RoboForce Coptor Action Figure

This is a from-scratch rebuild of the RoboForce figure Coptor. It's about ⅔ the original scale. There's no pneumatic arm action, but I did include the button in the back that uses a ballpoint pen spring and the arms can bend inward using black pipe cleaners. 

I printed this on my Prusa XL to have the main body in blue, face black, and white eyes in a single print. The face and eyes could be painted in later with a single-color print. All other parts are single-color prints. Glue is only needed for the shoulders, shoulder pegs, and the spring for the back button. Everything else friction-fits together. 

Parts are oriented for printing and comments on each part indicate if a brim or support is needed. 

Back Button/Trigger:

Cut a ballpoint pen spring down to 13mm in length. Squeeze one end slightly so that it friction presses into the black button piece. Then use a bit of super glue in the top of the body to hold the other end of the spring. Be careful not to glue the button itself to the body!

Arms:

Each arm will be need four of the Arm Segment pieces, one Elbow, one Hand, and one Shoulder (Shoulder Front and Shoulder Back). The two parts of the shoulder can use small pieces of filament in the small holes to align them when gluing together later. The hand needs to have the pipe cleaner fed through as the first step.

The Arm Segments have a slight angle, allowing the arms to bend inward. Thread a black pipe cleaner through/around the shoulder, then add two Arm Segments, one Elbow, two more Arm Segments. Loop the ends of the pipe cleaner around the shoulder segment to hold it, with a little slack to allow the arms to bend later. Then glue the shoulder pieces together. If you find you have too much slack, twist the hand or shoulder 1 or 2 times to tighten it up.

Chest Logo:

The Chest Logo.png can be printed onto either paper or a silver inkjet sticker sheet. You'll need to resize the image to 37.5mm high by 16.5mm wide. I used the free Silhouette Studio software for that. Once printed, cut it out and glue it onto the body. Even if you use sticker paper, I've found adding gluestick to the edges helps it stick better over time. I also sprayed two layers of clear matte spray paint over the sticker to prevent smudging.
