scratch build Robocop ED-209 by RandomDesign

[RandomDesign]

 Hey its RandomDesign,

finally CMWS is back.

Lets first have a look at the hardware that should be used for the project:

Motherboard: MSI MPG-B650I-EDGE-WIFI
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
GPU: MSI Geforce RTX4070 Super 12G Ventus 2x White OC
Memory: Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000
SSD: Kingston FURY RENEGADE SSD 2TB
PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold

Water cooling: Alphacool

 

 

The concept:

For this years competition, I am planning to build a version of the ED-209 robot from the movie Robocop.
Most of the hardware and watercooling components will be placed in the head section.
By doing that, the hardware should be included into the design as if it is one part of the construction
and might fit a specific purpose.
I will also try to include some LED effects and moving components to match the design of the original as close as possible.

Many parts will be 3D printed, but most of the parts that I need multiple times, will be mold in silicone and then cast in a urethan resin.
I am also going to use a cold cast technique with real metal powder to create all the metal looking parts.
Detailed descriptions will follow as soon as that parts will be created.


Now lets see the original design. I got some images from the latest Robocop game, directly from the publisher Nacon.
Its a good starting point to get high resolution images of the machine, as it has not changed from the one used in the movie.

 

 

 

I used this images to create my own 3D model to get not only all the parts for 3D printing, but also a good reference on size
and where all the hardware components should be placed.
I also helped to get a better idea on how I want each part to be fit together and how a stabilizing core construction can be included.
In total the entire 3D model has about 209 individual parts that need to be fabricated, post processed and assembled.


 

 

And of course some final renderings of the 3D model
