This is a new version of my old Quadraxis figure made in 2020, it's much larger and faithful to the original boss. In keeping with the spirit of the previous version, I modeled every part myself, this time using the gamecube files as a base reference to keep every part proportional to its original counterpart (some vertices are an exact match, but 99% of the geometry is new). Also decided to reutilize the ankle articulation from the Samus figure, and repurpose it as the joint for every leg.
The entire figure is hollow to house the LED strips, the wires and the controller boxes, I used the electronics that come with the regular strips, but there is plenty space inside the head for an arduino board.
The assembly it's held together with a combination of pegs and 3/16" (M5) screws of various lenghts, these are as follows:
SIX 2 1/2" (60mm) for the knees and body TWELVE 1" (25mm) for the hip joints and leg 1 TWO 1 1/2" (40mm) for the body ONE 2" (50mm) for the head
This fella occupies roughly half a cubic meter of space, keep that in mind if you ever decide to make one for yourself, that being said, it should be possible to scale it down to a more reasonable size, but know that the pegs for the transparent pieces will not work anymore because they are already very small, glue will be require to join these.
Files with a G in the title are groups of pieces, including both regular and mirrored parts, the x will indicate how many times that group needs to be printed. All parts and groups have been made to fit in a 200x200 bed, any missing group is due to the combined size being larger than this (leg 3, for example).
The head comes with both right and left halves, the body and leg halves are all for the left side, these pieces must be duplicated and mirrored in the slicer.
Most pieces are black or dark grey, with other colors specified in the name.

Print Settings: Printer brand: Hellbot Printer: Hellbot Magna 2 300 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 10% Filament brand: GST, Kodak, Grilon3, Printalot Filament color: Black, Transluscent, Red, Gold/Copper Filament material: PLA
Notes: Base is blue, swapping to gold filament for the S, but it can be made in any color.
I used Kodak's "Enhanced PLA" for all pegs, hip pieces, knuckles, ankles, and knee connectors. The pieces have a better finish than the regular PLA, but support is harder to peel off.
Post-Printing Use the various grooves and circles to paint with acrylic. Circles and wedges are red, lines are grey.
