Articulated Steampunk Robot

Here is the first installment, the main body.  These are the front and back halves, and they should be printed with the flat face down.  They shouldn't require any support, but if your printer has a hard time printing overhangs of a cylinder, then you should consider using support.  I did on mine just in case

Here are my Cura settings:
Layer height:       .1mm
Shell Thickness:  1.44mm ( 3 walls when using a .40mm nozzle). 
Infill:                   10%. 
Brim:                   6mm
Support:             15%, touching bed (supports the upper socket walls.

Update:

After I printed the torso parts, and tried to install the legs and arms, I realized that I forgot to account for the filament width. 

Basically the ball sockets were exactly the same diameter as the ball joints, but when the parts get printed, the filament width outsets the surface, thereby reducing the pocket diameter (for a .40nozzle, by 0.48mm.

So I uploaded the adjusted STL's.

If anyone is interested in the original parts (before adjustment) I can post them upon request.  If you prefer to use something like Kisslicer to slice, you could use the inset function, and set it to 0.5.  That should inset the surface, and provide a tiny bit of clearance.

Update 2:
I'm including the complete body (not split), and oriented for printing upright.  Ir should require support (shoulders, hips and Inside of the neck collar

very cool - thanks for sharing

Part # 2 - Max's hands and arms.

So I posted some combined STL's They've already been cut and positioned.  The shoulder STL contains the shoulder & bicep, and a 4mm pin.  The pin should be glued inside the bicep, but not in the shoulder.  This allows for additional rotation and freedom of movement.

I Sliced the parts with Cura, 15% infill, no support, 6mm brim, .8mm top & bottom (or whatever works for you)

The other parts are the forearm and the hand, the forearm ball fits in the socket of the hand, I just flared out the edges of the ball socket a tiny bit, which allowed me to simply pop the arm in.  The elbow piece (disc fits inside the elbow cup of the bicep.  That one will not fit easily.  I used an Exacto knife to split the elbow socket enough to spread it open and insert the arm.  Once you have the parts printed you'll get the idea.

For these parts I turned on support.  Even though the hand already has some built in support for the fingers, it can still use some support.  So turn support on touching bed only.

Part # 3 - Max's Legs & Feet

Here are the last pieces, the legs.  Each set (left & right) is made from 3 parts, the thigh with the hip joint, the lwer leg with the knee joint, and the foot.  They can be printed without any support (the lower leg has built in supports).

Same print settings as before.

The hip ball should pop into the socket of the body with just a little force.  The foot and knee are a different beast altogether, originally I had planned on printing the lower leg in 2 parts (left and right), but just couldn't get the inside surfaces clean, so I resorted to printing the socket parts upright, then using brute force to insert them. 

Yes, the socket sides cracked a bit, but I then glued the split with some acetone.  Alternately one could heat it up with a hair drier until it softens up a bit, then try to force the joints together.

This is it.  If you have any questions ask, if you do print it, please post some photos.

Very nice.

I do really wish right now, that I could hit that like/plus/heart/thumbs-up button on this!

Also, nice models, another addition to my list of posable must-prints. Thanks for sharing!

loving the robots! really nice piece of writing.
