Fully articulated version of Makerbog's "print by colour" Tachikoma model rebuilt in Fusion 360.
Features:
Full ball joints on elbows, Hips, Knees, Ankles, and gun
Movable, spherical eyes
Extendo arms
Hinged ankle for wheel transformation
Interchangeable toe/wheen segments
Optional gattling gun replacer with spinning barrels
All parts optimized for printing and seperated by colour - no painting required
(Fairly advanced print with many small parts) (The model pictured is about 10% larger than the files, about the size of a football)
NOTE - Ball joints have 0.1mm clearance all around. This makes them too loose as this model is quite heavy, but any smaller makes them impossible to fit together.
The solution I use is to paint the backs of the sockets with 1 or 2 coats of Plasti dip (or similar liquid rubber), this gives them some resistance and should then happily support the models weight. (not required for gun socket or eyes)

Notes:
Optimized for printing so minimal supports/rafts neded. I only used rafts for the cabin front and back parts. Supports are only needed for the feet, legs and cabin turrets as they have 90 degree overhangs. I recommend using a brim on the arms and legs as they are quite tall with very small footprints.
