A life-size replica of WALL·E, the trash-compacting robot from the animated film of the same name, 3D printed and assembled by PrototypeBD. The design aims to let every joint of the robot move, either by hand or with servo motors.
What was printed
Almost everything you see is printed: the yellow box body with its panel lines and embossed name, the dark grey binocular eye housings with lens rings, the two-part neck, the arms with claw hands and the tank-tread track units with their wheels. Printing the body in yellow and the details in grey gives the film's colour scheme without painting.
Built to move
The design's features, as listed in the post:
- each eye can be raised and lowered on its own by a servo, with room for a small camera inside;
- the head turns left and right, and the neck bends at two joints;
- each arm has a motor at the shoulder, and the hands and fingers can be posed;
- the treads are fully printed and can be driven by two 12 V geared motors.
The photos show the replica fully assembled on the electronics bench, with a servo and its wiring already in place at the neck.
