My First Printer & Friends Toy 3D Printer

I've created a 90's-style 3D Printer Toy, complete with “Rattle-N-Spin” AMS.  I modeled the entire thing in Fusion 360, and spent about a month longer than I'd hoped prototyping.  This was a really fun build for me, personally, because I got to do a lot with different types of gears and components that I've never used before in my models, and I learned a ton.

The assembly is quite complex, so I put together a detailed Assembly Guide which should make things simpler.

A few things to note about this build:

1. This print profile was optimized for a Supertack Cool Plate, and as a result I don't use a lot of brims in my print profile.  If you're printing on a PEI plate, I recommend that you download the file and add brims and other supports.
2. This entire model prints at 90% size.  The reason for this is I was halfway done modeling when I realized that it wouldn't fit on the build plate.  Regardless of your printer size, if you print at 100%, the fasteners and bearings won't fit, so please, only print at 90%.

Features:

I really tried to capture the feel of a 3d printer and the 90s nostalgia of this style of toy.  

• 3-Axis controls including X- and Y- axis moving print-head plus a Z-axis moving Print Bed!
• AMS that mimics the “spinning rattles” from 90s plastic toys, as well as some “hit-a-mole" style buttons
• Visible fat-toothed gears to give the feeling of an old-school STEM toy.
• Bright colors (of course, you can choose your own colors)
• Faces and characters that really bring you back.
• Four “printable” friends: Arty the articulated Dragon, Boaty the benchmark Boat, Scrappy the Scraper, and Eddie Spaghetti.  These characters are of course, based on the 4 most common things that folks print on a new 3d printer

I should also note that 100% of the modelling for this project was done by me, by hand, using Fusion 360, including the Printable Friends. 

I hope folks like this!
