Giant Ultimaker Robot for Vacuum Forming

This Thing is an Ultimaker Robot which I scaled up to 200 mm tall by 220 mm wide. I printed him in halves so that the parts could be bucks for a vacuum forming machine. The photos show the robot halves together and then on the vacuum forming machine. This Ultimaker Robot Shell will be used for a balancing robot my 4H class is building. The hollow shell slides over the electronics.

Each half of the Ultimaker Robot takes about 16 hours to print with 10% infill. I used PLA which holds up fine under the vacuum forming process.

This Ultimaker Robot is not to scale for height. It is shorter than it should be and I have added fenders and cutouts for the balancing robot wheels.
