Printing the parts

Printing the parts#

Facilities#

Every 3D printer can be used, the only requirement is to have a table not smaller than 20cmx20cm, because it’s the size of our biggest part. Also every type of filament can be used, we have used PLA. No special knowledge is need, if you know the very basics of 3d printing, you can print the project.

The robot body consists of 4 main blocks:

  • 1 - Base (red)

  • 2 - Chest (green)

  • 3 - Head (blue)

  • 4 - Arms (yellow)

Social robot Valera (assembly) by GoodLancer


Total weight of filament needed for all the parts is about 680 g . Total printing time on a fast rate will be around 24 hours .

Both STL files to print and source models for FreeCAD can be found on Github in STL and 3d source folder respectively.
