Makerspace at the Fulton School
For this project, I found this creator on youtube who made single print transformers: Talmage Madsen.
The channel link: https://www.youtube.com/c/TalmageMadsen/videos
I chose Kombitron, who took the vehical mode of Volkswagen Bus.
For the robot mode, the arms are attached via a ball/socket joint with an indent on the top, attached to hinges on the torso for some backwards butterfly joint movement. the legs and head are attached to the body via a hinge joint. The robot gets printed out in a T pose, with the roof of the car (the sides of the arms facing the plate. Due to the lack of connections and the specialised cavities in the print, the robot is able to move and transform.
In vehical mode, it does look like the Volkswagon, which is pretty cool.
This is the video from the creator of Kombitron of the transformation. There are more videos on the other single print transformers he has made on his channel.
