For anyone that's a fan of Ghost in the Shell, this MOD will be right up your street.
Based on the lovable Tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell, once added you'll be the owner of the coolest Prusa Mini around. One that will have heart and courage and a childlike wonder.
You don't have to go with the colour scheme I used. In fact, I think a black and orange Tachikoma would look immensely cool. Just think TRON!
You do not need a USB extension lead, or to move the on / off switch. This is purely a aesthetic MOD. You do not need to touch the electronics at all.
I've provided a detailed assembly guide as a downloadable PDF. Just download this as you download the STL's. And please please please follow the instructions. It's not a complicated build. But there will be some instructions that would prove useful to follow.
Some of the parts will require a little assembly. For these parts just use super glue. And you'll also need a single a 8 x 5mm circular magnet. Link below.
IMPORTANT
Due to chaos theorem and various printers having differing tolerances and capabilities, there are four tolerance versions for the legs. To save you from printing off the leg grey parts and finding they do not fit, print the TEST FILES and see which version fits best on you mini's extrusion. It should fit well enough on the extrusion that it doesn't slide up and down the extrusion unless you move it by hand. And it shouldn't be so tight you'll have difficulty taking it off. You'll want to be able to take them off if you ever need too. :-)
Below is a small overview advising how much filament is required. Please note I added the silver and grey parts together because they are fairly similar in colour. Also, the below estimates are mostly printed with 20% grid infill.
There is a more detailed chart on the PDF.
For your reference 1kg of filament will hold approximately 330 meters of filament.
| Required Filament (M) | |
| Blue Parts PETG | 179.62 |
| Grey Parts PETG | 186.7 |
| Black Parts PETG | 21.62 |
| White - Parts PETG | 10.51 |
| Red - Parts | 0.5 |
| 398.95 |
