Completely redesigned battle mech body for the Vorpal robot kit. Fits all the Vorpal Robot electronics inside - just! I improved the design by making the hinges a single part and moving the battery to the underside, makes it less top heavy and it walks better as a result.
No supports should be required for printing.
Requires two M3 square nuts and two 5mm M3 socket head bolts to hold the battery onto the body. Uses the same screws for the servos as the kit.
The top of the body just pops onto the lower part, it's quite a tight fit. Not the best solution but it just about works. I removed anything that wasn't necessary - I took off the extension cables and buzzer, and the potentiometer remains hidden inside set.
