Happy Eggbot and/or Baba Yaga Bot

thingiverse

This is a poseable "chicken walker" style robot with two possible heads; the happy sphere head or the weird Baba Yaga house head. For best results, I print each piece at 300% size. It works at 200% as well. 100% would require a very fine printer. My first thing! Instructions I used Blender to model this thing, and have been printing it on a Makerbot Replicator 2 using white PLA Filament. I always print with Rafts and Supports, and I print at "normal" resolution. I haven't tried fine. I find for best results to print the heads sideways, the leg parts laying down (so the circular parts are parallel to the print surface) and the feet standing normally. The .thing print files are laid out this way. The 2x (200% scale) takes about 3 hours to print out, and the 3x (300%!) takes about 6 hours.
