(Scrub the video to about 1:25)
My aim was not for it to be shiny and new... It is a dirty maintenance drone. Cruddy corners, leaking fluid. A bit beat up.

There are a lot of parts to be glued together. I suggest using JB Weld 24hr epoxy (not the 5 minute stuff). It's a fun project to craft.
If you print the THING files you will have a complete set of parts. Alternatively you can download the .stl files and load them yourself. Assembly will go easier if you follow the suggested process, outlined in the illustrated pics.

This was printed on the Makerbot Mini.
