MP10 Masterpiece Optimus Prime (Housekeeping Update)

Description

I RECOMMEND DOWNLOADING THIS FROM PRINTABLES THINGIVERSE DOESNT LET ME UPLOAD ZIPS AND FOLDERS ANYMORE Unlike here, everything over there is color sorted, trust me you'd want that. https://www.printables.com/model/382134 https://youtu.be/srWbdO8IaCI Is buying a KO MP10 off aliexpress too easy for you? Do you already own every single iteration of this mould? Do you want to be a god? This serves as the definitive, most easy to print, assemble, and ""playable"" version of this model. Still not an easy build! Recommended for those who know their way around machines and material as this deals with PETG and TPU, as well as optimising parts for max strength This wouldn't have been possible without the amazing work done by Petergross3 and Warboy on thingiverse. Kudos to them. Featuring a ton of functional and aesthetic upgrades, all responsible for easier printing, assembling and structural improvements. He can even pull off some decent action poses. I printed him at 85% scale so he stands at about 30cm. I recommend printing no smaller than that as I already had trouble with the matrix and ion blaster at that scale. Files for his weapons and accessories aren't included here as I didn't edit them. Fully transformable and mobile. Notes: Some files need to be mirrored in your slicer, and not all parts are orientated for best printing results. Orientation important on any parts with pin holes, hinges, will require your own judgement. Legs and thighs need to print upright to have clean interiors for joints. Spine needs clean printing for transformation. harder TPU the better, maybe anything is or above 97A shore hardness. Please refer to blender file on how to put together. Higher infill or increased wall line count recommended for Legs and feet, just to give some weight. Hardware needed: 2mm pins/ M3 or M4 screws and nuts, some parts need to be glued / welded together. CHANGE list: reorganised files into respective material, renamed for easier searching. tpu bearings created for many of the joints - ankles, waist, fenders, arms - for tigher and longer lasting fit. tpu polycaps created for wrists, hip joint, waists merged some split parts eg. backpack, ankles, wrists, waists for strength. (split large parts can help prevent warping and part detaching mid print). merged spine and fixed spine alignment with waist. added tabs to some split parts for easier assembly - shoulders, legs merged pelvis, split out the ratchet system. added bushings to pelvis. groin cover tab allowance. tabs added to arm flaps articulated hands separate eyes to eye piece ankle swivel longer pegs wheel peg caps added Ratchets added to shoulders and elbows increased the knee bend range of motion - however now legs dont collapse as fully, would require extending of the leg bottoms and i cant be effed Screw holes and ratchets added to shoulder / hip joints for strength. Aesthetic accuracy upgrades: smokestack adjust trailer hitch detail added on legs helmet fix + mask fix new autobot logo + SG window option added yellow arm fillers added treads to back tires shoulder backs detailed thinned side mirrors Improvements that coudl've been made but I've already given up and this has taken too much time: Legs could have longer bases so they collapse further. Or someone could create a Weijiang style longer leg upgrade. Screw holes could be added to legs, thighs and shoulder splits so glue isnt required. Ankles are way too restricted - he can barely use the range of motion allowed. Magnets on the inside of the shin flaps so they can at least attach together in truck mode.
