Wheeler Chair Robot
I saw that last year somebody had built a wheel chair robot?. My idea for the new Robot will be as a stage mascot that can also pretend to play the drums on stage. My brother has a live Metal band every Saturday night and most of the time we have trouble with no drummer showing up. We end up using a Drum machine instead with the 2 other guys on real guitars and singing. So Terminator will be able to move around and substitute behind the drum kit with the Live drum machine signal activating terminator arms at the drums. Also need him to move around in a wheel chair , so is anyone out there that has done this wheel chair hack, looking for suggestions on power/motor controller connections etc...should not be too hard just larger than I'm used to building. This is a youtuber that bought what I just bought,takes a month to get from China and we are building the rest of the Endoskeleton to integrate in wheel chair....

Holy S--T Are you serious? I mean wow!! That would save me serious coin if I could make those myself, I would build a whole Cylon army patrolling my cottage next summer,LOL! That is about the coolest thing I have seen all year as I just bought the Back pack and chest plate for abut $250.00 but that included the Chroming,still wow! Well you know I have always been a fast learner with computers I started building PC from scratch when I was 16 so I have built hundreds of them since and trouble shooting computer problems with hardware or software has been something I always do on the side to help people and make a little side cash so I am really interested now in getting one of these printers. What is a reccomended 3d printer for large robot parts like that back pack?
I only have good things to say about my Crealty 10s. It is great for bigger parts too.
If you go to thingiverse and search on cylons you will find a lot of models already.

@Robo Rad , if you really want to one piece the print then get a Creality C10 S5 but they are 700 bucks. However if you are ok with printing it into maybe 4 pieces and glue them together then get a Creality Ender 3 Pro with glass bed for $230 on Amazon. I just got two of them from UPS today!
Hey thanks Jstarne will start researching, most likely go with one that can make big parts and is there difference in speed with these units?
$719 20 x 20 x 20 inch Bed https://www.amazon.com/Official-Creality-CR-10S-S5-500x500x500mm/dp/B07S9YYRJ7/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=creality+s5&qid=1575331485&sr=8-4
or Creality Ender 3 Pro w Glass Bed 9 x9 x 9 $230
https://www.amazon.com/Official-Creality-Certified-Meanwell-220x220x250mm/dp/B07VMG98ZN/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=ender+3+pro&qid=1575331632&sprefix=ender&sr=8-6
They print the same speed , but I leverage using several cheap and small printers to make parts faster. For example if you cut a part into two pieces instead of one it prints twice as fast. If you have 4 cheap small printers and cut up a print into 4 pieces then you get your print done 4 times faster. More print nozzles means faster printing.
Wow okay good to know thanks!
Now when researching stores online I see very little where to buy and the models they offer range from $1500.00--$8000.00 and this is why people like me get instantly put off the whole idea of ever getting a printer. So now that I know to ignore the commercial stores and just look at these suggested 3d print machines at Amazon ,$700 for a big machine I get questions like why are they so cheap? Are these Chinese knock off versions? Why don't the commercial stores in N.America sell them at that price in the physical stores? Too many questions,more research I need but I am guessing Amazon is the best source then.
Edit----So looking at the different print materials I see that there is also stainless steel compound that can be used to make robot parts such as Terminator skeleton bones,then left raw un-polished or polished to resemble Chrome! So is this the reason why Printers vary in price? The 700.00 dollar ones can't do Metallized material only Platic compounds? Oh I wrote too soon, I see that the Link https://www.amazon.com/Official-Creality-CR-10S-S5-500x500x500mm/dp/B07S9YYRJ7/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=creality+s5&qid=1575331485&sr=8-4 does support copper material,HMM I am thinking about getting one then. I am also forgetting that Amazon.com is U.S. prices while finding on Amazon.ca may be nearly double in Canadian dollars---Well just checked and the same company does not sell this 2019 model but do sell an older version for same price canadian around $700.00,good to know,hope my research here helps others looking to buy in Canada and thanks to Jstarne!
