WWR Armstrong Robot

This is not a snap-fit, posable model. Printing out these parts will allow you to build a static model in a pose of your choosing.

Design

I tried to use peg-and-hole connections where they made sense, otherwise it's just glue in place. Tolerances are 0.2-0.3 mm. I also tried to orient the model parts on the printing bed to reduce the need for supports but some support is still required. Use your discretion. Assembly relies on common sense. Please refer to the example pictures for guidance. Fully assembled the model should stand just under 20 cm at current scale.

Parts Notes

• Arms: each arm can be left or right; upper arm glues directly to shoulder ball joint; see assembled picture
• Body: two parts: simply glue together
• Dome: glue directly to head once eye is in place
• Exhaust port: glue directly to front recess in lower body
• Eye: two parts: simply glue together
• Feet: print at a fairly high in-fill as the thin ankles have to support the weight of the model
• Fuel tank: glue directly to body on either side of exhaust port
• Hands: fingers are too small to be printed so I cut up a 5mm-wide strip of 1.5mm thick styrene to make the finger joints and glue them in the desired position; see assembled picture;
• Head: two parts: simply glue together
• Hip/shoulder joints: need to be cut from support platform; cylinder ends are to be glued to body and ball ends are to be glued to shoulder and hip sockets
• Joint covers: need 12 in total (2 for shoulders, 4 for elbows, 2 for hips, and 4 for knees)
• Legs: each leg can be left or right; hip glues directly to upper leg/knee; see assembled picture
• Pelvis: see assembled picture
• Revolver: I printed in resin but if printing in FDM, it would be best to split the model down the center of the barrel and lay each half on the print bed
