Wall-E Robot - Fully 3D Printed

myminifactory

This is the video showcasing Wall-E, so watch it now for more information and to see it in action. That's right! It's finally time for Wall-E - this semi-functional robot I created in Tinkercad, printed out on my Robo3D and painted by my wife using spray painting, airbrush painting and brush painting techniques. I have links to the files for Wall-E listed below. Please note that there are two versions of some files: electronic and non-electronic. The only two files with multiple versions are the neck files and the leg bracket files - these files have "Non Electric" in the file name so they're easy to spot. In the electronic version of Wall-E, there are 43 individual files, 84 main parts, 72 treads, and 144 pins needed. So that's a total of 300 individual parts that need to be printed. This is a list of the electronics components I used: Sub Micro Servo (Neck/Head), DC Motors in a Micro Servo Body (Drive Motors). However, be aware that the DC motors I chose do not work - they don't have enough torque to drive him. If you want to try to make this robot work, you'll need to redesign the legs/wheel mounts or find a really high torque motor that is in a micro servo casing. To control the whole thing, an Arduino Uno and a bluetooth chip are required, as well as a speaker to have him make noises. But these components are not specifically fitted in here, so as long as you can fit them in the body, you'll be good. You can use your favorite components for this. I also used #8 ½ inch screws and nuts to put him together and parts are fitted for these screws specifically. You'll need roughly 30 screws for this - most of the time the screws will screw right into the plastic and you won't need the nuts, but most places have the ability to insert nuts if needed. Also, some of the STLs will need to be printed more than once to complete Wall-E, so I've put the quantity needed in the STL file name. I really hope you enjoyed this project - let me know what you thought!
