repositioning this forearm to slide over the existing one, and it can be held in place temporarily with a small amount of rubber cement or another non-permanent adhesive that's easy to remove. To find 1mm thick aluminum/alloy part files, I'll access the free online library at 3dcontentcentral.com/Search.aspx?arg=wperko - a collection of designs created by me and available for anyone to use. These files can be imported into the Microsoft Robotics Studio, which is another completely free PC software tool that allows users to manipulate digital models. Unfortunately, I don't know the strengths or tolerances of MakerBot printing materials, so I'm dependent on getting my hands on a MakerBot to refine and adjust my sketches for optimal performance. To assist those who may struggle with designing overhanging structures, I've included an alternate design that can be printed using a flat configuration - this should be suitable for MakerBots. As a side note, designers familiar with SolidWorks will need to adjust the orientation of their designs by rotating them 90 degrees when working with MakerBot files.
