Inspired by ProkhorVLG and their Sunset Research Initiative worldbuilding project/art, I decided I had to create a 3d rendition of the MI-5K "Mike" robot.

I was captured by the retrofuturism and VHS-core feel of the art, and with ProkhorVLG's permission, I can now share it with everyone as a model kit you can make yourself.

Assembly should be straight forward, and I've toleranced everything out fairly generously so even if your printer isn't 100% calibrated, it should be fine.

All you'll need is a little glue to hold everything together.

I plan on doing more models from the SRI universe, but if you want to see it for yourself, the website is www.sunset-system.com

For now, enjoy and remember to Be Nice to Mikes.
 

 

-------------------------------------------------



I suggest using your best judgement on tree vs standard supports for each piece, based on your experience with your own printer. I've oriented everything for ready-printing so no adjustment should be needed.

At 100% size, the fully assembled Mike will stand about 12 inches tall.

Assembly itself should be fairly straight forward, though I would suggest assembling the lower arms and hands first, then attaching them to the upper arms and torso in one go.

Also, the backpack can be "plugged in" to the Mike's back, left beside the Mike for display, or not printed at all if you want.

Post Printing should only involve support removal, light sanding (if you want), and assembly. I painted all the pieces before fully assembling the model, but it's up to you.
