I've been playing with my 3D printer lately. Between the initial issues with the K1 printer and the fact that it's been a while since I last used a 3D printer, I've had to relearn everything, so it seems I've invested over two months just in the setup.

It seems I have finally prepared enough for basic use, so I am making a joint-based toy of my own that I have wanted to try for a long time.

Between that, I made a few test products, and based on that data, I made the "Centipede" robot at the request of one of my biggest clients, our son.

SoonsoonBot Series Bug - Making a Centipede

The main parts are divided into the body, legs, face, and tail, and the body was created so it can be assembled in a different color.

Using the Creality K1 printer, I was able to print really quickly, allowing me to refine the design data multiple times and complete it to a satisfactory level.

Make the body with Hyper PLA Red, and the face, tail, and back plate with eSun PLA+ Black color to complete it.

It turned out really well.
However, while making the back panel, I was a bit disappointed with the opening angle, so I thought about how to improve it. Then, I took the back panel off by crossing the legs, and the angle moved a lot, the weight became lighter, and the design looked even more like a centipede.

I made it and was just playing by myself, going crazy with joy. And my son loved it so much that he played so enthusiastically that he completely destroyed it in just one day.

Thanks to this, my son is playing with it alone, assembling, disassembling, and applying it. I think I need to make a Version 2 that is more durable.
