Zaku

thingiverse

As per the request of a close friend, this modified version is released ahead of its full completion. Although it's only 90% finished, you can still have fun playing with it. This model was based on the Zaku model in the CD version of "Gundam Virtual Modeler Pro" from Bandai, which includes a 3D model in Shade format. I attempted to directly convert these into STL files, but unfortunately, those STL files are not printable. So, I created this Zaku model using SolidWorks. It's now fully printable and fun to play with. Enjoy it. Can you figure out what's missing from this model? Update: On May 6th, 2015, two more STL files were added (SK1-Left and SK1-Right), bringing the completion percentage up to 92%. However, I have yet to update the assembly instructions; can you guess how to assemble these parts? Two M2x8 rods are required. On May 16th, 2015, additional STL files - SK2.STL, SK3-Left.STL, and SK3-Right.STL - were added. It's almost complete now, except for the foot tube, which has caused some issues due to potential blockage during movement of the foot. As a result, this version is being discontinued, and I'll focus on improving it in the next release. Additionally, I encountered difficulties when installing the rod for SK3. A metal rod cannot be used in its place, but this can be easily resolved by using a 1.75mm filament instead. This is merely my first attempt at creating a robot model using SolidWorks, and future versions will include more detailed designs.
