Description
Every year I create a 'Robo' design to celebrate the anniversary of the start of MatMire Makes!
For my 4th Anniversary release, we have the Robo Octopus!! It was a very challenging but incredibly fun build! Some fun details... it features a rotating syphon on the underside of the mantle that moves the internal mechanical "guts," plus built-in nubs to pin the arms at an upward angle for extra posing options. You can also cut a few pieces of filament for optional "tube" details inside the mantle (Jig stl included for cutting them to the correct length)
See this assembly video on how it all works... Here.
This is a highly detailed model with lots of color swaps (and lots of arms!), so expect fairly long print times. It prints in several snap-fit pieces. If you're printing multiple units, plate them up by part (e.g., all arms on one plate, all mantles on another) to maximize color-swap efficiency. You can even mix-and-match different color combos for infinite variety. Feeling adventurous? The multi-part design makes it perfect for jumbo-sized scaling!
Includes a more detailed 4-Color 3MF file, and filament-saving 3-Color and 2-Color 3MF files for faster prints.
