Convert your Homey domotica system into Marvin, the depressed robot from the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy movie. [edit] If you want to rescale the model to another spherical object: The Homey orb is 120mm in diameter. So use this calculation to rescale everything: (100 / 120) x [Diameter of Orb in mm] = Scaling For example: If you have an sphere of 80 mm you need to scale the model by: (100 /120) * 80 = 66,7% (Of course you need to find matching screws, and the tolerances might be a bit tighter if you scale down) ![Marvin](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/4e/1f/ad/8d/fd/large_display_DSC01638-FB.jpg "Marvin") It's not my original idea, to convert Homey to Marvin, but I couldn't find a good quality model. So eventually I decided to design my own. ![Marvin Back](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/02/87/81/02/85/large_display_DSC01648-FB.jpg "Marvin Cable") You can route the power cable trough the body. I've added a cable route for the left of right feet (Print the one you need). ![Ball Jointscore](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/fd/bb/d4/a0/08/large_display_DSC01652-FB.jpg "Ball Joints") You can move the ball joints in the arms, try to find the best bold tension to move the arms freely but tight enough that it won't move when stationary I also provided a collar for a homey with feet, and a version without feet. ![Feet removed](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/9a/dd/12/08/e0/large_display_Removed-feet.jpg "Feet removed") I didn't like the feet, so I removed them (They are glued, hold it with a wrench, and hit the wrench with a light tab of a hammer). I filled the hole with polyester filler. After that I spray painted it with pearlescent white spray paint. But if you want to keep your Homey "unharmed", use the collar with the cut-outs It was a lot of work to design it, so please share a "make" if you print one :)
