U-foe Astro Bot

A 3d model of the mini enemy U-foe from the Playstation game Astro Bot has just landed! As usual, it was made by my 12-year-old son who built this in Tinkercad.

Gluing is required for the face, head, and eyes. The head's connector is only there to guide you when gluing, but it’s our first attempt using a connector in Bambu, not so thrilled about how it turned out, you don’t have to use it. It is also causing the connector in the head to be printed in a different color (and the slicer is not allowing the modification of its color), so change the filament for it after the slice when you are sending the print job to the printer. TIP: Don't forget to glue the face and the teeth looking at the same direction.

There is a support blocker at the tip of the antenna and it prints fine without supports, but you can remove the blocker and add supports if you are thinking about resizing the model. Slowing down the print speed at that stage can also help. Scaling down is NOT recommended as the antenna will become too thin and will NOT print properly and will deform before reaching the tip.

These make great party gifts, happy printing!

PS. If you like UFOs and aliens, check my son’s other models in the profile.
