I had to put my Pleo away years ago when his neck broke and I was to scared to attempt to open the neck up and take a peek at what exactly happen, today I faced that fear. I took my time and opened the neck up to find the last full sized vertebra near the body was broken in four pieces each piece then hanging by the wires. At this point I wish it was the wires cause I can tell this is going to be an undertaking, but I have more experience and confidence now.
My idea is to take his neck apart fully to extract the vertebra, then to model each section, because it's fully apart, then to print what I need and put him back together. I have access to a SeeMeCNC Orion Delta printer as well as carbon fiber PLA filament.
So my main question is, has anyone done this yet? I couldn't find any 3D printable files here or any where online.
Also are there other parts I should model and put out there that people need?
I'm going to take my time modeling them and get them very precise, using calipers and then test print till it's correct.
I've also wondered about the different toys I've seen now with the RBs, could these be 3D printed and what makes them work RFID. If so then I bet we could make our own toys.
Is there anything else 3D printing could be used for with Pleo?
