POD Desk Buddy Dinosaur-Open Sourse Project

This is the Dinosaur Housing variant for POD, a modular, 3D-printable desktop robot platform designed to be remixed, customized, and made your own.

The dinosaur version keeps the friendly, rounded POD form while adding subtle dino-inspired details like rear spikes and soft contours. It’s playful without being locked into a single character, making it perfect for desk companions, display projects, or experimental robot builds.

This housing is purely the outer shell — the inside is intentionally simple and open so makers can adapt it for displays, electronics, sensors, or future upgrades.
