This robot is inspired by the famous Smoking Spaceman π€π¨ robot from the Japanese company Yonezawa. The Smoking Spaceman is a toy released in the mid-20th century.
The original robot was produced in various colors, including silver, gold, and blue. My robot was 3D-printed in dark gray, but I think a blue silk thread would look better if I had that color available.
This is a express design. The contest on printables.com inspired me to create this simple robot.

The height of the model is approximately 75mm.
The model is printed without supports. All parts are already correctly positioned in space, so print it as is. The robot's arms can be adjusted to the desired position. For the arm joints, I used a design previously applied in SpongeBob, only slightly scaled down.
The head is attached to the body using magnets, and both parts have corresponding holes for this purpose. The magnets are glued in place. Cylindrical magnets measuring 5x2mm are used.
The legs are attached to the body with a snap-fit mechanism. The legs have slight articulation.
A mechanical keyboard switch (Cherry MX) is installed in the head. I used Outemu Blue switches π.
There is a hole at the back of the head, so it can be used as a keychainπ.
If desired, you can use the 'brains' from Cube Heads β they are even compatible with this body.
