My friend's son loves Iron Giant. They asked me to make him one. I found this model on GrabCad (https://grabcad.com/library/iron-giant-1) and modified to it be printable. with articulating arms and head and waist.
NOTE: I FORGOT THE SHOULDERS. They have been added now. I also uplaoded models that are oriented properly to print as I feel is best.
EDIT: Due to popular request, I added parts without the supports.
Parts:
Head
Upper torso front
upper torso back
lower torso
hip (x2)
left leg
right leg
fore arms
upper arm (x2)
shoulder pin (x4)
Printing:
Orientation of the prints is important. The upper arm and legs in particular should to be printed laying down to get the greatest strength. Then legs have supports in the model that work pretty well but do leave some scarring (sorry).
Assembly:
You will need some glue (super glue works great). Clean the parts well before assembly. I included supports in many of the models. where holes are printed vertically I added supports that will need to be punched out with a screw driver or pried out with pliers. Many of the supports will pull right off, but you may want to clean up the edges with a razor.
arm assembly:
to assemble an arm you need a shoulder, shoulder pins (x2), upper arm, and lower arm. after cleaning up the prints pin the shoulder to the fat end of the upper arm. You may need to sand the pin down. DO NOT FORCE THE PIN! It will break the should (i speak from experience)
