BOB: The Bobblehead Bot

Customizable, snap fit, articulated and poseable bobblehead in the style of classic 1950's windup tin toy robots. His name is BOB and that's what he does.

Here's a video of BOB in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWU_xUSmFKc

Instructions

Print plates 1-6 which has all the parts separated by color. The eyes, mouth, and logo chest piece look great when you swap colors half way through the print to get a sharp 2 tone look.

BOM for individual parts:

20 models 40 total parts

1 base 1 feet 2 leg 6 pintack_large 2 pintack_small 7 pinpeg_large 2 pinpeg_small 1 body 1 dial 1 logo 2 arm_upper 2 arm_lower 2 hand 1 head 2 eye 1 mouth 1 antenna_top 2 antenna_side_bottom 2 antenna_side_top 1 key

not to be printed:

assembly - just to show you how the parts go together head_cavity_negative - you just need it if you want to cut the shape in the bottom of a model to make your own bobblehead

All parts snap together, no glue or screws needed for anything except the spring in the bobblehead spring section. Note: the pintacks in the arms can be tricky to snap in and you might break a few until you get it right. (don't worry the pintacks are small so you can print replacements quickly)

You'll want to use a bit of hot glue to attach a spring to the inside of the head following the instructions on Bobblehead *Sta http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10822
