Tachikoma - Fully Articulated

thingiverse

Fully articulated version of Makerbog's "print by colour" Tachikoma model rebuilt in Fusion 360. Features: Full ball joints on elbows, Hips, Knees, Ankles, and gun Movable, spherical eyes Extendo arms Hinged ankle for wheel transformation Interchangeable toe/wheen segments Optional gattling gun replacer with spinning barrels All parts optimized for printing and seperated by colour - no painting required Eye holes will fit a segment of 1.75 black filament (Fairly advanced print with many small parts) (The model pictured is about 10% larger than the files, about the size of a football) NOTE - Ball joints have 0.1mm clearance all around. This makes them a bit loose as this model is quite heavy, but any smaller makes them impossible to fit together. The solution I use is to paint the backs of the sockets with 1 or 2 coats of Plasti dip (or similar liquid rubber), this gives them some resistance and should then happily support the models weight. (not required for gun socket or eyes)
