Imperial Probe Droid - Probot by alpokemon

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is the robot from the icy snowy planet in the Fifth movie and not screen accurate. Model is finished and print verified. This model is best printed at 100% scale on FDM. SLA/SLS - go as small as you'd like. I find on FDM, 120% to 130% scale works really well and all the details show super nicely.
Dec 27, 2017 Update - Added a new bottom which changes the orientation fo the legs and some bottom hardware. See instructions below. Enjoy.
Nov 27, 2017 - Added a new head with a rounded top and better antenna nubs. Also added a new body top and a thinner lower body. I removed all the split heads because the split along the seam on the model - prints well but makes it harder to assemble. I would suggest splitting it vertically between some of the eyes and then laying that edge to the build plate.
Printing the Model:
Print 3 sets of the LongLeg 1,2 &3
Print 2 sets of the ShortLeg 1 & 2
Print 5 of the claws of any mix and match between the 3 styles
Print one head of your choice.
Print one body top and one body bottom
Print display post with higher infill
Print the base - Hoth
Assembly:
Glue the body top to body bottom. You can align it to the full body or anyway you like.
Glue the head parts together.
For the legs, glue the upper and lower and the claw. Position them the way you like and then glue to the bottom body
Use the peg to hold the head to the body. This allows the head to spin on the body. You know for that critical missed shot against a big hairy monkey and that bag of mostly salty water named Nan.
Glue the display post to the display stand
For the long range comm antennas, I did not include them. You should take a piece of filament and heat it up and stretch it out. Cut 2 equal length pieces and glue on the antenna nubs. There's no point in trying to print these since it can't be done.
