Introducing BoxBot B-01 – A Print-in-Place Robot Figurine
Since launching our course on designing 3D printed mechanisms in Tinkercad and Autodesk Fusion, it has quickly become one of our most popular resources! To celebrate this, we thought we'd design and release a model that showcased the possibilities with 3D printed mechanisms in a fun and creative way.

Introducing BoxBot B-01 – the first in a series of print-in-place robot figurines that fold up into cubes. The model features 10 3D printed hinges that operate 4 moveable legs and 2 cannons that fold out from the robot’s main body. Check out both the assembly and design process videos below!
In addition to being print-in-place with no support material, B-01 was designed parametrically in Autodesk Fusion, which means you can open up the f3d model file and change the ‘boxsize’ parameter to adjust its overall size to whatever you please. Download the files for free from our profiles on Makerworld and Printables, and don’t forget to check out our 3D printed mechanisms course to learn how to design your own!
