This is V.I.N.Cent from the black hole. I put this together in tinkercad, this is my first prototype version, I will refine it from here but this is what I would call a more toy grade print, it's a very good representation but it needs more detail and paint recesses for easier painting.

I am currently printing this now at .2 with supports, it's a decent print time, (5 hours total) I split it in half to print with as few supports as possible (currently only needed for the arms) my next build will have the arms/pincers as a separate print so that they are removeable, along with his drill attachment.

As this is built with tinkercad it's going to be fairly limited for some details (the recessed head red coloured areas). I will likely have to switch to fusion to do this up model quality but I do not know how to use it yet :/ Learning one step at a time :)

I've included photos at a raw 50% print (the silver) and the full size version which is painted, as it's all radius and curves it will benefit from fill and sanding which I will be doing on the next versions

Upcoming:

• Arms to be separate print and removable

• mode detail

• recessed flat eyes

• correct the red forehead tabs to be recessed as they should be

• Display base and a mounting hole

History:
September-25-2020

• initial build prototype completed

V.I.N.CENT (short for Vital Information Necessary CENTralized) served as a utility robot aboard the U.S.S. Palomino and as the crew was on the return journey home he detected the black hole, the largest one he had ever encountered.
