The Evo 13 Tread Botz is an expressive, heavy-duty desktop companion. It is a mechanical tribute to the curious, personality-driven robots of classic cinema, blending industrial grit with a lifelike silhouette.
The Lineage (Credits):
This design is a highly modified remix that stands on the shoulders of several fantastic designers:
Frame Base: Credit to Soozafone for the original Dummy 13 system that provided the initial inspiration and skeletal logic.
Tread System: Credit to MOTTN for the tank tread foundations, which were structured to support the ballast requirements of this larger scale.
Head Shell: Credit to SpaceKaseJase for the "Dummy 13 GU10 Lamp" remix, which served as the starting point for the heavily modified light housing seen here.
High-Performance Engineering:
Friction-Lock Pivot System: To support the 1.32 lb (596g) plastic mass, the joints feature a custom nub internal lock with fuzzy skin texture. This creates a "geared" resistance, allowing for aggressive forward-leaning poses without the "head-nod" typical of large-scale PETG prints.
Weighted Ballast Base: The heavy-duty tread assembly acts as a counterweight for the double-pancake lift arm, keeping the center of gravity low so the bot stays planted even when fully extended.
Integrated Optics: The head housing has been re-engineered for "Demon Eye" bicycle lights, giving the bot a functional, glowing focal point.
The "13" Mark: The chest plate retains the "13" branding to honor its origin as a high-spec evolution of the modular system.
