Makerbot Robot - weaponized & wider joints

I blended the widened hip, knee, and ankle joints of the Maker Faire Robot remix from tuxcat to include the weapons from steveweber314's remix: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:841695

If you've got a M3D Micro, Tiko or other real inexpensive 3D printer, this version is for you. It's best for those whose 3D printer can't print the tight tolerances of the original and the weaponized version. This will print fine on higher resolution printers, but the legs and arms will be looser. The robot will sit fine, but may not stand on its own if printed on a better 3D printer.

I added built-in supports for the hand gun, shoulder lasers and rear doors, because several of the slicers add too much support and/or where you don't want it (inside the robot). I added spacing to the rear door hinges as well to allow them to open instead of breaking off.

Print with a raft, but without adding supports. Print & trim the built-in supports, and you've got the start of your own robot army!
