Description

🤖 Jawbot – Fully Articulated Print-in-Place Robot Meet Jawbot — a chunky, expressive robot with a big bite and fully poseable body. Designed to be fun, durable, and easy to print, this model comes almost entirely assembled straight off the build plate. 🔧 Features ✅ Print-in-place design – no assembly required for main body ✅ Fully articulated joints (arms, legs, shoulders, hips, jaw) ✅ Mechanical claw hands for dynamic poses ✅ Unique stylized “jaw” head design ✅ Minimal post-processing 🧩 Assembly Notes All joints (except fingers) are print-in-place Fingers are attached using short pieces of 1.75mm filament as pins Simply cut small segments and insert them to secure finger movement ⚠️ Important – First Movement After printing, the joints will be slightly fused by design. 👉 You MUST carefully “snap” the joints loose before use: Gently apply pressure to each joint You’ll feel a small “pop” as the connection breaks free Do this slowly and carefully to avoid damage Once released, joints should move smoothly. 🧪 Print Settings (Tested) Material: PLA (works great) Layer height: 0.16 mm Supports: ✅ Enabled (auto-generated) Brim: Optional (for extra stability) Infill: 10–15% is enough 💡 Tips If joints are too tight → gently work them back and forth If too loose → slight scaling (99–100%) can help Remove supports carefully around joints A tiny bit of lubricant (optional) can improve motion
