Transformers Earthspark - Mandroid (Hardtop) Arm

thingiverse

I've been meaning to post this for a while but waited til I could get it tested (thank you kieliah2) to make sure it works. The robot arms that come with the build-a-figure Mandroid are nice, but they have no articulation beyond the balljoint they use to connect to the figure. I made my best approximation of Hardtop's design, but added a balljoint elbow and a wrist swivel, aaand figured I'd also give an open hand option since the hand uses a 5mm peg. The assembly is simple and shown in the second image, just using filament (or a 1.75mm pin for the shoulder joint pin, then gluing the shoulder armor and forearm onto the joint parts - you may wanna do the latter afterwards so that you can more easily add the pin. Also, I designed this with the idea of future-proofing other arms. I'd like to make Brawl's, I just need good references. The generic one included in the build-a-figure set is not essential to me, but considered. If you wanna make another Hardtop arm, you just need to mirror the forearm and hand parts in your print program. Everything else is able to be used without mirroring.
